Still, somehow it is good to be a healer, otherwise we wouldn't do it, would we? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29172675.post-30423993903115109042007-04-01T13:43:00.000-07:002007-04-01T13:43:00.000-07:00I'll agree that its hard being a priest (myself ha...I'll agree that its hard being a priest (myself haveing a 60, a 70, and a 19 twink priest), but it sounds as if you almost have scorne for the other classes.<BR/><BR/>My experience has been entirely different from ANYTHING you just described. I am praised for my healing abilities (which are very good), I use many strategies and tactics which could determine the outcome of the fight (i.e. knowing when to shield/renew the warrior as opposed to greater healing him, variations on where to stand, variations on when to move, knowing when to use higher threat healing and shielding myself to pull a mob to me and save some mana, when to bandage as opposed to healing, etc... the list can go on), and if the maintank dies, I'm usually in a party that is comprised of players who break the game down strategically and who can see who dragged it in (usually the hunter).<BR/><BR/>Also, while soloing as a HOLY PRIEST, I can take on 3 to 4 mobs at once... and I can take down elites up to 2 levels above me (above 60, my level or lower cause of the massive damage they deal). Not because of my gear, but because of strategy, knowing when to heal, when to fear, what methods to use when attacking... a good combination of holy fire, mind blast, S.W.P., and shield+wand will bring down almost any mob your level or lower without you taking a single point of damage.<BR/><BR/>I agree with the bit about not being the hero... you arent. But you're the one that makes it possible for the hero to exist... in Marvel or Capcom or whatever labels the heroes with sidekicks fall under, you will see that heroes dont NEED their sidekicks... what good did robin ever do batman? Nothing. He got in trouble a few times and batman had to bail him out. Shortround to Indi? Again, nothing, and shortround almost got indi's heart ripped out from negligence. The relationship between a priest and his warrior is quite different. And yes, I chose those words on purpose. Many times, a priest and warrior will pair up as the heroes. If the group functions at maximum efficiency in an instance, the warrior is the only player taking any damage. The priest will mainly heal the warrior with a few helter skelter heals to other party members who pick up aggro for a second or who get an angry mob breaking their crowd control. The priest makes the warrior and has the true power. If the warrior scorns the priest, the priest can leave and warriors that dont have a priest to back them up are a dime a dozen. If the priest knocks out the warrior, however, then you up a creek without a paddle.<BR/><BR/>I dont mean to attack your views, merely share mine which are different so people can see both sides of the equation. As I read those paragraphs it honestly sounded to me like you may have been in the guild led by that guy that is featured in the "MINUS 50 DKP" video. I apologize for the poor experience you had, or the one you didnt have and chose to create there and I hope this comment lightened the views of readers who are considering rolling a priest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29172675.post-1165293410040430532006-12-04T20:36:00.000-08:002006-12-04T20:36:00.000-08:00Heya Relm,Found your blog on the WoW forums, very ...Heya Relm,<BR/>Found your blog on the WoW forums, very well put mate.
