    Which healer are you playing in Cataclysm? 🤔
  • @nickv3085
    Stumbled upon your channel back in early dragonflight when I was learning prevoker m+ / raid healing. Thank you for posting these videos. Most others are by bad players, you’re actually a high level player who wants to help others. A rare thing. Cheers

    i mained disc in cata way back in the day. it was the best iteration of disc outside of what it is now
  • I really appreciate this, been struggling to find good healing videos for Cata classic
  • @jamminkeys
    I'm a disc main in Cata too! it's a bit sad how small the range of atonement is, but I think the hybrid style is pretty cool where you still use normal heals

    Great video. I've been looking for Cata healer content for weeks, and there's not a lot. So I was glad to see you make a Cata healer video. I was really torn in what to main as a healer. I ended up playing HPal. Like Disc, pally is also quite different from Wrath. It has an AOE casted Heal, Holy Power mechanic, and Light of Dawn cone healing. I will be playing a few healer alts, too. Anyway, I'll be looking forward to more Cata content from you. I'm glad you're having fun wtih Cata so far.
  • Never played priest in Cata, so I tried disc and...holy shit, this is so far the best iteration of disc priest I played. You can deal damage, you heal with damage AND you can actually heal without doing damage if shit hits the fan. Not the most effective AoE healer, but damn is it fun to beat tanks (and some dps) in dps while having the whole party topped. I heard it's also pretty good for raids, so I might not get to play shadow at all (which was my original idea, but RDF queues were taking too long).

    Really good Video. Im playing disc in cata aswell and im doing fine in dungeons. But as u said, mana is with gear still a issue. I'm really exited to see how healing will be in a 10 men raid.
  • I've been "stance dancing" a lot between fire and will with a simple cast sequence macro and a WA to track which buff is active. This greatly reduces mana for instant cast spells so you just need to try chain instants before swapping back, it also gives a nice speed boost where needed.

    I played disc until I started doing heroics and then it was really a struggle. I did not spec into evangelism because that's just not my preferred playstyle, and I was struggling with how much massive aoe damage everyone takes in the heroics. I think it's partially gear and partially that people simply ignore the mechanics and expect to be healed through it. Either way, I switched to holy and it is way more comfortable while still being interesting doing the "stance dance" with chakra.

    I can't keep my mana up with my disc priest. Seems i am OOM every other pull.
  • @danielpeghini13
    Is atonement a must for disc healing? It’s not what I was for pvp but been struggling to heal heroics atm, not sure if just skill issue on my end
  • I'm playing disc priest for PvP and while shaman can put out more healing, they don't have mass dispel. That's what did it for me. Also, I'm barely geared and I'm like a raid boss in bg's. Last couple of day's I've had a few people just give up on trying to kill me. That being said Unholy dk's are just eating me alive.

    Doing atonement healing is fun af. It's supposed to be bis for 25, I can say in 10s it's not as great. Mana juggling is real. My shammy cranks way higher hps
