lack of gear in RG2

[Bastet]

i only use my FR on the first of the 3 drakes in BWL, where i have arround 250, and NR on huhuran where i have arround 290. All other fights i do in my DPS gear, cept for the few i need the ony cloak to avoid getting cooked by shadowflame

[Alaha]

All healers are already fully occupied and priests spam heal prayer of healing on the non-tanking groups Stront. In any case, priests should not be taking large fire damage - if they do then they are tanking!
 
Re Jeebus comments, you may be the only priest wearing that level of FR for that fight Jeeb. I may be totally wrong here, but I believe Luna uses just standard gear here, so you could be severely nerfing your healing with the FR you are wearing. Your HP should be sufficient to survive some damage and then rely solely on PoH to keep you up as it is spam healed the whole fight.

well there is a great diffrence between taking 1400 fire damage than ( 1400 fire damage, 1200 resisted ) and btw all RG1 priests have their full tie1 and tie2 to sawp for diffrent fights that requires resistance... all i want to say is you are as a mage in really good hands thats why you dont need mutch fire rez for that fight.

As Paladin i use a minimum of FR for this fight. I have my Aura and thats like 60 and then the gear boost me to around 90-something, and that seems PLENTY for this fight

[Knabbel]

MMm that's good to read for me, I sad there with 198 FR.... but took some massive damage to.... It's a combination of good gear then lower the FR.... ( I mean good gear for all people, so the healing output will be higher).

Well it is a viscious circle for the healers.
 
FR gear -> Less healing -> More FR gear -> Even less healing.
 
Can your healing compensate for the lack of FR gear then its not a problem

[sheepy]

I can confirm that i was absoloutly no problem to heal most of the time.
 
3 of the times i died after only hitting him 1 or 2 times or before i even reached him. only once id i spend any realy amount of time hitting him!
 
so once i died there is no point in healing me

...and btw all RG1 priests have their full tie1 and tie2 to sawp for diffrent fights that requires resistance...

We do? :whistle:

On topic: I switch to some FR gear in my bags in order to nerf my healing a bit, in an attempt to not get BA early on in the fight.

less fr gear for a priest meanes taking more fire dmg, and when you are dead you can't heal at all, so as i said before imagin you are taking 1400 fire damage every 5 sec and you have to heal a party of yours and yourself..
or you are taking 1400 fire damage (1200 resisted )... wich of the situations better for you as a priest?

[Alaha]

In this game every instance and every fight needs diffrent gear and you can't wear same gear for every situation.
Have you ever though about the patterns and reciepes that requires certain reputation to buy: like the Nature resistance geares wich needs certain reputation with Cenarion Circle... or the Fire rez gear wich needs reputation with Thorium dudes... why?
while you can get better geares in MC wich have some fire rez on, why should i go and increase my reputation with factions to buy reciepes that needs huge amount of recorses to make...why?
thats only because if you want to succeed your attendance you need a decent gear.
Yes the Fire rez gear sux in healing, but!!!! it will keep you alive active as a 1 person in the raid. you are no good in the raid dead even with tie1.tie.2 or tie.2498 thats my point

I'll take the better healing & lower FR please Bob.

On my priest alt:
Normal Prayer of Healing (not the AQ book rank) provides 1100 healing every 3 seconds
Allowing a full 0.5 seconds to recast (which is way more than you need) this equates to healing 1,571 every 5 seconds.

So, this means I can take 1,400 fire damage every 5 seconds for the duration of the fight.  
It also means I can heal my entire group and keep them at pretty much 100% for the duration of the fight.

Assuming that you enchant some +healing (which I have not) the results should be even better.
If you crit at all (I ignored crits in the bove) then you would heal even more.  My base crit heal is about 1,600 every 3 seconds.

Heal FTW.  FR for the bin.

Don't get me involved in this dirty business of yours :norty:

[Mazii]

Remember you can be unlucky with Burning Adrenaline.

[TeaLeaf]

Yep, but there's nothing we can do about that so it's kind of irrelevant.

[lunares]

I use about 40 more fire res for vael then i normally use in the rest of BWL. It is not needed since you spam heal there with prayer. And getting 1400 damage? I get about 800 max if i saw it right and might even be less. Just find yourself a combo of fire res and plus healing which suits you.

[Marduk]

Tossing you mana regen and replacing it with fire resistance is a very smart thing to do here, but tossing a lot of +healing for fire res is the lesser option here
 
but of course to learn the fight and how to heal the fight FR is very usefull since it buys you some time to react, if the control goes better you could swap fire res for + healing and + dmg
