As you might have guessed if you knew I played World of Warcraft, I play a priest. Specifically, I’m a dwarf priest, discipline spec. Just recently after devoting quite a few weeks to building up the arena points and honor points necessary, I purchased my new Merciless Gladiator’s Salvation (a really awesome healing mace) and the Vindicator’s Mooncloth Belt (one of the best healing belts available.) This also boosted my resilience to 298 and pushed me to upwards of 12k health, not to mention give me an extra 300 +healing.
So what about this merits a post? Well, It means I’m not so squishy anymore. For the last two years, I’ve been the stereotypical healing priest (read: Free Honor Kill) and now that they’ve given me focused will, pain suppression, and quite a few other nifty little gimmicks, I’m not so easy to kill anymore (with melee, that is. Mages and Warlocks still kinda eat me.) This means I’m actually coming to enjoy playing WoW again instead of taking solace in the fact that I have awesome heals for PvE content.
As such, here’s a quote that should give you an idea as to why I chose “BattlePope” as my avatar…
“A Priest is a battle-scarred cigar-smoking battle-pope with pure testosterone in his veins taking your best shot and then punching his fist down your throat.” – Shaithara

“with melee, that is. Mages and Warlocks still kinda eat me”
Now I am surprised – how might a MAGE kill a disc priest?
Manaburn makes the go so badly OOM, that you can kill them with your MACE?
Oh, and you might differentiate a bit between arena (which is not all about healing
) and raid healing or group healing. Because although the mace is pretty viable till T6 content, the belt is not at all good for it.

@Dionadar – true, true, mages have a lot harder time killing me but that burst damage makes me cringe. That and counterspell. On another note, I’m a very arena-oriented priest. Healing raids is like whack-a-mole on “slow” and healing instances is like dealing with four whiny babies, one of which keeps pooping every three minutes (a.k.a. Tank.) ^_^
