Diablo – hmmm

I love to rant, and bitch and moan...I'm very opinionated. Some people just think that I need to keep my mouth firmly closed and to those people I tell to take a hike. (I'm starting to feel like Sue from Glee all of a sudden..lol)
Since my little hiatus from the blogging world, there's been several annoyances that have been bothering me. My main one is Paladin related. As you all well know, I play a Blood Elf Paladin on Cairne under the name of Melevelia. In the last few days, I finally got her dual spec and put my 2nd spec down as Holy cause I wanted to have a crack at healing with her. Last night, I finally got my last piece of heal gear for her (even though it's kinda patchworked with leather bracers and mail shoulders... >.>) and so to test out the gear and my spec, I pugged myself in for a regular UK run. I'm only 75 at the moment, and could probably manage Nexus too...but I'm not too sure of my capabilities right now. We managed to get through it with only one death, so for my first healing run on my Paladin- I wasn't too unhappy about that. My main problem was that I just kept running out of mana, and even with Seal of Wisdom up and judging Wisdom...I was getting nowhere. Maybe it's my spec but I couldn't see what was the problem there. I found it was relieved a little by using Divine Illumination and Divine Favor...but I'm so new to all of this that I really am blind and I don't have a clue what I'm doing. My mana pool currently sits around the 11k mark...and at lvl 75 I can't gem for intellect as of yet. And don't even get me started on AoE damage. I beacon'd the tank (and man when that procs, wooo that makes me fucking happy :D) but apart from that I was throwing FoL, HS and HL around like free candy. It was deja vu of me working over the Priest on her first heal runs. Honestly though, healing on a priest is like freaking childs play compared to a Pally. omfg...so goddamn scary xD

hmmm, were you hitting Divine Plea? That helps me a lot....to help offset the healing debuff, pop a SP trinket at the same time. Its funny, I can heal almost anything witha pally and be just fine, but give me a druid and I'm all intimidated. Theres too many spells...and they're all hots :P
As far as managing mana... i didn't see you mention divine plea at all. Normally you can use it when traveling from trash pack to trash pack without ever having to deal with the healing debuff. During boss fights though you will likely have to divine plea during the fight. In which case you can use avenging wrath to help offset the - healing. So instead of -50% healing you get -30%.
The 25% mana regen every 1 min is key to a holy pally keeping their mana up.
which is why i respecd to ret from holy, much rather be dps'n the sitting there trying to keep ppl alive.
