[@solarwrath1313]

yeah, i agree, she has a very relaxing voice, imo

[@hotsauceonme7792]

@@soultaker840 I'm watching this now to fall asleep and also to prepare for wotlk classic 😀

[@user-bj4nu4yw5i]

Nostalgia!!! I remember watching this over a decade ago!

[@dorocoJ]

Still watching this in 2017 ☺️

[@DeltaWarrior95]

I go back to watch these videos all the time to reminisce

[@mrBytemare]

started to play on wow-dalaran...pure 100% wotlk servers with thousands of players active. No pay2win etc so its a blast re-living the glorydays of wow :)

[@dragonsrv]

This was an OG priest healz video. I remember watching this when it came out and ended up healing for a while after. Was super helpful

[@Pegogi]

2020 and still watching. Thank you COVID-19

[@Saonserey]

@NiteSaiya That's the best guess I've gotten yet. Grew up in Germany, lived in Canada for 3 years & living in the US now.

[@srbinlol9821]

Still watching this in 2018 :(

[@gustavolol12345]

yea I forgot to add a correction last time. PROM isnt a smart heal , it will jump to a random person within range not lowest.

[@KindredEmotions]

Highly soothing voice. I could fall asleep listening to her talk.

[@twoolley57]

I'm a new healer, just level 37 and running randoms to level. My main in a tank so switching to a healer is kind of ..... interesting ... and this video just made things much more clear. Thanks!

[@latuman]

I agree with the DP. The heals you use on others can be used on yourself, not to mention you have tons of instant heals anyway.

[@LowkoTV]

And why is that? She has a nice voice.

[@srbinlol9821]

Hey after 10 years you have 500k subs 😀

[@Chrysobubulle]

Lol so funny to see Lowko also fell to the soothing charms of Aliena’s voice 😂

[@FalseProphet501]

I miss this so much...

[@armv7-m603]

same

[@nihilistics]

Aliena, your voice zips through my logitech headset and caresses my eardrums. From there my nerves are excited as the impulses travel to my parietal lobe. Before I know it I'm not paying attention to what you're saying and I'm floating downstream in a river of feathers. No but seriously, great guide and those guys in vent with you are lucky bastards! Keep up the good work you teach a lot!

[@ceeth100]

All these people complain about her voice well really i dont mind her voice i actually think its calming and also she does very very good explaining all of her videos so stop complaining

[@RedeadDie]

Thank you very much for this. I'm working on a couple of priests to be holy priests for future raids. I'm mainly a fan of renew, so hearing advice on what to use relating to that helps me out greatly.

[@the_elsmile7592]

Did you ever considerd to do asmr talking ....you voice is great

[@LerRhann]

I seriously love your voice.

[@romanticwander]

im glad tankspot is posting vids up for priest and how to properly spec in a certain spec... i dont see why people have to complain and be all like "if you need this guide you fail." roll a PRIEST and try to heal not a pally, shaman, or druid... but roll a priest it is difficult considering the class has different attributes to healing. I run a disc priest now cuz on my server they require them more in a raid and her guide to disc priest helps so quit hating :P

[@GuitarzMyThing]

I had to watch this video twice because I went into la la land the first time while listening to your voice... Its so calming.

[@go8smosh]

@kenichisan88 Cloth wearers usually have tailoring. If you have expendable income, you can go enchanting (the most common secondary) or alchemy. If you find yourself short of cash, then pick a gathering profession, like herbalism or mining (I have tailoring/mining on my mage).

[@Saonserey]

@MrKillortryto I'll make a new one in Cataclysm. Renew beats out flash heal by far, so not many people bother much with emp. healing anymore. Leftover points... sure. Body and Soul is pretty essential for hard mode Halion. I think my GS is 6450, but GS is useless.

[@ChristopherMcConnell]

This serves more as an epic 10 minute moment, then a lesson for me lol. The way she says it, its damn epic!

