Thinking Disc priest over REsto sham

[daviddoran]

I never had any mana problems as holy, unless im also doing a lot of DPS. I stack spirit gear as that gives me both mana regen, and spellpower. I haven't had mana problems in a long time. And if you do thats what the pet is for.

You will have mana problems with holy if your gear is suspect.

I am glad this thread came up. Although, the thread is Disc Priest vs. Resto Shaman (sorry!!) I was just looking over my class specs to see if I should adjust anything and was wondering if I should go disc instead of holy on my priest.

I don't really have any mana issues or healing problems, but want to be as optimal as I can. I use Flash Heal and GHeal on my tank and typically Holy Nova and Flash Heal on my slaves. It seems that disc is considered the better tank healer though, and I assume the Holy Nova works just as well. Guess I will actually have to dual spec one of my toons.

Ok so far so good with the dis priest. One thing i hate when you cast penance you character turns to your tank, then when you move to run out of stuff your priest goes a different way then the rest. how are you guys getting around that?

Mana never an issue

Instant shield is awesome

Trying to figure out a macro to cast inner focus if off cool down right before a Prayer of healing but when it is on cool down it by passes it and just cast POH.

As far as movement goes, we have directional movement, which depends on facing.
Or follow.

The easiest will be to spread your toons out.
And then have a key for everyone to follow a specific toon.

You could go with a follow keymap if you want.
It sends the arrow key to the "lead" toon, who isn't your tank.
And it sends /follow "Lead Toon Name", to your other slaves.
Could do the same with a warcraft macro and creative keybinding, if you wanted.




Would this work, or hang on the Inner Focus?

/cast Inner Focus
