World Of Warcraft Secrets

Posts Tagged ‘Healer’

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks then you should be fully aware of the big change coming in patch 2.3, +healing will now also give +33% of that healing back to the player in +damage. Certainly one of the most game changing buffs to ever be introduced though it seems to be somewhat down played compared to other potential changes.

This has been a long awaited change for many healers who have been complaining for ages that they were simply useless outside of raids. Without any damage gear they were confronted with no way to farm, quest, or really even PvP without the aid of another person or group of players.

Beyond the fact that healers should be able to grind at least semi-effectively, the changes to PvP and arena could be quite considerable. Now most healers are going to have anywhere from 1400-1800 healing in their PvP set, meaning 462-594 damage. Doesn’t sound like all that much, but take for example a standard 2345 setup (mage, warrior, holy priest, holy paladin, elemental shaman). The team has great success for one reason in particular, 2.5 healers. In addition, that team in a way now has an additional damage dealer via the holy priest’s shadow word: pain.

Though please don’t overestimate the change, a healer’s primary role in an arena is still going to be just that. Though the damage they have the potential to put out cannot be ignored, especially in the case of a 2.5 healer team, the “2345″ setup for example. I’m quite intrigued by the possibly of tri-talent specs popping up, as they take advantage of both healing and damage talents, adding additional versatility.

The shadow priest, Foxem, which plays on both my 3v3 and 5v5 team has already expressed interest in going back to holy as a tri-spec. Obviously his primary function would be as a dispeller and backup healer to our druid, though the ability to toss the extra DoT up and mind flay a target when it looks like we can secure a kill would be invaluable.

When you break it down to the most basic of levels this change will certainly alter the way in which a team secures a kill. All of the sudden a healer’s extra bit of damage right at the end might be the bit that gets the kill. Earth shock, shadow word: death, holy shock, and many other healer offensive spells will become true threats in the next few weeks.

How we play arena is about to change forever, and honestly, it’s a welcome change. It will allow talent specializations that were previously unrealistic to become viable. On top of the healer change, hunters are looking pretty solid. With so many buffs headed there way I’m interested to see how the class will respond as far as arena ratings go. There’s just so much coming in the next patch I simply cannot wait, new content, new gear, new arena season, it’s sure to be a blast!

The priest character is possibly one of the most useful types you can have on your wow account. With its combination of healing and buff spells, the priest is always a welcome ally. Of course, things aren’t always easy for the priest wow accounts. It really isn’t the best character for someone who wants to play alone, or solo. While it is always easy to find a welcome group, sometimes the life of a priest in World of Warcraft can seem like an endless chore. While everyone else is playing the hero and defeating dangerous beasts, the player with the priest on their wow account is left in the back, a safe distance away from anything hurtful, tapping on the keys that keep everyone else happily slaying monsters from the safety of their wow accounts. And not everyone is thankful for the help, either, blaming the priest for losses. It’s no wonder that not everyone wants to play a healer.

Still, there are some things that can be done to keep a priest a happy thing to play on your wow account. The simplest is merely to enjoy who you play with. Having a regular group is a large part of playing in a social game like World of Warcraft, and the players you game with can make it much better, or much worse. Playing with real life friends is one way to do this. Another is to avoid guilds or groups where the culture just doesn’t hit your playing style. If everyone’s helpful and easy to get along with, everyone will enjoy their wow accounts much more.

It goes with out saying, of course, that you should ask yourself whether a priest is really the character you want to play on your wow account. While some people do enjoy it, it’s not for everyone, and it depends on the type of character you want to see yourself as. If you’d prefer the rush of combat more than a more stoic route, being a priest might not be what you want to do. Wow accounts can have multiple characters, so you may want to test the player out first, to make sure it is something you’d enjoy playing.

Still, perhaps you are in a guild, or other group of players. Often, these groups are well organized, even regimented. More than one person has commented on those who use their wow accounts more like a second job than an entertaining game. In these groups, there may be a need for a priest, and it may be an assigned job. You may end up with a priest character suddenly stuck on your shoulders, and your wow account. At these times, assuming you accept what your guild has decided, the best thing to do is find an aspect of it that makes it interesting to you. You may be able to take on a role that lends itself to you, despite the limitations of the character. Perhaps you have a knack for remembering the locations in the game world; enjoy a craft like fishing, mining, or herblore. An aspect of the character that you really enjoy may make the rest of the character worthwhile, even if you wouldn’t normally choose to put a priest on your wow account.

Choosing the characters you play on your wow account can be an intensely personal choice. Every class and race has their idiosyncrasies, and not all of them are suited to everyone’s playing style. Still, World of Warcraft is an expansive game; 9 million people don’t have wow accounts for nothing. There is plenty of scope for adjusting a character to your preferences.
