I was wondering what a better weapon combination would be for healing (holy OR discipline).

My choices are between:
http://www.wowhead.com/item=49968 [Frozen Bonespike] and a really terrible off-hand (no better option) http://www.wowhead.com/item=51408 [Basically just for the spell power]

and

http://www.wowhead.com/item=50805 [Mag'hari Chieftain's Staff]

Thanks.

While exquisitely budgeted, Qiwie, the 251 [Chieftain's Staff] simply can't match the brute force of an iLevel 264 such as the [Bonespike], let alone for Discipline. The Heroic version, however, does hold its rightful place as Holy's best friend 'til 277.

Hello, Jhazrun. I play with a Holy Priest and I'm really confused about one thing:

http://www.wowhead.com/item=50699 [Plague Scientist's Boots],
http://www.wowhead.com/item=51850 [Pale Corpse Boots] or
http://www.wowhead.com/item=49893 [Sandals of Consecration]?

Thank you.

One could argue, Marchen, that the [Scientist's] stand at the top of the podium by virtue of the sole (PUN ALERT!) 277.

More often than not, however, the comparison is left hypothetical out of Holy's disproportionately low gain in face of mages, warlocks, shadow and discipline priests, holy paladins, elemental and restoration shaman, and balance druids, to all of which said ones come up best-in-slot by much more significant a margin. No, boots were indeed not the crown jewel of ICC's itemization.

The remaining duel, for reasons rather obvious, strays little from a mirror match, and the commercial model's ever-so-slight advantage of SPI > Crit is counterbalanced by an aesthetic disaster of an icon (see the final choice of Yours Truly, YMMV).

Hi jhaz and all great priests here :)
I got some question considering disc priests. First of all is is what tier item you should not eqquip i seen that major of us get the 277 sanguine chest is it an coincidence? what is better crit or haste for disc if haste capped? Next is what macros u use? i got the whispering pain suppresion and power infusion + innerfocus/divhymne one :) What icc25 hm would you suggest going holy? Is it ok if i stay disc for all fights? Can u give us few tips about healing as disc on lK25hm , i heard that you you should not buff forti for less infest healing and lower rank pw:s for riptide is it true? how do you mana manage there? do you power infusion yourself? How often u use penance and in what situations? I think healing foucs is kinda not very usefull for disc why people spec for it? and last what do you think about the new talents for cata :) thanks :)

In a 5 man heroic dungeon, I was healing as Disc, my group are getting damage at the same time and all of them is on weakened soul, what I can use to control the situation?

I was wondering in using my Prayer of healing but is so low in healing and large cast time and I don't want to use my Divine Hymn on this situation... Any idea?

Hello again Jhazrun D: How much haste I must have as a Holy Priest? I'm really confused about it when I have to choose what gear I'll use. For example:

[Circle of Ossus] and [Lingering Illness], [Sandals of the Mourning Widow] and [Sandals of Consecration],[Death Surgeon's Sleeves] and [Bindings of the Ashen Saint] AND the especial [Ring of Maddening Whispers] and [Ashen Band of Endless Wisdom]

Thank you again.
