FRIIIIIINGE! Yay more people watching Fringe! It takes about 6-8 episodes of the first season before they finally decide what they want to DO with the show, but then it just takes off and never stops! 2nd season is awesome, and eeee, this season!!!

I’d love to see your Power Aura exports when you’ve got them set up!

I actually think that I may have lost some healing last night trying to weave in HoTss. Next week, I’m going to give straight HT spam a whirl and see how effactive it is compared to my ahT/HoTs from this week.

I set up a power aura to monitor if Lifebloom drops It’s been fairly helpful!

I’m enjoying healing on my Druid, but want to see it at 85 before deciding if I like what they’ve done to us

I’m not convinced they got it right either. I just said it sounded good to someone who admittingly has no clue about holy Paladins.

I read the post – which started out as a top progression paladin saying many of the things I said here.

I’m not convinced Blizzard got paladins “right”, but I guess we will see as we approach 85.

You are probably right. I wish they had just waited until after Blizzcon to fix it.

We ended up flipping Sindy back to normal last night due to the combination of: her bugs, game bugs (apparently there is something wrong with sound for a lot of people), UIs not quite set up yet, and the constant DCs from that damn cog wheel. Pretty sure we spent more time waiting for people to come back online than we did actually playing

Actually, as I noticed from our 25 last night, chakra is incredibly strong! Doesn’t seem to matter which one is picked

And, I think there are a lot of really unhappy holy pallirs right now, unfortunately

I used HoTs/HT last night and it worked out really well. I actually think I may have lost some throughput by using the HoTs, and may have done better just spamming HT on her. I think it’s definitely worth a try next week to see the difference

I played with a Nourish/HT build for Dreamwalker as I didn’t take the portals but often spend 85% of my time still healing the big green dragon. I was mainly casting HoTs, standing by the dragon and casting Swiftmend on myself so she got efflorescence and still using Nourish to keep my Lifebloom stack up at all times. It worked quite well – will probably try it differently next time because Nourish really does bite but I wasn’t unhappy with it.

On a side note – I absolutely love Fringe – can’t wait for Season 3 to start in Aus!!!

And there I thought holy palis were the only really happy paladins at the moment – I stand corrected?

I’m also a little surprised to hear my fellow disc priests complain, I can see the nerf to shields must be very noticeable but then they were quite strong and it was bound to happen sooner or later. It was rather obscene how much of a difference spamming shields on Arthas could make for example.
I still don’t think holy has become ‘more powerful’ all of a sudden, if anything we’re in the same boat about the changes not being too overwhelming. I hate how they changed Surge of Light and the nerfs to prayers overall and CoH are very noticeable as well. :s
