Healing with more ease (Holy Priest)

I kinda healed as holy all the way today since there was no Trees around...

Zell was disc and I could see his style of shielding since I have set the indicator on grid to show shields on players....kinda interesting...

I feel that I could heal with more ease today...Realised that the CMI healing last week was due to my router's problem...my latency was at least 400 plus ms...OMG...no wonder...this week I did not even reach 350ms...

Got myself 2 new gears Frozen Bonespike and Sanguine Silk Robes both heroic version...Da was telling me to save my DKP for the tokens...but I realised that I should at least upgrade to do better in my healing then just wait and wait and fight with everyone on gears...

Needless to say the new main hand was so much better then Trauma...I was just wondering if the Heroic version of Trauma will be better then the main hand that I just got...and Haha actually menitoned to me that the heroic version of Trauma will not do us (shaman and priest) any good....Guess I will just stick to Frozen Bonespike for the time being...

Anyway the mystry of my CMI heals has been solved...I just hope that my service provider will not give me more problem next week....

I am really glad that we downed Heroic Blood Prince Council easily...OMG I nearly get hit by empowered fire ball...too slow in running away from it...lucky when it reaches me it has become smaller...OMG...

So tomorrow we can move on to try out Heroic Valithria Dreamwalker...

Heroic Festergut

Was late back home due to RL issues...my Parent-in-laws are back to Singapore...

Talked to MM about healing after our tries on Heroic Festergut...PoM is more important then shielding...3rd spore onwards then start shielding everyone is advised...

I have been just shielding and doing PoM whenever I have time...but the problem is according to MM I should pay more attention to PoM cos everyone is getting AOE dmg...

I could see the pple having Vile gas...so I can heal those pple especially...if the MT healers both gets the vile gas...I will definitely heal the MT first then turn to the MT healers...then the raid...

I realized that I have made a very bad mistake of healing using PoH...pple are too spread out to be able to get the optimum heals...so I must remember that PoH is a no no in this fight....

One of the thing I have not done so far to keep myself alive when I missed a spore due to screw ups on running of spores is to Pain Suppression myself, shield and then PoM...I must really practice to do tat...if not how to survive Festergut??!!!???

So the conclusion that I get from healing disc in this fight is that I have to PoM more...Shield when necessary...only start shielding everyone after the 3 spore. PoH should not be used. Not to forget Penance on low health pple...very important too...

New Raiding Experience

This week is the 2nd week I have been raiding with the new guild...first week I never take time to practise before going for raid...have been really busy with RL the past 2 days...

Needless to say it was really fun to play a disc priest...last week I had to alternate between a holy and disc priest since there were way too many priest around and some of the priest does not have holy spec...

That can really be confusing as I really feel that healing for holy priest and disc priest is really different...lol...I guess I have been ranting about that for a long time...

Anyway, we down Festergut hard mode last week giving me time to review on the healing using a disc priest...its is not only about healing...but shielding the pple who requires healing...I am not sure why but this week especially when I have gotten my connection to be better I still died during the fights...raid awareness is very important...

Malleable Goo seems very easy to avoid as long as when you see the puddle of green slime on the floor...move...but the running away part is a bit tricky since you might come too close to someone else...If healers are being hit as I mentioned before...they get a slow debuff and then tanks might die cos of that...if the dps gets hit then most likely we will not meet the enrage timer...which is what happened to us this week...sigh....

We have a few failed case on getting innoculated...those who gets spores are not running to the right place...there are times that 2 of the spores will run to the same place...omg causing at least 1 group that stacks together miss and of cos getting lots of dmg during blight is one of the cause of death...

Anyway I guess we will have to try Festergut again tomorrow...I still cannot figure out what is causing the heals this week to be so weak...so who is the weakest link? I gotta wait for Zell to upload the reports before I can find out what is missing from my heals...dying of cos is the worst thing...must practise my reaction...

I really need to join a 10 man grp to start practising heroic modes else it will really am too slow for raids...I do not want to be the one pulling the raid down...heroic modes are really PITA...
