The New Team

*Another post I started and didn't complete. Back-dated to the original date. *

After getting dumped for rogues me and Riddaren moved on in search of a healer for our 3v3. That night we were running bg’s with a friend of his from EQ days, Slyok a priest that just PvPs as he’s burnt out on raiding. We talked him into being our healer on a 3v3. He had never done arena and was only now experimenting with a Disc/Holy spec, but he obliged.

Gear-wise Sly has mostly S1 that he got from casual honor grinding in bg’s over the last few months. We’ve run with him before and he’s a good guy, It sure does make a difference to have a healer in a bg. That aside he definitely needs some gear upgrades but we decided to give it a go.

We went 6-7 and ended the night at 1486 in some very frustrating losses. It’s a learning experience for everyone. The Disc priest style of play will have to be very different than the resto druid style. The advantage is that we can FF down Pally and Mage, call for the Mass Dispel and continue to burn through them after the bubble or Ice Block has been cast aside. The downside is that he will be very gear dependent. His bonus heal, mana pool, and resil are not at max levels right now. Regardless, the team has promise as we learn to work together.

I'm excited to see what the new week brings.
