yes, that would be better approach ;p

although, it should be also set "improved_scorch=0" to really simulate this situation.

Ah, no wonder I couldn't find any discussion on it, I was looking in the wrong thread. Thanks.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback, I will post again after some attempts with 5-6 and 7 men.

Kaerellen · 06/10/09, 1:45 PM

Thanks for all the IC advice. I've got a lot of options to try and wheedle my raid leader into accepting.

Yea it would be great if you could bind a button to that frame but then again mmmmeeeehhhh thats why I hated my DK, 1 button dps got boring

I have the memory leak issue as well, so I stopped using the addon a while ago.

It would be horrible if you could bind a button to the frame, because then Blizzard would have to change something to not allow such an action. If you want a one button binding, the only choice is to use /castrandom abilityx, abilityz, etc.

Note, DKs are not a 1 button class. Unholy is close with glyph of SS, but due to RNG you will have to cast diseases sometime, and always have to use 2x Bloodstrike/Pestil every 2 cycles.

I have been messing about with a couple of hybrid builds, and i have found that my current build The World of Warcraft Armory seem to be coming up trumps, but i cant fgiure why? I rarely have a total CD my DPS seems to be higher thant it ever has been, but goes against everything i have learnt from this site.

I am waiting to try on xt or patch to post stats but i just wondered if any 1 could pinpoint why and i would post a WWS from a target dummy test but i am at work atm.

You are kidding, right? This thread is not meant for gear advise for a char thats not even 80. It's only for discussion about EnhSim!

Doing what is best in theory, is not always best in practice. It assumes too much. You are assuming my other healers are fast enough, you are a assuming the raid has a good balance of classes/gear/skill, you are assuming my raiders are taking minimal aoe damage, you are assuming that I can't pop one or two gHT and continue hotting up the raid, etc etc etc.

Not to mention constantly spamming RJ/WG would probably bore me to death. I need to use at least a couple more heals or my ADD kicks in and I wander off.

Tell my other healers to stop failing and proceed to use nourish once.

Essentially people are splitting hairs over which tool to use. If I follow your suggestion, it's neither. I guess I could glyph WG/RJ/SM and call it a day. I'd top more charts, but that would cripple me in emergency situations. Your bias comes from your BiS gear and Hard Mode raid guild. My guild isn't doing heroic hard modes yet.

ehhh... hardly say it's bis.

Thanks, just what i wanted to hear.

You don't need to full heal a non-tank...you just need to get them out of the danger zone so the rejuvs, chains, and CoH can get them back to full. You're trying to do too many roles with your character, when there are 5 other healers that can support you.

They don't bring me because I heal like a paladin. They bring me because I level off raid and tank dmg and heal like a druid. If my guild needs a Flash heal spammer they can bring a priest or pally.

This is the point I was trying to make, but couldn't throw it in words.
