WPs, melee healing/DPS and VL Boss 8

[konfuzfanten]

So this is more or less a post for Poleaxe :)

Attack rotation:
Castigation(should ALWAYS be up), Sigmar's Vision, Weight of Guilt(optional, a good dmg ability but nothing more). When these three are on CD spam Divine Strike. [note: if you are using the tactic Grace of Sigmar you should also use Sigmars Radiance]
Start using Hammer of Sigmar when the boss gets to 50% (HoS should always be on CD when the boss is under 50%)

Save divine assault for when the MT goes under 60% health.

Dps/heal-Spec:

Heal/dps-spec:
http://www.wardb.com/career.aspx?id=12#0:0:12:2080:13:8320:29:8292:8276 :8293:585::::694:8303:696:697

Tactics:

Divine fury: will only debuff your cast heals. Your melee heals will on the other hand be 25% more powerful.
Hastened divinity: the best pve boss fight tactic. Auto attack will do most of your dmg in boss fight so this tactic is a must have for any dps-wp.
Fanaticism: 15% more crit = more dmg+more heals = win!
Guilty soul: more dmg.
Grace of sigmar: only use this if your MT is taking a lot of dmg and your main healer cant handle through it.
Subtlety: useless tactic when you melee heal, as Subtlety only effects cast heals.


On gear:

Stack str, melee crit and melee power then ws. The more dmg, the more heals you do. Melee heals is only effected by the amount of dmg you can do.
WP, heal power + heal crit is useless in melee healing.
Its relatively easy to get melee crit on WPs so try and stack str by using as many set +str as you can.
Melee cloak+jewel set from lotd is easy to get and very good.
2-hander Sandstorm hammer, LV 2-hander or lotd tombs 2-hander is the minimum standard weapon.


Note:

Always use prayer of righteousness in pve!
If you melee heal you need a guard since you will be an aggro magnet.
Use M2 – Divine Replenishment as often as you can.


I know we have some good WPs and some of you (Prelate, Lynn, Ovation, panicbutton) knows more about WP dps then i do so if you have any suggestion plz go ahead.

You should really try Divine Petitioning tactic...
it's current implementation is.... the opposite of what it actually says...
Making it excellent, for melee dps WPs.

@Lynn: Could you inspect Poleaxe and see how he could improve DPS wise (sharing gear template, tactics and specs)

@Klang: seeing the demise of few groups running VL, any advice you could give to them.

You managed to kill 8 with Kiltz in it. As a main tank who has been successful in clearing VL (even with pickup groups!), what is to you the ideal setup/classes to run with. Obviously with the CQ change you'd want a BW in it. What else?

@ Ovation
Thank you for your kind help in this matter it is much appreciated mate.

Lynn is online you can reach him now on vent. I just did tomb of the sun with him and his bro. We 4man it for lolz.

I think he can really be a good asset for you about Warrior Priest DPS/Melee healing.

combine conq and invader such as conq boots , conq helm, conq chest, invader gloves, invader belt and invader shoulder.

conq boots gives you +3 crit
invader shoulder gives you +3 crit reduction
invader gloves gives you +23 melee power
3x conq and 3 x invader gives you set bonus 2xstr and 2x wound.

get 5xmight, 5x assault from reknown trainer, you need as much str as possible.

use crit talis on shoulder, melee power on gloves, rest with str. str and ws on 2h weapon.

when u reach sovereign stage, combine sovereign with tyrant.
