I'm leveling an Spriest in a faint homage to a great one in our guild...and because when I started the project that mana issue wasn't about and the spriest mana battery effect made them the love-of-life for Holy Paladins (my main)...<br /><br />...nonetheless I'm at 56 now and chugging along - I look forward to your coverage of these "upper" levels and the move to Outland. Thus far I'm finding Shadowform and the late talents to be far more beneficial than the early stuff. I do still sit to drink after long sessions, but most quests are done without pause after 40 - and the mount-up, ride, hop-off parts are long enough to get a full bar again.Righteushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166901465930408300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-61681701889951623152009-05-17T09:45:00.000+01:002009-05-17T09:45:00.000+01:00I have a level 80 Draenei priest, but I've always,...I have a level 80 Draenei priest, but I've always, always wanted a BE priest for some reason. (My friend is alliance; I caved to peer pressure and ended up on the Draenei.)<br /><br />That said, I only play my level 80 for raids now, and so that leaves me lots of free time on the non-raiding nights. I decided to go ahead and make that BE priest!<br /><br />She's about level 25 now, and you're completely right about the regen! I never really thought about the post 3.1 spirit nerf in terms of leveling. Yesterday, I realized that I bought 60 drinks at level 24. After thinking about it for a bit, I thought, "Better make it 80 just in case." <br /><br />I pretty much drink after every 2nd to 3rd pull now -- just because wanding bores the crap out of me, and I can't help but press my spells. In addition, running around on those early maps is so painful without a mount (heck, it's painful enough without the epic flying!) that just the thought of running out of drinks and having to waste another 10 minutes running back and forth makes me want to cry.<br /><br />Here's to another 5 levels of pain before the mount!Isienenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-32200495486255446752009-05-14T13:20:00.000+01:002009-05-14T13:20:00.000+01:00Mis: Used to be that leveling - the process of wo...Mis: Used to be that leveling - the process of working one's way through the quests and zones, celebrating at each even-numbered ding - was an enjoyable activity. <br /><br />I do remember a lot of this from when I leveled Anna, and in truth, I can't imagine going back and starting another priest. Cheers to you for your dedication to the community!TJSundayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565202585107751851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-80321788250429740582009-05-13T13:01:00.000+01:002009-05-13T13:01:00.000+01:00Hand in there!

The survivalbility was quite literally killing me. See the thing is, I have a lvl 80 Paladin tank who I MT in raids with. I just couldn't wrap my mind around not being able to take a beating. <br /><br />I finally recieved the great opportunity to do Recruit a Friend. I knew that I still wanted to lvl a clothie but without the headaches. My friend rolled a paladin (yeah I know... that was his own decision not mine lol) and this has really made the trip from 1-35 quite painless. I still notice the drinking problem that I've been having and just thought that it was me and not being used to a new DPS type. <br /><br />What i've been doing thus far is pull with SW:pain, mind blast, then wand until dead. This usually takes 1/5th of my mana but it's enough to keep going and if I get the +spirit booster, it will last a little longer. I would say I need to drink after 4-5 pulls with this method. Now that's if dont have to heal or use the shield on my pally friend.<br /><br />Anyways, thank you for your info. <br /><br />/wall of text complete!<br /><br />~FuuFuubaarnoreply@blogger.com
