Tier and Such... Ramblings

Recommended Posts

Have you lost that Loving Feeling?

How is 6.1 treating you and your Tier bonuses?

As Holy, that 2pc is feeling really nice. As predicted by most of the world wide interwebz, it crushed any attempt the 20% buff to Clarity of Purpose had to be a starter in our lineup as we work our way through Blackrock Foundry. 4pc Holy has its limited place on fights like Gruul and Kromog for PoH, otherwise it is seeing a jump in hasted Heal on other encounters. All in all, I would have rather seen Clarity of Purpose be relevant but the gap is slowly closing on Discipline. Enough for the narrow minded Raid Leaders' Red-Headed Step-Healer, let’s see how your older, wiser, stronger sibling is doing.

Now Discipline, how can I put a positive spin on this. Even with the 10% nerf implemented to PWS, it is still worth it to cut short the 2pc bonus mid channel, if will overheal, and cast that new, weaker, PWS! Does that sell you?! Let me try again. The Discipline 4pc will reduce the cost of our old SoO favorite, outside of /AFK-Atonement, ..Spirit Shell. Prayer of Healing does so well combined with Empowered Archangel, you couldn't wait to see your old friend and hope its reruns would play on in perpetuity in your rotation. Be honest, did you approach Gruul with renewed vigor like I did. Placing that point into Spirit Shell with a sense of pride or even a Rite of Passage for Discipline to take it back, place it in your arsenal, and Just Win.

"Please wipe, please wipe", I whispered. I didn't line up Archangel after the 3rd tank swap and I spent the next 2 Inferno slices holding AA to get back in sync, that had to be it. OK, here we go, second chance. NO, I don't know how the tank died.

Well, Gruul died, so did Kromog, and the rest of the bosses we thought Spirit Shell would have a chance on. Along with their deaths, so died Discipline's dreams of adding another button to our PWS rotation this patch. Swap back to your Mythic Highmaul gear or Blackrock Foundry Cache loot; sit all but 2 of your 5 tier pieces. Blizzard be damned if we are giving up the 2pc though! You never know how many times during trash your tanks will need the full channel of Penance, and think of all the time/mana your saving building Evangelism. Yea, you show those tier pieces who’s boss of our button mashing and that coveted spot in your Equipment Manager “Raid.”

"Anyone have a Tome to give me? I need Power Infusion back. Maverick told me Spirit Shell has lost that loving feeling, it’s Gone, Gone, Gone...."

Remember, Holy got the PWS nerf too, so there's that. And I wouldn't say Discipline would be the older, as it used to be a lost puppy trying to find its place in the world :)

 

I feel the pain of not having talent choices, and it is very undesirable.

      Welcome Adventurers! The time has come upon us, FINALLY! The moment in Classic WoW history us diehard, loyal WoW nerds have all been waiting for. WRATH CLASSIC! Arthas Did Nothing Wrong (ADNW) has just begun recruiting (For WotLK Classic) hard-core, casual, rp, pvp, pve, raiders, anything you can think of, you are welcomed here. Although our main focus in ADNW will be progressive raiding, 10 and 25 man and pvp content, we look to have someone for just about anything. Currently we are recruiting for our CORE 10M team composed entirely of irl / internet homies. We are in need of just 1 HEALER (Highly prefer a disc priest with a shadow off spec) and another DPS. Preferably lock or Shadow priest. We are looking to fill our B 10m team entirely, so we can pool together for 25 man’s when it comes time to crush 25m. This guild was founded by a group of tight nit friends recently, who have been around since TBC. WOTLK was our turning point in WoW, and we CANNOT wait to get another crack at this and MAKE IT RIGHT. Come join the adventure of a chill environment full of helpful hands and knowledge. Feel free to reach out to me Via Discord: Daevilmonkiexp#9239 OR Bnet: Daevilmonkie#1280 just let me know you are interested in the guild and we can have a convo! ARTHAS DID NOTHING WRONG!

      To all who read,
      I am a WoW player and have been since vanilla, I’ve played several variances of classes through the expansions and this round settled with shadow priest which I ran through the majority of Legion and BfA. I have never written a guide or forum post before but decided I wanted to share my thoughts and opinions and see how other players in the same position feel as well.

      I would like to ask people to respect everyone’s opinion as this forum topic will be a place for unusual class builds, talent choices, and stat priorities. Everyone plays the game for fun and should be able to build a toon that is effective utilizing a multi style approach. I do believe that the simulators are awesome for checking gear and choices when it comes to specific cases perhaps PvP. That being said though, I feel as though sims are not really a good indicator of a talent choice or gear piece’s level of effectiveness. I am by no means a tremendously good player, probably average to be honest, but ask any top tier player and they will tell you very rarely does a pull go “perfect” for their class. these simulations then are only showing if something goes perfect, so I thought why not build a class around what “actually” happens versus the “perfect pull”, so that is what I did.
      I would love to hear what other players thoughts on the matter are and list what your individual stat priorities are and maybe discuss why!
      mine are as follows;
      1.) Mastery = Versatility
        (both of these boost damage output but versatility is not limited by number of DoTs so it helps if you are struggling to keep skills on targets.)
      2.) Haste (this increases the amount of ticks per cast, when paired with high Vers and mastery you deal large DoT damage which is great if you’re in a high movement fight.)
      3.) Critical
       This for many reasons is great. First, shadowy app procs, and secondly just plain damage bumps. Lastly, and arguably most important though is the shadow word death damage boost. When we execute (comparing to warrior skill) it deals increased damage naturally to targets below 20% health I believe. When you pair this with high mastery Vers and a decent crit chance you can execute for incredibly high amounts of damage to help that end fight dps chart!
