Trinkets are interesting items. They have different abilities and uses best suited for the situation at hand. Here is the majority of trinkets that I believe us healers would be interested in the most and my initial thoughts on them. I’ve even recommended a few of them for us Priests!
Soul Preserver: Kill Mal’Ganis in CoT: Stratholme, and you might get this decent trinket. This one of the first trinkets I acquired at 80 and it served me well. I had a lot of mana problems early on and this helped ease the pain. Resto Druids may wish to look at this trinket as well. I don’t know if it procs off of HoT ticks or just spell casts. Comments on WoW Head reveal that it has no internal cooldown either. It can also proc off of every jump from Chain Heal for the Resto Shamans.

When I finished off Grizzly Hills, I was a few bars into 75. To be fair, I did run a few normal instances to knock out the quests that were within them. In this week’s post, I’ll give you a quick glance of the last areas and what you can start working on once you reach 80 (such as instances and gearing for raids).
Zones of interest
Zul’Drak – Priests will have a field day in this zone. On one side, you’re going up against Scourge forces trying to take over the Troll capital. On the other side, there’s renegade Trolls running loose. Your Shackle Undead is going to come in great use here if find yourself getting overrun and overwhelmed.

Welcome to Northrend! Ready to take on Arthas? Here is a quick primer on the road to 80. For part 1, we’ll look at an example leveling spec (which isn’t Shadow), early spells, different zones, and some tips.
Spec
My personal spec of choice has always been to go a combination of Holy and Discipline. I can still maintain a decent pace soloing and I can still remain viable in instance healing. Believe me, as a non-Shadow Priest leveling, there will never be a shortage of players looking for healers for an instance.

When Mind Sear is used with inner focus, The mana cost is reduced 100% and it gains a 25% crit chance per tick. This part is intentional. Now for the little bug, The first time you use mind sear, it isn’t consumed, not sure how many times you can use it, but I’ve had a free 25% crit mind sear 3 times in a row before. Just cast it as normally and let it channel, near the end (1 second remaining) recast it.
Tl;Dr for those who want this in steps
Step 1: Cast Inner Focus
Step 2: Cast Mind sear, let channel until 1 sec remaining
Step 3: Recast Mind sear
Repeat.

Since 3.0.3, (the patch today) Borrowed time was changed to not go away for instant casts, and increase the spell haste of the next CAST. But, it now is bugged and doesn’t go away on instant casts, but it also reduces the Global cooldown as well. Just thought you priests skipping out on this might want to try the talent, this isn’t a repost, this is not working as intended, read the talent if you think it is working as intended.

Over the past weekend, I had a chance to try out Discipline in full with the new spells and expanded tree on both live and beta servers. How did it go?
Black Temple is slowly being rotated out of schedule. We’ve started to devote our main raiding days to Sunwell (and I’m happy to say that we took down Kalecgos, Brutallus, and Felmyst over the past week since the nerf hit). Black Temple would now be held on off nights allowing social players and alts to have a crack at it. This meant I could switch out to an experimental spec. I opted for the 56/5/0 build.
Key Glyphs
I had to make sure I picked out the right Glyphs that would benefit me the most under this spec. The various Scribers in my guild were hard at work power leveling and several of them were at the point of almost maxing out.

They added this new spell to Gamon that can be used on friendly players to, and it’s a kick that knocks people and guards and NPC’s back by 5 yards, and has only GCD. It can be really amazing.

Not quite sure how this works but if you stand next to the battlemasters in TB your able to win any duel vs. a priest…
Basically the way i’ve found this works is you get some priest who you don’t like to come duel you by the battlemasters in TB, place a wager on the fact you’ll win even if he massively out gears you…
1. Duel
2. I’m a rogue so i sapped
3. The priest trinketed the sap and feared to try to find me
4. Strand of the Ancients Battlemaster joins in the duel and rapes the priest
5. Profit from the winnings
