I have a 52 priest that I hopped on to try this out on. Definite fun but I need a shit ton of macros to make it work. Also, when did they lower the price of the 2nd talents to 100g?
Because its blocks Vigilance/Vengeance. This isn't an issue on hard hitting bosses, but on 5mans.
I don't think you need a bunch of macros for disc healing, I toss out prayer of mending and renew on the tank (tanks don't like PW:S), when the fight starts I toss out some dots then spam smite until somebody needs some more healing. I am getting a feel for it now, I did a few BGs to get a feel for my keybindings then I did a few heroics.
The problem has always been that as gear gets better in each expansion healers have to do so little that you can toss out one hot at the start of each pull then top a few people off at the end, or you just spam one heal all the time, just watching for a health bar to drop so you can do something. With this Disc healing style you are watching the mobs and the health bars, there is always something to do, I remember in the BC and the current expansion healing as a priest where I would try to heal the entire heroic with only prayer of mending to keep my % of heal as close to zero as possible just to make it interesting.
No. The only tank you don't really want to shield are pallies. They get mana from heals and even then, prot pallies don't have much mana issues these days.
Shield mechanics were changed a few patches ago to not affect threat/rage generation.
I wish someone would update the fire mage thread on EJ already.
