    Bottom line - you're complaining for the sake of complaining. You want annoying? Try doing 2's as a Warlock.

    Apply Spell/Fire Stone.
    Create one health stone.
    Open trade with your partner, trade health stone.
    Create another health stone for your self.
    Apply your Armor spell.
    Buff yourself with Detect Invisibility.
    Buff yourself with Unending Breath.
    Buff yourself with Soul Link.
    Buff your partner with Detect Invisibility.
    Buff your partner with Unending Breath.
    He's saying it takes too long to cast it all, he wants to be on a mount asap.

    Think of it like you spawned in the Blacksmith in AB and need to be at Stables right away.

    Just cast the largest mana cost first, my preferred order on my priest is - Divine Spirit, Power word Fort then Prayer of Shadow protection. Inner Fire doesn't cost much at all, so it's not to bothersome to spend mana on.

    Just make sure when you res from the spirit healer to buff thos in that order to get the first three buffs free and save mana.
    I have my buffs auto cast by a macro just for that situation. Let me tell you, even automated, going as fast as possible, I cannot get all my buffs up within that time limit.

    Yeah it's annoying, but you're lucky you even have Fort and Inner Fire. I wish I had something to buff on my Shaman aside from Water/Es/Lightning Shield. Getting a nice chunk of life would be awesome.

    But really I think you should spawn with your selfbuffs right when you res in BGs, to cut down on the time spent buffing and drinking. But that's too easy, if it's not broken don't fix it. You know?

    Comparing arena with BGs again are we? They give you 2 minutes of prep time to do all that in an arena. In a BG, you have 0. People won't stand there waiting for you to rez and buff up. And if you had bothered to read the thread you would see that I DO know about the grace period and that the mana cost isn't what's bothering me.

    *Spirit Healer buff is casted on you.*

    Inner Fire > Fortitude > Spirit > Shadowprotection

    *Spirit healer buff fades*

    Vampiric Embrace (since it's free).

    Profit.
    What is worth fighting for?
