Wickedminx is now 16 – and is the only Wickedminx on the Armory.. SHHHHHHH don’t tell anyone else or I will find next week there will be 100! She is a unique snowflake.
I never was much for twinking. Whats the point of twinking a level 19 – or even Bging at that level? you earn the least honor, and have not alot to spend it on,
But as I was doing errands for my questing in stormwind.. I thought why not have a go at healing in a bg for practice. ( I am serious about this learning to heal properly on a priest – too used to melting faces. ) Even though I was below the desired level for that bracket, I figured as a healer I would be welcome, and I was slightly twinked out.. +58 healing FTW!
So I did some WSG’s and was instantly hooked! – I was outhealing 19’s! and getting top alliance healer in all bg’s.
It certainly was a change in mentality, as a healer in a BG I had to stop myself from being out the gate first, or chasing the enemies flag carrier as I do as dps. I often found myself wandering aimlessly looking for someone to heal.
“Follow the little blue dots…. follow the little blue dots… Follow follow, heal and follow.. follow the little blue dots”
It was also frustrating standing there healing and waiting for the people I was healing to move on, out of the middle, and try and accomplish something like picking up the flag.
When I did manage to attach myself to our flag carrier and there was no horde offence yet, instead of finding a good defensive spot they would run back back half way down the field to get into the action, only to die when they tried to run back up the tunnel a 2nd time with the flag on their back.
I can’t heal though stupidity…
I miss my mount. I hate having to run everywhere, and It was annoying seeing level 11’s in there with less then 300 health. and given that WSG is the only 10-19 bracket BG around I think I would go insane just doing WSG forever on that toon.
But despite all that , I liked it! Loved it. I want to be the best healer in the 19 BG bracket ever.. Um not really.. but I would certainly like to be decent.
I am going to get her to 19 and keep her there, give her some more appropriate clothing for her level, spend a silly fortune on enchants and best gear available.
…..and level up another baby priest who will inherit Wickedminx’s clothes as wickedminx is still wearing her Tuxedo Pants and her Lovely Black dress.
We are few, but we are out there! I highly recommend it as it truly is a lot of fun. I specifically made a level 19 twink priest to be just as you said, the best healer possible in level 19 WSG. She’s a human holy priest with +healing at 213 an amazing amount of health and large mana pool. In WSG she’s extremely effective as a flag runner, and naturally as an amazing healer. A formidable force in WSG and the bane of the opposing side. However she is also the biggest target, sometimes even more so than the flag runner because of her twinkiness. I could keep my own against all except the most twinked out rogues and hunters. So I hope you do max out your twink priest, we sure could use another in there. There’s been many times where I have been able to turn a battle just because I could keep a few alive just that much longer.
Penitence on the Smolderthorn server is my twink priestess. It is fun to hang back and heal, as I also have a shadow priest (they won’t let me go to healing, they like their mana regenerator!)
It may sound boring, running only one battleground for the rest of your twink’s life, but I only pull them out when I have no time to run raids or am not leveling with the hubby. They are great stress relief! Endgame without the huge maintenance fees 🙂

Congratulations young padawan, you have learned the first Secret of Healing!
*hem*…
I love being a power healer. Nothing is better then keeping your tank hacking through ranks of alliance while you are hiding in a bush. As long as I have line of sight you can keep almost anything standing.
the stupidity problem is real though. These guys need to understand that when you get the flag…go for the point, cause I can’t chase them all over the field.
LOL
“while you are hiding in a bush” – If only they had Gnome healers.. Imagine trying to find one of them on the battlefield..

Perhaps there is a means you can remove me from that service?
Kudos!
