Based on what I've read here, I'd personally vote this guy into guild.  It's not my call, but if it were, that's how it'd be.

Talk to me about how you

garreth — Thu, 05/14/2009 - 09:44

Talk to me about how you approach healing. 

  • What macros, indicators and decision making tools do you use? 
  • If you're assigned to heal the tank and a mage next to you takes a bunch of damage, what do you do? 
  • What keys are your heals bound to? 
  • Talk to me about Holy Shock. 
  • Every single person in the raid just took 15k damage.  What do you do?
  • Do you have indicators on targets for a) HoTs, b) shields, c) incoming heals from others?
  • How have you chosen to use Beacon?  How do you use it in PvE and PvP?

Re: Talk to me about how you

Hexlord — Thu, 05/14/2009 - 17:04

"What macros, indicators and decision making tools do you use?"

As far as macros go I use mouse over macros with grid. What do you mean by indicators? like an addon? I used to have macros that would use my trinkets when i used to pve but since then i have just done arenas and have my trinkets keybound.

"If you're assigned to heal the tank and a mage next to you takes a bunch of damage, what do you do? "

It really depends on the fight, if it was a fight like Brutallus and i was healing a tank then no i would not even think about it plus a mage can ice block if he is in a bad spot.  If it was some other class and it was a fight like archimonde and it looked like he was about to die and wasn't getting any incoming heals whatsoever then I would heal him with an instant heal like Holy Shock real quick if i could and that would hopefully give other healers a chance to heal him up.  But as far as Healing other people up i won't cause the raid is counting on me and trusting me to heal the tank just as i need to trust the other healers that they will do there job.

"What keys are your heals bound to?"

In the screenshot above, HS is "1", HL is "3", and "5" is FoL, but i don't use that spec (32/0/39) for anything other than 2v2 and dueling.  When I used to pve I had way different keybindings.

"Talk to me about Holy Shock."

It is the best heal ever.  I constantly use it in the arenas.  It is a great healing spell now and no longer has a long CD. It is also a great for helping my partner burst in arenas. I use a macro with divine favor then Holy shock and then i use the instant FoL.  It is a good amount of burst healing.

"Every single person in the raid just took 15k damage.  What do you do?"

If i am main healing a tank then i would get there health back up asap then I would heal myself with something like HS when i got the chance. My main priority would be healing up any tanks first. I think all pve paladins or most of them use that Holy Light glyph too so that would help heal melee near the tank if you casted HL.

"Do you have indicators on targets for a) HoTs, b) shields, c) incoming heals from others?"

Grid shows incoming heals but I don't have an addon that shows current shields on a player other than looking at their buffs.

"How have you chosen to use Beacon?  How do you use it in PvE and PvP?"

I use beacon of light in pve situations when there are two or more tanks. I would put it on the one i am not healing to help heal him.  If there is only one tank for the fight then and a lot of aoe damage the raid take i would either put it on myself or someone else i think is susceptible to dieing quickly.

In pvp i generally don't use it much in 2v2, but in 3v3 and 5v5 i use it at the start of the fight.  It costs too much mana to keep up the entire fight and most fights last only a couple minutes.  In 3v3 my comp is hunter/dk/pally and i normally put it on myself, the hunter is generally FF'ed and i put BoSac and Divine sacrifice on him to prevent me from being cc'ed and certain times and to help absorb damage that he would take while the beacon heals myself back to full health from the damage i take from those abilities.

Hex: somewhere on the site is

jaibyrd — Thu, 05/14/2009 - 22:33

Hex: somewhere on the site is a basic setup for grid that shows how to set it up to show shields/hots and other people's incoming heals on everyone.  You'll have to search for it cause I'm to tired to look and find it. :-)

Yeah i see other people's

Hexlord — Fri, 05/15/2009 - 13:33

Yeah i see other people's heals.  Just don't see shields; I'll check into that later tonight or something.

questions

Aurleas — Wed, 05/13/2009 - 15:12

First off Hex I am not trying to pick a fight with this post i just have a few questions.  Whether you remeber me or not i was in rpb with you.  I have a few issues i would like you to adress. 

