UI
Upload UI: 
Which addons do you consider essential and why?: 
I used to HATE HATE HATE addons. However, I've become dependent on them now. Looking back idk how I healed without grid, it is AMAZING, the blizz ui for healing is non-existant. I've experimented with a few and narrowed them down to the ones I like. I have one for my main pali spells that I love because its really simple but really usefull. I find Xperal really useful for pvp and pve.

Be on in case we need you.  I could really use a holy paladin.  This could be a great chance for you to get that guild invite.

A few things about you, Could

Ghli — Thu, 09/23/2010 - 08:52

A few things about you,

Could you wear your PvE gear at some point? Every time I check your armory, I keep seeing the same PvP gear over and over.

I'm a bit puzzled at your specs. Your first spec has AM, imp conc, imp HoJ, glyph of seal of light and glyph of beacon of light, but 3/5 holy guidance(12% increase in int instead of most pve paladins have 5/5 for 20% more int), 1/3 imp Devo, and no Imp LoH. Your second spec has AM, glyph of seal of wisdom, 3/3 imp Devo, imp LoH, but 1/3 blessed life. You also have a PvP libram(which isn't wrong). Which one is your PvE spec?

From what I am hearing, Salmon is hurting for healers tonight, and was hurting yesterday. Were you around then, and will you be on tonight if possible?

Spec 1: PvP - Spec 2: PvE

Chiëf — Sun, 09/26/2010 - 03:46

Sry about my pvp gear being on the armory all the time, usually do a BG before i log, ill try and remember to switch.


As for my weird 1st spec, its PvP. Talents/glyphs that are crucial for pvp and arena.


and my 2nd spec is PvE. AM is great for casters in constant dmg fights. glyph Seal of wisdom gives me way more control over my mana pool with 5% mana saved on all spells! hella mana saved, really one of my fav. pve glyphs. As for imp devo its got to be my least fav talent i have, right behind toughness and blessed life. I went for that talent for the 6% healing and dont really like any of the other talents in holy, although if you really wanted me to or needed me to i could go for imp. blessing of wisdom or sacred cleansing, just feel like it would be a bit of a waste. I got imp LoH because I figure if im casting that spell the tank is prolly in a lot of trouble and heals are going to need all the help they can get so we smoothly get control of healing.


wish I had seen ur post sooner.

Elapsed — Sun, 09/26/2010 - 07:57

big fan of imp LoH myself as the 20% phys dmg reduction is a great CD for a tank when they need a little help, especially on fights like hard mode LK. The Devo aura in your spec reminded me of when I joined and actually inspired me to go get it again. The only reason I speced out of it was because we at the time always had a prot pally who had that covered. But since Epat now plays his lock and Orky/Quisjaa/Nuitarin are our tanks now, It's good for the raid to have a good bonus around.

Ok sorry I haven't posted sooner (been slacking)

Elapsed — Mon, 09/20/2010 - 09:24

Hey! May I first say I agree with you whole heartedly, AM is a required talent for any holy pally worth his salt these days. When it came out (the Ulduar patch) I was told I was dumb for taking it and Div Sac. But now look! it's the build we all love!

so let's get through the critiques so I can get myself a coffee and wake the hell up! (sorry if some of this is out of date but it's based off of Wow-Heroes since you logged out in your pvp gear)

1) Enchants, You're Exalted with hodir but have the less enchant on your shoulders.... why? Boot's should be Tuskar's because being able to run away and out of shit faster is priority and also = more healing (because you live longer) and for most of your other items (and these are totally preference) I recently made the change to enchanting pure INT on everything as well (weapon bracers) and have seen some great increases in my uptime with mana. Not sure if you've had any troubles on that front,

2) you have a sp/mp5 gem in your ring..... for a SP socket bonus..... given how soaked we are with SP as is why didn't you chose to just pop a 20 int into that badboy? 

3) the [50346] is pretty terrible for us. [48724] is the easiest of better trinkets to get, also on that list (since I see TOCs all the time) is [47041] and actually Solace is one of our BIS along with one off of Algalon 10 man. Plus there's also [45490] off of Mimiron 25 man. So there are plenty of ways for you to ditch that trinket and increase what you can do as a pally. Also your other trinket isn't the best either but I'd get rid of the aforementioned one first

4) GET YOUR 2 PIECE!!!!! the bonus is a second set of wings essentially! and can be popped with wings which makes it that much more useful. I pop wings and divine illumination with divine plea to get 5% bonus heals at half the cost and regain 25% mana at the same time! It's really just the best 2 piece ever. and when it comes to Valithria Dreamwalker you can pop wings/illumination right off the bat and get out 15-19k hps and then pop again once you have her at 90%+ (this is hardmode fyi not sure if there's time for it on normal anymore) So you can maximize your throughput just that much more!

5) last but not least just as a tip, use [43366] as your last minor, you never know when you may have to buff might on 3 ret pallys and wisdom on just yourself.

 

Looking forward to your reply! Hope the App process is treating you well

yay for a post

Chiëf — Sun, 09/26/2010 - 03:56

just saw this, give me a little bit and ill get back with the status on my gear/ench/soc. really helpfull post.


as for the trink, i have the talisman in my bank but i preffer the passive 179 spell power and around 6k mana on boss fights from sliver, i used the talisman when i was hurting on mana and needed all the int i can get but i really havent been mana starved in a long time. I could see the extra mana/stats from +int being usefull in a heroic saurofang and lk where i have to be careful with my mana.


ive done toc many times, but have only seen the trink drop once.

If you're buffing might on 3

Pelana — Mon, 09/20/2010 - 11:30

If you're buffing might on 3 rets, shouldn't you have all the pally buffs anyway? ;) I think that proves that everything else you said is wrong.

<3 pally heals

Kaila — Mon, 09/13/2010 - 19:30

I ran with this guy in ICC 10 and I personally think hes an awesome healer.  I don't know a whole lot about pallies and healing but he was pulling 50% of the heals on most fights.  He knows the fights pretty well and knows what he should be doing.  I think we should give him a try!  =)

If you like addons you should

Zevix — Mon, 09/06/2010 - 22:44

If you like addons you should check out Bartender ^ ^, default blizz bars = ugly and cluttered.

hrmm

Chiëf — Wed, 09/15/2010 - 20:12

so I've used bartender before, I didn't really find any benefit from it except that it was really really easy to key bind things, like even stuff i wouldnt normaly key bind. I got rid of it because I didnt feel like configuring it for every alt, but I got it back today and was happy to see that everything was where I left it except that useless bar on the bottom left that I'm going to get rid of. It doesn't show my key bindings but im comfortable with them so its not a problem.


modified UI pic is up....still need some getting back used to and adjusting but shouldnt change much.


also, if u really need me to have duel spec Ret, i can start working on that.

>.<

Chiëf — Tue, 09/07/2010 - 01:36

I like using the default :/ i tred using an addon that took everything away except the spells and u could stack them, resize bars, move them wherever you want. I tried that for a while but I just feel more comfortable with the default. I wouldn't mind trying a new one though.
