“Who complain about warlock lifetapping…”

I started play WoW last year and rolled a Warlock as my first toon and have played it since. Being a demo lock I have a very bad mana pool and need to lifetap constant, both to keep the pool up and convert spirit to SP. This seems to be annoying to some healers and they start complaining, I can still rememeber a couple of occations and they were holy paladins This never happens in raids, only HC.

A month ago I decided I need an alt to fill my times between raids, so I rolled a Paladin and leveled as retri. I reached 80 just 2 weeks ago and dual specced into holy. I really enjoy healing with my holy pala but still have a lot to learn and gearing up. This site has been very useful, thanx for all the info and effort going into keeping it up.

@ jugulator:

It is normal for a pally to overheal more than he heals. Some bosses hit so hard and fast that if you reactivly try to heal the tank they will die before your heal goes off.
Ending the fight at full mana with no overheal and half the raid dead is worse than having 90% overheal and almost no mana left but having everyone still alive.

Half mana bar? how much mana do you have? 8K? and why would you glyph that anyway, there are much better pally glyphs.

-Please just dont Hand of protection the guy who is currently tanking the boss. Dont DI him either.

…Who overheals more than he healed
…Who is smart enough to think the others should come in his range instead him going in their range
…Who uses divine plea when the boss enrages and/or the tank is dying
…Who uses Lay on Hands to heal instead of gaining half mana bar
…Who doesn’t remember he has the bubble + heartstone when the others are boons and don’t know the tactics

Threat in Faction Champions is governed by three things:

1. Armor (for physical) or Resistances (for magic)
2. Proximity
3. Health Deficit

As a holy pally on faction champs, if I beacon myself I’m almost guaranteed to not get targetted, as long as I keep my distance/get out of whirlwind/etc. Because my health stays up, I am therefore able to focus more on healing and cleansing the raid rather than running for my life from a mob who decided to pick on me. I recommend beaconing yourself as a holy pally on this fight for this reason. But pretty much every other fight I do, I have beacon on someone else.

I definitely miss this when I switch over to a clothie alt, where I *do* wind up running for my life too often.

We actually do this:
“…who uses Shadow Resistance Aura while everyone has Shadow Protection.”
on Twins Valkyr 25 Heroic - cause of Aura Mastery

And yes, we ofc. have enough palas to all other auras meanwhile

“…who still puts Beacon on yourself.”

I use beacon on myself only when tank-healing Algalon 25-man. The other paladin puts beacon on tank and helps raid-healing. We find it better to have at least one paladin direct healing the tank currently in aggro.

In Faction Champions fight I usually put beacon on a warlock taking constant damage. In that fight beacon has a great tactic advantage: you can heal the beaconed also when largely out of range (it happens very often).

Forgot to say - thanks - great site.

Good idea on the Champs fight - using an unusual spec for such a non-standard PvE fight! Maybe a PvP Healadin spec - or even some kind of Sheeth spec?! My second spec is sitting unused at the moment - might have a play and see what I come up with!
