Many Priests advocate using the 28/33 build. Heck, my priest has the exact same build. But if all of your Priests have Improved Divine Spirit, then doesn’t that kind of render that spec pointless? You may as well change it up and vary it up some. I don’t think you really need 4 Priests with … [Read more of this article]

Optimize Your Raiding Time
First off, some benchmarks are in order after reading Kirk’s ideal stat requirements for holy priests, I must respectfully disagree. Mind you, my guild is 3/6 SSC with Mag and VR on farm. Shade of Aran has a Poly/Pyro combination that will blast players for about 7k damage. While he is correct that there is … [Read more of this article]
Play of the Week
What’s one of the biggest thrills you get from playing WoW? Doing a five-man quest with two players. Doc and I wanted to wrap up the Ashtongue quest series which culminated in you killing a mounted Orc on a Netherdrake. Oh it was a glorious battle indeed. Wave after wave of Shadowmoon Orcs rushed against … [Read more of this article]
Matt’s on Curse, and PvP Zones: The Go...
I’ve recently started blogging over on Curse about a week or two ago to help boost my traffic and viewership. Boy, all I can see is that it works. If you check out Curse, you’ll see my name mentioned on the front page (unless they’ve loaded up on news that it goes down). I’ve teamed … [Read more of this article]
Gearing Your Fresh 70 Holy Priest: My Recomm...
As Holy Priests, the main stats we are concerned with are +healing, mana per five, intellect, spirit, and stamina (yes, stamina is up there since we can’t heal if we’re dead). I’ve compiled a list here of the best possible pre-raiding gear you can acquire before venturing into Karazhan. I will also list your gem … [Read more of this article]

Shamans and You
Sorry guys, I had a 12 hour double shift on Saturday which reduced any thought of me writing. I’ll make up for it with a double header today. I’ve written virtually nothing about my Restoration Shaman. Let’s change that shall we? As a Restoration Shaman, you are nothing but a support class. You’re not expected … [Read more of this article]
Priest Efficiency vs Overall Success
There appear to be two schools of thought when it comes to Priests and raiding. Old School: Mana efficiency, conservation, rhythms. New School: Doing whatever it takes to keep the damn tank alive even if it means going OOM (Out of mana). Back during the Pre-BC raids where there 40 people (25 skilled players and … [Read more of this article]