 I will admit that rpb was a terrible guild with alot of issues. Your name sticks out as one of the people that contributed to the overall terrible guild atmosphere that i experienced there, im not sure if the negative things i noticed you contributing, were a product of that atmosphere or if thats who you are???  You seemed to be confrontational with other healers and arrogant about your rather dismal performace, and emo when things didnt go your way.

I have noticed since your time in rpb you have belonged to two other guilds Odyssey and Tempest,  both of which are good guilds in their own respects and most likely wouldnt have kept you if your performace hadnt increased since i last palyed with you,  but DF is about a whole lot more than raiding and alot depends on how well you interact with their comunity.  If the rather childish things i saw in rpb ceased with you moving on to another guild please let us know and show it.

Im gonna step in for this.

Sofija — Fri, 05/15/2009 - 02:46

Im gonna take up for Hex on this, simply because i was in both guilds as well. Red panda brigade had a bunch of failures in it. It was hard for a lot of people not to get frustrated when your sitting there wiping in kara and downing prince is like the best thing ever.  Shawn brought in a lot of way under geared people and never gave them anything to strive for as far as getting geared or any kind of motivation. Confrontational? Hell i was confrontational to a lot of people in that guild too because they did a lot of stupid stupid stuff.  Hex was not a contributing factor to the dismal atmosphere in RPB.

When me and hex where raiding in odyssey back in BC, he was our best healer bar none. The problem with odyssey is that when it got close to expansion time, we were just having waaay too much guild drama. And no, Hexlord was not a contributing factor by any means. 

"You seemed to be

Hexlord — Wed, 05/13/2009 - 17:30

"You seemed to be confrontational with other healers and arrogant about your rather dismal performace, and emo when things didnt go your way."

My skill as a paladin has improved since then. I was in mostly blues from heroics back then and was the top healer in there raids unless a paladin that out geared me attended the raid and he rarely showed up. I was emo? I didn't even have a mic until about a week before I left guild and never talked during the raids.  As far as raid chat goes; yeah I did complain but people would do the same mistakes week after week and people wouldn't follow the strategy even after the raid leader had explained it clearly. I complained because I wanted the guild to do better and it seemed like the guild leader and other officers didn't care. That guild consistently wiped on the first boss in Gruul's Lair.

"Your name sticks out as one of the people that contributed to the overall terrible guild atmosphere that i experienced there, im not sure if the negative things i noticed you contributing, were a product of that atmosphere or if thats who you are???"

People didn't show to raids and wouldn't let anyone know or show late and yeah I started to get tired of it. People back then would try to argue with me and yeah back then I did argue back.  I didn't start the problems but I did respond to them.

Who were you in Red Panda Brigade? How long were you in RPB? When did you join RPB? Did you ever talk to me in that guild or just seen me in a few raids and base that off of those assumptions you made?

What i take from you response

Aurleas — Wed, 05/13/2009 - 21:30

What i take from you response is that a large part of how I percieved you was due to the circumstance we were both placed in, i was in rpb for around 6 months when i was still fresh to wow and just starting to raid.  I did chat with you on occasion in guild chat i dont recall exact conversations except that most times they were far from pleasant.  I hold no ill towards you and i definetely understand how being in that guild could bring out some frustrations etc.

thanks for clearing that up for me i would like to run some heroics or something sometime to get to know you a little better.

 good luck with your app.

Hex is so far from emo

poisondonut — Wed, 05/13/2009 - 17:13

Hex is far from emo. I wonder if you might have him confused with someone else or if perhaps someone else was playing his account when you experienced this. I've known him for going on 2 years and I have never seen him be emo, arrogant or confrontational. hexlord is a pretty down to earth and quiet dude, I honestly dont know how you got this impression. I guess we will wait for his response.

Also, I was in rpb for like a week. it was a pretty terrible guild so anyone staying there for longer than that and not being frustrated is a miracle within itself.
