Dun dun dun it's been decided Truny's next project is to fund Husbrus all the way to 80!
Who is Husbrus Again?
My priest! I've been healing as a discipline priest on Husbrus and she is already 61 as we speak!
Oh the fun times traversing through RLFG (or whatever that group random thinger is called).
We're had our good-but-are-asshole tanks. We've had our bad-just-looking-to-wipe-everyone-tanks. However most tanks nowadays are competent, along with most DPS......it's really really weird and boring!
I don't know, but I think I like discipling healing more than I like restoration druid healing...I think.
I think I am so used to Power Word Shield, cause you just set it and forget it (well not really, I watch for it to disappear, and watch DoTimer for Weakened Soul to fade), I still cast Renew because of the inner druid in me, though I think this spell is used by Holy Priests more??
Then there's Holy nova! I can heal and damage at the same time OMFG! And I can jump around like a crazy while doing so! Double points!
The use of flash heal is...meh still iffy it's.....too slow! With the talent Borrowed Time, it takes 1.1 seconds to cast WTF?
Though I do miss swiftmend and wildgrowth, it's obvious those used to spamming wild growth for no goddamn reason will spam Holy Nova for no goddamn reason as well!
I'm straying off topic again, as usual.
Hitting level 60 also means a new spell: Penance.
Penance is so cool.
It's so strong. 1.7k healing crits per FWOP = ~5-6K potential heals, 3k minimum all for roughly the same mana cost as flash heal!
Talented, the cooldown is 8 seconds, much more accessible than swiftmend!
Oh I have a question. This stresses me out. Why do priests have so many effing heals?
Heal, Lesser Heal, Greater Heal, Flash Heal.
What the hell is just "Heal", and "Lesser Heal", why do they still have these spells..don't they go something like this:
Heal: Heal 500 for 300 mana 2 seconds.
Lesser Heal: Heal 100 for 200 mana 1.5 seconds
Greater Heal: Heal 2000 for 400 mana 2.5 seconds
Flash Heal: Heal 1000 for 200 mana 1.5 seconds. WTF this just made the first two spells obsolete WTF WTF??
Why does the game start us off with the most useless healing spells? Think starting off with HEALING TOUCH as a druid (LOLOLOLOLOL)
But yeah, Penance is cool. Dot dot dot.
My plan is to obtain the "dungeon" set for casters and socket 'em with epic gems, since Klupty had dozens and dozens of rubies laying around for when Truny used to upgrade her equipment like it was raining 'em back in the ICC gear days.

Priesty Pally Progress
Husbrus the Priest. My 10th toon on my main account, grossly underused.
I had manually levelled her up to 16 and started questing ALL the quests in The Barrens with a friend. It was quite enjoyable duo-ing these quests and travelling the dry and barren land that is The Barrens.
We killed and killed and occasionally queued in LFG (both as a healer) and BAM BAM we did some RFC, Shadowfang Keep and OH MY GOD Wailing Caverns.
I healed each time as a Shadow Priest.
I'd have to say Power Word: Shield is my best friend. And learning Flash Heal at level 18 (I think) is a godsend. Healing at low levels is a real mana drain! Well, anything is a mana drain when I'm used to having Life Tap or Unlimited Resto Druid Mana.
I might just respec Husbrus the Priest to Holy/Discipline and heal my way through to 80 since Shadow DPS doesn't feel like my cup of tea at the moment.
Mind Blast, Dot'em Up, Purple Laser. It didn't feel very impactful or painful. We'll see. I will probably avoid my Priest for a bit unless I'm bored. At least she got up to level 23!
Truby the Paladin: Tanker and Retlol'er
Oh Paladin! I made a Paladin JUST so that I could see what all those weird and wacky shiny abilities they used were called and what they did!
Truby Ret DPS and Ret Tanked her way to level 40 and ran to her Trainer to receive Dual Specialization and became a Tank again. (She was Prot, but it was too slow, then changed to Ret...then patch 3.3 came and tanking=groups)
Ret DPS is ....pretty strong for this level consitently pulling 200 dps just by spamming buttons and relying on consecrate. Seal of Command does the rest.
And yes, those are the only abilities I understand and or remember the name to.
If I wanted that 50% reduction shield I know its "9" on my key bindings but I am not sure what its called. Also I can't find my Pally Bubble, what is THAT skill called? Do I even HAVE it? I remember using it once....and it was NOT called Pally Bubble! I can't find it anymore!
What's with all our Hands? And laying hands on friend and foe alike? Jeez!
And all those Seals and Judgements!
Anyways, lost track of things again!
Right, Protection Tanking! Is it wrong to not die after pulling a dozen mobs while the rest of the party is down the hall chatting and drinking up? I think I only took damage all day when I was thrown into Maraudon: Orange Crystals where the mobs were three to four levels higher than me!
There's actually more stuff to do as a Pally Tank. First you put down your Consecrate, then make sure your Holy Shield is always active and you judge as you please! Eight more levels and I can throw my shield to pull too! THIS compared to Feral Druid tanking: Mangle, Maul, Swipe, Barkskin if too much damage. However I do miss Swipe-Spam.
Perhaps I've just never felt so unkillable at a low level but its fun!
Will update more once I get to 50 and throw my shield at things randomly!

Priesty Beginnings
Remember how I had deleted my Priest because I thought they levelled way too slow?
And remember how I had to delete my Warrior to remake another Priest because I thought I wanted a priest again?
Well, my remade priest is TADA now level 14! Yes! Already caught up to my level 14 Mage!
I think one thing I can not stand are cast times. Especially when your spell with a cast time does not decimate the mob in one shot.
I like mobility.
Sure Ice Nova is instant but then I'd still have to stand around and cast...but wait! I completely forgot about the WANDS!
That's what made the difference on my priest. I had actually remembered to buy her a wand, and essentially how I down mobs is: Mind Blast, Shadow Word: Pain (words hey?), WAND YOU TO DEATH!!
Sometimes if I'm feeling brave I'll throw on that shield and DOT up another mob and slowly whittle their health away.
The wand made a difference, it's constant white damage, no standing around, no being pushbacked or interrupted. And NO MANA USEAGE!! (Even though the very first Shadow Talent practically gaurantees a full mana bar after each kill with my sparing mana usage).
So I'm going to try something today with my mage: Wanding things to death!
Or maybe its just because I love shadow based damage over time instant cast spells.......
