Vael

As for healing - we have our shamans spam heals on the MT - I dont know how hard the pallies heal. Both holy Nova and POH work. The key to the fight is to keep the rogues alive, so as you lose priests to BA start moving druids/priests to the tank/rogue groups.

Druids heal the tanks, paladins heal the groups of people that have better FR and don't get priests with them. This is because the paladins give another 60 FR and the damage rates on those people are slow enough (thanks to the higher FR) that they can cycle Holy Light, a 2.5 second cast, through the group. The 1.5 second cast paladin heal is pointless. Most paladins are happy when it crits for over 900 damage on a target that has blessing of light up. It's not a heal, 600 damage healed is just something that might buy you enough time for someone else casting a real heal to get it to land when the next regular hit comes in. So you can heal for ~2400 damage every 2.5 seconds or ~1300 damage every 3 seconds (that is figuring about +300 healing and blessing of light on the target).

Just have a few druids spamming regrowth, and a few spamming healing touch and you get plenty of healing on the tanks fast enough. Paladins will also throw heals at the tanks now and then (as will priests between PoH or Holy Novas) but the druids are what we use to heal the tanks.


Holy Nova is used simply to add a bit more DPS to Vael and it does work as mentioned. You might still have to PoH every now and then during the HN spam, but it works well from what I've seen.
