So last night I made the plunge and switch into a 23/38/0 holy / discipline build. All I can say is wow, my healing rocked. Whether it has been the wealth of experience I have acquired over the past few weeks of adventuring in Outlands instances, or just sheer luck, all I can say is healing Steamvaults using this build was fantastic.
To start things off, I noticed my renews were ticking for a bit over 500 a tick. As a new 70, I felt pretty great about that. My Greater Heals were landing between 3.6k to 3.9k with crits exceeding 5.1k plus providing inspiration J We had a Druid main tank(MT) and a MS warrior off-tank (OT) so I found that dropping a prayer of mending and then a renew on the MT was oftentimes all the healing I needed to do for the first 15-20 seconds of fight. I would then generally follow up with another renew on the MT and spot heal / renew the other group members, or if the MT or OT had taken a pounding start with a Greater Heal and then renew. The wild thing about the run was I never was even close to running out of mana, even on the boss fights, and seldom had to drink between pulls.
I got several caster DPS drops out of Steamvaults, but the neat thing was that I also hit revered with Cenarian Expedition so I was able to purchase a great healing helm. After all was said and done, I logged out last night (self-buffed) with around +915 healing and 109 mp5 while casting. Looking back at my gear progression since dinging 60 2.5 weeks ago, I have to say I am very please and looking forward to improving it as well as my healing skill as I begin to take on every Outlands instance I can group for.
What I'd also like to share was my Alterac Valley (AV) experience that happened just before I went to Steamvaults. It is wild how they have taken out all the NPCs that they first nerfed a few times and now have made it a truly PvP centric battleground. It actually feels a great deal like Eye of the Storm (EotS) now. Anyhow, after having tried for countless days on my other toons, I can say there is nothing quite like healing in AV. I love it! It is awesome to heal people to full health while they unskillfully take down an opponent! I was originally going to eschew PvPing with Less, but now I think I will try to get in a match or two a night just to experience healing in a different and crazy environment.
Looking ahead and behind, I can say that I can't remember having so much fun in instances and battlegrounds with a character as I am having with Lessanna. As I posted the other night, I am planning on doing a 1 to 70 wrap-up sometime soon and just not yet as I hope to write a leveling / gearing guide to benefit the Priest community. Also, I want to cement my feelings into one epic post about the journey, both personal and virtual , with my leveling adventure.
I would consider the Hunter as the most multi-talented out of all the classes in WoW. You can never go wrong with this class as it is sustained by the available talent builds, the pet options, and their high level of expertise. Starting Out Success in this class starts with taking in consideration if your character is right for the job. Take look at your own personal strengths and make sure that they fit the abilities of a hunter. Remember that the hunter class is more than tracking down and shooting animals. Playing this class can be a little tricky if you don't pay attention to its strengths and weaknesses. A hunter can be very effective when it comes to ranged warfare, including the use of bows, guns, or crossbows. They have very strong tracking capabilities, and they know how to fight in order to survive. Pets are used by this class in order to absorb any damage received from attacks. This leaves you more time to play because pets help lessen the damages done to your character. They aren't efficient in melee fighting. It is the weakest part of a hunter's repertoire. This class isn't eligible for armor until you reach level 40, so this you must take this in consideration in the early levels. Now that you know the strengths and weaknesses of a hunter, you can start to formulate your strategy for dealing with enemies. Remember, staying away from danger increases your chances of victory. Invest in a pet as a hunter since they can take the brunt of melee fighting damages. If your enemies get up close and personal, you can let your hunter keep a distance while still dealing damage. Picking the Right Profession for Your Hunter You need to pick a profession that goes well with a hunter's innate abilities. Your best bet is yo go with a skinning and leatherworking combination. This will allow you to make your own armor. Another great combination is mining and skinning, which will let you produce enough money to purchase additional armor and weapons quickly. Don't go with alchemy, tailoring or enchanting. They are incredibly useful for other classes, there's not enough benfits for a hunter. Another good choice for a profession is herbalism, which will allow you to make your own healing potions. This is very useful in melee fighting when you're still without a pet. The Weapons As previously stated, the hunter excels at ranged warfare. Concentrate on bows and crossbows, and guns if you have the skill. Initially, you'll get a pretty basic bow, but as you progress through the levels, you can purchase a better one that will let you earn you more skill and increase your accuracy help. You can also get several other ranged weapons as you complete quests.
