ToGC10 Fully Cleared
For several weeks, I have been unable to run ToGC10 with my guild. The first week I missed was the night I had no electricity til 4 am. Then after that, I didn't get an invite for whatever reason. I assume it's due to my spec. So on Friday, my guild tried what someone suggested to me about going shadow for Anub with 2 healers, a druid and a pally. This worked great every time…til phase 3. In phase 3, there was too much raid damage going around. So the guild leader and I put our heads together and this is what we came up with. Bear with me because this is a strange strategy but it worked.
Using 3 healers in phase 1 and 2 of Anub is overkill. That's why most strategies tell you to use two. My first job as the discipline priest was to drop the Frost Spheres. This way the dps could focus on the boss and adds and we didn't have a healer sitting around doing nothing. After dropping the four spheres in the four corners (basically) of the room, I targeted the boss and smite spammed his ass. That's right, smite spam. Well....more like holy fire, penance, smite spam. Anyway, point is this. I dpsed hard core, making sure to use my Arcane Torrent whenever it was up. When the boss got to 35% (and we had plenty of time), I shielded the entire raid. Then I waited for a few sec for my group to get to 50% and popped Power Infusion, healing them with Prayer of Healing. After Power Infusion went down, I pulled out the shadowfiend for mana and a tiny bit of extra damage. Then I rotated between using Prayer of Healing and shielding my group. When I got to 50% mana again, the boomkin tossed me an innervate. Not sure why, but he paid attention to my shadowfiend and when I had already used it and I was at 50%, he was gave me an innervate. Needless to say, I did NOT run out of mana.
Once I got my rotation down, my group did not die. The amusing thing is that the tanks were in the group the druid healer was focusing on. So...the druid's group had him and the pally healer on it. Yet they were the ones dying. Not my group. But after Dema and I organized this strange strategy we downed him in only a few attempts. I felt good after that night. But I still want to know how groups 2 heal this. Our pally+druid couldn't do it, and that's supposedly the best comp.
Last night was 25 man raid night. We wiped on Faction Champions for 4 hours. This is the only fight in the game I hate. But I did notice something that made me happy. At the end of the night, my dispels for the entire raid was at 955. The next closest was a holy priest who goes discipline for FC at 611.
Yeaaaaah, I think I've secured my raid spot for a long time.
