Unless he has it in an ezmode macro and is too lazy to use the abilities seperately?
This is something that drives me nuts: Why are people so hesitant to swap glyphs? Level inscription on an alt and/or befriend (people are scary) a scribe, have stacks of options available, profit?
I have a full bag of enchanting mats from this past weekend, I just bought like 15 epic gems from the WG shard -> honor conversion things + the honor from running 1 weekly WG + leftover badges.... So aside from flasks & glyphs, the rest of my raid type stuff is "free" from just doing what I'm normally doing. Get like 100g worth of herbs, which is like 20min worth of dailies, you're good to go for glyphs for a month.
I've been meaning to ask about this. I tried it before, and I can clear up to three of the packs, but only clearing three leads to me running into "you have entered too many instances recently" problems. This would be pretty easy if I were a Night Elf (fuck you shadowmeld), but I just can't figure out how to clear the back couple of patrols and live. I suppose I could buy some herbs and make invisibility pots, but I wondered if there was a more elegant way. I probably could clear a fourth one if I were patient enough on timing pats, but even just three gets pretty dicey when it's time to run out of the instance to drop combat.
OK, I'm a bit spoiled; by the time I end up tanking anything I've probably healed it already. I know when to pop things, because I know when the healing was more hectic. I may not be superpro at everything yet, and least everyone that's healed me has made comments like, "Can you take some damage, I'm bored."
Word on the street is that tanks have two responsibilities: Threat and mitigating. Part of mitigating is building the proper gear (and sets) for encounters, the other is mashing those extra buttons once in a while. Stop being terrible.
Other hate, long version:
Equip: Increases spell power by 179.
Equip: Each time your spells heal a target you have a chance to cause another nearby friendly target to be instantly healed for 5550 to 6450.
The trinket can proc from EVERYTHING - direct heals, hots, PW: S glyph, Holy Light glyph, Earth Shield etc. So it drops on Tuesday, the 2 Druids in the raid get hyper pissed because I gave it to a Holy Priest. Their reasoning: It can proc off hots and they cast hots. Newsflash, so does every other healing class in one way or another, maybe not as many as you. The trinket has a 45 second icd and a 30% proc rate. While it will likely proc for them close to cooldown since they'll have a bunch of hots out, IT WILL ALSO PROC FOR EVERY OTHER CLASS TOO HOLY CRAP. Priests & Paladins have a 11% chance of NOT proccing on their next CoH or Holy Light, Shamans are around 24% for chain heal, Me a whopping 34% with Penance. Now mind you, this is with nothing else out, so I guess none of us use Riptide/Renew/Prayer of Mending ever, etc.
Short version: I have to make a giant theorycraft math post to justify giving an upgrade to someone using a mediocre trinket since we haven't yet gotten 9 Heroic Solaces to try to silence a loot whore.
Actually, I don't know if that will count as a pally heal for anything but meters. At least for the purposes of trinket proccing. I've not to the best of my knowledge gotten my meta to proc on JoL hit, and that shit will proc off of summoning my pally mount.
But still, we pallies have a HoT that ticks each second (for every person with a SS on them that we hit with a FoL. That can be several goinga t once.) With HL splash and our direct heals, it'll be proccing plenty.
Well the metas are (if I recall) on spellcast, whereas the trinket in question is 'on heal', so I think it'd do it. Obviously Ish should give the next one to a ret paladin to test with JoL and Divine storm :P
Hate: Our old xbox sounds like it's running on desiel fuel, but...must...play...dragon...age.
Hope: Xbox Elite comes home before the new year.
Happy: Did ICC in 10s, i think we just missing one achievement now. we did the airship attack exactly as the achievement discribed each raid member only ever going onto the other airship once, but no credit. oh well. It was easy enough and will be repeating it again.
Speaking of which:
Happy: Raid weekly is Noth. Got a group together last night to knock him out for badges.
Hate: No shaman for BL. He teleported at <100k.
Healers were me and another holy pally. I was doing pretty much pure dps with seal of corruption up and the other pally pulled the same dps ( 600! woo!) as me. So he was probably doing same. We could have both gone ret and killed the guy faster while doing more healing.
Hope: Get rid of my i200 bracers. HPoS is being a PoS.
Hate: Carneys
Hate: In addition to that FoS pug I did last night having the awful hunter, the caster sword dropped off the last boss, just as I knew it would since i wasn't on my mage.
I dunno, but it might be a holdover from when you couldn't swap in an instance. I have like 7 stacks of glyphs laying around, and honestly, the worst part is the bag or bank space (depending if it's worthing carrying).
Although, a stack of glyphs is pretty much the smallest amount I feel like bothering guildies to make. If it's just one glyph, I just buy it off the AH, even if I pay out the nose. :-/
hrmmm, I know I didn't... and i can't positively say no one else did. But I will mention this since I think we will be trying it in 25 mans tonight, thanks for the info!
I think you passed some sort of curse onto me because after I read your earlier post the LFG dropped me into a HoR with a DK that had spellpower items on.
It was doomed anyway run from the moment I got there. They were doing the lich king chase part when I got in. What happens?
*teleport inside*
Me: Hello
Fury of Frostmourne hits you for 100000
Me:What a welcome
Everyone stacks on the boss and doesn't move and the fight takes forever.
"Ok, fine.... that took way longer than it should have but whatever. So for the next boss, don't DPS him when he mirrors someone. Again, it looks like a tether. If you DPS him while he does that, it will kill whoever he's mirroring."
So I died rather early in that fight.
I *might* have intentionally popped cooldowns on the second boss in FoS to kill another DPS who had ticked me off.
I approve.
I let a guy die to get the stupid night elf mohawk mask off him.
To be fair, the first couple times I did that first boss in FoS I had no idea what that ability did. Melee dps stayed stacked, ranged didn't get hit by it, dps blew through the healed damage so fast I didn't even notice.
Not terrible dps, but not enough to where letting him get the heals wouldn't make a difference. Plus I told them what it did. I just attributing it to laziness.
Makes me want to play my healer more.

I've killed a few tanks with the version (where your damage is dealt to Tyrannus's target) in pits. You'd think I'd stop going as affliction...
Healer: I said stop dps on mirror!
Me: I did!

Sad: I'm nowhere near the first person to bitch about this.
Happy-ish: Every time I see a DK die my heart grows 7 times bigger for 30 seconds. Usually until the next time I get Death Gripped into a blender.
Plan: Level 39 Pally to 60 and go a-DK-Hunting. Oh yes, vengeance shall be mine. :evil:

Well I sad it was too late because I cast those spells long before he cast the mirror
@Disc Haste.... T9 gear was just loaded with Haste, there's no avoiding it for the most part. T10 gets a little better, but I think I figured I'll end up around 15% while actively *Avoiding* it when possible. It's not perfect, but well, it still effects your casts when you're not just bubble spamming at least.
Also, that part of the post was made a long while ago and simply copy-pasted into the new thread, where they followed up on it by having a big long discussion about how more haste than that isn't all that bad, especially for a tank healer.
