The disc priest was key for this and our normally Rejuvenation-happy resto druid was happily using Regrowth and Nourish on tanks while maintaining hots on the raid along with the holy priest&#8217;s renews and some shields from the disc.<\/p>\n<p>One-shotted.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that we also cast Hand of Protection on the first three casters to get Boiling Blood to delay the first mark&#8217;s cast &#8212; and if it was on us, we bubbled ourselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>best 3.3pally holy shield drops from heroics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sadly, there <em>is<\/em> no good healing shield from heroics. The best healing shield you can get outside of raid content is from REGULAR Pit of Saron, off Tyrannus. It&#8217;s called the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=49821\" target=\"_blank\">Protector of Frigid Souls<\/a> and is ilvl 219. That puts it on par with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=45682\" target=\"_blank\">Pulsing Spellshield<\/a> from 10-man XT-002 Deconstructor in Ulduar, except I rate the PS higher, due to the haste.<\/p>\n<p>The next step up is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=40401\" target=\"_blank\">Voice of Reason<\/a> from Naxx 25, off Kel&#8217;Thuzad. For anything else, you&#8217;re looking at Trial of the Crusader and ICC. Or, if you have 1800+ team and personal ratings, you can get an arena shield.<\/p>\n<p>More shield choices <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/items=4.6&amp;filter=qu=4;minle=219;cr=123;crs=1;crv=0#0-2+1\" target=\"_blank\">here at WoWHead<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>blessing of protection work on magic buffett<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nope. That&#8217;s physical damage only. Magic Buffet is a magical effect that increases magical damage taken. Also not removable with Divine Shield.<\/p>\n<p><strong>curse of tongues putricide<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Good question! I&#8217;m really not sure. Anyone have an idea?<\/p>\n<p><strong>getting flasks to proc on creation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no rhyme or reason for it. It happens sometimes. It doesn&#8217;t happen most of the time. You need to be an Elixir Master alchemist for it to even have a chance, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>hand of salvation marrowgar bone spike<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hm. Not really going to have much of an effect. Hand of Sacrifice, on the other hand (ha, ha, see what I did there?) would likely transfer 30% of that person&#8217;s incoming damage to you. ;)<\/p>\n<p><strong>haste cap holy paladin 3.3.3 patch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>676 for Flash of Light paladins with Swift Retribution\/Imp Moonkin auras and Wrath of Air totem. And the sky&#8217;s the limit for Holy Light bombers!<\/p>\n<p><strong>vile gas on rot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It sucks, doesn&#8217;t it? Same general rule as on Fester, 8 people out at range to prevent Vile Gas from being dropped on melee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>what buffs should i have up on my holy pally \/ what buffs does a druid give a paladin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A holy paladin is at their maximum healing potential with the following buffs (and their greater\/raid-wide versions):<\/p>\n<p>Blessing of Kings<br \/>\nImproved Blessing of Wisdom\/Improved Mana Spring Totem<br \/>\nArcane Intellect<br \/>\nMark of the Wild<br \/>\nMoonkin Aura\/Elemental Oath (5% spell crit)<br \/>\nImproved Moonkin Aura\/Swift Retribution (3% spell\/melee haste)<br \/>\nWrath of Air Totem (5% spell haste)<br \/>\nDemonic Pact\/Totem of Wrath\/Flametongue Totem (additional spellpower)<br \/>\nImproved Devotion Aura\/Tree of Life (increased healing done)<\/p>\n<p>So druids, depending on which spec, can help out pallies a lot &#8212; Mark of the Wild from any of them, plus Moonkin\/Imp Moonkin Aura or Tree of Life. Good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to talk consumables:<\/p>\n<p>Holy Light paladin: Flask of Distilled Wisdom (65 intellect) or Guru&#8217;s Elixir (20 to all stats) AND Elixir of Mighty Thoughts (45 intellect) &amp; Imperial Manta Steak or Very Burnt Worg (40 haste).<\/p>\n<p>Flash of Light paladin with proper raid buffs and 676 haste: Flask of the Frost Wyrm &amp; any food that gives 46 spellpower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>when to call for cleanse on rotface<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We generally cleanse (on heroic mode) at about 3 seconds. The person gets the infection. They get a disc shield. They run towards the OT. As they are running, they get cleansed. We do NOT tend to cleanse on normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gotta love Tuesdays. I spent some time doing 3v3 arenas tonight and we got our little team up to 1400.