[@yenomeerf]

Thanks for sharing that, she is sure to be extremely flattered and interested.

[@Meodoc]

2 Types of people in the comments: 1. People complaining about her voice 2. People loving her voice

[@viktorlarsson7080]

who the fuck complains lmao.

[@pizzabotepicness6730]

Made me think this was for real preists

[@uniuser1797]

I know its been a while but the reason people hate her is because some controversy about blizzard many years ago and she was trying to defend blizzard when everyone else was pissed at them. At this point i am not sure what was it. Ether Cata release or some other thing. I just remember her to get in the controversy and to never hear from her ever again after that.

[@Meodoc]

@@uniuser1797 Haha interesting :D

[@latuman]

Only if the ticks are all used, it is very cost effective. However as long as there are more than one raid healer, it usually doesnt get to tick more than two or three times.

[@NiteSaiya]

That's a unique accent. Sometimes sounds German, sometimes sounds Southern, sometimes sounds Canadian. As a linguist, I'd love to know what mix of factors produced such a way of speaking.

[@latuman]

I'm not sure what you mean by "Top heals"... Sure as a clothie you will go down fast, especially when attacked by a rogue. I only stack haste on my priest. Haste and only haste. Every other stat comes anyway, but haste, for me, is what matters the most. Plus, I do not use PW:S that much. Its not talented in anyway (uses a lot of mana and is inefficient anyway). The only reason I use it is the speed boost. I can run out of combat and "fight another day" (10 seconds later)

[@Kelade]

earth shield is pretty equal to prayer of mending isn't it? it just doesn't bounce, which in some respects is better

[@cephyric]

I think she ment the bouncing part, as druids also have seeds that have the same effect, healing the target for 30% of the druids crit heal the next time said target takes damage.

[@Megamanny]

Actually you are ENTIRELY wrong. A good holy priest will use PW Shield. I don't think you have raided ToGC or have over 3k+ healing so I'm sure you wouldn't know. On my priest in ToGC when 2 healing it. PW: S makes a great damage reduction on tanks when they are getting impaled by Gormoks debuff. It is purely situational when playing as Holy but it is a great spell when you throw on a renew that ticks for 2.5k +

[@Tredorn]

i disagree i roll a holy Priest and with the glyph for pwS have found it a great tool to use in my spell rotation ya there is some mana cost but with the rt gear chioces and that means spirit gear as opposed to +mp5 gear that is not an issue i find that unless i am intentionally O H'ing i dont have any issues with going /OOM and actually find it prevents me from having to use more FH's and GH's as well.

[@Lyhyt]

@monstavaii They've changed PoH so it affects the person and the group you're currently targeting. So if you wanna heal your group you target yourself or another person in your group. Simply, they buffed it. :)

[@latuman]

I agree on half what this guide says and disagree on the other half. Like disc talents. Am I the only one who has a talent in the "less manacostly instants" talent in the disc tree while playing holy? (Mental Agility its called) 4% less mana for instants. Think about it, we have Renew, Holy Nova, CoH, PoM, DP for some and probably Guardian Spirit too, that all benefit from it and these spells are used all the time! I think that is essential.

[@Saonserey]

Wrong, and wrong. The glyph adds a healing over time effect, and PoH is only party based, no matter how you slice it.

[@muffinman392]

@MrMaraid holy for raid healing disc for tank healing thats for raids and personoly disc for heroics

[@Saonserey]

It depends on the level of content you raid! Precisely what I tried to convey.

[@AnonymusFilmmaker]

greater heal should be on num2 or3 cause with ur spec after casting 3 flash heals you get it only in 1.5 cast

[@dorocoJ]

Anyone knows the music? Thanks for the great video!

