I can't post it on US forums, and EU forums don't have bug reports.

Even if the dispel misses, it should be written in the combatlog (just like with the dispels that miss Cho'Gall). However, as seen in the video, the Raid stacks up with everyone in Range, but some of the Fears aren't dispelled by first/second dispel.

You could test if it is really an issue because of the trapdoor by positioning the raid somewhere else. If the dispel still does not work correctly, then it probably is a targeting bug.

It's likely nothing to do with the floor; the same thing happens on Argaloth. It's possible to have both ranged groups and the melee group close enough on his hitbox to be covered by one Mass Dispel, but it's only random chance as to how many of the debuffs it will actually clear. It seems to be a targetting issue with Mass Dispel itself. I suppose this fits with Blizzard's model of allowing dispels to go off on targets that don't need it, but it seems to unfairly penalize Mass Dispel, especially with the very high mana cost involved.

Blessed Resilience is currently proc'ing from critical HoT ticks (my own hots and others' HoTs on me as well) I don't think this is as intended because the tooltip says "critically hit by any attack."

I have tried to heal as atonement spec on magmaw and came up very short to the point i was politely replaced in the raid. I am currently ilvl 353. I had a pally and druid on heals pushing 12k hps while i was at half that. Either I'm doing something wrong or discipline is just not the right spec for this boss.

My top heals for the fight were Atonement PWS and Renew. This is my armory link Darkmother @ Turalyon - Game - World of Warcraft. I am currently looking for 3 more pieces but have not seen 1 of them drop despite the numerous dungeon runs.

My experience with the fight is that it is not a tank healing fight same goes for the Halfus fight. The entire raid takes unavoidable damage. Spamming bubble is just not the way to go and smiting only helps the classes that r within range and at random. I could use some help healing these encounters.

I love disc healing and it kicks the crap out of any heroic battle but sadly has left me feeling very disappointed as a raid healing spec. Any advice on how to make this work.

On heroic magmaw, I was the top healer as disc (World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis). One slight different is that the extra adds on heroic give you something better to smite than the boss, since you'll have more/better atonement targets in range. Prayer of healing was my workhorse (~40% w/ DA), with shield (25%) and a variety of other heals filling out the rest. Archangel was mostly used for lava spew.

Get better assignments then. Smite is good on Magmaw, because it smart targets and if it's not healing your melee in need it's healing your tank and putting up a bubble.

More importantly, it allows you to build up Evangelism. Then convert Evangelism for Archangel to handle the Spew which comes out around every 20-25 seconds or so. Spew deals ~100k damage to the raid of so.

You can cheat a little and start casting your Prayer of Healing's a little bit earlier to put up the guaranteed Divine Aegis on the raid, or at least 2-3 parties or so -- this is effectively like "downranking" PW:S spam, but it's sustainable for longer periods.

For me, a single Prayer of Healing on the party should put up around a 4-9k shield or so, depending on crits. It also applies the 20% HoT.

Depending on your mana situation, you can start selectively pre-shielding people as well. Like those pesky mages who always seem to have the lowest health. Shield up 3-4 people in 1-party, Prayer of Healing another 1-2 parties before the Spew. Then of course spam your little heart out with Prayer of Healing during/directly-after the Spew.

In general, you should be worth your raid spot because of the Barrier and because those Divine Aegis extends the effective health of the raid.

I assume Darkmother is talking about non heroic 10 man version and I totally agree with onceler21. Atonement heals are one of your worst HPS spells. Unless fight provides you with some boost to boss damage Atonement heals are roughly equivalent to Heal. Now, no doubt your healing done is half of what other healers do if most of your healing done comes from Heal.

When situation is stable you can use it due to its decent HPM and in order to build Evangelism stacks. But if people are dying you need to throw your stronger heals - pws, penances, gheals on single target or PoH on groups.

Having said that Holy is currently believed to be a better group healing spec, but in 10 mans where there is lesser need for specialization you should be able to do well as disc.

In 353 ilevel gear, you can spec out of atonement / archangel and get along fine without it. Atonement heals are terrible for throughput. I place a priority system on my heals as a discipline priest: PW:S > Penance > Gheal.

Now let me explain it more.:

As a discipline priest, your mastery plugs directly into your pw:s. This should hit between 25-29k hp depending on your mastery. It's an instant cast 29k heal. It should be glyphed, so you get a heal after it expends, and you also proc rapture (mana return). Finally, it procs borrowed time, which is a haste increase. Next if penance is not on cooldown, use this. It does not expend your borrowed time buff, which means you can cast ANOTHER SPELL with 14% haste, it procs 3 stacks of grace improving your healing by 24% on that target. Follow this up with a greater heal (still hasted by 14% and improved by 24% healing).

For multiple targets, if you can sustain your PW:S raid spam, it's the highest you can do with the least amount of overhealing. With all the nerfs and changes to disc PW:S, most people cannot sustain this, so consider throwing out 3-5 PW:S and then switching to prayer of healing. For maximum healing per sec (HPS), you can interweave your PW:S and POH so that your POH benefits from the borrowed time buff. That'll make you highly competitive with all the other healers (I was finishing first last night on heroic attempts with PW:S spam).

The point of Atonement was never smite. It was Archangel. Nearly every hard fight in the game has some phase where you really need to pump out a lot of healing, preceded by some lull in healing. It's well worth 3 talent points to get 15% extra healing on demand. It's just that once you've already invested 3 points in Archangel, you might as well pick up Atonement for 2 more points.

Once you start doing more heroic fights, I think you'll find that Archangel is really important. Especially give the alternatives for those talent points-- there's not much of value available.

I don't think it's really a choice between Atonement and Borrowed Time. Regardless of whether or not you pick up Atonement you still probably want to include BT in your talent setup. Focused Will is definitely something I would avoid in a PVE spec when the disc tree already has talent bloat.

If you're throwing out smites in situations where there isn't heavy raid damage flying around to keep your evangelism stack active and maxed, you may as well spec into atonement to allow it to do a little bit of healing at the same time.
