Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

If you read yesterday’s post you know that I abandoned Shadow and gone back to a Holy DPS build for my second spec.  Now there isn’t enough talents to use for all Holy dps (it isn’t a serious spec) so I’ve also spec’d for PvP survivability.    What I ended up with is this.  I managed like I mentioned yesterday to squeeze in Body and Soul which is fun, and the poison cure turned out be very useful   I also squeezed out a point into Spirit Tap.  This seems to be more than enough to make my questing mana issues not an issue

I tested it out while collecting stone for the folks at the argent tournament.  The little robot guys get in your way and I was happy to smite them!  The smite glyph is totally fun, increasing the damage of smite by 20%.  What is even cooler is the reflective shield which can crit, happens to  proc SoL!  So I was back to dpsing like I used to when I was holy and enjoying it.

While I was doing my Tournament quests I did get a tell from one of the good folks at Texas Mercenaries inviting me to do 10man Mally with them.   Now I’ve wanted to see this fight for a long time but it is a chicken or the egg thing.  No one will let you go to any Mally run unless you have already been on a Mally run.  When he asked I simply replied I haven’t been yet, and his reply was “ouch!”.  So there was a long long pause, I’m assuming they were talking about it.  They told me that I was a really awesome healer and they would teach me the fight.  It was fairly late though, and I was pretty worn out so I decided to reluctantly decline.  I let them know I would study the fight and if they want to invite me next time I would totally be up for it.  So I’m going to have to go practice on the Drakes by the Nexus, and doing some reading/video watching on the fight.  Having done all the quests in relation I really feel I owe it to Mally to kill him

I also tried my first Strand of the Ancients tonight.  I have to admit I didn’t really know what to do I know it involves destroying walls, sort of a mini winters grasp I think.  I did well though, even though I have no PvP gear it was quite difficult for them to kill me without bunches of people.  I can’t say I really enjoyed this one though, I would have more fun with a AB or WSG I think.  We didn’t win though so just for the achievement at least I am going to try to win won   I did get some sort of kill achievement in there though.

Before I logged off I realized I could rearrange some of my DPS and healing gear to get me some more crit.  I wanted to maintain some hit though because when I was wearing just my Disc gear smite misses too much.  Inien told me that all I needed was 4% or as close to it as I could get and what I found is I could have just a tad under 4%, and have 27% Holy crit   I think that will suit me fine, and if I can ever pick up some more crit for my Disc gear maybe I can get more hehe
