At a slower pace you would have been fine.<BR/><BR/>PvP is definitly fast paced, it may help you develop that awareness, but I think more beneficial would be to find a group doing speed runs and go wtih them. You'll get better when you're able to go at their pace.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742493941804574343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-28195499043296295222008-04-25T04:30:00.000-07:002008-04-25T04:30:00.000-07:00RE. the macros that were posted a few lines up ->/...RE. the macros that were posted a few lines up -><BR/><BR/>/assist Gurtogg Bloodboil<BR/>/cast Flash of Light<BR/><BR/>/assist Gurtogg Bloodboil<BR/>/cast Holy Light<BR/><BR/>Change 'm to <BR/><BR/>/cast [target=targettarget] flash of light<BR/><BR/>and <BR/><BR/>/cast [target=targettarget] Holy Light<BR/><BR/>Makes them viable for e.g. Solarian, or spamming whoever gets frozen during the Rage Winterchill fight.

You're an intelligent theory crafter and an articulate individual. <BR/><BR/>Environmental awareness and good instincts are developed via experience and coaching. <BR/><BR/>There have been some great suggestions about upgrades you can work for. I'm interested in seeing if you are as motivated to better yourself as you are to understanding the mechanics of healing in wow.<BR/><BR/>If you are properly motivated, I believe I can help you grow in experience, gear and maybe even some understanding of how to be part of a successful healing <I>team</I>. I'd encourage you to take a look at our website(http://thedauntless.guildlaunch.com). In addition, you may wish to take a look at my blog to give yourself an understanding of how I think as a leader. If you like what you see contact me and we can talk about possibilities.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255658777699579804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-57781639747363293812008-04-23T15:01:00.000-07:002008-04-23T15:01:00.000-07:00Didn't spend much time checking out the WWS but on...Didn't spend much time checking out the WWS but one thing did stand out for me:<BR/><BR/>from your third WWS link I saw this<BR/><BR/>Mana Pot Usage:<BR/>T6 Pally: 1<BR/>Coriel: 2<BR/>PvP Pally: 9<BR/><BR/>I checked out your gear and agree with what Mathias said on your gear. I also think you should try to run ZA every reset, belt, trinket and shield from there are decent upgrades for you. Your pirority badge upgrades should probably be the Mace and ring unless you can somehow get into someone's Vashj/Kael kills for an Band of Eternity. Big thing I see is you need more Crit for sure.<BR/><BR/>If you somehow do get into a BT farming guild its not unheard of to get 4/8 T6 in 2-4 Weeks so keep that in mind when upgrading any of the "old" T6 Slots.<BR/><BR/>Few Gear comments I like to add:<BR/>Helm: While your helm isnt too bad most paladins like helms with a Meta socket to take advanatge of an IED if you look at the WWS report over the course of one night it generated 36-38k of mana for the other two pallies in the raid.<BR/><BR/>Neck: neck isnt bad but I would say that the ZA haste, PvP Neck, or SSO neck would be sure upgrades.<BR/><BR/>Shield: I started BT with that shield but these days it seems every Shaman or Paladin has the ZA shield or better these days.<BR/><BR/>Gloves: Your Gloves arent bad.... but I know a lot of Paladins who highly rate the season 3 PvP gloves for extra crit on FoL, Not sure how much you use FoL to justify getting them but felt like it was worth mentioning.<BR/><BR/>Belt: Your belt isnt bad its actually pretty decent belt and I known some ppl to wore it for a long time in BT/MH, Would consider resocketing it for Crit, but ideally I would run ZA for hope of Stromgarde's Hope dropping but probably wouldnt spend badges to try to upagrde it.<BR/><BR/>Pants: Get anything Itemization on T4 Holy Pants sucks<BR/><BR/>Libram: If you don't have a libram of mending get it, a lot of paladin's libram swap it in every few HL casts to get the buff up then swap to a different libram. <BR/><BR/>Trinket - Run ZA for tome of Diabolic Remedey. Also if your willing to Drop mining and level up Alchemy the Upgraded Alchemist Stone is theorycrafted out to be the best healing trinket in the game by far if you chain use Mana Pots. I know of a lot of endgame Paladins who redid professions for it when 2.4 came out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-67733936988643614512008-04-23T12:28:00.000-07:002008-04-23T12:28:00.000-07:00I did notice that the amount healed was very littl...I did notice that the amount healed was very little compared to the top 3, but your overheal was very high. <BR/><BR/>Were you on Raid healing and they were assigned to more specific targets?<BR/><BR/>Do they use a mod like visualheal to cut down on cross/overhealing? Its the one I've used and the only one with which I'm familiar. If the mods you use do that, then I apologize.Ashunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08219316550952265454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-38629171874496780482008-04-23T12:06:00.000-07:002008-04-23T12:06:00.000-07:00I have to agree with Mathias a bit, in that you ca...I have to agree with Mathias a bit, in that you can improve your gear. My guild is in T4 and ZA and we have several healers with over 2000 +healing. Badge gear makes that so easy. Some of the Arena healing gear is great too, especially a good healing mace.<BR/><BR/>If you really want to see T6 right now, good luck with your next application! Otherwise, maybe you would have more fun going with a less-progressed guild that will accept you as Ret?<BR/><BR/>Fedaykin98Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-91879680500644225762008-04-23T06:51:00.000-07:002008-04-23T06:51:00.000-07:00for bloodboil, don't use your normal casting butto...for bloodboil, don't use your normal casting buttons.

