= Spec =
Q: What spec should I be as a holy priest?
A. If you are raiding T4, T5, or T6-pre-Sunwell content, and have (assumption) at least 2 resto shamans and 2 holy priests in the raid, the first priest should be 23/38/0 with 2/2 Improved Divine Spirit. The other priests should be deep Holy to pick up Circle of Healing, with points spent as you see fit. See further questions below for some indication as to where your points should be spent. This argument completely changes when you reach Sunwell, as CoH is decidedly overpowered for Felmyst, Twin Eredars, and (partially) Kil'Jaeden. In those situations, typically all priests spec CoH to bring the AE healing power to the raid.
Q: Is CoH worth it?
A: Depends on your level of content. If you're in T4 content, short answer is no. If you're in SSC/TK, it is situationally powerful. If you're in BT/HS, yes. Absolutely. Additionally, if you are going deep Holy (for 5/5 Emp Healing), you might as well take CoH, as the only other thing you can get is regular Divine Spirit, which someone else in your raid should already have. If you are going into Sunwell, the entire instance appears to have been designed to showcase CoH, so exploit early, exploit often.
Q: Is Lightwell worth a talent point?
A: Not really. Take it if you want; you won't lose anything extremely important. Looking forward toward WotLK, it appears as if Lightwell may get enough of a buff to make it worth taking. Stay tuned.
Q: Should I take SoR?
A: Yes. Full stop. The 5% spirit is worth it if nothing else.
Q: Should I take inspiration?
A: Yes. There's nothing else worth taking that is raid-centric at the 3rd tier of our holy tree, and it's amazing for tank healing. If you choose not to take it, you should always attempt to *not* heal tanks, since you will be gimped compared to any other holy priest or resto shaman who *does* have the talent. See below (Link) in the Interesting Math Stuff section.
Q: How good is Holy Concentration?
A: It's very good. The 6% proc rate means it goes off at least once a minute, which helps immeasureably in getting those oh-so-sexy OO5SR ticks that make priests so powerful. If you happen to get back-to-back procs, you can get some amazing regen time while sustaining very solid HpS.
Q: Holy Reach - yes/no?
A: If you are going for a CoH build, taking Healing Reach actually gives you a 35 yard diameter CoH, which is useful. For Sunwell, this is a must talent; find room to take it.
Q: Healing Prayers vs Mental Agility?
A: Mental Agility affects Renew, PW:S, PoM, and CoH; Healing Prayers affects PoM and PoH which, if you use PoH at all, is a net win. Some people argue for the 4% toward CoH versus 20% toward PoH and 16% toward PoM -- it really depends which one you use more. Basically, get some WWS logs, and find out how many of each spell you cast in a typical Black Temple (insert instance here) clear. Then compute how much you would have saved from each talent, and find your highest efficiency combination. Then spec that.
If you're spamming CoH, then take 5/5 MA. If you're using PoH occasionally, take 2/2 HP, because the amount of mana per cast it saves more than makes up for the 18 mana differential saved on each CoH from the 2nd point in MA. You'd have to cast 14 CoHs for every PoH to save more mana from taking the last 1/5 point in MA over 2/2 HP. Note that this is completely ignoring the 12% gain to efficiency in PoM you gain from going 4/5, 2/2. I find I use PoM a lot over a given raid, and I typically spec 4/5 MA, 2/2 HP.
Q: Can you give me some typical builds (a la WoW:Priest Forums).
A: 20/41/0 : Build with Silent Resolve; recommended for learning attempts
20/41/0 : Build without Silent Resolve; highest HpS build possible with heavy concentration in CoH
23/38/0 : Build with Silent Resolve; IDS / learning attempts
23/38/0 : Build without Silente Resolve; IDS and heavier concentration in single-target healing
Comments on the above: Silent Resolve is a useful talent, but it isn't critical once you are experienced with the encounters you are facing. If you are working on Black Temple, once you are finished with Illidan and on farm-mode, consider dropping points out of Silent Resolve to pick up other interesting things. Improved PW:S, while not an amazing talent, still provides much more return for your talent points if you are not using the threat reduction part of Silent Resolve. Similarly any points you can fit into Absolution will always be useful. If you are going IDS there is absolutely no reason to pick up Holy Reach, so put those points into Holy Concentration to push your critical rate higher. You will be healing tanks anyway (single-target), so you might as well have the highest possible HpS while doing it.
= Gearing Questions =
In Patch 2.3.0 Meditation was changed from 15% to 30%. In Patch 2.4.0 there was an entirely new regeneration model implemented which made Spirit much much more powerful than Mp5. In fact, the change was so extensive that there are almost no situations where a priest should choose Mp5 over Spirit.
When you are looking at a piece of gear, and asking yourself if it is an upgrade, there a number of questions you need to ask. Firstly, how would you gem the piece? Always compare pieces to each other fully gemmed (with or without socket bonuses depending on your gemming choices). If you are unsure about how to gem, try two or three or four different combinations, and see which one seems to give the best result.
Gear Benchmarks
Q: What level of gear should I be at for <insert progression level here>?
A: To run Karazhan: 1400 +heal, 180 Mp5 *or* 400 spirit. Easily obtained through crafted pieces.
At the end of Karazhan: 1600 +heal, 275 Mp5
At the end of T4 content: 1700 +heal, 325 Mp5
At the end of T5 content: 2000 +heal, 380 Mp5.
At the end of T6 content (BT/HS): 2400 +heal, 430 Mp5 (all Mp5 numbers are I5SR)
The question is often asked "How much haste do I need to do Sunwell?" There is no right answer to this question. Some people (myself included) entered Sunwell with 0 Spell Haste, picked up a little along the way, and only really began stacking it once Sunwell pieces were obtained. Other people walked into Sunwell with 250 Spell haste already, and only scaled it higher. See below for some discussion on the mathematics behind Spell haste, and how it effects HpS concerns for Greater Heal and CoH.
Also, see below (next subsection) for a discussion of Gemming, and how it impacts your decisions for gear.
Gearing as a priest in Black Temple / Hyjal Summit
I'm going to assume that our typical raiding priest is grinding out Black Temple. You might not have killed Illidan yet, but you're into T6 content. If you are not, and are happily chugging along in Karazhan or SSC/TK, similar things apply, but with different examples chosen.
If you are on your way to Illidan, things you should have equipped from previous instances include:
(Lurker Below, SSC)
(Kael'Thas Sunstrider, TK)
(Badge of Justice) or (Kael'Thas Sunstrider, TK)
(Akil'zon, Zul'Aman)
(Vashj, SSC)
(Badge of Justice) [note: Best in Slot until Sunwell ... buy these]
Basically, look for items with sockets, high spirit and intellect, large amounts of healing, and possibly spell haste. Do not wear items with Mp5 and no spirit -- these are decidedly inferior in every way to the spirit alternatives. Learn how to compute the regeneration from spirit, and compare items intelligently.
Example: with a equipped. You should know what your raid-buffed intellect is +/- 10. Know this number. Memorize it. I use the number 660.
