The live commentary is enjoyable. A lot of similar videos seem to commentate over clips, but its nice to get your thought process while going through it
As a 2.9k disc main it is probably the most polarizing healer of all of them, so I'm not surprised you've had mixed results with them in your keys. It lives and dies on knowing damage patterns much more closely than any other healer (in both my opinion and experience) as it has exceedingly minimal ways to quickly spike a singular health bar during an AOE healing intensive segment that doesn't also instantly sacrifice their AOE output. Pair that with needing to rely heavily on key use of our important group-wide externals to get through our short but frequent downtimes and it is a healer that 10000% can feel abysmal to have when they aren't fully sure what they're doing. That being said I think we are in the strongest spot we have been in since WOTLK (Yes, I think we're stronger than we were in MOP) and I would really like to see that be the healer you chose when you pick a healer for this challenge!
Since WotLK? That's kinda crazy, I felt like Disc was insanely strong, even stronger than this, in Dragonflight S3, but I didn't play so I can't confirm. You can just vote for whatever you want me to play as any of the other roles, links are in the description, you can even vote once a day to really bump up the chances by the time that role series starts!
@@Definitely_Not_Vlad The version we have right now is basically the same as DF S3, but better because of voidweaver. Having rift to cover a large portion of our downtime is such a fantastic QoL. Plus with the talent changes our ability to much more consistently hit large 30 second ramps in a raid environment is greatly improved. none of this, or what i said previously, is to say that any other iteration of disc has been bad. Just that WOTLK disc and this current iteration of disc are, in my experience playing both, the strongest they've ever been on average
Nice! Great progress To be honest on the first boss of SV as a prot paladin you don't even need the dispel to survive. I mean it's nice if they do, but if they don't you can survive just fine by rotating defensives, just don't forget your "Ardent Defender" has a cheat death component. Not that it's relevant for us pugs but I've seen Yoda when playing on very high keys actually asks his healer to dispel immidiately because dot hurts too much on these keys
That's great info about the DoT vs. the shield, I'll see how it feels as I go up the key levels in Tyrannical or at 10 or higher where it's both, thanks!
I like this video. One comment though. As a disc priest, if xalatath pops during a pull, it's super easy to blast through it because everyone should always have atonement and it just takes the usual overhealing youre pumping anyway.
Oh so smarthealing from atonement _does_ take care of the heal absorb even when people are full HP? I misunderstood some friends and what they were saying then I guess, because I thought that once people are at full HP "smart" healing isn't smart enough to keep healing the absorb away, but looks like I misunderstood!
@Definitely_Not_Vlad atonement now just straight up converts dmg to healing. Doesnt require smart healing anymore. Like i usually have over a billion overhealing by end of a dungeon. Now just (if atonement, get healing) so if you have atonement on someone and they get xalatath while your blasting, it almost immediately gets healed off
Ooooh, ok, then it's just an issue of not having atonement on people, which feels like a "I'm new to Discipline" kind of issue, gotcha, thanks for clearing that up
@@Definitely_Not_Vlad def having a blast playing Mountain! lots of CDs to cicle. Feels like a true tanker and its super easy to play. Not going back to blood any time soon haha
Great commentary as always! I do get a bit surprised at how many people shorten Word of Glory to the word they do. Might be a bit of an older word, but its a racial slur here in Blighty !
I will try and update all the WeakAuras later today, will shoot you a comment if I remember, if not, check in tomorrow on the Discord and most WAs should have updates available, or at least the Paladin ones!
Donezo, every class WA is up on the Discord, as well as general other WAs that I'm currently using Also took the time to update all my addon profiles and make sure everything is up to snuff. Hope you enjoy!

I play disc from time to time, dealing with this affix I either use mass dispel or I do radience+mind blast and that should be enough to heal through it
I wonder if it's a question of newer players having poor UI's for detecting whether there's a heal absorb or not, because sometimes I feel like it's completely ignored by healers and especially by other party members, but I guess it's mostly in lower keys where people are learning
@@Definitely_Not_Vlad think it's also down to disc being a hard spec to handle just because it doesn't work as other healers. Newer players probobly just see that disc is meta and just plays it without looking up how to play it
You can right click the "Damage Done" text or whatever your window is set to and just select Interrupts from the Miscellaneous section. I do have my Details profile available as well on the Discord server if you want to take a peek at that (:
My GOAT M+ content creator is back
And hopefully here to stay! Gonna try my darndest to make UA-cam work for me (:
Can't decide between him or Kussislayer 🤔
Both Goats
Finally, the most enjoyable m+ youtuber is back in their A-game. I salute you!
Would also love to join on one of your runs if you still play on eu ☺️
Your Mythic plus series is literally the only one I enjoy.
That's high praise, I'm glad you enjoy these, will keep them coming (:
The live commentary is enjoyable. A lot of similar videos seem to commentate over clips, but its nice to get your thought process while going through it
i waited so long for this. i even rewatched some DF zero2hero videos and now you are back. so nice
Sorry for the long wait, got a really good reason to keep content coming though!
Ah yes, the classic Vlad Paladin experience.
Does the tanking, does the healing, does the affix lol

Disc was broken in WoD especially in HFC.

Yeah I bet you're real surprised :P
Great commentary as always! I do get a bit surprised at how many people shorten Word of Glory to the word they do. Might be a bit of an older word, but its a racial slur here in Blighty !
You keep your slurs in Blighty, I'm just healing myself and others!
Hurray! Vlad is back ... again :D

Vlad is back! Back again! Woot woot!
What are the chances of getting the dope new weak auras? I really miss having your ui setup.
I will try and update all the WeakAuras later today, will shoot you a comment if I remember, if not, check in tomorrow on the Discord and most WAs should have updates available, or at least the Paladin ones!
Thank you so much Vlad!
Donezo, every class WA is up on the Discord, as well as general other WAs that I'm currently using
Also took the time to update all my addon profiles and make sure everything is up to snuff. Hope you enjoy!
Oh wow. You’re the best!!
mr vlad can you share your graphic settings it looks so clean

Thank you!
🙌
FINALLY!
So sorry for the long wait :D
Been missing some Not Vlad.
Very sorry about the absence, the plan is to stick to it now. Gonna try and make UA-cam work as a job (:
Wow, i got 2 characters to 80 and didn't know any of those things outside the weeklies.
Glad I could help!
What is your healer mana % WA?
You can find all of my WA's on the DNV Community Discord, linked in the description. (:
@@Definitely_Not_Vlad thanks Vlad! Is there info on how you did the Interrupts overall Details screen?
You can right click the "Damage Done" text or whatever your window is set to and just select Interrupts from the Miscellaneous section. I do have my Details profile available as well on the Discord server if you want to take a peek at that (:
share those weakaura!
They're already shared, just gotta check the DNV Community Discord, it's linked in the description (:
