Comments on: Osprey at 80: Deep Holy Template http://kestrelsaerie.com/2008/11/osprey-80-deep-holy-template/ An Eclectic Collection of Musings on Life, Living, and Blogging Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:59:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Kestrel http://kestrelsaerie.com/2008/11/osprey-80-deep-holy-template/comment-page-1/#comment-2127 Kestrel Fri, 07 Nov 2008 07:45:47 +0000 http://kestrelsaerie.us/?p=929#comment-2127 There is a LOT of good stuff in the Disc tree, no question. And Mental Agility is very attractive: It's not so deep that it can't be combined with Guardian Spirit. On the other hand, mana management has never been an issue for me, and I think for the most part, it'll be as easy, or even easier, to maintain good mana and regen with the expansion. You are definitely making me take a second look at it and Holy Spec, but the rationale for dropping Holy Spec is the same as for not taking Desperate Prayer: How much utility is there, really? If I have a Lightwell up,and I'm casting CoH frequently, if I get to the point where I need Desperate Prayer, I should already have a renew and some CoH goodness going for me. I'd rather put points where I can heal the rest of the group as well as myself. (I know: If I'm dead, how good am I to the rest of the group? We may have to agree to disagree on this one.) :) There is a LOT of good stuff in the Disc tree, no question.

The only real difference I have is I can't seem to tear myself away from Mental Agility in the disc tree, but that pulls 6 points out of holy. I would also pull points out of holy specialization and get desperate prayer, and healing focus. I think your reasoning is pretty much spot on – I was thinking of a very similar build.
