I just wanted to let you know that I specced deep discipline because 1) I really enjoyed Disc in BC and 2) I regularly group with a ret pally so I just healz. Disc is amazing I love it very much. Never run out of mana. Penance is SO AWESOME! The only downer is there really isn't a viable instant AoE heal, like CoH for full holy priest. Solution: Buy the Holy Nova Glyph. Yeah, it's amazing because when you crit on anyone using Holy Nova, that person gets Divine Aegis. So in an instance 3 ppl can get divine aegis. It's amazing Hey this is A.Y.

But solid rule, if you can stomach it, is don't hit us with PW:S unless our rage is higher than 30. Re: Rage Tanks and PW: Sheild

My strongest advice from the Tank perspective is to wait to use PW:S until after the Warrior lays down their first TC+Shockwave combo or Sheild Slam. But solid rule, if you can stomach it, is don’t hit us with PW:S unless our rage is higher than 30.

They've also amped up tank threat enough that your tank may not have to work as hard for it as they expect. Anyway, the best advice I can give you is to watch your tank's rage bar and see if they look rage starved (or if they start to complain). If so, less Shield and more direct heals. You could also try to explain to your tank that your heals are more effective against folks with Weakened Soul and invite them to click off the shield, but... I think the important thing is to keep the tank happy, so do what you've gotta do! @ Agape – Shielding in 5-mans can be tricky until you get to heroics, when your tanks will begin taking enough damage that a PW:S isn’t going to affect them much except at the very beginning of the fight.

My priest is 65 now, almost completely discipline, and I am having a blast. I can quest by myself (maybe slow, but I don't care), and I healed random groups in Slavepens and (the other one, don't know the English name, sorry) today. But I get asked to stop shielding by warriors because they don't get enough rage if they don't get damage. And while I'm perfectly ready to admit that I'm a noob healer, I still think PW:S is just awesome. Help? :( I have a question which is maybe not important enough for an email, but it vexes me… how do I explain to the random warrior tank in my pug, that I am a better healer if I shield him?
