Defense/Weapon Training For Priests [ENG]

[Lowfyr]

If you have a secondary or primary character that's a priest, chances are they see very little combat, and very rarely get hit in combat.

When I hit level 20, I was running into a bit of a problem. My defense was extraordinarily low, as was my skill in my preferred combat tool, the staff.

So, I decided to head back to the newbie areas and pull 3 level 5-8 monsters on me and let them wail away on me. Sure enough, my defense began to climb up rather quickly. I also wrote this quick macro to "auto heal" myself once my health got a bit too low. This works out perfectly, as you don't get much damage from such a low mob (at level 20 or so), and your MP regens at a faster rate than you use it..........

Also, to level your weapon skill just go grab a ton of low level mobs and begin slapping away. I've asked around the game and this is a common problem for priests especially (and to some extent, mages). Just a helpful tip, and should make leveling with your "men and women of cloth" much easier at higher levels.

To use the macro below, just go sit your priest/mage in a low level mob aggro area. It will constantly monitor your health, and once it drops below 40% it will begin to attack the nearest mob, then heal your character. Just standing in a single spot for hours will level your defense to the max and your weapon skill to the max. I've now done this for unarmed/staves/maces. Cool stuff.

This macro was made using ACTool, you can download ACTool at the following URL if you don't have it:


Here's what ya need to do:
1. Run WoW at 1024x768 in WINDOW MODE. Do not change any default settings, as this macro relies on default window settings in WoW. If you aren't running the default WoW interface, this most likely WILL NOT work.
2. You must be running the default "blue" Windows XP theme! This is crucial due to pixel color checks. Being one pixel off can ruin your macro!
3. Put your "heal" spell in hotkey slot 3.

After you've got this portion setup, open up ACTool and paste in the macro below. The healer running this macro will automatically hal themselves once they get to around 40% health. Each time you hit 40% health, he'll heal again.

Have fun!

naja, mal anders gefragt:
wieso sollte ein priest seinen weapon skill erhöhen wollen ?


bzw von mir als mages mal ausgegangen:
da sich mein str eh ned mit lvl up erhöht, gibts auch keinen grund wieso ich ne waffe nehmen sollte, die wand is da noch besser =)
und defense is fast am limit
