Hi, I've been trying very hard to improve in my holy priest atm. So far, I found that the Renew Spam > Mending > COH playstyle seems to be the most effective in Raids. However, I'm still not satisfied with my current healing capacity.
I was recently trying out Glyph of Renew and wanted some insight into this glyph.. if its bad as many guides have said... or if its actually good?
If you're gauging yourself by HPS, don't. You'll do yourself a favor.
What Glyph of Renew does is have Renew do its healing a little faster. It doesn't increase healing done per Renew cast. If anything, it's a pvp glyph.
Well its a good glyph for pvp, that I definitely agree. But the reason, I wish to utilise this glyph is simply because, I find myself never using the full 15 renews due to Mending/COH coming of CD and the occassional need for Flash Heals in 25 man Raids.. And as long as I keep up like 10+ Renews on players, wouldn't the overall healing be much higher?Quote:

I would say that depends on how much overlap you're having if you ever end up refreshing a Renew on a target that already has one. Which shouldn't be a concern in a 25-man raid. Then in a 10-man raid, you're going to be casting more Flash rather than Renew due to the nature of a 10-man raid size.
Well if theres a lot overlay, its better to have it glyphed. Oh and yea, in 10 mans, i usually pre-hot Renews and use Mending + COH on CD. It usually is enough to cover the damage. Unless I'm tank healing..Quote:

60 seconds Glyphed:
0-12s - 1st Renew
12-24s - 2nd Renew
24-36s - 3rd Renew
36-48s - 4th Renew
48-60s - 5th Renew
60 Seconds Unglyphed:
0-15s - 1st Renew
15-30s - 2nd Renew
30-45s - 3rd Renew
45-60s - 4th Renew
If we assume the number of targets I'm going to Renew is the same. That is 10 players as Mending has a 10 second CD. And always keep these 10 players refreshed.. Wouldn't it be better for Total Healing as well Heals Per Second when Glyphed?

That's the thing though. There won't be.Quote:

The only way this would have an impact on anything is if you're keeping a renew active on the tanks. A Renew on the tanks isn't likely to do much for them.Quote:

Hey Mercy, I created a new spec keeping what you said in mind.Quote:
