Replenishment and you (and me)

[juldæ]

[Replenishment] is soon to become a rare commodity in our raids. Warlocks won't get it in order to maximize their DPS, mages won't get it in order to not be gkicked for being fucking retarded, hunters (probably) won't be survival to maximize their DPS, and spriests won't ever cast [Mind Blast] once they get their 4pcT10 to maximize their DPS. This leaves our ret paladins as the sole means of reliable [Replenishment], and we normally only run 2. And while 2 replens is fine in ideal situations, 1 death could cause a cascade of failure that could, in theory, make us wipe do to mana starvation.

Realistically, this shouldn't be a problem anytime soon. However, the very real possibility exists where I may be forced to gem int for the sole reason of being able to grab a replen buff if they are in rare supply, simply because, as holy, almost every other healer will be prioritized for one over me by the game, and most caster dps as well.

Just some food for thought.

Eh simple fix. Uzzi keeps it in his rotation or is able to watch if/when Pai/Obli are dead or not present. Probably better to just keep it in his rotation, I doubt the dps loss is terribly extreme if they only use the spell to refresh the buff.

Its not going to be a noticeable dps loss for a shadow priest if any until very high levels of haste. Like over 1k from what i've seen so this isn't a problem.

im not against playing survival unless the dps is just shitty but last time i played it i was right with xard all the time pretty much. only reason i never go sv now is because its just not as fun after playing mm for a while.

I have been playing with a new spec and priority system where I only cast Mind Blast after applying Vampiric Touch (which I need to have on my target to start replenishment anyhow)

This will be a none issue and I will not lose any noticeable amount of DPS.
