I've looked at some the full group set ups people have posted and a lot of them seem to include the Warrior Priest. This of course is a good thing for us but I'm a little concerned as too the roll we would be used for.
Most people seem to feel that a Warrior Priest would be best used up front with the assist train while keeping the Main Tank as his/her defensive target.
What spec would be best for this roll?
I play a Salvation spec'd WP an to be honest I don't feel that this would be the best roll for a character of my spec.
I find myself running between the other healers (usually RP's and AM's) and the ranged/melee people. I harass anyone that breaks through the line by keeping them snared and protecting the other healers. I feel I do it quite well and and as far as the healing side goes, I'm usually in the top 3. Obviously this is in a scenario enviroment. And possibly doesn't pertain to open RvR fighting.
When defending a keep I find I can stand out of harms way and group heal, shield, HoT and buff very effectively.
The same goes for PvE.
I know. You're thinking, well if you can do all of this and are happy doing it what's your problem?
My problem is, am I getting the most out of my Warrior Priest? Nearly every link I have found states that the WP needs to dps in order to be effective. Yet I feel I've been effectively healing without doing much dps.
I'm just wondering if I should be more offensive. Trying to get in and harass their healers.
Perhaps I'll change a few things around today and put myself further into the fray and see how it goes.
But how do you play your WP and why?
