Priests are the only class who get the option of two working healing trees. (As an aside, get the glyph of guardian spirit as soon as you have the ability. It's amazing.)<br /><br />You might already be reading Tamarind's blog, but go there for a really long-winded, brilliant and insightful post on the whole holy vs disco issue. http://www.righteousorbs.com/?p=1343#commentsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-49119512834858831732010-02-15T20:51:51.674-06:002010-02-15T20:51:51.674-06:00Aw shucks, I took Shannara's advice now and sp...Aw shucks, I took Shannara's advice now and specced Holy. Disc still remains an attractive option. I might give it a try.Darth Solohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110818057322485070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-41911045555151661322010-02-14T20:32:08.895-06:002010-02-14T20:32:08.895-06:00Actually, if I might respectfully disagree... I do...Actually, if I might respectfully disagree... I do have a 80 disco priest as my main and if I had to level her again, I'd go the bubble way. Bosses in levelling dungeon don't dish out so much damage that they are impossible to heal through. Hell, back in the days, shadow priests were routinely healing instances and surviving the experience.<br /><br />Do take pain suppression... It's your ultimate Oh shit button when you feel yourself incapable of healing the tank back to full before he gets hit again. 40% less damage will save him. You also want to keep power infusion on the dps to help with kill shit faster. Disco priests greatly remind me of holy paladins, with their hands and blessing to save and help party members, but they at least always have a group heal. <br /><br />Also, ditch divine fury, you never use greater heal as a disco priest unless there's an emergency. It's bubble, keep penance on cooldown, use flash heal if there's still damage. <br /><br />Holy can deal better with aoe damage and that is their strength. However, disc priests won't die because a mob looked at their crosseyed. Their shield is much, much stronger. You will need it with inexperienced tanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-41574735538730392902010-02-13T18:33:48.186-06:002010-02-13T18:33:48.186-06:00@Shannara well darn it!

As I write this I'm very close to 40 and now you've made me go back to the drawing board. Thanks for ruining it for me! Just kidding! Thanks for the tips, now I'll see what my options are, though I might still try a Disc spec just to see if I like it.Darth Solohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110818057322485070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-73281642845069039082010-02-13T15:51:50.485-06:002010-02-13T15:51:50.485-06:00I have a lv80 holy and disc priest.

I have found that disc priests are great for damage preventing, but not so well at damage healing.<br /><br />In other words, they make great main tank (only) "healers" as they prevent most of the damage, and what little damage that does come though are with in the healing capabilities of a disc priest.<br /><br />You will find as you level up that disc priests SUCK at healing in some (say 40%) 5-mans. This is due to the massive amount of damage bosses pump out, discs just cannot keep up.<br /><br />Disc does make an awesome PVP spec though .. :)<br /><br />Holy is all around simply the most diverse healing tree there is in the game. They can heal up massive damage, they can even prevent some damage :) <br /><br />If you want to get into healing, use the healing tree (holy), if you want to be a tank only healer or pvp healer, go disc :)Shannarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05700293580839115132noreply@blogger.com