Create a small table, something like:
Intellect: 35 Spirit: 52*1.05*1.1 Healing: 118+22+(52*1.1*1.05)*0.25 = 155 HSE Haste: 0 Regen: (I5SR) 0.30 * 5 * 0.0093271 * sqrt {Raid_buffed_int} * (52*1.05*1.1) = 21.7 Mp5 (OO5SR) 5 * 0.0093271 * sqrt {Raid_buffed_int} * (52*1.05*1.1) = 72.3 Mp5So effectively, you can think of (if you wish) as a robe with 155 Healing and 22 Mp5. That is effectively what you gain from the item, raid-buffed (Blessing of Kings, Spirit of Redemption). Make sure you include gems in any other robe you are comparing it to.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the only way to really make intelligent gear choices is to understand the mathematics behind gear scaling, and do the computations yourself. Be aware of how SoR, BoK, IDS and Spiritual Guidance all play factors in the scaling. Practice the comparison on a few items to make sure you know how it works.
Q: What rare gems do priests use?
(note: do not use -- it's a horrible gem)
replaces for those who like a little spirit in their life, since 4 spirit ~ 2 Mp5 I5SR
Q: What epic gems do priests use?
The power of the spirit gem has to be seen to be believed. Effectively, you lose some +heal to equip them, but gain a *lot* of regeneration, which allows you to mix up your gear a little and wear some healing-heavy, regeneration-light items to balance it out. I prefer running over 700 spirit raid-buffed, as I feel it provides the best bang for my buck.
: the most useful, and easiest to equip, metagem. The proc goes off quite often, and typically restores 4000+ mana over a 10 minute fight. Very useful, and the intellect also helps.
: useful metagem, but somewhat difficult to get activated. The 26 healing S&E is largely useless compared to 2500 +heal, whereas the mana return from IED above is still useful in end-game.
: easy to equip, but only really useful if you are spamming on a single target. The haste proc is powerful, and can be a significant part of your play style if you mess around with it and learn how to use it.
= Priest Regeneration (Math!) =
2.4 made a dramatic sweeping overhaul to the regeneration model. Previously, mana was computed as a regen per 'tick' (2 second interval), and depended upon your total spirit with a static scaling constant. In 2.4, the formula has been changed to be:
5 * 0.0093271 * Spirit * Square_root ( Intellect )(quite seriously; this is the formula. If you really don't like math, you still need to figure out a way to compute the square root of your Intellect and perform this calculation to determine how much regen you gain from spirit)
This makes Spirit incredibly more valuable as a stat for priests, and also makes intellect marginally useful, instead of merely giving us a mana pool to play with. It also approximately doubled our OO5SR regen (I personally went from 660 Mp5 OO5SR to over 1100 Mp5 OO5SR, a *slight* change).
Example: JoePriest has (fully raid-buffed) 500 spirit and 135 Mp5 from gearing, as well as 500 intellect. His regeneration will be:
[5 * 0.0093271 * 500 * sqrt{500}] + 135 = 656 Mp5 (OO5SR) => 521*0.30 + 135 = 291 Mp5 (I5SR)Note that any Mp5 gained from gear is not effected by the Meditation talent (30%), but simply applies statically to both Inside and Outside regen.
Q: How do I take advantage of OO5SR regen?
A: This is basically an experience thing, but take the talents Inner Focus and Holy Concentration, and start using /stopcasting macros (more info on the UI forum). Stop your casts anytime the tank does not need your heal, and start another one. Timed properly, this can get you full 5 second ticks OO5SR, which is worth a lot of regen.
Using a Holy concentration proc chained into an Inner Focus together with /stopcasting can easily give 15-20 seconds Oo5SR, while still landing two max-rank GH:7 heals. The third heal will terminate the II5SR time, but actually gives one final tick at full regen because of cast time.
Cheating the 5 Second Rule
Priest regen is all about cheating the 5 second rule. Blizzard's 5 second rule is currently set so that upon completion of a spell which *costs mana* (the critical factor), you enter a 5 second period (I5SR) where you regenerate mana at a reduced rate. This rate is dependent on your talent choices (Meditation = 30% regen I5SR) and upon your gear choices (3-piece Primal Mooncloth = 5% regen I5SR).
Given that priests gain so much regeneration from spirit, the typical difference between a regen tick I5SR and OO5SR is approximately 2x. It can range from 2x on the low-end (Mp5-heavy gear) to 3x on the high-end (spirit-heavy gear). In any case, a tick OO5SR is worth a minimum of 2x I5SR. My current gearing gives me 2.56x as much regeneration from an OO5SR tick as an I5SR tick, raid-buffed (since so many raid buffs are static Mp5).
So how do we cheat the rule?
Firstly, Inner Focus is a guaranteed way to exit the 5SR, since it makes your next cast "free" of mana, and hence does not trigger the rule. Typical sequence is something like:
- top up your tank target
- wait 2 seconds
- hit Inner Focus
- start /stopcasting GH:7 until heal is actually needed
- start a new heal -- when it lands, you re-enter the 5SR
If the tank is not getting owned, and if you are not the solo healer on that tank, you should be able to get 7-10 seconds OO5SR before the 2nd heal lands.
You can do exactly the same thing with Clearcasting, although it's a little harder to lead up to it, as Clearcasting is a random chance proc.
There are two trinkets in the game which can aid in this method of play. The first is , an annoying drop from Botanica (I say annoying because in 18 runs, it refused to drop for me, so I hate it). The second is a drop from Lurker Below in SSC, . Both have a 2-minute cooldown Use-Effect which increases your spirit by an amount for 15 seconds.
Thus, if your Inner Focus happens to be up at the same time as your trinkets, and you get a Clearcasting Proc, your sequence should be something like:
- wait 2 seconds (to get close to the end of your current 5 seconds)
- hit your trinket Use Effect
- start casting GH:7, use /stopcasting, land it before the Clearcasting Proc falls off
- hit Inner Focus
- repeat GH:7 /stopcasting
- start a mana-costing heal, enter the 5SR as it lands
You can easily get a full 15 seconds of trinketed regen by doing this, which results in approximately (with Earring and 500 spirit raid buffed) 3000 mana. This varies depending on how much Mp5 and spirit you have, but it's worth a minimum of the amount of mana in a Super Mana potion, and sometimes more (current numbers for high-end spirit gear exceed 3500 mana).
Additionally, if you use ItemRack as an addon, you can use a Script to switch in spirit-based weapons while you do this for a little more oomph. This can also be done manually with a bit more work.
Taking Advantage of Shadowfiend:
If you've played priest for long, you've learned to hate our stupid mana regen pets. They're slow, they randomly attack the stupidest things, and they generally return a variable amount of mana that is undependable. Despite this, they're the only game in town, so we're stuck with them.
