  1. TN Business Magazine: Digital Divide:

    Such talk prompts the question: If Digital Reasoning is shaping up to be the next big thing, or at least possibly a part of it, why hasn't there been more interest from VC types? At least three local finance gurus told BusinessTN that nobody would fund Digital Reasoning because its management structure is flawed. A big red flag, said one of them, is the fact that Estes' mother is calling all the shots for the company. (Granted, in the wake of Estes' Technology Council speech, it's unlikely Midstate investors feel warmly disposed toward him.) For his part, Estes dismisses such criticisms, citing a lack of effort by the VC community to understand his company. "In three and a half years, we haven't had a cursory due diligence done on us," he says.

    Lol.

My priest's macros

I recently set up a whole bunch of macros for my priest. Figured I'd put them here for my own future reference, and in case anyone else wants to copy them.

In general, since priests can cast heal spells and damage spells, but you can't damage friends or heal enemies, you get a modal interface. Many of my macros enable the same button to be used for one action if targeting a friendly, and another action if targeting a hostile. Another goal was to enable mouseover on everything.

"Abolish"

/cast [mod:SELFCAST, target=player] [target=mouseover, exists] [] Abolish Disease

"Dispel" (hold shift for mass dispel)

/cast [mod:shift] Mass Dispel; [mod:SELFCAST, target=player] [target=mouseover, exists] [] Dispel Magic

"BUFF" (one button buff!)

/cast [nomod] Power Word: Fortitude; [mod:alt,mod:shift,mod:ctrl] Prayer of Shadow Protection; [mod:alt,mod:shift] Shadow Protection; [mod:alt] Inner Fire; [mod:shift,mod:ctrl] Prayer of Spirit; [mod:shift] Divine Spirit; [mod:ctrl] Prayer of Fortitude

Note I had to use [mod:alt] there instead of [mod:SELFCAST] because the macro inched over 255 characters.

"Flash/SWP"

/cast [target=mouseover,help,mod:shift][help,mod:shift]Binding Heal;[mod:alt,target=player][target=mouseover,help][help]Flash Heal;[target=mouseover,harm,mod:shift][harm, mod:shift]Vampiric Touch;[target=mouseover,harm][harm]Shadow Word: Pain;Flash Heal

Flash heal on friend, shadow word pain on an enemy. Hold shift for binding heal on a friend, hold shift for vampiric touch (if you have it) on an enemy.

"Greater heal"

/cast [mod:SELFCAST,target=player] [target=mouseover,help] [help] [] Greater Heal

Greater heal that works with mouseover.

"Holy nova"

/cast [nocombat] Holy Nova(Rank 1); Holy Nova

Casts rank 1 holy nova if you're not in combat. Super helpful for unstealthing rogues/druids without blowing lots of mana on max rank holy nova.

"Mind flay"

/cast [nochanneling:Mind Flay] Mind Flay

Keeps you from clipping your mind flay.

"PoH/MB/Rez"

/cast [harm] Mana Burn; [help, dead] [mod:shift] Resurrection; [help,nodead] [] Prayer of Healing;

On an enemy target, mana burns. If you target a friendly, casts prayer of healing. If your target is friendly and dead, or if you hold shift (for the times when people release), casts resurrection.

"PoM"

/cast [mod:ctrl]Mind Vision;[mod:SELFCAST,target=player][target=mouseover,help][help]Prayer of Mending;[target=mouseover,harm,mod:shift][harm,mod:shift]Mind Soothe;[target=mouseover,harm][harm]Mind Control;Prayer of Mending

Enemy: mind control, friend: prayer of mending. If you hold shift, does mind soothe. Works with mouseover, selfcast, etc.

"PWS/Shoot"

/cast [harm, nomod] Shoot; [mod:SELFCAST, target=player] [target=mouseover, help] [] Power Word: Shield

Power word: shield on a friend, wand shoot at an enemy.

"Renew/SWD"

/cast [mod:SELFCAST, target=player] [target=mouseover, help] [help] Renew; [target=mouseover, harm] [harm] Shadow Word: Death; Renew

Friendly: renew, enemy: shadow word: death.

"Shackle"

/clearfocus [mod:alt] [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/cast [target=focus] Shackle Undead

Typical shackle focus macro.

"Smite/HF"

/cast [mod:SELFCAST, target=player] [target=mouseover,help] [help] Greater Heal(Rank 2); [mod:shift] Holy Fire; Smite

Since holy fire is used rarely, I just stuck it on my smite button. Just hold shift. Also, since that button wasn't doing anything for friendly targets, I put a low rank of greater heal on there too.

  1. WoW Forums -> Raiding Holy Priest Trinkets:

    IMO There are basically 4 really good trinkets

    Earring
    Memento
    Blue Dragon
    Redeemers Alchy stone

    Pick 2

    Gruul's and Bangle are on a second tier IMO.

    Essence of the Martyr is even lower. I'd rather use Vial of the Sunwell as an emergency heal (macro it to PW:S) than to have an on-use of +heal.
