Surviving as a Priest - Page 64

Priest/Rogue set up...we've stalled out at about 1430 or so, and I'm wondering what I can do to help out.

The World of Warcraft Armory

Summarizing what I have read, this is what I need to do:

Shifting 3/3 Silent Resolve to Absolution : I feel I need the extra mana when I spam mass dispell

Glyph of Fading (pve use) to Shackle Undead

spell penetration: AFAIK I'm aiming for 130 or so so fear is not resisted. Hit I am unsure of.

As I get upgrades I am dumping satin's crit for moon's spirit

Dumping Divine Aegis?

I'm afraid at this point I am just going to have to farm arena points for a few weeks in order to get some decent furious gear. Any other advice is appreciated.

Gear is part of the problem, as you'll need to start replacing those Hateful and PvE pieces with something better to stack more resilience.

I'm not sure gemming straight Stamina is that helpful - consider Stamina/Resilience gems to boost your Resilience rating (sub-1k is pretty low for a cloth healer) as long as you have the hit points to survive an initial burst, as past a certain health pool damage mitigation becomes more useful. Particularly since your partner is a Rogue and should be able to peel, you won't need the extra hit points just to survive a single DPS sticking to you. If you're running into mana problems, consider using the Insightful meta instead of stun duration reduction.

As for talents, I would consider dropping some points from Inspiration (and perhaps Holy Spec) to flesh out Grace, Renewed Hope, and get Martyrdom. Switching Silent Resolve to Absolution might not be a bad idea for mana issues, but keep in mind that there are a lot of priests in 2v2.