First thing to realize is that your shadowfiend's attacks are most definitely modified by AC. Accordingly, if you have the option, tell it to attack something that has 5/5 Sunder Armor, Faerie Fire, and CoReck up. Bosses are good for this. Additionally, either macro in the "attack current target" command into your Shadowfiend use, or learn what it is keybound to. Spamming "attack you stupid beastie" can often be the difference between two extra ticks at the start, and none as your shadowfiend wanders off to attack the sheep on the other side of the instance (exaggeration, but still ... stupid thing).
Finally, if you are using your shadowfiend in an environment which has constant AE damage (example: Felmyst), you may want to macro in a /target Shadowfiend, /cast Power Word: Shield, as the shield, while costing mana, can often save the life of your Shadowfiend and restore 2-3 more ticks of mana to you.
= Downranking and Spell Coefficients =
Q: Is downranking spells still viable?
A: Of course. The changes to downranking made in TBC only removed our capacity for using Lesser Heal as a downranked spell, and penalized GH:1 a bit so that it wasn't completely overpowered. Given how much healing tanks need now, downranking to anything below GH:1 would be silly anyway.
Q: What spells are typically downranked?
A: Greater Heal 1 or Greater Heal 2 are easily spammable for a priest in T5 content, and GH:1 is still within reach for a priest in T4 content. Raid buffed, with full consumables and a tank with Amp Magic, GH:1 should hit for 2700+, for a minimal mana cost. It also scales fairly well with 5/5 Empowered Healing and Healing S&E gear, so that in full Sunwell gear, GH:1 will hit for ~3500, a *very* nice cheap spell to spam.
Downranking Math
In TBC a new system for downranking spells was introduced. There is a second coefficient modifier on the HSE portion of your spell value computation that is based on the rank of the spell you are using relative to your level.
Depending on what level you learned the spell, the coefficient changes. For example, if you go to: WoWHead: Greater Heal, you will see that we first learned Greater Heal: Rank 4 at level 58, we learned Greater Heal: Rank 5 at level 60, and so on.
The Downranking Coefficient is computed as "level at which you learned a new rank of the spell you are using"+5/current_level. To be more clear, consider the example of Greater Heal: Rank 4. We learned GH:4 at level 58. However, we learned a new rank of the spell at level 60. Thus, our downranking coefficient is (60+5)/70, or approximately 0.93.
When you are computing the value a spell will heal for, most priests are familiar with the spell cast time scaling. Every healing spell we cast (non-HoT; direct heals only) gets a HSE coefficient based on untalented cast time relative to 3.5. The two major ones that matter are:
- Greater Heal: 3.0/3.5 = 0.86
- Flash Heal: 1.5/3.5 = 0.43
When you go to compute a downranked spell value, however, you have to add in the second coefficient. The formula is:
[ Base_Healing_Range + HSE * Downranking_Coefficient * Cast_time_Coefficient ]
Thus, GH:4 gains 80% benefit from your Healing Spells & Effects, while GH:7 gains 86%. Of course, this is completely ignoring the talent Empowered Healing, which is detailed below.
Empowered Healing
Empowered Healing reads Your Greater Heal spell gains an additional 20% of your bonus healing effects. This isn't tremendously clear, but some discussion (credit: Robbins of <Goon Squad>) on the WotLK Priest thread has revealed that the benefit gained from Greater Heal is not restricted by the cast time coefficient. It is not clear whether or not it is effected by the Downranking coefficient, although my suspicion is that it is not.
The final formula for computing benefit to a Greater Heal from Empowered Healing, assuming Downranking and Cast Time coefficients:
[ Base_Healing_Range + HSE * Downranking_Coefficient * 3.0/3.5 + 0.20 * HSE]
Also, be aware that Spiritual Healing and 4-piece T6 bonus are both multiplicative at the end of the process listed above. Thus, your final computation for Greater Heal, assuming both of those things, is:
[ Base_Healing_Range + HSE * Downranking_Coefficient * 3.0/3.5 + 0.20 * HSE] *1.1*1.05
= Raiding as a Healing Priest =
Q: What spells should I typically be using?
This is a tough question. Every fight is different. I'll try to give an idea of different roles, and how each one uses our unique spells.
Tank Healing: Renew, GH:1,2,7, PoM, occasionally PW:S. Your primary duty here is to keep Renew up to smooth out damage, and keep a GH in the pipe all the time. When you can afford the mana, bounce a PoM off your tank for an easy 1000+ threat (roughly equivalent to a shield slam for a warrior). If you are on the move, hit the tank with PW:S and PoM to smooth out damage as you run -- instant casts are what make us better than paladins for some healing duties: use them.
Raid Healing: predictable damage can be healed, assuming the group is setup properly, with PoH and CoH. Be aware that CoH, while incredibly efficient (roughly 23 HpM), is less HPS than PoH, and if you *really* need to heal up a group, CoH may not be fast enough. [CoH works out to about 3.2k HpS, assuming 5 targets; PoH is 3.8k HpS]. If the damage is periodic, and you know you'll have 10 seconds before anyone will take damage again, use Renew 12 or GH:2. They both (at T5-levels of gearing) heal for about the same (3500-ish), and cost about the same amount of mana.
If you are clearing trash, and there is a lot of random AE damage coming your way (examples: RoF from Fearbringers in BT, poison volley from Lurkers in SSC, etc.), use whatever you have to in order to keep the raid alive. Trash (except for HS) is an example of a time when HpS is far more important than HpM. It's extremely rare to run out of mana on a 3-minute trash pull, so screw efficiency -- heal the raid. Keep people alive. Trash clears are one situation where Flash Heal is an acceptable spell to use, simply because it is fast (GCD), and heals for enough to matter (2500+). It's relatively expensive, but it's better to get 3 people topped up plus a PW:S in 5 seconds than to heal 2 people with GH.
Just don't get trapped into the mentality that "trash = Flash Heal". Be willing to use Flash Heal if people need a heal Right Now , but use GH and our efficient spells when you can.
AE Healing: CoH rocks. Full stop. Its efficiency is obscene and it is an instant cast (on the move AE healing = win). If you are planning on doing a lot of AE heals, get and use CoH. You will be grateful you did.
How to Cross Heal Effectively
This is roughly an extension of the above paragraph on Raid Healing. Basically, there are two situations where a priest will be cross-healing a raid during a boss fight.
Situation 1: predictable incoming damage, along with some random variability. Examples: Morogrim Tidewalker, High Warlord Naj'entus, Anetheron, Felmyst.
The keys with this fight is *not* to go nuts and spam heals like a madman, aiming desperately to get everyone in range of you topped up Right Now. You need to know the total amount of incoming damage, and be perfectly aware of what can happen that will take someone at 20% life to 0% life. You also *must* know your responsibilities, and not stray outside them too much -- part of your job is preserving enough mana to heal the entire fight.
For example, if you spam heals like mad on Naj'entus, using Flash Heal and other inefficient spells, you will go OOM in about ... 90 seconds. The fight is roughly 5-6 minutes long. Your assigned people will die about 120 seconds in, because you screwed up and went OOM.
