Any good tips for a Holy priest? I am lvl 45 now… and looking to be the best healer I can be for my guild… we are a small dedicated group, with no healer. Right now we have to pay random ppl to run with us on the harder ones.

What addons do you suggest? Right now I have Healbot and Decursive just for the healer.

I also use (for all toons):
Bartender4
DBM
MrPlow
Gatherer
Auctionator

I'm a clicker so I personally LOVE healium. I'd recommend that to other "clickers" for sure.

Well my hubby who doesn't play anymore, actually convinced me to try a rogue! And I'm having alot of fun with her. Going the subtlety route and see how things go. Just dinged 20 this morning.

Also, we FINALLY have a weekly raid going! We joined up in a guild alliance with another guild. So far its working out very well! We shall see. We've cleared trash in BoT a few times. No epics yet though.

You PAY people to run you? Oy. Why not just use dungeon finder? I don't like it for a whole group, but just for one person I don't mind it.

I don't run any addons, as for whatever reason, they seem to mess up my UI.... except auctioneeer is usually good, but I don't have it installed right now. Also, I'm kinda weird in that I actually feel like certain addons feel like cheating. I mean the game is already dirt stupid most of the time.

Yeah, we cant use dungeon finder because we are running BG/LK heroics.

So we tried to ask people to do it for free... but no bites so we pay them now... 20g per run...until i can get my healer to 80+

Oh dear heavens!!! I think I have found my people! Disney AND WoW!!

Hellooooooooo, let me introduce myself. I'm Gerbie, from Borean Tundra (Horde).

Gerbie is an 85 Belf shadow/holy priest. She's my main. I love her.

I have a few other toons that I play around with. An 85 destro lock. An 82 prot pally. A 76 unholy DK. A 59 BM hunter. A 30 enhance shammy. A 23 resto druid. All on BT server.

I run around with my husband; he has five 85's. We have our own guild with a core group, although we haven't done any Cata raids yet. Hoping to start next week though.

To Greenepona: Healbot is nice, but I prefer vuhdo. It's more customizable IMO.

Oh dear heavens!!! I think I have found my people! Disney AND WoW!!

IM NOT ALONE!

Whisperwind Alliance here.

Level 85's

Treznak (MAIN) - Gnome Rogue PvP Sub, Raid Combat, Miner Engineer
Once you go gnome, you never go home

Foradin - Dwarf Pally TANKING BAYBEE. Miner Blacksmith

Cayan - Nelf Druid (recently faction changed from Tauren) Resto/Boom Herb Alchemy

Winterbolt - my Wizard is Frosty the Gnomeman Tailer/inscriptionist.

I have numerous twinks. My gnome has 50k HKs and I love Battleground PvPing, although I have been grinding my Tank in pvp now. Tol Barad

Our guild is Brewhaus, and is a family guild. Parent and children.

My favorite race is gnome. If the toon I make can be a gnome, it is a gnome. Its so bogus that gnomes can be warriors and priests, but not Palys. Harumpf!

I know, right. Now, we just need to convince Disney & Blizzard that WDW is the perfect place for a park totally based on WoW.

Nope, not alone at all!! My favorite race is the gnome on Ally side and belf or goblins on the Horde. I have two lvl 85 gnomes with green pigtails. I just love them!! Way back, when I first started playing WoW, my DH and I played on the same account. When he realized that I would actually play, he said that he would transfer my toon to my own account for a wedding anniversary present. Right after he put in for the transfer, and Blizzard had the toon locked down, they froze all account transfers for an undetermined time. Well my DH made me make a human pally. I would literally put him on follow b/c I was so sad I was crying too hard to actually play. I cried every day until I got my little gnome, Hunnybunny back.

DNGNB8: Our guild is a family guild too. Our kids have their toons in it. Our best friends (who we are planning a Disney trip with, YAY!) are in it as well as their kids. We have a 15 year old who we joke around with that his adoption papers are in the mail. It's soooooo nice to have that family atmosphere. So much less stress and bickering.

Wookie: A WoW theme park would be awesome! Someone should pitch that idea to Blizz.

 

[Desiree]

This one is for all my geeky girls...

