They fixed Holy
I think it’s safe to say that Holy is now competitive.[…]

Holy Priest Mastery Versus Haste (Fortunately, No Math)
I’ve been displeased with my thoroughput lately. Well, I know, Holy Priests need a buff, and we will, but still… need more. Plus, for the first time this expansion, my mana is under control. Probably because things have been nerfed […]

Using Jaws of Defeat Trinket and Other Cooldowns to Burst Heal All The Things
This is the part where I brag about getting the Jaws of Defeat. Note that it is an on-use trinket, as follows:
Use: Your next 10 spells cast within 20 sec will reduce the cost of your holy and nature […]

Holy Priest: They Like Us, They Really Like Us
Oh hay, there’s a change to the 4.3 patch notes. For priests. And both items pertain to Holy Priests:
Guardian Spirit’s healing bonus has been increased to 60%, up from 40%.
I felt like the BEST use […]

Epic Fail on the Chakra Uptime Front
Sooo… Despite the fact that Chakra state lasts indefinitely until cancelled or changed to a different chakra state… I’m still not at 100% uptime for boss fights.
Look at this. What the hell?
I know exactly what is happening. I […]

4.3 Patch Notes for Priests: featuring Improved (and finally useful) Divine Hymn
Yesterday, I was, as usual, being a total noob. Here’s how the conversation went:
Laral (our disc priest): Hey they’re lowering the cooldown for Dhymn for holy priests.
Me: [expletives and exclamations of glee] Where?
Laral: Patch notes (OMG UR […]

Fade: It’s not Just for Tank Fail
In some fights, I use Fade… never. There’s one boss, the tank is doing his job, and all is right with the world.
However, if there are adds, they pop up and make a beeline for a bite-sized […]

Holy Priest Mana Management
I have mana issues. A lot. Looking at the upcoming spiritless cloth gear (bleh), I had to use some serious strategery for not going OOM as much…
Gear
My fellow members of Team Heal surprised me with Darkmoon Card Tsunami[…]

Using GridStatusPriestAOE for Maximizing Priest AOE Spell Effectiveness
OK, this is the most embarrassing thing ever. You see that Group 2 needs healing! No problem, Prayer of Healing to the rescue! You center it on someone and… it hits only that person. Everyone else was out of range. […]

A Holy Priest Raiding as Disc
After reading about Disc being soooo awesome (compared to Holy), I decided to give it a spin.
I ran a few heroics to train my muscle memory to the disc way and avoid the aforementioned holy habits. I reforged […]

Bad Holy Habits in Discipline Spec
The hardest part of speccing Disc/Holy is healing with basically the same tools and using them completely differently. I had to nix some of my holy habits – because they are quite awful in disc.
1. Hands off the Renew. […]

Priest Healing Versatility: Is Holy/Disc Dual Spec Expected?
Oestrus over at Stories of O has been asked to go discipline. I’ve been reading that article with interest because the comments just seem to run a huge spectrum.
What really stuck out for me, and in the Plusheal […]

Notes from a Holy Priest Learning 2 Druid Heal
OK, I’ve been healing heroics with my druid alt and it’s very different than healing with a holy priest. Seriously. The hardest part is overcoming muscle memory to reach for certain spells that do not exist (that’s right, I totally […]

Failing and Flailing at Shadow
I did Shadow last night. It was awful. I’m awful.
Then lo and behold, Wow Insider covered this topic recently, as in why I SHOULD do shadow. Hrm.
Reasons to do Shadow (for me):
- I can run heroics

I didn’t realize that I was burnt out until I started playing an alt
I knew I was in trouble when I gleefully offered to sit out a raid. Twice.
See, I had been working ridiculous hours and the ONLY wow time I could afford was getting raid ready on my main, and then […]

Getting the Dreaded Valor Points
There’s been talk lately about doing instances for VP, capping, etc. See Kurn’s Post, Windsoar’s, and Oestrus’s.
My Thoughts on Gear and VP
And I’m going to share with you my thoughts coming from a full-time working […]

I Can’t Do 5 x 2 (but I can rhyme)
So… 5 x 2 project. Read about it here. The idea is that you’re supposed to be able to bust into combat with a total of 11 abilities hotkeyed.
However, as a holy priest, I have a LOT of […]

Test Drive: Lightwell Geespot
This weekend, I tested out Lightwell Geespot. Previously, I did not want to use this addon because it lacked a config menu, and I was not about to muck about in the LUA.
I’m going to say that […]

Holy Priest Guide Up
Against my better judgment, I wrote up a Holy priest guide. And then it expanded and demanded its own sub-guides: Macros and Power Auras. That’s kinda been eating up my blogging time for the last few weeks, but […]

What’s Your Holy Priest Spec?
So I’m writing a Holy Priest guide, which means I’m obviously nuts. But I need your help. I want to see what Holy specs you are using and why. Not everyone is running with my particular raid makeup. Some of […]
