I did Black Rock the other night and DPSed as a Disc Priest. While my DPS was only 2.5k, my Atonement helped keep the tank up and the druid healer was able to focus on healing everyone else. It was a flawless run with no downtime.

This was done with guildies, and it was a good execution of strategy. Maybe this is something that needs to be considered. If the job is too tough for 1 healer, why not bring 1.5 healers?



Regulars are fairly easy to heal to be completely honest. It's heroics where things get crazy. Incoming damage is too high to rely on your efficient heals alone and using anything but for any length of time causes you to oom. Unless the tank and dps avoid all of the avoidable damage healers get overwhelmed in a hurry.

Also, 2.5k dps is not going to be enough to complete some of the heroics because they are basically dps races and doing a quarter of what a dps needs to be doing to down bosses isn't going to cut it, regardless of the little bit of additional healing.

I don't like the smaller quest hubs and only having a few quests at a time...all of which are 2 feet away from the quest giver!

That I don't have time to play it right now.

That is my least favourite thing about this XPAC.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

Im level 84, with 70K+ hp on 4 mages, and one of the first quests into twilight whatever zone... and Im farming MUD off the ground ?


I like a lot of the new zones, but I just cant get over the whole perpetualtion of the bleh... farm 10 mob meats, and click on 6 sparkling do-dads.


give me an expansion where every single mob is elite, can really kick your butt... and you have to work for absolutely everything you do.

I hit 85 last night and got a look at my new mage food... pink birthday cakes? Now officially my least favorite part of the game.

I don't like how it feels like I'm done in one week and back to where I was before. Yes, I took time off from work. Yes I played a lot this week. So what? This is an MMO!

I think, Sprawl, is because Blizzard knows that leveling is just a small part of the game and I am guessing they will be focusing all content for level 85. For many, the game starts at max level as opposed to being the end of the game.

Currently in the MMO unemployment line.
Can I get $15/month for not playing them?