[@FleurDeGivre]

Up to now i felt i'm a good holy priest, keeping the group up, and dodging shamans and druids, and even after watching this, i still feel pleased with myself. I have to admit, somehow i'm not a huge fan of the pure MP5 Stat and i tried to avoid the sp/int gem with the spirit/int gem. It sounds very reasonable, thinking about the shadowfiend and the Hymn. Also i mentioned one thing about myself while healing, i'm very ... unsteady in my way of healing. I can't tell if i use Renew or the Prayers~

[@gamerknown]

Inspiration doesn't stack with ancestral fortitude etc. I think

[@IronJesus]

Yea, but people who wanna know what the new spells do/will do. This helps. Not to mention the fact that I've noticed many idiots. Like paladins who dps with Righteous Fury on, not realizing that it just increases threat.

[@platipuzz]

I'm a lvl 70 disc priest ATM, I'm just doing randoms to lvl and idk if I should go holy, I tried it at 60 and I ran out of mana extremely fast. Can someone give me some advice please

[@FleurDeGivre]

~more, but i used to have Body and Soul in my Specc since the Yogg-Saron Hardmode. I avoid skilling Desperate Prayer, because my opinion is, if i have the time, pushing this button, something else out of my spells can also save me. But i guess, once you are used to it, it's heavy to don't specc it. :) Pretty nice UI you are using btw. :3

[@Eciocci]

prot pally.. all you do is hit avenger shield sacred sheild concecration or however you spell it then use hammer or righteness and then shield then repeat..

[@Sh4dowGin]

Then i guess every1 just randomly hits buttons when it shines? Is that what your saying?

[@Saonserey]

Yep! In the works.

[@Gojiira]

not only is this video very informative, but I think anyone specced HOLY should ditch the spellpower and go entirely for crit when possible. SP is nice, but if you are grouped with people lacking patience...the extra mana from stacking INT + the bonus crit modifier works well. but with fools, you OOM a lot trying to be the savior. in that case, rush in like a tank...steal their aggro and go SoR (spirit of redemption) then renew everyone first. flash who needs a quickie boost.

[@wetyto1]

sorry but earth shield is like equal to that circle of mending. and base heal is 1k which sucks maybe like 2-3k with spellpower

[@TrygveL]

hey i need some help.. i just made a priest.. should i go shadow while i quest? i will go dungeon to heal aswell but no dualspec intill 40. What healspec for normal dungeon?

[@ristaso]

I hope Aliena will do one of the episodes in "The weekly marmoth" ( A new Tankspot thing) so we can see her :D

[@phnw123]

clearly it's not an 85 guide when it was released in 2009

[@TheKingOfKings131]

in feb when i get my laptop im going back 2 WoW and ima make a priest and gonna speak holy then ima transfer my lvl 80 hunter and give my priest 2kg then when my priest hits 40 ima duel spec holy and MAYBE desc depending which of the last 2 specs r better

[@SetbabyMagic]

Why is this vid not in HD?

[@gustavolol12345]

Pretty basic guide. Slight improvement you can make regardless of playstyle is putting 1 point into holy concentration because you really dont need 130% pushback resistance do you?

[@imnotgaygay1253]

Is it viable to be a healer with a bit of lag?

[@LazerWolfProductions]

I can hear you fine. and ur voice is calm and steady. very informative. i loved the critters u have. Good job and keep the videos coming aliena THANKS FROM: Alailare - gnomeregan

[@ggifilose]

wen she says average gear is that like 5k GS?

[@DemonicRogue01]

lvld as ret since it was faster imo, but eventualy played prot at lvl70 and when lvling from 70-80 after wotlk release went ret again, not prot again xD but imo lvling as prot is a pain since the mobs in outland and other zones were all just too far away from each other :(

[@yenomeerf]

im having the same issue. i thought holy wud giv best healing for randoms gonna go back to disc

[@kenichisan88]

What do you recommend for primary & secondary profession's for a Holy Priest? :)

[@christian5670]

Can u plz comeone out with a ret/prot pally guide??

[@adamnaz]

Great video, very helpful i have just reached 80 and found this very clear to understand and help me with my build. So thanks for the vid!