For the finest in fashion this side of Azeroth google "geek chick cosmetics" then select eyeshadow and 10 man raid. LOL

Somehwere in Asia, there sort of is... well, it is a restaurant with WoW based menus, and attractions.... no rides, tho.

 

[Gerberah]

Desiree: I was LOL @ the make up.

Big Cuddly Bear: Hmmm, not really wanting to eat skewered eel or mudfish, tyvm. But you've piqued my curiousity, so I'm off to google WoW restaurants.

 

[Dax]

I havent played WoW in 2 days....LOL..I needed a small break...but plan on playing tonight with the hubby

 

[dngnb8]

Me too!

I am currently playing Foradin or Cayan for the most part. Trying to gear a tank and healer and so is the guild leader. This way we always have quick Q's for raiding. Im more of a pvp fan though. M-Th we typically are in Tol Barad doing the dailies etc.

we are a level 16 guild, full bank slots, ventrilo, with no real specific game focus. We arent scheduled raiders etc. We just get on, do something and have fun. Sometimes we schedule a raid (rarely). We help people when we can, but we dont escort people. We believe that escorting does more harm then good. We would rather you learn your toon so when you do raid, you dont wipe the raid.

Brewhaus is an extremely helpful, fun, low key, sarcastic guild. Many of us have kids in the game although during the school year, they arent on much (homework). When kids are in vent, we monitor the chat. When theyre not in vent, well, the chat can get a bit racy, but it is all in fun.

We have the opinion that when the game becomes a schedule, and people start QQing about raids etc, its not a game any longer. In short, you pay your $15 for your fun, and it isnt up to us to tell you how to have it. Send a whisper and say hi if you wish. Let me know what classes and specs you have and I can friend you so if we're short a slot, we can look you up. If youre not guilded, check out Brewhaus.

This has been a paid advertisement for Brewhaus......

 

[dngnb8]

.but plan on playing tonight with the hubby

When youre done playing, log into WoW.....

And remember, if you use Frostbolt, it will shrink his Ice Lance

I play Garlicguy or Magespice the most. I am an officer in Legion. We are an offshoot of Soulforged, that broke away when the GM started making all his decisions based on his private parts and not his brain.

We started in February, and should be level 15 by tonight.

GG is an 85 pally with 320 gear. Magespice should hit 78 today.

We started out as just a casual guild with no real goals. It has slowly become a raiding guild. I don't raid, and will never raid. Simple 5 mans are fine with me.

We don't really have many low level toons that aren't alts, so most people have a pretty good idea of how to play. We do run each other all the time because we know how to play. I personally will not help noobies by running them - ever. Like you, I think that hurts players. If a noobie does join our guild, they usually quit within a week, and frequently the same day they joined.

I'll look you up.

I think Legion and Brewhaus have grouped in the past. Im kinda like you. Im not a uber raider.

I do PvP alot though.

dngnb8, that was a good one!

We had someone join the guild a few weeks ago and we were immediately sorry. It was "Can one of you 80's go kill a bunch of stuff so I can level fast? I saw it on youtube. You get crazy XP!" and on and on and on. I'm sure you know the type.

Um...no. But then we decided to have a little fun with the annoying little turd. Grouped him up with a hunter, took the zep to Borean Tundra. Hunter pulled a crapload of mobs, then feigned death. leaving that poor little level 5 all by his lonesome. He deserved it though.

Had a bit of fun last night...was helping a guildie do the Crucible of Carnage quests in Twilight Highlands. Some idiot Ally decided to get on his drake and stand right on top of our target, making it difficult for my husband who was tanking. The idiot ended up flagging himself, I guess thinking he would make it even more difficult for us. We just decided to mow him right on down. Killed him about 5 times while his group was doing the CoC quests, lol. Ended up with basically his guild versus our guild in an all out pvp war.

We're doing a BoT trash run tonight, so it should be interesting. So sad that they changed it, priests can't mind control those mobs anymore. Apparently some priests were exploiting it -- MC a mob, letting the other mobs kill it off, then run out of the raid, putting the active mobs back in their original place, letting you re-enter to loot the dead mob.

 

[Gerberah]

Our BoT trash run went amazingly well. Had lots of fun. No epix though. =(

Leroy'ed Halfus just for the heck of it.

Going to do our first guild BH run this weekend, so if any of you have any pointers, that would be appreciated.
