I don’t get why everyone says “heal and move”. I only had to move a tiny bit during the hours OE worked on Garalon, no more than most WoW fights. And Mastery combined with Eternal Flame and Beacon is more than enough to cover during those periods.

Kite healer is totally a disc priest job. I let our Holy Pally (also our healing officer) cover for me when we complete the first lap so I can Mana Hymn/Focus Pot, and he’s begging for me to take it back by the 2nd crush. Guess not everybody can heal & move….

Thanks!

I can’t wait to raid again. It’s been over a month now and I’m all lost and sad, haha.

Well, hooray for being right. I feel like I just still lost despite winning, so to speak. Oh well. I didn’t like Holy Prism to begin with, so another nail in that coffin. Thanks for the double check!

Great post Ophelie I heal very similar to how you’ve outlined with the exception of Pre-healing next kiter with an Execution Sentence in addition to Eternal Flame. I love healing and moving on this fight, one of my favorites. Got this bug on farm status

I looked into Battle Healer and yeah, you’re right, unless you’re really doing a lot of melee, the healing is neglectable. Glyph of Divinity is probably a better use of that slot. Will update the post.

Just tested it and you’re absolutely right. Holy Prism generally doesn’t heal off Garalon (and the rare time it does, it just overheals), and even on the leg it doesn’t seem to do much healing. http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/upo3u2jfill5sqye/log/?s=11678&e=12072

Can never go wrong with a Paint diagram!

Eternal Flame should always be tracked. I didn’t include it because it isn’t fight specific.

I like the Battle Healer glyph on high raid damage fights where I can stand close enough to the boss to melee. It doesn’t do a whole lot of healing, but if I’m going to be swinging for some mana back, it’s nice little bonus. Crusader Strike is only 15% of mana as opposed to Holy Shock’s 16% and Holy Radiance’s 36%. In a perfect world, I’d use Divine Lights on my target/Holy Shock/Holy Radiance, but if I need to save mana and I’m swinging at the boss anyway, I will use Crusader Strike.

Glyph on Lay on Hands is indeed always a good option. I really hate Glyph of Divine Plea, though. It might not be as bad anymore now than I’m geared enough for EF to cover the break in healing, but early on in the expansion that Glyph Divine Plea gave me so many ulcers that I dumped it in the garbage and never looked back!
