Re: [Servers] Why You Might Need To TransferYeah, I glanced at his armory this morning. Pretty decent.
I am very tempted to bring my DK over and be able to leave my pvp lock with my social guild--I've known them for over a year and are a cool bunch--I would hate to leave them behind entirely.
Do you need another DK? I could spec DPS blood/frost so we always have both buffs... (I really hate tanking with a passion nowadays). |

Kris,
I just started a guild up yesterday. It's one of those "take it wherever it goes" kind of things. People should play what they want. If a DK is what you want to do, that's fine.
As a DK myself, I know the utility that DK's bring, even if there are a ton of them in a raid. Ideally, I'd like to just have the guild full of quality people that is sort of like a pre-screened LFG.
Also, pwrtoppl, I haven't checked on the status of the heroic stuff, but I do remember hearing some folks in my old guild clearing out the 10-man heroic ToC and I know they had to PUG because they never have anywhere near enough people on at one time to run a guilded group. |

Drew's just an example. Right now, healers are in supreme demand. In so much demand, in fact, that people are willing to take the undergeared ones and toss a mountain of epics at them. Like he said earlier, he turned 80 on Thursday or Friday, ran a handful of heroics to replace his greens and blues so he could join a Naxx group, snag some epics and hop into ToC by the weekend. He did pretty well for healing too.
I ran him through a few heroics and he was healing H ToC just fine, while sporting only 1300 spell power. I think he's at the 2k mark self-buffed now. |

Mal'ganis is a top server, no doubt. Black Dragonflight was neck & neck with Mal'Ganis as far as content and competency back in the day. Then Overrated got guild-banned for hacking AQ40 and it's all been downhill from there. Other than FoH we're pretty much a backwater server now. I do agree with the above poster who said they won't wait to play, though. We have no waiting and no instance issues. said by Exodus:he was healing H ToC just fine, while sporting only 1300 spell power. With insane dps, sure. |

The DPS was half decent, yea, but nothing mind blowing. I should mention even Friday night when I got home and logged in (probably around 5PM Pacific) there was no queue. I didn't portal hump an instance either, FWIW.
I am not trying to get people to switch to Mal'Ganis. I am simply saying you might look into it or other servers if you want a little more. I saw plenty of pugs looking for DPS, but being a healer helps sure.
RE: puging alagon, we had 2 people in our pug w/ the title and the key. One had gotten it in a previous guild and another in a pug. I saw probably 3 or 4 groups over the weekend LFM for uld hard modes. No joke. Saw a couple TOGC pugs too. They weren't as common, and they were serious about your gear and linking achieves. |

A player with good skill can heal fine as a restro in greens for heroics. I've healed heroics as a boomkin before so it's not like it's hard. |

I've seen newly dinged restro's healing non-defense capped warriors in heroics. Player skill > all. A poor healer is going to suck in greens or epics. |

B) Skill? healing is wack-a-mole. The reactions required are almost entirely contingent on the the other party/raid members. One day I go to H VH and the run goes flawlessly while I'm talking on the phone and eating a pizza. The next day with all my attention focused and still we wipe cuz morons cant avoid an orb. |

If you're clicking, you're doing it wrong.
But other wise, it's situational awareness, it's fight-based awareness (Boss Y is about to hit the tank for 25k, I need to time my heal properly. Maybe not rejuv+swiftmend on that other guy and save it for the tank), it's more complicated than most think.
I've got a warrior tank and a tree druid. They're equally difficult to play (that is, not very.) |

Mouseover macros + grid > healbot > clique.
No clicking required with my setup. Just hover and use my binds. |

Funny, it seems to change over time. Used to be Healers were a hot commodity on my server, now its Tanks. Tons of DK's, no tanks. All metermaids Ive been offered 500g to Heal a Naxx10, 1000g to Heal a Uld10 with my 2750sp Holy Priest. Ive been offered less (100g, all repairs paid) on my 42K Tankadin. If its not Healers that are needed, its Tanks. Which, I dont have any issues getting a raids/heroics since I have both. Basically, I sit in LFG (Zone/Storm Peaks) and lurk the LFG groups for what Im looking for, and the correct group compesition (ie, not Melee Heavy, etc) You ever want to see the Tanks and Healers that dont want to be bothered with LFG people? Look in the Indivudual/Zones channels.. we lurk there alot |

There were 4-5 groups in LFG channel last night spamming "HToC grp LF tank and gtg" at the same time. The other groups were still looking when we finally got one after about 20 mins. It was even the daily. Tons of DKs around but yeah none of them geared/spec'd to tank. Reminds me of BC. |

I raid as a tank mostly so it's nice to take a break from it while doing quests. I know quite a few healers and tanks who don't use their main specs for quests. |

See this is why I stopped playing my druid. I geared up as boomkin with some hit gear swapped for healing gear and -bam- I can heal any heroic and a few raids... sadly that's all I was used for >. |

They all like to DPS off-spec sometimes. Not every time, but you know, sometimes, they want to be in the action and because of it, they try harder. I'd love to have a raid with like 15 healers and half of them going DPS spec and just change it up on who's healing each night. |
