Spec



Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

There are two remaining talent points for a reason. After looking at 3-5 Different 39 Twink guilds with Healadins, I've noticed a lot of them do something different with the last two remaining talent points, My advice would use them how you would like to.

This spec is an alternative spec, but not the most popular. I suggest the first one.

Notes



Heirloom Items Scale Use this Link to find the stats on BoA Gear.



Your primary healing spell is flash of light. It heals great and it hardly costs any mana. Avoid casting Holy light, if you feel the need to cast it, pop one of your CDs, Holy Light will burn your mana pool.



Cap your mana pool at 2500. Capping at around 2500 is a good average, it allows you to have about 2600-2800 Life and 200-220 SP. Each cast costs about 50-60 Mana, if you have around 2500 mana, that lets you cast about 40-50 times, healing at a total of 20K - 25k life in a single Mana Pool. Going to about 2600 Mana requires you to let go of some of your health and SP slightly, which will drop your overall Healing. ViceVersa for if you Cap at 2400 Mana, Increases your health and SP slightly, but reduces your number of casts. (This is disregarding Mp5).



Your a tank, not a clothy. Healadins are considered the best mana-control classes. Meaning you can usually OOM a caster or/and other healers before you oom. Naturally, you can beat most casters(depending on the situation). But there are Melee classes too, the best thing you can do is stack mail armor. The Minimal Armor rating I posted was 2477. This will give you exactly 40% Reduced Melee Damage. I suggest you go around 3000-3100, which will give you about a 45% reduced Melee damage. If your spec'd for it, your righteous fury will give you an addition 6% reduced damage to all. This will give you now 51% reduced damage from melee. Now Casters and melee users will have troubles killing you. THIS IS YOUR GOAL AS A HEALADIN



Do not heal large groups. Priests and Druids are great for healing Large groups, especially druids. If you are healing a group of people by yourself, do not go over 5 people(including yourself). You will drain your mana pool fast by challenging yourself like this. And because you are a single-target healer, your area of expertise remains within a small group of people.



Manage your spells. There are healing addons such as Healbot that are useful for managing your spells. These types of addons have a lot of great utilities. They allow you to see your teammates life, If they are in LoS or not, Current buffs/HoTs, and more.



Arena This is a minor exception to my Stats-Rule. When playing in arena, stack as much much mail gear as possible. If you click on my Arena Build, you will notice that you have an insane amount of armor. The reasoning behind this is because in WSG, you aren't always targeted, so it's okay to use A LITTLE cloth/leather without becoming a clothadin. However, in Arena, your odds of being attacked are increased tremendously. Everyone knows there are Melee users and Casting users. Melee users are not uncommon, and in the 39 bracket, stunlocking is very popular. For most situations, you will find a class that can stunlock you in some way. While your stunlocked, you cannot heal. If you were to start getting ganged by a melee user, HAVING A CRAP TON OF ARMOR WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!!! DONT BE A CLOTHADIN IN ARENA!!!. Not just stunlocking, people will fear you, silence you, charm you, etc. Stacking armor is your key to survival for both you and your partner(s). Lastly, while sarcraficing a small ammount of Spell Power, you still manage to have a lot of stamina and intellect AND Spell power.

I know I already posted a 39 twink guide, but I was not updated on the current gearing/spec/playing in 39 twink healadins. I hope this guide is much more helpful than my last.

*Variety of builds

*Armories of your retadin and others.

*Tips on WSG and Arena and 1o1 Fighting.

*Macros





Thank you again!

 

[lindenkron]

This looks very promishing. May I suggest adding some sort of 'star system' for the rarity of an item as well? For example, getting Lens of Healing is a lot easier than the MhotD.

 

[Mrcer]

*Updates*



*New Color Coded System added

- Rarity of each item

 

[lindenkron]

But but.. I liked the old system as well. Was just suggesting an additional system <3



Btw general question; What is so "Rare" about lens? Can't it be made by any Engineer? ( don't know a lot bout this subject! )



Edit: Oh I see what you did now lol, colours in the stars ;o Clever.

 

[Mrcer]

I made anything without a specific stat-table rare, IE: Green Lens of "blank", Ancient Legguards of "blank".



This is because there are people who have tried 50+ times to make Green Lens of Healing, and got something else. While others it only took 2 or 3 tries. This is the same with revelosh drops, Revelosh is easy to farm but you won't always get the item you want, let alone the stats.



This also can be related to BoE items that drop randomly. Underworld Band has a very low drop rate, but that doesn't mean it's hard to find on the AH. For some servers, people have to wait months just to see one Underworld Band in the AH. Sure if you have thousands of gold then it's pretty easy to get if its on AH, but SOMETIMES it won't always be in the AH and you will have to wait a long time.



That is why it is considered Rare.





=D

 

[Mrcer]

*Updates*



*New Healing Build w/out BoA's.



I still need a few more things however:



*More Recommendations/Ratings on the Healadin Guide

*Private Message on forums for 39 retadin talent-builds.



Thank you and keep commenting please!

Arena Grand Master - Item - World of Warcraft

You should remove all the "- Item - World of Warcraft" and add "[]" soo all the link's look like this [Arena Grand Master] and maybe even add color to the item's. Like [Arena Grand Master].



I also think you should remove the enchantments that there's no enchantments in for example head. If you dont want to remove all of them atleast remove the neck and trinket since it never existed any enchantments to them.

 

[Regulate]

me no likey ur specs, i recon sumat like Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft is more usefull imo anyways.

 

[Mrcer]

Thank you for stating that talent caculator!



Thats a great spec and was used back before the illumination was nerfed! However the survival and overhealing is not worth the silence and interuption reduction. And Mana is also not a problem for healadins in the 39 bracket. and In the 39 bracket, people stack stamina over most stats. Therefore, stacking stamina/SP/Armor over int is the correct way to go. having no more than 2600 int and no less than 2400 is where most healadins want to be. There is a greater chance that you will run out of life before you run out of mana. Thats why in my guides my twinks have around 2.8k+ life and only 2.4-2.5k mana and still hitting 200+ SP.



This is the current spec that most healadins use:



Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft



The only thing is in my guide, i left a few talents unused because someone people dont like the improved divine sacrafice and like to have another talent in increased devotion aura and even hammer of justice or increased armor.



I like your spec tho and thanks for submitting your thoughts and I will add the spec to the guide however it is not BiS for the survival of WSG / Arena. The additional 6% reduced damage, 2% increased armor/ reducing slow effects by 6%, 4% increased healing from improved devotion aura, and reducing all damage from all sources by 20% for your teammates(especially your FC) is far better than reducing the silencing and interuption effects by 30% and increased Intellect.



As for you elocoon, I am still working on your request and it will be shown soon

 

[ForTheLichKing]

Nice Guide, definately good as full commit Healpally. I play mine - see Sig below - as an hybrid, thats why Ive specced 3 Points in Spiritual Focus - and need only to change gear if I wanna heal instead of doing some damage, for at level 39 you dont have any crucial healer talents (no Holy Shock ), so my hybrid spec is working fine, sure you will never be as good as a dedicated heal, but this loss of healing potential is negligible (imO).



There is, however, one suggestion I want to add, and its about the glyphs:

For PvP as a Pally, I strongly recommend the Hammer of Justice one (the one increasing its range by 5 yards) - its huge, even as a healer. As a Pally you are excellent at chasing down ppl (Judgement of Justice), but unfortunately its range is only 10yards (like your Hammer if unglyphed). So why not increase your Hammers by 5 additional yards? Then you can hammer someone if hes out of range for a Judgement - its incredible useful, imO.



sofar,
