2-5 Priests

[boxblizzard]

I would love to see videos of Paladin Tank+4Priests running dungeons at cap and see how things go. It would be great to see if 4 shadow priests with vampric healing can keep the paladin up.

this would be an interesting factor, it’s 100% viable team to end dungeons.

however there are some issues in PvP with IWT facing targets on priests. Flay doesn’t target mobs unless within 90 degree angle. So this is my only issue, has anyone done priests and solved this issue for targeting moving objects outside of 90 angle?

I was hoping like locks health funnel, they face target at any angle, but they do not!

priests have a lot to offer and strong dps in the field, but it’s critical I have good crowd control to manage a gank.

besides setting up binds to turn inwards, and/or spin and spam mind flay “ you must be facing your target” I can’t see how else I can IWT with enemies say with a gank or fear.

any tips?

Sorry I don't know of any tricks for Priests like I denoted previously for Warlocks. In future expansions there are items that will allow multiboxed toons to face targets but I don't know of any for Classic nor likely for Classic-TBC.

Your best bet may be to have a macro that does a 360 spin spamming Flay till you acquire the target and stay on target. Not sure if that is doable or not but if you could do it to where it stops trying to turn once it reaquires it's target and starts channeling then it may work. Maybe try to check if not channeling swing 45% and try to channel, then if not channeling another 45% until it fires... Not sure if this can be done but worth a shot.

This is my thoery on how to counteract it, but its very unrealistic.

Yes i can setup the team, the pve side will be OK, some spells dont require facing the target.


I wonder if penance can face target as disc?

Dont get me wrong, love the locks way of facing people. This makes locks very viable from a simple press of a button!

My mission is to build a hybrid healer team that off heals the tank, without a resto.