Know what the incoming damage is, and know what else can happen. On Morogrim, the key is mostly to get everyone above 6500 HP as quickly as possible, and rely on the Watery Grave healers to catch graved people and top them up. You're just trying to keep them from being so low that they can't be caught up. On Naj'entus, you know that splashes are coming for 3500+ damage, and that initial impact from a spine + first tick is about 6000 damage. First priority: get everyone above 4k HP. Second priority: everyone above 6.5k HP. Third priority: top them all the way up.
First priorities are situations where you use anything you have. Timing a PoH for just after the Naj'entus shield is actually a great way to conserve some mana while healing for a ton (2500 x 5, talented, results in approx. 15 HpM, while also being very time effective). As a comparison, if you used a GH:1 on each of those people, it would take you 4.1x longer to heal them up, and would actually cost 2x as much mana.
Always balance a heal with the question : do I have to top this person up right now, or do I have 5 seconds, or do I have 15 seconds? On Morogrim, most of the time, you can afford to use Renew, which is extremely efficient. It's also a GCD for 4k+ healing.
If you *have* to top someone up right right now, use Flash Heal. It's faster than anything else you have, and it heals for a reasonable amount. If you think you have time, use Greater Heal. If you *know* you have time, use Renew.
And the rest is experience. Learn to feel the rhythm of the fight, and know where the incoming damage spikes are. If you see a tank spike, and you're on raid healing, feel free to use a GCD to help out the tank healers, assuming you can afford the mana and the time. Saving a tank is not a wrong thing to do. Just never screw up your own responsibilities because you were spending too much time worrying about other people's jobs. If you're on cross-healing, trust the tank healers (most of the time). Let them do their jobs, and you do yours.
One final note: watch the other healers. Most of the time, a tank healer cannot afford the time to stop and heal themselves up. It is incredibly helpful for you to Renew a healer in passing, if it saves them 2.0+ seconds where they would have had to stop healing a tank to heal themselves, and possibly lost the tank in the process.
Situation 2: large incoming damage, but focused on a small subset of the raid population. Examples include Bloodboil, Hydross, Solarian, Illhoof, etc..
You know there is incoming damage, you know roughly how much it will be, but the target is RSTS. Frost Tombs on Hydross are an example. Solarian's Arcane Missiles is another. In this situation, it's almost always (excepting Bloodboil as an obvious counter-example) focused on one single person at a time, but that person is taking a tremendous amount of damage. A 100% frost tomb will kill 30-40% of the raid straight-out. They just don't have enough stamina to survive it.
In a situation like this, healing the person is highest priority. If you time it right, and you are in the right place, use efficient (but appropriately sized) heals. Catching a Frost Tomb @ 100% and landing a GH:4 on that person when you started the cast early enough is just fine. But if you're late, burn inefficient spells in order to save the person. If you're on the run, and see someone get Tombed, a PoM might be enough to save them. Or a PW:S. If you're assisting others in healing an AM target, PW:S on a target you got to late might be enough to save them until the FoL lands.
Situations like this are a balance between making sure people survive, and doing your best to use efficiency. Often, saving lives >> efficiency. Just be aware of fights like this, and do whatever you can to save mana here and there.
On Hydross, heal up Frost Tombs fast, and then take 0-50% of Nature off. No-one will die or even come close to dying from a 25% nature DoT. This is your time to get some burst regen. Use it.
For Bloodboil, CoH is amazing. I can easily heal two groups by myself, provided people stay within 35 yards of one another, and with the help of a good restoration shaman, 3 groups is well within reach. 2 CoH priests is actual ideal for this setup, but work with whatever your raid has available.
Threat Mechanics and You
There are two things you need to know about threat as a priest, and they are spells: Fade, and Prayer of Mending.
Fade: Fade out, discouraging enemies from attacking you for 10 sec. . Note that the threat lost from Fade is regained in full once the 10 second duration finishes, and that you continue accruing threat while Fade is up. It is extremely useful in some situations, and completely useless in others. Make sure you have it keybound or located in a convenient click spot; it can save your butt in numerous situations.
Also be aware that Fade acts as a straight subtractive threat modifier, which actually (used intelligently) can put you below body aggro threat levels on a mob. This can be extremely useful in places like Hyjal Summit when you are trying to shackle something without getting 4 shadowbolts to the face. If you wait until the wave initially aggro's on something (like a shaman's totem) and begin running into your raid, hit fade, and then run forward, you can reliably shackle without getting owned. Anyone in combat with the mobs will have 1 more threat than you do (until you use an ability), which means you won't get ripped apart. Just make sure other people are in combat first ... or you rapidly become a greasy smear.
Prayer of Mending: when Prayer of Mending procs (i.e. dmg taken, PoM charge gets used up), the threat from the healing done is attributed directly to the person being healed. This is incredibly useful for tank threat, as you can put PoM and a PW:S up on a tank just before the pull, and instantly refresh the PoM when the first charge is used up for an easy 2k+ threat for your tank. This is enough to land a 4k heal without pulling aggro: very useful for heroics where you have no salv and no CC.
Some people will try to tell you that pre-shielding a tank on a pull results in less threat, or a rage-starved tank. Unless you're running something with a fully kitted out mitigation-gear T6 tank (basically passive-crush-immune gear), this is patently false. Every mob of significance in end-game raiding hits for 3k+, and a PW:S+PoM will basically eliminate the first attack from the table, without causing *any* threat to you, as a healer. It is far better to keep the tank alive through the first 2-3 attacks than to worry about how much rage he is getting from those attacks. Realistically, almost every boss is pulled with Misdirect + Earth Shield + PoM + trinketed Shield Slam (warriors) anyway, so rage isn't really an issue when the boss is locked onto the tank and will be beating the crap out of him Very Soon Now. If your tanks really suck and need that rage to build threat ... then you're probably going to pull it off them on the first heal anyway, which negates the argument.
Overhealing and You
Some people pre-TBC would claim that anything over 20% overheal was a lack of skill, and clearly showed that you were a poor healer. There remain some who seem to think that overhealing is somehow bad.
Typical best-case numbers for tank healing in T5/T6 content is 30% overheal (for a priest); more typical numbers are 50%+. The reasons for this are fairly simple. Firstly, tanks are taking more damage than ever. It is not uncommon for a crushing blow to strike a tank for 9500+ when it manages to sneak past Shield Block (especially parry-hasted crushings). Accordingly, any direct healer responsible for tank healing will always have a heal casting, and will be using /stopcasting to interrupt it and start a new one if the tank does not need the heal (dodge, parry, miss).
Unfortunately, we do not play in a zero-lag predictable environment. And if comes down to you landing a complete overheal for 3500, and letting a tank die, you overheal the tank. Many priests' primary "nuke" heal is GH:2, healing for 3500-ish raid-buffed. If the tank still needs any healing when you hit the 1.9 second mark of your heal, just let it land. Yes, maybe the druid HoTs or a paladin will finish topping up the tank in those 0.6 seconds remaining. But maybe not. And if it heals for anything, it's worth spending those 0.6 seconds landing a heal than to interrupt, and be a full 2.5 seconds from landing any healing.
