My other spec is cat dps, but I have a feeling I'll be spending most of my time as a tree. I just wish they'd redo the tree skin soon!Ken Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02677984572855891290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-87104668976366224002010-01-04T17:32:18.938-05:002010-01-04T17:32:18.938-05:00Strangely enough, I prefer Paladin to Druid healin...Strangely enough, I prefer Paladin to Druid healing. The mobility is nice, but I miss the brute-force POWER of the Paladin. It's exactly like playing a Mage - those big numbers can be addicting (especially when you are chaining them).<br /><br />That said, I dropped my Prot spec with not-a-little sadness. I love tanking, and it's even a better gearset than my Ret set (well, until getting 3 or 4 upgrades in HToC25 in the last two weeks). But the raid doesn't NEED another tank and we do NEED another DPS.<br /><br />So when I queue for my daily Frost emblems, I do so as Heal / DPS. I get assigned to heal. And if the heroic is anything EXCEPT Reflection, I heal it in Retribution spec and holy gear. I pull a steady 600-800 DPS and use Art of War to keep the tank alive. Oh, and NEVER run out of mana thanks to the massive mana return Ret gets.<br /><br />One day I'll go REALLY crazy and heal a heroic in Ret gear and ret spec. I'm just afraid my 7k mana pool isn't up to that task. :)Dorgolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936803721440329897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-70918232600087639892010-01-04T16:50:14.195-05:002010-01-04T16:50:14.195-05:00I also prefer druid healing, having healed as a pa...I also prefer druid healing, having healed as a paladin also. Something about it just more fun.<br /><br />I'm tempted, a little, to level an alt in a few months, once Gravity's all sorted out, and it'd be a healer. The new LFD whilst levelling, plus BGs giving experience, should make for an enjoyable healer-levelling trip.<br /><br />That said, with Cataclysm, I wouldn't want to miss any of that new/revised content.Gravityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058246857638123702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-34190459848144679592010-01-04T16:23:29.818-05:002010-01-04T16:23:29.818-05:00I actually got assigned to DPS one time while quei...I actually got assigned to DPS one time while queing up as a healer or tank.

There will be messes, people (bosses/trash mobs) will get pissed. Lady RNG is a cruel being...it's how the world (of warcraft) turns. I often let a mage die in PuGs, not necessarily to be mean but more because their recklessness deserves its own punishment. They have iceblock, invisibility and they can just plan ol' stopcast. Don't feel bad for Donk, I am sure he is used to it. =)<br /><br />Thanks for the healing post. I am also leveling an alt, my paladin hit 78 yesterday. I have been following your blog for a while and really enjoy and appreciate all of your insight and shared knowledge. I also read Paladin Schmaladin (grats, btw) for healing/tanking tips. I have leveled as prot since 70(?), well, at whichever level I learned Divine Plea. I am a healer at heart but love to tank on my warrior when the opportunity is there. So I figured a paladin would be perfect for me. ("You could have been a druid!" I know...but I like plate, I like a shield and I think it's fun to worry about a defense cap.) I offspec'd as Holy when I hit 40 just to stay up with the abilities and the synergy of the talents/skills but rarely use them. I will have to farm my badges in PuGs so it's good to know that when I queue as tank or healer that I will get tank, every. single. time.<br /><br />I enjoyed the healer post.

After healing on my 65 shammy I definitely miss some things that pally healing gives, such as Beacon. <br />I think I'm going to go the same route though and leave my pally as my sole tank, hunter as my DPS and a shammy as my healer. To be able to seperate them out that way to me just makes life easier and then you don't have to try to gear one toon twice.CyphirXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-65868718383422777012010-01-04T14:07:04.389-05:002010-01-04T14:07:04.389-05:00I'm also leveling a Druid and find healing on ...I'm also leveling a Druid and find healing on him better and worse than when I was healing on my Paladin and now healing on my Shaman. I like the mobility of the Druid, but the HoTs scare me cause I like to see topped off health bars.<br /><br />Also, I was only healing BRD (on level) so that might be part of it...Crofehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06541418467095439951noreply@blogger.com
