A Leason In Holy DPS
by Laneer on Jan.10, 2008, under Farming, Gameplay, Questing
When I logged out I had left myself in Moonglade, I know you must be wondering why in the world I would be there. Well in my attempt to be a completest I’ve been trying to get all the tailoring and enchants as well that I have access too. There are 2 recipes that are a limited buy in Moonglade I didn’t have. I’ve checked many times but they are always gone. They are always on the auction house for silly amounts of money. So that is a still a no go on those patterns!

I decided to ride out from Moonglade as I left and go get that flight point they FINALLY added to the bottom of Felwood a few patches ago. I had already picked up the new one they added in STV. It had been a while since I had been in Felwood. I used to come here often to farm Felcloth to make Mooncloth. After I got this flight point I also ran over to Eversong in Ashenvale.
Then I went back and did my cooking daily and headed over to farm my 5 Primal Air, and 5 Primal Fire. Inian had already been on and joined the slowest Shadow Labs run ever. I was chatting with him and they were finally on the second boss when their Rogue went link dead. Inian had been propping up the the DPS in the group doing something like 44% of the damage. I still need Lower City faction so I told him I’d come DPS.

He told the group and the Priest in the group said they needed “good dps”, and Inian assured them I was good DPS. In fact from what my Violator was showing vs what Inian had on the Rogue I was twice the DPS. They went ahead and invited me and about half way through the rest of the instance I reported my damage, Inian and I were doing a combined 70% or so of the damage. I was out damaging the DPS warrior they had by about 12%. So yes Inian was in a group with 2 Priests and 2 Warriors, and everyone was Human but me
We even managed to do the silly warlock guy with the run around method. I didn’t complain cause I wasn’t healing.

We did Mur Mur pretty quickly actually. No one died and I only got touched twice instead of my usual ‘the whole time’ hehe He didn’t even live long enough for me to run out of mana! Oh and I definitely still maintain everything I have is procing more than it did last patch. Maybe its JBoots syndrome but it sure seems like it!
Just before I left the group the Priest that was healing said “Thanks for the leason in holy DPS”. I thought what a great title for a blog post
So yes I can DPS everyone, quite well actually! I would have done even better if I had my fully damage spec on, right now I”m this PvP hybrid. I’m going to wait and see what is coming with 2.4, but I think I’m going to go back and get Force of Will again. I’m mostly questing,farming or instancing and don’t PvP THAT much so its kind of a waste of points.
Just before I left I checked the AH, yes those silly vendor patterns were there but they were selling them cheaper than normal. I ended up buying 4 vendor patterns for around 14 gold. I had made more than enough profit today to take care of that.

Just out of curiosity, is FoW that good? I only ask because I levelled as Disc mostly but always went for Reflective Shield instead.

I miss it quite a bit actually. The extra 5% damage is very nice. Plus if your SoL like I am, the another 5% of crit is golden!