Always *work* on your overhealing, and try to avoid landing 100% overheal hits on a tank during a boss fight. Focus on your /stopcasting and Quartz lag-bar can help a lot with this, as can effective coordination between healers, and, if you have the luxury, use of 2 tree druids as primary tank healers. 2 Lifeblooms, 2 Rejuvs, and 2 Regrowths smooths out tank spikes so effectively that your overheal % will drop tremendously, because you will only have to land a heal if the tank is down enough to truly justify it.
Healing with higher latencies: (written by Eleanor of <Driven> on Hyjal-US)
If you are like many of us who aren't blessed with sub 100ms ping but instead play from Australasia or on a slow connection you can still be a top notch healer. However you will find that you may have to adopt a different healing style to healers with lower latency. These notes are mainly aimed at those with latency in the 400-800 ping range. This is high enough to be really noticeable but not so high as to render the game unplayable.
Effects of higher latency include:
1. Increased overheal
2. Increased environmental damage (charred earth, void zones etc)
3. Slower reaction times
4. Less time for time critical tasks such as killing your inner demon
Overheal: this is increased because while the target looks like they are down in HP when your heal goes off on your client they have in reality been healed by someone else in the half second it takes for that information to reach your computer.
Increased environmental damage: You will inevitably take at least one tick of damage from environmental effects that are randomly targeted on you. This is because of...
Slower reaction times: Most environmental abilities give you about 1.5 seconds before you take damage for standing in them but latency will totally eat up this slack time. Typically you will be notified 1/2 a second after the server places you into the effect. Recognition and reaction to the effect takes at least 1/2 a second and then the return trip to the server will take up another 1/2 a second before your character actually starts moving. You may find that extra stamina and defensive talents such as spell warding an asset for these events. Aditionally if moving your character is often not where you think it is and if you die you experience a jumpback effect as the client repositions your corpse where the server thinks you are.
A /stopcast strategy is much harder to use effectively with higher latency as even using a mod such as quartz you often have to stop your heal over a second before it is due to complete. This is because of how casting latency can build up during intense fights. Also you can't put as much trust in the reported life totals of the target.
While such a strategy can still be employed you may have more luck with a spamming greaterheal 1 or 2 strategy where you just let it land regardless. You will find with a strategy like this that the tank has in fact taken damage in the lag gap between you and the server and you have actually landed a useful heal.
To be an effective healer with higher latency you really have to be constantly acting/planning ahead of the action as much as possible. E.g. moving earlier than others for predictable effects and making sure you have your next heal planned and the recipient selected before your current heal finishes. obviously all healers should be doing this but your margin for error is much lower with higher latency so it becomes more important to you.
Try to ask for healing assignments that play to what you can do well such as healing the tank or predictable damage and try to avoid tasks that require fast reactions such as dispelling or fast spot healing, players with lower latency will always carry out these tasks better than you can.
The T5 2-piece Set Bonus
... is sexy. Oh-so sexy. If you are using GH as your primary spell in any fight, put 2-piece T5 on. 100 mana back from every single GH that actually tops up a tank works out to the equivalent of 2 mana pots over a typical 10 minute fight. It also reduces the cost of GH:1 to 214 mana (talented) ... which is less than most priests' Mp5 I5SR. It's amazing. Get it. Use it. Love it. Even in 2.4, with our massive new regen, this is a useful thing to have. There is a point where it isn't worth wearing yet, but I'm not sure I've found the exact cutoff.
= Consumables =
Food: or
Oil: or (easier) or (for +heal) (dmg+heal works)
Potions: or *plus*
The best consumable of all:
(equivalent to 100 Mp5 if chain-used)
Other things you can use:
(additional healthstones in your bags)
Note that in 2.4, you don't want to use . In 2.4 terms, given raid-buffed stats of 600 intellect, 715 spirit, assuming a 10-minute fight, and IDS, for a priest:
#1: : 23 Mp5 I5SR, 56 Mp5 OO5SR
#2: : 25 Mp5 I5SR, 25 Mp5 OO5SR
#3: + : +62 Healing S&E, 23Mp5 I5SR, 67 Mp5 OO5SR
#4: + : +18 Healing S&E, 40 Mp5 I5SR, 118 Mp5 OO5SR
= Useful Addons and User Layout =
Typical healer layout has some small variations, but is centered around the idea of having the complete raid in front of you (currently 25 bars+tank targets), with easily observable health totals, and some method of debuff curing.
If you're starting from scratch, the first thing you should do is:
Replace your unit frames: ag_UF or Pitbull
as the base-WoW unit frames are horrid. Set these up in a convenient spot on your screen, and make sure you configure them fully to show health details and debuffs.
Second thing you should do is:
Replace your raid frames: GRID, Pitbull, sRaidFrames and tank targets: oRA2, Pitbull
and make sure you fully configure the setup to show debuffs and buffs easily. Aggro notification is also a neat feature which can warn you of who will soon need heals.
From here, you can pick and choose which addons you'd like to use, starting with:
Custom Bar Mod: Bartender3, Bongos. Something to let you organize, hide, and keybind all your abilities. Setting up a hidden bar that contains your primary 10+ keybinds is a great way to free up some real estate on-screen.
and adding some raid utility:
Omen/Threat-1.0: useful to tell when the tank is going to lose a mob which will subsequently eat me for lunch.
Deadly Boss Mods, BigWigs: timers, boss warnings, aggro notifications, all sorts of handy things.
and then add some personal organization:
ArkInventory, AllInOne: bag mods to help organize your crap. ArkInventory is especially good because it allows for custom rule-sets which divide up your stuff into little categories (like consumables, potions, dps gear, etc).
Prat: organize your chat tabs in an efficient way, and add some fun features.
FuBar: extremely useful addon, with some amazing little plugins. Give it a try. One you should definitely get is RegenFu.
Quartz: infinitely useful for /stopcasting. Definitely recommended.
SCT: very useful as a visual tracker for healing and overheals, without having to watch a combat log scrolling by. Alternative from Ace2 is Parrot
CasterWeaponSwapper: amazing for switching weapons on the fly, or to get SpellSurge procs.
Clique: an absolute must for click-dispelling and generally for interacting with GRID in many useful and interesting ways. I personally use ALT+LClick and ALT+RClick as Dispel Magic and Abolish Disease respectively. It saves a lot of time.
If you're interested in UI design, swing by the User Interface and Addons forum and read some of the threads there.
Setting up GRID to be useful as a Priest:
When you to go to download GRID, be aware that many of its most useful parts come as addons to GRID, and must be downloaded separately. My list of sub-addons includes:
(to go files.wowace.com to see all possibilities)
and does not include:
GridFrameAutoSize (I found it to be buggy and of little use)
Once you have all of these downloaded and installed, load into WoW. I highly suggest another addon: FuBar, which makes (imo) configuring GRID much less painless.
