just finished a couple of TBC dungeons with my 64 priest... I didnt experience ANY bugs unlike when using the bundled CC's
the only problem I have is waaaaaaaaay too much over healing.
im nit-picking here, and its a problem I have with any healing CC... when a warlock in the group uses life tap during a fight (stupid warlocks lol) they need healing obviously... however the tank is still getting pounded on and is doing their job properly (having all the threat)
the warlocks health is going to be <50% so the priest is casting greater heal or another spell that takes a long time to cast. thus, leaving the tank vulnerable to the 10 mobs attacking them.
would there be any way to have it so if the warlock uses lifetap, they lose alot of priority from healing until the tank has <5 adds?
as i say... its not a major problem, but when the tank gets to <20% health because of a stupid warlock taking up my healing time... its getting around the time to change your pants.
ill keep testing, loving your work![]()
Healing priorities are: Circle of Healing (with Tank as main target), then tank is evaluated before anyone else, then AoE (Prayer of Healing), then yourself, then (if you're not the main healer) the party assigned healer, then everyone else.
This logic is applied when determining if the tank or another party member should be healed first. If the tank is below 80% (hard coded) heal the tank first - no exceptions. But if the tank is above 80% and any other party member's HP% is more than 40% below the tank then heal the party member.
Currently I have no way of determining if the Warlock is casting Lifetap or if they are taking damage. But, some spells will check if (and how many) mobs are attacking a target and cast the appropriate spell. Eg, if the Warlock was at 40% HP then it would normally cast Pain Suppression, but first, it checks the number of mobs actively attacking it, if there are 0, then it skips that spell and moves on to evaluate another spell.
Personally I don't use Greater Heal, well, not with the healbot, but when *I* heal I do. At level 70+ there was almost no chance of going OOM so I prioritised Flash Heal and removed Greater Heal.
EDIT: My healing settings for a level 75+ Discipline priest.
