looks like u didnt have a good class balance to begin with.. 59 shaman? er.. and def not enough dps or aoe to kill the mobs in that room. Such a bad class balance will frustrate anyone..

Besides that, also seems like the warrior didnt know how to tank multiple targets, resulting in you getting agro from healing and the priests were just messing around..

Basically sounds like a case of bad class balance and bad players.. Try to choose ur groups more carefully imo

there is vanish, and there are good tanks.

if the tank is good, feinting is only being retarded.

just to let you know, a feint only lowers the threat of my 3 hit autoattack, if i crit, only 2 hit.

if you still dont get it, basically the moment i feint, it only takes 1.90 (my dagger weapon speed) seconds should i crit my auto attack to regain the aggro i had prior to feint.

tell me, is it useful?

id rather save the energy to mutilate more, if im gonna pull aggro, i might as well squeeze in more dps before i pull it, and prolly still dps after i pull aggro if its on trash and i can kidney shot and still continue to mutilate.

so YOU L2P.

and have you partied with good prot warriors/feral druids? if ur feinting then, ur just gimping ur dp making you look like a clown on the dps meters.

oh shi- EPIC DERAILMENT!

wait...so your entire motivation to not feint is to rule the damage meters? ummm...<speechless>

i already rule it, i just push further, and more.

no limits.

and its not like its impossible to hold aggro so long you understand its mechanics, in fact, you can even abuse the aggro mechanic to a certain extent.

competant tanks have absolutely NO problem in holding my aggro, i dont see why i have to cap myself for no reason.

=edit=
well a lil clarification, i have been outdps'ed 6 times since BC is released, all 6 also by no more than 10% margin. and the one that did ~9% was wearing around 6 lvl70 BC epics mage, tank didnt had any problem holding his aggro either, and we did arcatraz in around 1 hour 20-30ish min, where an avg group would end you up 2-3 hours. so yeah, more dps, shorter run, everyone's happy.

bogardan: that is true, stacked classes in bc is kinda asking for it, but still, apparently the thread is being focused on how incompetant the priest is within the group.

It's kinda a cop-out right? If you steal aggro because you refuse to feint, you just blame the tank not being competent enough.

Try to post in the rogue forums that "People who feint need to L2P" and you'll probably get flamed to death.

Priest can keep the whole group alive, provided each know what they are doing, however in PUG I've bad experience and normally will just keep the MT alive. for others when I see they are not full health I'll just toss a renew on them, here is why;

Mage - they should not draw aggro in the first place, I got a mage too, if Warrior is good there is no reason for you to get hit. anyway If I heal you and the mob will turn to me, and you can't Taunt it off me and I end up used most of my mana to keep me alive... when I went oom and tank die grp wipe... So if mage get aggro L2IceCube/frostnova.

Hunter - Silly hunter like to draw aggro off their pet, they will feint death/ice trap anyway so heal on them is no point, coz if they feint mob on you = WIPE

Warlock - Warlock is the worst to heal... they can't frost nova to slow mob.. they can't feint death.. if they dun get VW/Felguard/succy to draw aggro away from themself, dun expect he will help you when you bashed by mobs.

Rogue - skilled rogue = heal, coz they are good off tanker and need to keep them alive... silly rogue = mana sink, especially when they draw aggro off tank, and most of the time they will vanish and aggro on Healer >"<

Shaman/Druid(non-Bear form)/Pally/Priest - Heal yourself... you are secondary healer in the grp anyway

DPS warrior - dunno what to say about them sad.gif

However if everyone know what they are doing I can keep the whole grp in 90%+ health with no death toll smile.gif

So priest can heal more than 2 ppl... they can even keep the grp alive from AOE boss. But if the grp sux, you'll get oom and wipe, then they will blame you tongue.gif

I've joined a party to go to Blood Furnace, and never in my life in WoW has got any DISGUSTED..

Party Info ( a lvl 61 warrior, lvl 59 shaman (enchance spec), lvl 64 priest (holy spec), lvl 70 priest (he did nothingin there, he just mc'ing and dps) and a lvl 63 pally (tat's me)

In the instances, things were going allright, i died once because i dont know why, the warrior aren't tanking well coz i grabbed his aggro lol (take note: i'm just holy spec), and the priest lvl 64 said he didn't heal / can't heal me in time because he will only focus on MT (main tank) and will heal me the last.. OMFG I've been healing in instances since lvl 60 in OUTLAND since i'm holy, all the party i've been that there's no priest around and I have no problem healing 2 MT / OFFTANK.. the only problem I have is sometimes I have to take care of the casters..

It's ok I died once, nvm.. We go on until The Maker, everything went on so well.. until the room we going to kill that BIG HEADY BOSS.. Here is the most funniest thing going on..

(Take note: In this room we must kill each of the mobs fast enuff to prevent respawn)

After we pulled the trigger, first room come out, as far as I know this room has no elites, so we can clear them fast to prevent respawn.. But something very funny happened..

