Healing Priest strategies in PvP BG - 2006/01/30 20:42
Trying to figure out a viable strategy in PvP for me as a Holy/Disc. raid specced Priest.
This is my general outline which I have found pretty funactional.
Some Important Rules:
1. Always stick to the biggest pile of friendly players. Not that they will protect you, but their instinct sais to kill the closest enemy - which will be a charging warrior or a rouge - which happens to be your attacker. Heal yourself insanely.
2. Use mods: CT_raid assist emergency monitor + decursive.
3. Always assume you are primary target of attacks, so stay always 10 yards away from the front.
4. Shield yourself as often as possible when you feel threat.
5. Don't try to "rescue" other players by running in and heal them. Non healers PvP do not care about you - let them die. Stay at your "safe" spot in the middle of another group of players.
6. When close to OOM - run far away from any battle. Preferably into NPC:s (who will normally protect you better then other players) or simply find a good place to hide.
7. Rouges (curse them) are easily killed by (after stunned):
To kill a rouge:
* Fear
* Shield
* DoT
* Flash Heal
* Renew
* Run the oposite direction. Repeat this sequance until the rouge is dead from the DoT. I rarely loose a duel agains a rouge this way.
8. Use Greater Heal on heavily wounded targets - perferably tanks. Flash heal on all casters. Use on emergency monitor - which will give you more to heal than on the average raid!
9. DoT everyting.
10. When close to NPC, do wand damage. Don't heal too much.... NPC get aggro from you immediately and you will find yourself primary target as players fight other players rather than helping you out.
11. Players whispering you for heals are on auto reply: "Use a pot, take a bandage".
12. Find a group that play with their brains and participate in taking objectives rather than "meat grinding at the front".
13. Remember, you get honor based on "participation" - which means that if you damage (Dot or Wand) you get honor... OR .. if you heal an attacking unit. So rather than focusing on a single unit - use emergency monitor and heal EVERYTING within range.... That will get you most honor possible along with dotting up everything you see.
14. Your survival is your priority #1. Not other players. A dead healer is a bad healer.
I hope this can be of help to you other healing PvP priest as our life is miserable in every sense in PvP.... And save a Prayer of Healing for the next patch.
