Disc Priest +21 Atal'Dazar [Live Commentary]

[@roaringtigermom9787]

Thank you for providing your commentary, it helped me learn. I like knowing the thoughts and decision-making process of other disc healers.

[@ragnongaming]

Awesome! Glad it’s been helpful 🙂

What are the “empowered” add on and that ability timer? Cant find a vertical bar like that with the dropping icons.

[@ragnongaming]

They are both WeakAuras. The empowered one is “Dibs on PI”, and the bar is “Raid Ability Timeline”

Hey ragnon I've been wanting to record some of my own keys to review my playing and was wondering if you can specify a couple of your WAs from the list you have. On the left above your chat which one is it thats recording your spell usage? I noticed you had two similarly named ones that could both be it. And on the right center that has the cascading/waterfall style countdown for enemy abilities which one is that? It seems super useful for disc and anticipating stuff before it happens. And lastly for example on the first boss for terrifying visage you had a pop up and TTS say LoS with a countdown, is that part of the boss timers stuff you showed in the other recent video but for keys or is that something else? I tend to find audio queues like that help me more than visual because I tunnel on health bars😅 thank you!

Awesome! That's honestly the best way to improve your play quickly imo. The box above my chat is a function of Details, type /streamer to activate it and set it up. The one for boss abilities is wago.io/RaidAbilityTimeline The audio cues are a combination. You'll need www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/sharedmedia_causese for the audio pack of extra sound cues, which unlocks functionality of many different other addons and weakauras. Then I'm not sure if the cues for dungeons are coming from LittleWigs, or an exclusive dungeon WA within Atrocity's UI profile that I'm running.

Is it just me or is disc healing not enough for high keys, feels like I barely hold on in a 18

[@ragnongaming]

I could understand how you could feel that way, and why that might be. The highest keys in the world are getting done with disc priests currently, so obviously it's capable. However, this season has a TON of kicks, and some punishing knowledge gaps with mechanics, which makes healing much more difficult in uncoordinated pugs than it otherwise would be in higher keys where most people know the strategies to make the pulls easier. A good example is the first trash area in Rise. In a high level key, everyone needs to successfully kick the Volley casts otherwise the group is immediately dead, and it's very obvious what went wrong. In a low level key, the Volley casts don't do enough to instantly kill you, making you as the healer feel like maybe it's a mechanic that you are supposed to heal when kicks are missed, and it's easier for groups to blame the healer (even though it is 100% not your fault). That's my guess on what you are experiencing, and my advice is to stick with it and keep pushing and practicing, and it gets better when you start getting into groups that are on the other side of the knowledge gap.

just healed a 19++ atal key with only 458 gear and 2 set. so its pretty possible with a little coordinated group