Now, first thing you want to do is go GRID -> Frame -> Advanced -> and configure the Frame Width and Height. GRID refers to an individual in the raid as a 'Frame', so this is essentially your unit bar inside the GRID space. Configure this to a reasonable size.
Now that you have it to a good size, edit the name length by going GRID->Frame->CenterTextLength. I have mine set to 20; your mileage may vary.
Now go GRID->Frame->CenterText and set it to display what you want (I have Name listed here). Then go GRID->Frame->CenterText2 and set it to what you want (I have Health Deficit, AFK, Feign Death, and Dead listed here). This gets your text bars setup.
Now for mana/energy/rage bars. GRID->Status->ManaBars->Side (Bottom), ->Hide Non-Mana Bars (disable), and ensure ->Enable is clicked. This gives a nice blue/red/yellow bar at the bottom. You can modify its height in ->ManaBars as well, if you choose to do so.
For debuff display, go GRID->Status->Auras-> and you can then ->Add New Debuff. I use this to display things like Burn (Brutallus), Encapsulate (Felmyst), Bloodboil (Bloodboil), and so on. Once you have set a debuff here, go to GRID->Frame->Center Icon and enable the Debuff you just created to have it appear in the center of the frame as a purty little icon.
GRID->Layout->Raid Layout is handy for setting it up as you'd like it; I personally use By Raid (25) and don't bother with pets, because hunters are whiny.
GRID->GridAlert is handy for setting it up so that one someone is debuffed with something you can cleanse, it will go SPRONG (audio) and alert you to the issue.
Next, we need to make sure Clique can interact with GRID, so load up Clique, and choose "Options" at the bottom. Make sure anything labelled "Grid" is clicked on. This will let you setup mouse-click macros in Clique for dispelling, which is quite amazing, if I say so myself.
Finally, there are a couple of options you can mess with in GRID->Frame->(anything Corner) // (anything Icon) which will let you setup small icons/lights that will light up on certain circumstances. I use mine to show when people have aggro, when people have Renew ticking on them (from me), when people are missing buffs, and so on. It's quite powerful, and is the *real* reason you want to use GRID over any other raid frame.
From here, the sky is the limit. Configure!
Making Pitbull play nice and display Raid Debuffs
(note: I still recommend GRID, but for you die-hard Pitbull users, here's some helpful tips from Distomos of <Vindicatum> on Icecrown):
1. Open up PitBull and go to the frame where you want the notification to appear. This is going to be "raid" for this instance, but you can also do this for PvP and what-not, as well. For this example, I'll use Flame Sear and Conflagration from Eredar Twins as a debuff example.
(Note: If it's for your raid frames, you must be currently in a raid to configure it.)
2. Click on "Texts"
3. Click on "Other"
4. Click on "New Text" -- type in something like "Sear Notice" and press enter.
5. Go to your "Sear Notice" on the text list.
6. Pick a frame location for it. On my layout, "Inside, Left" looks best because it goes right over the person's name but still allows the health percentage to show.
7. Go to "Style - Custom" and paste:
[Outline][(if HasAura("Flame Sear") then
"Flame Sear! ":Red
end) (if HasAura("Conflagration") then
"Conflag! ":Yellow
If you wanted to do a single debuff for a boss, it would look like this:
[Outline][(if HasAura("Fire Bloom") then
"Bloom! ":Red
8. Press "save" and close your configuration window. I chose red for the Flame Sear notices and yellow for the Conflagration notices. You can pick any color you want. Adjust the font size as you see fit, as well.
Should work! Replace "Flame Sear" with "Power Word: Shield" to test.

Keighley Cougars 10-20 Swinton Lions
Swinton off the bottom
Swinton lifted themselves off the foot of the Kingstone Press Championship with a 20-10 win over Keighley at Cougar Park in their first match since the resignation of head coach Steve McCormack.
The Lions, with assistant player-coach Ian Watson in charge, fell behind to a try from Keighley's Sean Hesketh but levelled through James Mendelka and added further tries in the second half through Gavin Bennion and David Mills to clinch a first win of the season.
Winger Paul White scored a second try for the Cougars, which earned them a bonus point, but it was not enough to prevent them dropping below their visitors in the table.

Yes. I have an older HP laser printer connected to the USB port of an airport express and it allows me to print wirelessly from my iMac to the printer. I did have to configure the airport express to function this way and it is dedicated to that printer only.

In a world where smartphone users cringe at the thought of paying more than 99 cents for the latest apps, can you imagine paying $1,000 for an iPhone app that, say, helps ease your stuttering? How about paying that much for an app that helps you prepare for the state bar exam? Those are just a sample of the mobile apps that are part of an elite list of software for your iPhone or iPad — the most expensive apps on the iTunes App Store. Here are some of the costliest iTunes apps, according to mobile app data analysts Distimo. Agro (iPhone/iPad, $999.99) » This app helps agronomists (they study soil management and the production of field crops) create and distribute field inspection reports. "No matter what field of agronomy you specialize in, vineyards, orchards, broad acre farming, sugar cane or small-time domestic, this app will save you time and increase your bottom line by eliminating duplication of paperwork," according to its iTunes description. MobiGage Laser (iPhone/iPad, $999.99) » A metrology application that works with a Leica laser for the measuring of materials in manufacturing plants. It can be used in the production of airplanes and cars, for example. "The reason it's $1,000 is because Apple won't let us charge $25,000. That is what the competition is charging for their PC versions," said Frank Ruotolo, president of Titansan Engineering, which makes MobiGage. BarMax (iPhone/iPad, $999.99) » BarMax is a prep course for either the California or New York bar exam. It comes with past test questions, essays and audio lectures. The company also is planning to produce courses for Texas, Illinois and Florida. And at 1.4 gigabytes, it's also one of the largest apps in iTunes. Sina Mobasser, co-founder of TestMax Inc., which makes the app, says at $1,000 his app is still a much better value than using more traditional courses.
"The most popular player in [this field] still relies on sending you 50 pounds of books and an iPod full of audio lectures," said Mobasser, who said about 500 students have purchased the app. "And they charge close to $4,000."
iStutter (iPhone, $999.99) »
This app helps stutterers with their speech. "It analyzes vocal fold activity and selectively provides delayed auditory feedback (DAF) when the user's speech is too fast or the user is stuttering," according to its description.
iVIP Black (iPhone, $999.99) »
A "premium lifestyle" app that's like a license for the good life, it gets you personalized attention and special treatment at select luxury venues such as hotels and resorts. It also allows you to book private jets, yachts, private islands and more. To even own this app, the user must certify that he or she has a net worth of at least $1 million.
Engine Connect (iPad, $999.99) »
Now, TV weather forecasters, sportscasters and news anchors can use an iPad to manipulate animations and graphics such as weather maps on the television screen as viewers watch them.
Android apps
Unlike iTunes, where there are restrictions against selling joke apps that do nothing for exorbitant prices, the Android Market is rife with such apps. They make up some of the most expensive for Android phones, according to Distimo.
