In 2 weeks alone we’ve see so many tweaks & nerfs, until we actually get to a live, level 85 end game and can experience it, I’m going to refrain from comment.

I really don’t mind being a tank healer as disc – I’ve pretty much done it most of this expansion. But all I can do is speculate on roles, and I hate to do that. Obviously, we’ll be pretty vocal when we get to end game, but I’m not going to get excited. Yet.

Holy Paladins are killing everyone with their AoE and single target healing.

It’s so funny because on the healing forums there are so many paladins complaining….it worked though, they keep getting buffed and they are like healing God’s again in Cataclysm. Most of the raids don’t even have a disc priest in them, and if they do, it appears to be as a tank healer.

What are your thoughts?

Don’t worry too much about the vengeance issue, despite some very vocal tanks in the tanking and healing wow forums, it looks like it is not the HUGE issue these guys were making it out to be. Yes, while our shields do appear to slow down the stacking of Vengeance it only really does so to a small degree. The general consensus of my tanks is that it’s to a huge deal but I will wait to shield them for a second or two regardless.

I found a blue post from GC and it appears to be a bug anyway. Our shields are not supposed to affect Vengeance.

Apparently we all had the 30% ICC buff wether we were in ICC or not.

The overall values were intended to be lower, but the ICC buff was not calculating our shields correctly. Icc is clear for us, and I can’t try a ten man now, so I’m not sure if it’s fixed. Atonement has been fixed, thank god. And I can’t confirm, but does it seem like it hits the lowest health target?

I’m at a toss up on Mastery for H LK. It seemed that the mastery addition would have been useful for the infest, but that was with the incorrect buff translation. Point for point, reforging for haste would be more beneficial if you are not doing H LK. Unless all you’re doing is shield spamming, but now’s the time to break that habit. I’ll have a Haste And You for Disc post next week.

@Aliahna
No, I haven’t heard anything. I’ve been sort of laid up all week being sick and pathetic. I’ll definitely look into it for you and get back to you.

Mine appear to have gone down quite a bit and I have actually reforged for more mastery.

Apparently it’s becoming quite a hot topic on the tanking and healing forums.
