Hey there! Glad you liked my post. I’ve been really enjoying your blog as well.

Going into Outlands, the best gear I had was from MC and ZG. However, at this point, my soloing set has been completely replaced by Outlands stuff. So I wouldn’t worry too much about gear; good gear basically just falls in your lap as you’re leveling up. I’ve managed to collect both a healing set and a soloing set that far outshine MC/ZG items without even really trying. Do a few quests, run Blood Furnace and Underbog a couple times, and you’ll have what I have.

I respecced a little bit last night, by the way. I moved the points in Imp. PW:F to Silent Resolve (for PUG healing), and took
Holy Reach for more pulling distance. Holy Reach also helps if you use Psychic Scream instead of PW:S, since the mobs tend to run too far for a non-Holy Reach smite to reach them without you having to run around trying to follow.

These holy nukers/healers have existed since the priest talent overhaul around patch 1.10 if memory serves. If you insist on soloing to go to 70 and don’t want to do it shadow, then it’s ok, though dps and dpm is still not that of pure offensive casters. You really need to have a lot of +dmg gear to make it work, besides there’s no +holy dmg gear. Compared with the constant crits of a frost mage for instance you just don’t compete. Shadow on the other hand benefits from more itemization choices and doesn’t even need crits to perform.

I think it’s more efficient to group with a rogue if you’re disc/holy, or with a warlock if you’re shadow, and tear through the content. There are so many quests it’s more efficient than grinding solo.

Jsut so you know so far in outlands I havn’t come across much gear that is fire resist that isnt craftable, after you and a few mates get your levels up a bit in outlands it may help to do a quick run through to get some nice fire resist gear, this will also help when against some bosses in the instances

As far as I know BC raid fights are less resist-based than old WoW. In doubt, always keep resist gear in the bank though.

question i have a 63 preist and i never relly tested it but dose improved swp do more damage or less damage just drag out the time i never bothered testing it thankz

so if you want to do more dps over a short ammount of time dont use it?

MMMKKK

HEY!!!what is a good off hand item because i got a dagger. and i dont have a offhand so i need to farm one ne one of the bc instances have a good offhand for healing? or healing dps or dps dosnet relly matter if so plz tell me

I still use my Hoodoo stick from ZG, but I do recall a quest in Hellfire Penn that gives an offhand as a quest reward. I don’t think Ramparts, BF or Shattered Halls have offhands as drops (could be wrong) but Slave Pens has a healy offhand drop and the Cenarion Expedition has a really nice off-hand with Exalted rep.

Pure dps holy damage in my oppinion is as follows:

Discipline:

5 - wand specialization
2 - improved power word fortitude
3 - improved power word shield
2 - martyrdom
1 - silent resolve
1 - inner focus
3 - meditation
3 - improved inner fire
5 - mental strength
1 - devine spirit
2 - improved devine spirit
5 - force of will
1 - power infusion

Holy:

5 - holy specialization
5 - divine fury
1 - holy nova
3 - blessed recovery
2 - insperation
2 - holy reach
2 - searing light
5 - spiritual guidance

Shadow:

2 - spirit tap

this is the dps build with holy damage in mind

you will need as much plus damage as u can get.

but i believe that the burst damage can compete even with the other dps caster classes

let me know how u feel about it

actually, the only real reason to go shadow is to have a replacement for a shammy’s water totem with a free heal that pulls more aggro the harder you dps. simply put, you pug as shadow and don’t either downgrade or hold back, you will die. a far more reliable (speaking from experience, i’ve seen them go head to head in raid after raid) raider is a smite spec’d priest stacking crit and hit (all 70 blues) will outdps a shadow priest (in kara+ epics). to do this effectively…take everything you find with crit on it (throw in some hit rating for boss fights) and spec down to improved prayer of spr in disc, and down to surge of light in holy, making sure to grab the reduce casting time, higher crit, searing light, and holy reach. with average gear and a ret pally in the group, holy priests can rival an affliction lock. people don’t accept this build…but it is one of the most incredible ones i’ve seen.

that last spec that was posted i think you looked of=ver a few things like surge of light which gives you a chance to have a mana free instant cast smite and though it says it cant crit i have had it crit before yes very rare but it has happend now that goes for all crits if you crit on a heal or on a damage spell you have a 50%

I liked the build I plan on using it myself. atm I am a 64 dwarf. I also leveled a warrior and found it to be too boring.

Its good to see some other USF people areound we are going to take over the world. Muhahaha