[@zolthorg]

im about 6 minutes in and there's no visual aids, i think you could use the video format better here. Personally i play a holy pally right now and this just overwhelms me. priests have what 10 heals o.o

[@Jedborg]

Gotta love your voice! :D Awesome guide, keep the good work up.

[@DjBboymt]

`my mana is just vanishing on a simple HC trash ..and i dont know how to fix that

[@mouthlock]

Wow. Content was great but I love listening to your voice, watched it again :D

[@iLikeNachooooz]

no cuz with the prayer u heal 2 ppl and with earthshield only 1, but u can't rlly compare shamans with priests cuz they have totally different mechanics as healers ;)

[@JustGonnaLiveMyLife]

I love the way you say "potent" :3

[@nesci1234]

God dammit now lookin at this guide i notice how stupid my spec is. i barely use greater heal but i got divine fury for some reason, didnt get desperate prayer and onli 1 point into holy reach and my spec is supposed to be for raid healer lol. ty for putting this up Tankspot and ty for explaining it Aliena. Helped me a lot at noticing my spec is bad lol.

[@smeer15]

What's that in the background?

[@tmweb95]

LOL i see your flying a kite there in a thunderstorm... and seems like youve been flying your kite for a while, and will continue to!

[@XJustAnotherWowNerdX]

I have a lvl 50 full boa holy priest. i love spamming prayer of healing and circle of healing right after :D both glyphed

[@Saonserey]

We don't really run conc aura. :)

[@bamboesnaaeirz]

Addons? Font & the style?

[@Ilspiegel14]

She sounds like a flight attendant...in a good way nice video by the way.

[@FlowFuzz]

never leveled as a protection paladin did you? :)

[@williamtom0]

i love how she talks kind of like microsoft(forgot female name) so its very easy to understand

[@latuman]

Care to elaborate?

[@Rdad85]

@fyflishfy47 they all great and unique would ahve to write a giant paragraph to explain the ups and downs of them. i suggest checking out some web sites and reading up on them a lil then choose

[@3lapsed]

@runegeek7 that is completely wrong for a ret pally, go read elitistjerks imo

[@bored2death123ya]

Now I'm starting to think that being a renew addict might not be such a good idea... The spec tree that you have makes much more sense >.>;

[@timstephen19]

Is this a level 85 guide?

[@DonCheezle]

dont u play a disc priest anyway?

[@AuxLawson]

"... your tank is doing something VERY, VERY WRONG!" Think I misunderstood! :D

[@deadlycatthefirst]

worgen freeman?

[@Alexpandork]

i keep thinking renew is the primary heal spell i always own every healer with renew spam

[@ICSizemore]

@pigcrap101 i would love to see that as well

[@Wizardi1111]

Thank you!And I know people have said it before but you have a good voice ^_^

[@bamboesnaaeirz]

The teh buffs?

[@latuman]

Depending on the spec, Gheal can heal more per mana point. Unless you have 5 points in divine fury and you stack haste, there really is almost no use for it.

[@Attlaz92]

I think her voice is cool nice and calm :) nothing bat here.

[@myroadrashownz]

more guides!

[@valezza1]

What's the music?

[@rakettetutt]

needz elemental shaman and holy pala guide nao! :)

[@gustavolol12345]

No you're wrong, and talking shit without testing it. PROM jumps to a random target , not lowest HP since its implementation. Test it yourself, and read the tooltip of CoH and Prom see how CoH clearly mentions lowest HP.

[@go8smosh]

You should do audio books.7

[@DemonicRogue01]

well a nice thing to know is that most ppl lvl as dps since everything else it either rubbish or slow

[@dogslobber45]

ur voice is so......pleasant.

[@metalk1tt3n]

i started out today hyperactive like a hamster on a wheel and she just made me feel sleepy and relaxed XD damn aliena u should try making relaxation audio tapes :P
