Well, folks, even those of us who have done this expansion before will make mistakes. Here’s the biggest one I’ve made so far in Wrath…<\/p>\n

I use Grid and Clique. Actually, that’s now Plexus<\/strong> and Clique. With Clique, you can define various spells to be cast with various mouse clicks and various modifiers on whatever frames you like. So I don’t have it enabled for my player frames (my frame, my target, etc), but I do have it for the Grid\/Plexus layout. Using this combination has made me so much of a better healer, I can’t even really express it.<\/p>\n

So when I was playing in Classic (and an itty bitty bit in BC), I had my binds all set up. Right click for Holy Light, left click for Flash of Light, Ctrl-4 (thumb button) for Lay on Hands, various other spells bound to other keys.<\/p>\n

I noticed, twice, during my dungeon runs, that my various bindings did not all work. “Oh, I thought, I must have misremembered what the bind was.” You can even see me looking at the binds in this video (at about 12:20)<\/a>. Can anyone see what the issue is? Just watch it for a bit. Take a good look. I’ll wait.<\/p>\n

Any thoughts? Here, let me paste a close up of my bindings here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyone see it? I didn’t. It took me days<\/em> to figure it out.<\/p>\n

The problem, my dear readers, is that I had not updated my bindings. Flash of Light worked fine. Holy Light did too. Holy Shock and Lay on Hands, all good. And Cleanse and Beacon, too!<\/p>\n

But Blessing of Sacrifice, Blessing of Protection and Blessing of Freedom? No. They weren’t working.<\/p>\n

I confirmed it in a run with my brother (that’s right, I roped Fog into playing and tanking for me!) when I hit Blessing of Sacrifice (Ctrl-Right Button) and it just didn’t work. And then we were outside the instance testing and testing our frames and threat plates and all kinds of stuff and I’m like “WHY IN THE HELL IS HAND OF SACRIFICE NOT WORKING?!?!” as I slammed the keybind over and over and over again.<\/p>\n

And I paused.<\/p>\n

And I looked at the binding again.<\/p>\n

The issue is that I had bound Blessing<\/strong> of Sacrifice and Blessing <\/strong>of Protection and Blessing<\/strong> of Freedom. I had not bound Hand<\/strong> of Sacrifice, Protection and Freedom. BLESSING<\/strong>. Of course all of these worked in Vanilla and BC! They were still BLESSINGS then! Wrath’s pre-patch changed them to Hands! And I knew that had happened. I even talked to my brother about them the other night.<\/p>\n

AND YET I MISSED THIS. So yeah, your friendly neighbourhood holy paladin has been running around for a few weeks with no Hands bound because she is, on occasion, a dingbat.<\/p>\n

Check your keybinds\/clique binds, folks.<\/p>\n

(PS: Videos with Fog coming as soon as we actually have a run that’s halfway decent to share.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