There are ...I just had a look at your healing gear. There are a few "relatively easy to get" upgrades you should consider.<BR/>You asked, if you should do more Heroics - that is one thing you really should. Especially Magister's Terrace.<BR/><BR/>There are 2 upgrades directly related with MrT/Shattered Sun. <BR/>- The Healing Trinket from Heroic MrT<BR/>- The Exalted Healing Necklace (which is very good with the Aldor proc you will get and a clear upgrade over your Kara Neck)<BR/><BR/>Then you should consider to get some of the new badge rewards. You can use all of the Plate gear and the universal Healing Items.<BR/>- First big upgrade is the Healing Mace, of course. Dont use anything with +Spirit on it (Prince Mace...), thats wasted Stat Points.<BR/>- The Healing Ring (again, you use a Ring with +Spirit - thats a no-go)<BR/>- The Plate Healing Belt (nice amount of +spellcrit) <BR/>- The Healing Legplates (not a such great item, but an upgrade to your T4 non the less)<BR/>- The Healing Breastplate (great amount of +spellcrit, but you will loose quite a lot mp5 from your ZA piece, so i would maybe skip this one)<BR/><BR/>The +mp5 from the MrT Trinket could make up for the loss of mp5 on your gear, if you try to get more +spellcrit items.<BR/>Of course thats a LOT of badges, but i think if you want to apply to a BT/MH farming guild, you really need to work on your gear.<BR/>As for Heroic MrT - i really dont like this instance as a Healadin, so i usually run it as Tank. You might want to consider doing the same ;)Mathiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633413881940258656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-46856411592152394312008-04-23T04:06:00.000-07:002008-04-23T04:06:00.000-07:00Everyone who gets the Gorefiend Contructs the firs...Everyone who gets the Gorefiend Contructs the first time will most probably wipe the raid, thats just bad luck. You could have used the Gorefiend Flash Simulator to get some training with the spell rotation you have to use, though. If you died in the wrong spot, thats either a sign of disorientation (can happen the first time you are in a bosses room, but the 2nd time there is no excuse) or they did not show you the place explicitly.<BR/>As for Archimonde, its about the same. It takes a few tries for everyone to understand how the Doomfire works. And even very experienced people can wipe the raid on this encounter, if there is only a little error in their movement.<BR/>These two encounters are the ones where any new person can wipe the raid and i would not hold it against them the first time. But if the error happens again, i would say there is a problem.<BR/><BR/>I also looked at your WWS. I also think you did cast too few spells. Maybe you were afraid of overhealing, which is a bad thing to do. You actually had a quite large amount of overheal, but i would not worry about it if you would be en par with the other Pallys effective heal wise. Here is probably the part where the gear gap kicks in and the experienced healers did heal more proactively because they knew where to expect how much incoming damage.<BR/><BR/>I think you should try to apply to another guild who is currently working on MH/BT, best would be something like 4/5 MH and 5/9 BT - this should fit in with your gear level and experience - you will probably perform much better the next time you are in MH/BT, because now you know the encounters a little bit better.Mathiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633413881940258656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-34425150676655849212008-04-22T23:55:00.000-07:002008-04-22T23:55:00.000-07:00Not any good at WWS sheets.

A bit like scoring for the opposing team in soccer. <BR/><BR/>From my raid experience. Low performance was often tolerated, wiping the raid was never.DaddyGamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185458688650207753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-87040645753022564002008-04-22T23:07:00.000-07:002008-04-22T23:07:00.000-07:00by no means am I an expert on paladins, but after ...by no means am I an expert on paladins, but after looking at the reports a little bit, one problem may be that you weren't casting enough spells.<BR/><BR/>http://wowwebstats.com/dztw4ohafmidc?c=pal<BR/><BR/>This is a breakdown of the Paladins on Thursday's run. Comparing you to Castalis, while you two pretty much casted the same proportion of FoL/HL, Castalis got off a good deal more casts than you.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if that was a function of healing assignments, lag, being new to the fight, avoiding overheals or what, but it would result in a lot more healing for Castalis than you.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure others will have other recommendations, but the thing I saw crop up from time to time is others getting more heals off than you.<BR/><BR/>As well, if you did end up wiping the raid, that's what's going to stand out in the minds of the people evaluating you, whether it's fair or not. That's too bad.<BR/><BR/>(sorry, deleted to add that last paragraph)Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041659732901806510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-30081009357014313112008-04-22T23:05:00.000-07:002008-04-22T23:05:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041659732901806510noreply@blogger.com
