Good day to you, Elitist Jerks!
First of all I apologize if this is not the appropriate section for my questions, it mostly revolves around PvP, but I suppose you could cross it with public discussion and class theory crafting, moving on though I can actually start the post.
I have finally taken the time to create an account on these forums which I have been lurking on now for a long time, my main character is Nexi, a rogue on the Darksorrow EU server, which you could find out from my profile anyway, I come to you today though with questions on another class, the priest.
After a while of playing my rogue in arenas with my friends, both a warlock and a hunter I decided I would be much more useful and effective as a healer, paladin’s just didn’t feel ‘right’ for me, and I don’t like the idea of having a feral druid.
I’ve been hungry for damage for so long on my rogue, and satisfied myself, now I am going to fulfill another role on my priest, most seem to want to run as shadow, although I want to play as a full support healer, I don’t particularly care about damage or the like, since I rarely play solo and if I ever have money troubles I have my Rogue to grind for me.
However… after the short introduction I come to the main point now, I have no idea what-so-ever what I should look for in terms of gear, gems, talents and so on. I am not level 70 yet on my priest, far from it, I’m going to be shadow until 70 and then respec to fulfil my main purpose, grinding as anything other than shadow just doesn’t seem economical.
I don’t want to embarrass myself by posting a talent spec which I think would be effective, since I honestly have no clue, instead I will comment on some of the talents which I think would be important.
I’m assuming Disc/Holy would be the best PvP healer spec, leaving my priest somewhat durable, the talents improved PW:F and Unbreakable will being very important, wand spec isn’t useful for anything outside of grinding with spirit tap as far as I can tell. Mental Absolution and Mental Agility seem very important, any reduction in mana cost is probably worth it, considering it includes quite a few spells, Dispel Magic and so on being the main ones.
I would also include Divine spirit, improved divine spirit, meditation, mental strength for 10% more mana, after that point I am pretty much lost, I don’t know what to choose so if you could include a full spec to get my head straight that would be excellent!
Finally, since im still in work and cant spend much more time writing, I will ask if anyone can include basic strategies, any useful macros, or even gear lists, what stats should I be looking for?
Thank you in advance, please ask if you want any further details
