Play to your strengths The internet is a great place to complain about everything, and the shortcomings of the priest class are definitely a discussion that comes up frequently here. But whether you agree or disagree with me (or anyone) about how priests are now (or ever), you should always remember to play to your strengths. That means looking at your best spells (Power Word: Shield, Penance, Circle of Healing, Empowered Renew right now, for exampe) and finding ways to apply them to what you're doing and wow account buy. If you're a Renew-centric holy priest, for example, don't try to convince your 10-man raid that you should be keeping up the tanks. Hit the raid up instead, and let the druid try her hand at single target heals. (Druids can do more than HoTs, contrary to popular belief. They're exceptional healers, some of them just get grumpy about casting Nourish.)
Basically, what this comes down to is your ability to adapt, which is actually good advice to all healers. As this game changes and evolves, so will your strengths and weaknesses. As a priest, you will see many ups and downs and you should always be willing to try out new styles of healing to account for the shifts.
Cancel casts This topic especially is one I've wanted to discuss for a while but knew I'd never be able to turn into a full feature. Canceling casts is when you stop casting a spell you were casting by moving, jumping, or using a stop casting macro. Some might say canceling casts goes against Penance Priest's ABC (always be casting) advice, which I advocate, but I personally advise for the use of cancel casting for efficiency. Sure, mana isn't an issue now (though yes, it will be an issue later) but even still, canceling a bad cast will save you time if you're quick about it; saving time means saving lives.
Assuming you're canceling a cast spell (as opposed to a channel spell) you will immediately reset the global cooldown which was in process, leaving you free to cast something else. (For this reason, I do not recommend you jump to cancel a cast, as you will have to wait to land before you can begin casting again.) In addition to resetting your GCD, you will not consume any mana until your cast is finished, so there isn't any penalty for doing it. wow account
Heal pets You can blame Frostheim for this one. In honesty though, you can and should heal pets, just make sure that you're not ignoring any of your other duties before you do. All other members of the raid (except that terrible DPS warrior who just ran off the side of the Frozen Throne) get healing priority over pets. However, that doesn't mean you can't toss pet heals or a dispel when you have the GCD to spare. Pets are another member of the raid, and the death of one can equate to a DPS loss.
Prioritize regen when your gear is bad At low levels and when you first hit 80, mana is going to be what holds you back. To keep up with your party (or better geared players) you'll want to have as much regeneration as you can to stay operational in fights. Gear with your regen stat of choice, plus trinkets, gems, flasks and buff food will help you endure each encounter until your gear eventually fills in the gaps.
Don't
Refuse to explore your other healing spec Basically, don't be a holy priests who trash talks discipline as an inferior spec without ever trying it out for yourself. Likewise, don't be a discipline priest who thinks holy is a stuffy, old codger of a spec. If you enjoy healing you should be able to appreciate the strengths of each one, if you try them. I used to detest holy because all I saw were a bunch of nose-in-the-air holy priests who couldn't even match their actions to their words. When I started to try out holy for myself and really get a feel for it, I found potential in it that all the priests I had known before never showed me. Nowadays, I wish I could play holy more wow account.
Hold onto regen like a childhood keepsake When you're struggling to get quality gear, then like I said before, go ahead and prioritize regen. On the other hand, if you're catching up on your gear and have a nice healer trinket or two, why not try skipping some intellect gems or spirit gear in favor of spellpower or haste? I say this again and again, but really consider how much mana you have at the end of an average fight and if you have quite a bit, you can probably cut back on regen stats. Push yourself, and your gameplay to see what you're capable of with less.
Forget to look at your mana bar You don't ever want to be surprised that you've gone OOM. If you keep an eye out on your mana, you'll be able to strategically plan your Hymn of Hope and Shadowfiend usage, so that you're never running up against a tricky spot in the encounter while running on empty. If you have trouble watching your mana, set up Power Auras, or an advanced combat text addon (like MikScrollingBattle Text) to scream at you when you're a 30% mana (or whatever percentage you want to set it to.)
Conclusion
So that's it, now I can cross off all those drifting ideas in my notebook. Unless of course you all think there is anything in here that needs more attention. If you have any questions, your own "do's and don't's," or just want to argue out something with me, feel free to leave a comment and get a discussion started.
