Wednesday, June 20, 2012. Discipline Priests- How Do They Work? The old line (well, an. Old line [well, a line I. Used] ) in Wrath was that discipline priests don't heal, they shield. After all, holy paladins were better at tank healing. Restoration druids and holy priests were better at raid healing. Restoration shamans could swing between both and. Time for the line to change? Discipline priests don't shield, they DPS. I mean, yes, the revolution got underway in Cataclysm, what with Evangelism. But, he...

Tuesday, September 11, 2012. Shadow And The Constraint Model Of DPS. That was probably as clear a winter's night in Seattle (Seattle is perpetually overcast and misting/raining during all seasons except a couple of months in summer, but especially winter) so let me explain what I mean by using the shadow spec as an example. What Are The "Core" Abilities Anyway? Here are the abilities that will make up the vast majority of shadow DPS:. Mousing over those abilities, you can see some basic constraints, like...

Holy Word: Delicious: Return to Tumbleweed Junction
http://holyworddelicious.blogspot.com/2014/04/return-to-tumbleweed-junction.html
Monday, April 21, 2014. Return to Tumbleweed Junction. I wasn't among the people getting burned out. I've rarely found raiding current content less enjoyable over time. The few times that I have, it's been due to social reasons rather than the raiding itself. As an ancient Chinese philosopher *. Once wrote: "Raiding instances is easy; humans, is what's hard.". I can't remember the name of the philosopher, but he wrote it in English. I dunno, they certainly have a sound. Is the sun hot? This post is not f...

Holy Word: Delicious: Spirit and the Prevalence of Magical Thinking
http://holyworddelicious.blogspot.com/2013/06/spirit-and-prevalence-of-magical.html
Thursday, June 13, 2013. Spirit and the Prevalence of Magical Thinking. Okay, back to writing about healing (heck, back to writing anything about anything). I emphasized that second part because it seems to get lost in many/most/all healer discussions about spirit. Spirit has become a very mystical *. Concept in the healer world, for reasons that aren't entirely clear in this increasingly mathed-out game. Now, I realize that asking "How much should I have? In a public forum is always going to be a meanin...

Holy Word: Delicious: Discipline Tuning: The NeverEnding Story
http://holyworddelicious.blogspot.com/2014/09/discipline-tuning-neverending-story.html
Monday, September 1, 2014. Discipline Tuning: The NeverEnding Story. You may have heard that there's an expansion in the works for Blizzard's flagship franchise, the World of Warcraft. Yessiree, they're doing another expansion, complete with. And a whole wave of class modifications and tuning. Tuning is a subject near and dear to the hearts of discipline priests because discipline is a spec (the only spec? Let's check the tape, shall we? How did Mists of Pandaria treat discipline? Except that as time wen...

Friday, January 11, 2013. Do Priests Need Mind Spike In Their Spellbooks? I suppose this blog was in danger of becoming abandonware, considering my last post was before Mists of Pandaria. Launched. It wasn't that I didn't want to write, nor was it that I wasn't enjoying World of Warcraft: Mists of Panadria. Nor was it even that I didn't have time. And even a few progression fights. I consider it important and even necessary to be on top of my shadow game.). When it was added to the class, the rationale f...

Friday, June 27, 2014. Set Your Hearthstone To Fun! Seriously, that's the title of the post and I'm non-ironically sticking with it. Back a few years ago, I suggested that I would soon be writing a post about Hearthstone. That soon has come and it is today. So let's get to it! What Are Your Resources? The most obvious resource you have with which to do things is mana. There are a couple of other less-obvious resources that you need to be aware of, though, and a couple of related concepts that're not prec...

Saturday, July 21, 2012. Chakra: The Worst Clever Idea Blizzard Ever Had. Frequent readers probably realize that I play a priest as my main character. Most of my priesting life has been as discipline, but I've been playing a fair amount of holy since patch 4.3 dropped (I also flirted with it off and on in Wrath, but that experience isn't going to be relevant to this post) and the most iconic element of holy priest play (for the priest herself, anyway) is Chakra. Problem creates the original problem.