Black Diamond ($200) »
All this nonfunctioning app does is give you a wallpaper of a black diamond. "Own the most expensive app in the Market. Just Because I'm rich and I can!!" according to its description. (Meanwhile, the Blue Diamond app, which is exactly the same except for the color, is now available for free!)
Vuvuzela World Cup Horn Plus ($200) »
At least this app does something. Shake it and a vuvuzela horn on the screen begins to blare. Shake it again and it stops.

The line for gas at the East Norwich Gulf Station stretched five blocks on Monday afternoon, wrapping around Northern Blvd. and down Oyster Bay Road to Gilbert Court. This is the new normal in post-Hurricane Sandy Long Island as one of the worst gas shortages persists.
Closed down for 20 minutes at around 2:45 p.m. Monday, people at the Gulf station were becoming restless. A woman with a coffee and sunglasses stepped into the mechanic's bay where the employees were eating sandwiches and accused them of "taking a lunch break" before stepping back outside.
"We explained to her what's going on and she still says we're on lunch break," said Owner Dalvinder Singh. "The last four days we've been constantly helping the community. Our guys slept two hours a day. We had to shut the generator off to make it cool. We'll put the power back on in half an hour and everything will be fine."
A cluster of people sat talking and waiting with gas cans around the empty pumps while the cars idled up the street. The 20,000 gallons in the ground would surely be used up in no time and the pumps empty again before the next delivery on Tuesday, they weren't taking any chances.
"I've been waiting for nine hours, I'm ready to kill myself," Jason, from Locust Valley, joked. He pulled into Oyster Bay Hess at 4 a.m. Monday morning in anticipation of an 8 a.m. gas delivery. No such luck.
Gas deliveries were delayed and by hours and he left emptyhanded. Leaving his car parked in line along with dozens of others, he had a friend drop him off at Gulf with five gas cans.
"I didn't go to work today because I have no gas," he said, adding that he will return home to a house without power and without a generator.
Despite frustration and frayed nerves, people on line for gas a Gulf were relatively calm and there had been no traffic accidents despite the unorthodox formation. "As long as they stay in line, there's not much we can do about," said a Nassau Police Officer directing traffic at the scene. "If people can get around them and they don't block any exits, they're fine."
He warned, however, that people who park their cars in the street to save a spot for gas may be towed and impounded. "But if no one complains they may get away with it," he added.
At the very end of the line, past La Pizzetta near Gilbert Court, Cheryl DeCarlo from East Norwich sat in her small SUV with the engine shut off. In 30 minutes she had moved one block, another hour of waiting and she'll have reached her limit.
Sunday night her husband was the last in line before the pumps shut down, a common bugaboo of those in the gas galleys. "I'm concerned that when I get there, there won't be anything left," she said.
Hopefully she's wrong.

I am just enjoying watching Wilson do great things while Mel sat there and just criticized him and if Wagner keeps up his play he will probably be the 2nd favorite Hawk behind Wilson.
Maybe Bruce will be 2nd Favorite though fans have already started the WVU chants "BRUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCEEEEE"
Schneider is such a good drafter though:
Not to mention Scruggs who has been pretty good at getting pressure on the QB and he was a 7th round pick.

text: I am working through large stacks of heterogeneous paper, processing it through the GTD flow chart. Thankfully much is trash, but a lot gets filed and has a corresponding project entry or a simple NA. While I am making progress, it is slow, my usual speed being 7 items in 15 minutes (I have a click counter as I have had to count people at events). Some things I am doing to move faster: calendar entries now go on a month-at-time calendar so I am not thumbing through planner as each date generating item appears before me, possible projects go on index cards so that I can sort them later into active vs SDMB, and do some linking and developing of subprojects, simple NAs go on index cards (I will put them in contexts later. Using the cards keeps me from reading through abut 100 projects I already have on paper to see if the item at hand is related to one in the system yet. The priority is moving the stuff through the system and when I am done I will review the projects on the cards, subdividing or integrating or eliminating, etc. I feel that I should be a point where I can process the giant IN box faster than before but in fact I have more files to walk my fingers through before finding the right one (I am up to four bankers boxes). I have subdivided the comprehensive file system so that financial and vital personal papers are in one box, house remodeling and redecorating are in another, and I am thinking about making family and friends a separate box too. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I am finding all this filing exhausting. Otherwise, it is going really quite well! Any suggestions on increasing speed and reducing fatigue appreciated.

The text for your new Lightning Digital AV Adapter needs a clearer explanation of its resolution limits. The older 30-pin Digital AV Adapter says your iPad is mirrored on an "HDMI-compatible display in up to 1080p HD (movies play at up to 720p)." Are the same limitations in effect here?

The overview states that the adapter "will display in up to 720p on your HDMI-equipment". Then it goes on to say the adapter also displays in 1080p??
"Use the Lightning Digital AV Adapter to mirror whatever's on your iPad with Retina display, iPad mini, iPhone 5, and iPod touch (5th generation) with Lightning connector — apps, presentations, websites, slideshows, and more — on your HDMI-equipped TV, display, projector, or other compatible display in up to 720p HD. Video mirroring is supported on all compatible devices.
Watch video on the big screen in up to 1080p by connecting your device with Lightning connector to a television, projector, or other HDMI-compatible display. Video out supports up to 1080p for iPad mini, iPad with Retina display, iPhone 5, and iPod touch (5th generation)."- Asked by Kathrynn L from Oakland

Will this crazy setup work?
Hey guys,
I've planned quite the complicated setup for the iPad Mini in my car for video and audio. First, I plug the Lightning to HDMI Adapter into the iPad.
From the HDMI branch of the adapter:
A1. HDMI cable
A2. HDMI to composite converter (ViewHD)
A3. Composite cable
I'll be using these for video output only – not sound. I'm assuming the display mirroring will work; however, I'm concerned about interfacing the different resolutions of the iPad Mini and the car head unit. Also, would it be a better idea to go with VGA stuff instead of HDMI?
From the Lightning branch of the adapter:
B1. Lightning to 30-pin adapter, 0.2 m
B2. 30-pin car-integrated iPod cable
I'm looking to get audio, charge, and music control from this branch. I get all three currently from just the 30-pin car-integrated iPod cable; I wonder if any of the functions will be lost along the way.
Please let me know if this will all work!- Asked by Alexander K from Rockville Centre

Today The Lancet has published a study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in Seattle which uses a new model to estimate global malaria deaths.
The study estimates over 1.2 million lives were lost to malaria in 2010, almost twice the estimates used by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in its most recent malaria report. Whilst both approaches maintain that the majority of lives lost to malaria are in Africa – which bears 91% of all deaths – and amongst young children. The difference in the IHME's data is the assumption that higher numbers of older children and adults in heavy-burden malaria areas are dying from the disease.
Whilst the total numbers may be different, "however you look at it, far too many people are dying from malaria," Professor David Schellenberg, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine told the BBC.
