Well first I'd like to start

Ariesnus — Mon, 07/25/2011 - 22:44

Well first I'd like to start by saying thank you to both of you for the time you put into your comments. It means alot.

 

Secondly, I fixed my glyphs, thank you for telling me about the lack of dispels in FL. I completely agree that that glyph combo is the best.

 

The reforging is quite random I guess if you don't know what I'm trying to achieve. I was figuring that if I have 15% crit unbuffed then I would have 20% in a raid with a ele shammy or feral druid. Having it hovering around 20% increases the chances of keeping conviction up at 3 stacks without completely gimping the other stats. That's my reasoning behind the pants not being reforged but the shield being reforged.

 

And to be honest, The tricket is not optimal but it isnt bad. If I'm using Judgement on cooldown like I should be because of the mana back, then there is a harmful spell.

 

The reason that my keybinds are weird is because my hands are very shaky and I used to have trouble with misclicks so i just put the bubbles and the cooldowns in places where I wouldn't accidently hit them. So I just click them in game. It's much easier and safer. I'd rather click then look like an idiot who bubbled five seconds into a boss fight.

 

The mining is going to be changed as soon as I have a steady guild. I'll probably do either JC or LW. Haven't decided which one though.

 

I use grid for Raid layout. I uesd the wow default one for the beginning of Cata simply because of the Chimaeron fight (it allowed to show health remaining).

 

I use a couple standard marcos. One for mouse over cast of cleanse and one for /assist judgement. As far as addons go I use powerauras for a conviction counter and for 3 individual holy power auras (the 3rd holy power "meows" at me to let me know that I have 3).

 

Finally to finish I'd like to thank both of you for your time and effort again. If I missed anything I apoligize. Also sorry the large wall of text this is, I just wanted to have some sort of organization. <3

Well thought out, well worded

Elapsed — Tue, 07/26/2011 - 09:47

Well thought out, well worded reply. For someone with Conan O'Brian as his avatar on the site, I'm impressed!

intresting logic on the crit, I'll have to take a look at my conviction uptime and see if I'm not keeping that going myself now, I've got 15.42% unbuffed we'll see how I do when I add it to my PowerAuras.

 

My last questions are pertaining to healing style and ability.

1) a long shot but do you have any parses (like world of logs) of you healing a raid. Not a big deal as numbers dont say much, but I'd love to take a look at your style and see which heals get priority from you. If not maybe you can tell me the order next time you heal a raid from like Recount or Skadda.

 

2) so only mouseovers for your cleanse? are you using something like Clique? or are all of your heals mouseovers as well? the ammount of time a person spends to target before casting may not seem like a lot but the time made up for a mouseover or clique is atually quite a bit when were talking split second raid saving heals.

Pelana — Tue, 07/26/2011 - 13:56

I was curious about the conviction uptime too. It was not something I'd ever thought about much so I looked at a few parses. Just about all of the fights seemed to have about a 90% uptime with an unbuffed crit of 14.9%. We may or may not have a crit buff in our raid, I don't pay attention to that stuff...


That probably means it fell off once or twice during the fights but was up most of the time. Seems like that's probably good enough to not need to stack crit for but who knows. I plan on stacking crit for fun sometime just to see what it's like.

saedo — Tue, 07/26/2011 - 16:03

Only if he's Holy Shock'ing the boss.   It's spell damage debuff for the fire mages.

But the 5% crit you're thinking of is probably the Atar Kitty Krit Buff.

crit buffs for spells are the

Alprazalam — Tue, 07/26/2011 - 17:06

crit buffs for spells are the feral druid buff AND fire mage or lock.   Locks and fire mages bring the same 5% crit buff.

 

Also remember that any int procs you have on ur gear (power torrent for example) also increase spell crit percents during the proc.

saedo — Tue, 07/26/2011 - 17:38

But I take it that the Lock / Fire Mage debuff is pretty irrelavent to the holy pally.

Is that a rip on Conan?

 

In response to the first question, I was in a guild called WP Gaming. We were on World of Logs but for some reason they were deleted so they are unavailable. I can tell you how I heal. I typically will beacon a tank and then spam HL around on people who need spot heals. I use holy shock on cooldown, and try to get word of glories going early and often. I don't hesitate to you Divine Light. That's the best I can possibly describe how I play lol.

 

I only use mouseover for my cleanse. I do not use clique or anything of that sort. I have used mouseover macros for my heals before but I feel more comfortable with targeting. I also feel I'm better with targeting.

Well your spec is nearly

Pelana — Sun, 07/24/2011 - 15:10

Well your spec is nearly identical to mine, so that's good. I would suggest swapping the beacon glyph to divinity. An emergency 10% of your mana pool trumps the single cast of beacon you're likely to use in a standard boss fight. Personally I'd also swap the cleanse glyph for LoH since we don't dispel much in Firelands, but if you run heroics a lot it might not be worth it for you.


Your gear is gemmed and enchanted more or less correctly (although I assume you simply don't have a better alternative to the dps trinket) but the reforging confuses me. You seem to reforge into crit on most of the pieces but some of them you reforge out of it. Plus there are some pieces not reforged at all. On your shield you went haste->crit but your legs are just haste with no reforge at all.


Are you trying to hit some benchmarks with this or is it just semi-random? I'm aware that our secondary stats aren't so clear cut anymore, I'm trying full mastery out at the moment which would have been unthinkable pre-4.2. Just curious on what you were trying to get at.


Finally, the keybinds in your UI confuse me. DL on 5? Bubble on '-' seems hard to hit in an emergency, not to mention wings, AM, guardian, plea and illumination aren't bound at all. This is more a nitpick of mine as I don't give a shit where your buttons are if you preform well.


Elapsed, what do you think?

Elapsed — Mon, 07/25/2011 - 00:39

I think I'm going to take a shot in the dark here Pelana and say his keybindings are from a Razor Naga, could very well be wrong on that. If I am wrong I too would like to know why bubble is in such an obtuse area to hit.

Spec is fine, close to ours (were all 1 point diff from eachother)

Glyphs I agree, although I switch to cleanse for some fights myself out of LOH, But ALWAYS divinity, that mana return is amazing when needed!

Now I had problems reforging myself, where when I got a new piece of gear I would just reforge on it without realizing what I had done on other gears. Still though, Crit is one of those things that now I'm not a big fan of personally. Care to explain (not attacking you for it) your reasoning for reforging into it. I keep in mind that what I do is not alaways ideal for everyone. 

 

Too bad you're stuck with that dps trink, I would say try to get Tsunami if you can afford it, it's an amazing trinket to have and incredibly useful, OR get yourself into a BWD/Bot pug and hope for a  Jar or Fall of mortality, Jar has been one of my fav trinkets this xpac (Pelana didnt need it) Seeing as I'm TERRIBLE at mana management!!!! lololol

VERY glad to see your enchants! EXPECIALLY Lavawalker! it's rare to see a recruit that know the value in that one! 

ok Why mining? was it to make money? I can understand that reasoning, but TBH in a raiding environment and as clearly a Min/Maxer as you are (compliment to the max!) Gathering profs serve no practical purpose. Are you planning on getting a profession to help with stats? if so Leatherworking seems to be the most benefitial to our class/spec atm.

 

um I love Pally Power being there, Glad to see I'm not the only one still living the dream! 

What raid frames do you use? can you post a UI shot of them in action, Also are there any healing addons or Macros you care to share with us, What do you use, what do you love?

OH last but not least! Nice job getting Aura Mastery! so many holy pallies I see in SW and on Armory have been skipping that, when its such a useful damned tallent.

 

so yeah Hi, thank god we have another holy pally app, I was getting bored!
