Hey everybody

I would like to ask you for help regarding my discipline priestess, because I still believe not to have taken everything out of my character (especially gameplay?) My guild is raiding the 25 man content and has got 5/13 Hc bosses down.

Some facts and data:

Some logs:

My Problems:
Regarding my performance the bosses Atramedes, the Dragon sibling pairs and Omnitron represent the biggest challenge for me.
Thank you very much in advance for any proposal you might have and best regards

As far as the logs go, your output... doesn't appear to be experiencing observable shortcomings... Do you feel otherwise?

Blanket Shielding, however, is due for heavy limitations in the upcoming patch, leading to filler spells becoming consistently mandatory. As such, I suggest you familiarize yourself with Atonement and Archangel ahead of time.

I'll be happy to assist with specific scenarios that come to your mind, but as it is I can't quite seem to put my finger on the supposed problem areas. What is it you find yourself uncomfortable with?

Hey Jhazrun

I'm sorry that I answer only now but the holidays and my family got me a little stressed...

My main task at our raids (hc) is keep up shields on everybody but it is often hard to deal with mana. However, I am not able to keep all shields up in the final phase at chimaeron (damage dealer and me). I try to cast my shields so that I might save 1) the player with the shield, which would otherwise die or 2) with my shields intercept the incoming damage to the other healers to unload (red phases and last phase at maloriak).

Are there still opportunities to get more Mana by changing my gear, as not always cds are available?

With the upcoming patch I will follow your advice and will try to use Atonement and Archangel again. Should I reforg my mastery to hast or would it work with mastery? I was under the pace for this spec would be a better stat because more dmg with pain or now fire means more heal....

You can't. Make your most of those you do give out.

Regardless of shielding, the raid isn't expected to survive for long.

There's nothing wrong with your gearing.

Haste will gain relative value with the patch, but I don't see it prioritized. Discipline will remain mana-throttled.