But there is good news, as Annemarie Meyer, Programme and Policy Manager at Malaria No More UK explains: "the main trends reported by both the IHME and WHO reports highlight that international efforts to fight malaria are working with a consistent and significant reduction in malaria deaths since 2004. This progress is thanks to investments in efforts to prevent, diagnose and treat malaria, we need to continue to press for more resources to sustain these gains and save more lives."
Malaria No More UK spoke to a number of experts ahead of the publication of the study. Many of our own policy advisors have also been involved in reviewing and responding to the study data. It is important to note that global malaria data relies on estimates, as Lancet editor Richard Horton pointed out to the BBC this morning, "Right now we don't actually have any reliable primary numbers for malaria deaths in some of the most malarious regions of the world, so what numbers we have come from estimates."
Better disease diagnosis and surveillance is needed, ultimately, to remove the reliance on data modeling like these. As Professor David Schellenberg also told the BBC "The introduction of rapid diagnostic tests for malaria, recommended by the WHO in 2010 and increasingly available in endemic countries, affords an unprecedented opportunity to take the guesswork out of malaria diagnosis and to improve the reliability of information."
Annemarie Meyer adds, "the WHO already recommends that essential malaria prevention, diagnosis and treatment should be made available to both adults and children: we all agree that efforts need be increased to reach everyone at risk."
It is critically important to sustaining and increasing efforts to combat this deadly disease. The IHME study's authors emphasised the importance of sustaining and increasing efforts to combat malaria, and recognised the contribution of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria in achieving success so far. With international financing for malaria, and particularly funding for the Global Fund facing significant shortfalls in meeting the need, it is more important than ever to increase our efforts to sustain international support.
Malaria No More UK, along with the Global Poverty Project and a host of other organisations focussed on tackling HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria have been calling for increased funding for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. We have been asking people to lend their voice to this campaign: to sign a petition and write to their MP to help persuade the British government to announce an increase in financial support for the Fund.

Graffiti artist, painter, revolutionary, vandal, the name Banksy elicits a variety of attributes. People say he was born in 1975, that he is from Bristol and he moved to London in 2000, that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are big fans, that he has a silver tooth, and his parents believe him to be a painter or an interior decorator.
I came across one of his creations a few years ago and have followed his work ever since because I enjoy the wit, the humor, and even the causticity he employs in order to make his message subtle, yet accessible, simple, yet penetrating.
I do not contest that Banksy is an enigma, one that is also wrapped in a conundrum. But, I don't really care who he is, or what car he drives and where he buys his groceries. The only matter of concern to me is his art and more importantly, its moral.
Below are a few more of my favorite Banksy works.
Until next time,

We teach kids that there's a right way and a wrong way to do things. In our West Side child-care center, we reinforce this lesson every day.
That's why it's troubling to see the YMCA and its partners ignore safety concerns and government rules to place 190 homeless adults in a building next to our child-care center. What's worse, no public body ever has approved the use of the property for that purpose. The plan was so hastily conceived that all 190 residents will be forced to rely on a few portable toilets in the property's parking lot, right next to our play area.
Unfortunately, there's been only sporadic communication about this. The public meetings the YMCA organized gave little prior notice and were located and timed to prevent people from attending. One public meeting was scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Beggars Night. Our only recourse was to file a lawsuit asking a judge to enforce the zoning rules.
We learned that this location was chosen as a last resort because those responsible for finding shelter for the homeless simply ran out of time. Choosing the wrong location out of desperation does the neighborhood, the children who attend our facility and their families a disservice.
And ignoring rules just because they ran out of time isn't right, either. Zoning rules exist for a reason; when we recently built a new facility, we followed all of the zoning laws because we want to keep our kids safe. Zoning conditions protect children. That's why they should be enforced.
What's more, several people have pointed out that placing 190 homeless adults — many with drug addictions and lengthy criminal records — next to a child-care center is a tragedy waiting to happen. In fact, we recently had an incident where an aggressive homeless man came to the center after dark. He yelled at, harassed, and demanded money from a parent. The confrontation frightened the parent, her children and our staff.
That happened even before the shelter was open. What can we expect when 190 homeless adults begin to make their way to our center and the apartments full of young families that are adjacent to us?
We care about the homeless and we understand they need shelter. But everyone, including those trying to find shelter for the homeless, must follow the same zoning rules. In this case, that hasn't happened, and that's why we hope the judge on the case will enforce the law.

Police believe the LCC student was involved in the vandalism of the Capitol Building last week, along with the war memorial on the same grounds. He is also being charged for the spray paint found on campus and in the city around the same time.
The charges are one felony count for malicious destruction of tombs and memorials, and two misdemeanor counts for defacing public property.
Handley is being held on a $7,500 bond and will be in court for his preliminary exam on September 20.

SVT rigs should feel right at home with Traynor's pummeling powerhouse. The amp was designed with those massive, rumbling tones in mind and coupled with considerations for modern reliability.
The YBA300's circuit is entirely tube-based, which is sadly a rarity in the worldof modern bass amps. Three 12AX7sprocess the preamp signal, along with a12AU7 acting as a driver between thepreamp and power amp. Speaking ofthe power amp, the YBA300's absolutelyridiculous amount of volume is fueledby 12 power-amp tubes, which can eas-ily be switched between 6L6's and EL34'svia a panel on the back of the amp. Witha maximum wattage of 300 watts, theYBA300 is sure to satisfy any bassist's crav-ings for more power, punch, and expansivevolume. Each pair of power-amp tubes hasits own dedicated bias adjustment control,along with LED indicators to indicateif the bias is too high or too low. If thedreadful case occurs where one, or anentire pair goes bad during a gig, the cir-cuit is designed to knock out the offendingtubes safely, keeping the amp runningsteadily for the time it takes to finish theset and get them replaced.
She's Got Balls
As I mentioned previously, the YBA300 yearns to please those who desire deep, rich bass with an immense amount of volume and heft behind it. This amp was made to fill large venues and make sure the crowd in back at an outdoor gig can hear you loud and clear.
To help the YBA300 accomplish its mission, Traynor designed the TC810. A mammoth 8x10 cabinet made with solid, birch plywood slabs and covered in thick Nubex material, the TC810 boasts a metal grille and handles, skid rails, and built-in wheels to tilt the cab back for easy transport. Moving the 1600-watt cabinet—which can also be split into separate 800-watt, 4x10 configurations—was a real backbreaker due to the density of the birch ply construction. Birch plywood is considerably heavier than
the Straight Truth About Pickups by Jason Lollar
The "magic" found in some (but not all) classic vintage pickups was created by accident. Don't let anyone tell you different. And over time, some pretty stellar accidents happened. The only way to recreate that magic is to study more than a few exceptional examples of all the classic pickup types, while acquiring a thorough understanding of exactly what materials were used and precisely how each pickup was constructed and wound. Only then is the "magic" repeatable, if you are willing to spend the time and money required to chase the dragon. I am.
I personally design and wind over 30 different pickup models, including all the vintage classics, many obscure works of art known only to lap and pedal steel players like Robert Randolph, and even a few of my own designs that never existed in the past.