This 2 priest and the warrior.. keep on fearing them.. this is where is start to get "pening" .. the warrior keep on chasing the feared ones, tat lvl 70 priest mc'ing 1, reducing in time killing and as i expected, the respawn came out, then they fear again and i was like "OMFG THEY AREN'T ELITES CAN'T WE JUST KILL THEM FAST?" .. I was chasing them to kill and I was like jesus when we did clear the room 1, then room 2 come out, same tactics they fear again!!! this time the elites.. the warrior didn't kill fast enuff, and I dont know why am I getting all the aggro since he's tanking (take note = i'm only holy build) then I died ?? zzz (take note divine shield still on cd because there is an aggro b4 thanks to the priest lvl 70 mc'ing in the middle of the room with pats coming).. as usual, more elites spawn out becoz of the time we took to kill those elites >.<

The priest (lvl 64) said he only will heal MT and if me, he only put shield and renew and that's all =D, BUT WHEN I'M DEAD, he has a full shot of mana to heal the whole party in the end =D but not me =D.. I can't accept that kind of damn fact.. Since I'm getting all the aggro, the warrior HP shud be no problem, and the priest should have common sense to heal who needed the most..

Yes they fear to replenish their mana, but in the end, we can't even pass room 2 (wipe in the end)..

I have run this BF so many times, and never get any trouble in this room.. All is going very well, no fearing needed and i'm the only healer and till the boss come out i still have half full bar of mana to heal that tanker fight like GOD LIKE..

The thing I can't accept is "Priest dont heal who needed the most" .. and " shield + renew = ok i'm done with you, bye "

To all priest out there, I have no offense to priest healing.. But when you're in party, will you concentrate only the MT and not the whole party?

For me, I have no problem in healing 2 at the same time.. ^^ (maybe becoz I have illumination, but priest mana bar and regen should be better than me)

lesson no.1. dun pug with nub

actually shield is the LEAST mana efficient spell. I use it only in emergencies and for clothies when they need to AoE.

As for healing priority, of course the first priority is always the MT (most of the time anyway) but if I have extra mana I will try to keep the whole party up. knowing who to heal first and which spell to use comes with experience and practice. I admit that I used to be one of those priests who ONLY has the highest flash heal and renew in my action bars:(( with experience, I know how use lower rank heals, G heals, lower renews, lower flash heals and knowing which to use is kind of like second nature to me. My problems are usually warlocks and hunters. FD-ing beside the priest after gaining aggro is NOT SMART. Hellfire like crazy unecessarily is also NOT SMART.

People say that we whine after a small nerf, IMO, EVERY CLASS will whine if they are nerfed. Big or small. End of story. There are good priests and there are bad ones. Perhaps this one is especially bad. Doesn't mean everyone who plays a priest is bad. I can also name many incidents where there are noob hunters, warriors, mages, shamans, druids, and warlocks (palladins not yet coz haven't really partied with one yet except myself :b). You can /rant and complain but please do not condemn the whole class.

Most of the times(about 95% of the encounter including instance/raid trash mobs),you dont need to use feint.
learn to vanish,understand threat mechanic or install KTM will help.

rogue players are like warrior players. when they're good, they're very good. when they're not, wipe.

then again, L2P is not as easy as it sounds. just team with SL with a lvl70 fire mage that is carrying a +52 str staff and using her carrot on a stick trinklet. adoi.

not only rogues and warriors, works the same for every class as a matter of fact ^^

like for example, considering the topic at hand, ive partied with a priest that have 1.7k +healing, and some 12k mana... and moderately high spirit too... VERY hard to oom despite our speed pullings and everyone's health bar is greeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnn lol. only part where he mana actually drops to a noticeble point is on bosses (we doing mechanar and bosses at that instances is a lil "out of place" with their stupid aoes)

aggroboy: i already answered, i only need you to get the answers yourself, not asking you anything in return.

lol pally even worse, if only tank/1-2 guys taking dmg, they dont even have to drink thanks to overpowered illumination via flash spams. just stay above 90% mana all the time jumping around until someone takes dmg, blessings also dare to do it on boss cuz he knows mana aint an issue at all.

but their biggest weakness, if around or more than 2-3 ppl taking dmg, they're virtually useless, someone will have to die or potion/healthstone etc etc.

well....every class has good and bad players....learning the mechanics and skill function of each class is the ultimate goal where each one can adress easily throughout our career in wow. Though i haf stop playing nowadays, but life as a healer is the same, now more skill is needed coz of 25 men raids and 10 men raids...
5 mens have always been the epitome of learning for all new healbots....This is where a good healbot differs from a lousy one.

I haf seen priest in blues keeping up 3 mages aoe'ing mobs ....and mind ya, those mages aint decked out .....simples rules like potting everytime u could , burning cooldowns all the time, and burning em at the right time would make a healbot more efficient.......

Gears make a different, but there are many other methods to overcome the lack of gear, potting for once makes a difference....and so is speccing for healbot would too.

One healbot should always take pride in able to keep up their mates in whatsoever condition.....reaction towards scenarios are most important.

That is why i am a staunch believer in understanding the mechanics and instances u are going to be a good healbot.One can never grasp fully the role unless u clearly know the instance inside out.Positioning as a healbot is critical for a healer too. A dead healer = useless healer.
A healbot who heals himself all the time coz taking dmg = another useless healbot.

A healbot needs to know where to position himself, LOS to the tanks and fully grasp the condition of the instances to abuse the advantage from it.
Knowing what skill to spam , deranking spells will only help when one realises that surviving is the essential thing.

A dead healbot cant heal ppl....A live one will haf a chance to....And tat's the difference between a good and a healbot and a crappy one.
