They share CD.
I always pre-pot int on fights that have huge damages on the first 30 secs or less. As soon as the fight starts, pop PI and get those 5 evangelism stacks ASAP.
Do a pre-defensive penances before the pull if you're running 2 pieces. After 5 evangelism stacks, pop archangel and SPAM PW:S on the raid. If a group takes damage, go for your Prayer of Healing with Empowered Archangel on them.
There's no need to track anything as a disc priest, actually - maybe your archangel stacks if you're not used to knowing how many you have based on what you just cast. I use weakauras for Mindbender/Solace, my mind has associated a specific "bling" soudn with solace being off cd.
Very nice tips from Apollose.
On flamebender video:
You're casting cascade on when there's no damage to the raid, which is just a waste of mana. Don't flash heal, only if you really need to get that big shield + heal on the tank with an empowered AA (Flash Heal with AA + Penance is a very high burst of healing)
You need to pre shield stuff as a disc. Like the molten torrent stack on melee, blackhands falling stuff, etc.
Every fight that there's going to be a raidwide damage, spam shields randomly, it doesn't matter who's getting it (Blast furnace, blackhand, oregorger, kromog, twin ogrons, etc.). Hell, use this macro (spam button) if you want to go full random:
Code:
#showtooltip Power Word: Shield
/targetraid
/cast Power Word: Shield
- If there's pre-set group damages (Gruul, Mythic Butcher) pre-shield them with a 10s, that'll do for 5~6 shields.
- Area wide skills (like Iron Maidens line Shot) can be easily countered by using mouseover macros and shielding whoever is on the line.
- Pay attention to pre-set timed debuffs, Iron Maidens fight is like the king of that - Admirals Random shots (check who has 'aggro'/who is being target), dark hunt, The blood coil, the three axes, the and the aim.
- Also, damaging debuffs, snipe shield'em! Best source of heal farming! If it's a big one like Blackhands impale, go for some CoW with no shame.
