Level 71 to 80

Level 71 to 80

This is a smaller set of levels than the last for my guide, because I wanted to seperate out a few particular spells. Some will fall into the higher tier and receive constant upgrades, so I cut off the range to make it a pretty distinct phase in the leveling field. You will start to move away from casting heals often in this range, and best case you won't have to cast any, the passive heals will handle them.

 

Vow of Valor

This is a large addition to the solo cleric, as it is pretty much the baseline for soloing. It is a pretty standard proc buff, with a few additions. The first, and very important to note is it reduces your healing power by up to half. This is to prevent you from getting the bonus all the time, and having to actually decide when you want to get the benefits. The proc is a fairly nice direct damage blast, with an exra recourse of dropping a heal over time on you. With the right gear, target selection, and AA, this heal can keep you full and nearly unkillable. This may require being in zones a little lower than your normal level range at first.

 

Promised Heals

This is an alternative to the old school complete healing mechanics. Casting on a target gives a short 18 or so second buff, that triggers a large heal when it fades. The trade off for the longer trigger time, is that it only takes 0.5 cast time, and lets you do other things while it ticks down. Always cast on yourself after it fades and it will keep you up pretty well. This crits based on the person who it is cast on, so you get all the benefits of your AA, while a warrior would need specific aa and still ahve a much lower chance for it to crit.
