WoW Ranting

all good that ends with wow...?

oookay...
now it's been more then half year since i last posted here something, and when i did, i was all into playing my holy priest. (ah...good memories) but it was all holy till the point i was forced to look for a new guild, due to the old one dying out and actually being canceled and nicely erased from the guild list. and as always - new guild, new people, new situation. and surprisingly they had zero need for a healer, while shadow priest would be nicely apreciated...

but it went rather well and i managed to get used to shadow and start liking it and it actually felt really nice when month or two later after the switch he (priest) was finally rounding up with decent gear from Naxx and VoA, but here came the isue (as in isue for me)... while i was holy, it was all good and i actually got apreciated by doing what i had to do decently without any epic failures and bugging everyone with mana break after every minor pull. but here...it was all about DPS and stuff like 'hey priest...you're a priest so heal in between attacking...' (yes...i heard it at least twice a week when it came to daily HC or just HC farming).

i won't go ahead and say something like 'i LIKE had LIKE amazing DPSSS and my priest OWNed the place'... nope...he had roughly dps inbetween 1.7k to 2.2k, depending on buffs and mobs in HCs. and honestly after being a healer for ages it's just hard to live on when your main thing you need to keep an eye on now is the DPS meter, to avoid someone bugging the hell out of you about something you can't change much at the set moment.

anyways what i'm getting at is the fact that after being kinda pushed in the direction of dps (fc i could have said no, but it seemed better that way at the time, so i went along with it), it started to push me away from my priest, and now it was rather hard to catch up with healing gear, cuz most of the times the actual raid healers were taking their rights to claim the gear or tokens. and wel...all good that ends with wow was my priest who ended up being deleted sometime midsummer.

well i guess that's one bitchy priest less on wow, and me rounding up to understanding that a caster/healer loving me can't just live on only thinking about dps and mashing keys to just tap the meter instead of keeping people alive and having my share of fun when somebody overpulls or don't get the idea that hunters doesn't really tank ;D

anyways...thanks for reading those who did

    Hmm, Maybe what you should have said in reponse was, "Hey!  Eat in between your hits!"  Priests are soooo taken advantage of!  My favorite.. Your trying to heal the group - keeping an eye mostly on your tank.  The neighboring mage who contunually wispers to you (not in party or they would get reemed by the tank) "Hey heal me!" so they can convert your heals to their mana, instead of you keeping the tank alive.  Hmmm tank or mage.. tank or mage... party or mage.. Or people outside of your party wispering to you things like "Heal me Di_k!"

    I love my priest and did change her to full Shadow from Holy because leveling alone was difficult.  However, she is currently Disc. to try it out... I must say, I miss my Holy.

    But I must say what I did learn from a seasoned Healer.  If the party continually runs the mob into you so you can't heal - only to blame you for their death, or the tank doesn't control the mob.. time to hearth out!  There are just as many bad tanks/dps's out there as there are inexpirenced healers.

    Cheers
