So I spec'd Holy. Full out holy down to, um, well as much of that Int -> Healing talent I can get atm. Here's some rambling thoughts of my experience so far.

Killing is definitely slower. Though, I kinda find there's less downtime. Don't have to sit and drink as much. Also taking on mobs many levels above me seems a bit more dangerous.

I also went through a ZF run. Hmm at this level I gotta say healing is boring. lol People aren't taking damage fast enough and I can heal 1/2 - 1/3 of their health in one go when needed. I found myself alt-tabbing a lot during this run. lol

So with this spec I got this new toy Divine Favor. Not sure when to use it though. I tried a few times with my group but letting them go to low makes em nervous. They always pop their own heal before I get my big fat crit on em wasting it. lol

Oh well level 47 atm!

So I got into an Uldaman group and had to be the healer.   It was...  less painful than I would've thought.  lol   With me being prot spec, only having a mish mash of crappy "healer" gear, and having no real experience before with healing, I fully expected to be the cause of many wipes.  lol

At first it was suprisingly boring.  lol  I'd stand around waiting for the tank to get hit enough before I'd cast my 800ish max rank holy light heal on him (lvl 39 arms warrior).    Maybe it was just Uldaman nowadays.   Another suprising thing was that I rarely ran out of mana.   Only really ran out when I had to branch out and heal the dps and stuff.  

So overall, no wipes, tank only died once, cause I started slow then some mobs stunned me.  Anyways, some random cliff notes:

Heh well I kinda lost track in the old post and with 2.4 out now I will be distracted since primary focus is kinda back on dailies with the rogue. So that would skew the days against levelling this toon. So just decided to make random blurbs whenever.

So I started to quest in the Arathi Highlands, and the Horde there just wanna kill me. Well, they tried. lol

Encounter 1 - So I was killing trolls for the quest, mage starts fireballing me. I focus on him, whack him a few times with mobs still on me. He made the mistake of aoe'ing. So I bubbled and they went for him. But he ran away while I chased and we eventually lost the mobs. So back to 1 on 1. Well he couldn't kill me, I'd heal through his attacks. I rarely was able to get close to hit him w/o BoF up. Eventually he evocated, gave me enough time to drink too. He'd try to kite me into horde friendly mobs too. Finally we both kinda sat down and drank again. By now he's given up. lol Starts waving at me, greeting hello, etc. Then we went our seperate ways.

Encounter 2 - This time 2 mages spotted me and wanted me dead. I ran through a shitload of mobs, threw a concecrate then gauded them into aoe'ing. lol I bubble, they all went for them and slaughtered them, while I watched and healed myself, then finished off the mobs for my quest after their "help". lol

Anyways, I hit 40 tonight. Got that free mount. Well I gotta say, I don't really like how the female Draenei looks on a horse. Kinda has this wide stiff spread eagle thing going. Heh, so I went and got myself a purple elekk. Definitely fits the model more since the thing is wider.

YAY
