 Oh, hello. I didn't see you there. Today we're going to be doing a macro video. You know what? It's not even a fucking macro video. What am I... Oh, hello. Today we're going to be doing a... What even is this fucking video about? Oh, hello. I didn't notice you there. Today we're going to be doing a downranking video. And I'm going to go through the reasons and list the spells that I'd like to downrank and try not to be as scuffed as I usually am and be actually politically... So I'm going to basically go through the stuff that you want to downrank. Why you want to downrank it, when you want to use it. Why it's good. All that stuff. Because everyone's like, are you downranking spells? And I'm like, yeah. I can't see your downrank spells. Yeah, because they're macros. Do it. Okay, so I'm just going to make one real quick now. Wait, so let's do no mod. And mod is shift. So why do we need this, you ask? We've got fear, which is on T. And then we've got rank one fear on shift T. I actually haven't learned rank four fear because I'm a cheap bastard. But currently we're working with rank three fear. Rank four fear is like five enemies or something. Anyway, so the reason you want rank one fear is what if you only want to fear one guy? Well, then you can use rank one fear and save a nice bit of mana. Awesome. So that's the reason for fear. There's a bunch of other ones that you want to use. So we've got renew. You can rank one renew, max rank renew, obviously for purge fodder. Max rank pain, rank one pain. Same sort of reasoning. If they're spam dispelling it, you can put up rank one pain to bait them out into a dispell. If you have blackout, you can spam rank one pain to proc blackout for free mana, essentially. If you're pulling a load of mobs, you can pull more of rank one pain if you don't care about the damage. Just save you a load of mana. And you can do it on the move as opposed to wanting we have to stop. In terms of heals, you want to have a few different ranks. You want to have a low and a high rank of flash. Potentially you can add more in. I like just having rank four flash and rank seven flash. Just because I usually have my down rank as about half of the healing of my max rank. I feel like that leaves me quite versatile. I know that there are calculators that you can put your plus healing into and they will give you the most efficient ranks and stuff like that. As the efficiency of the ranks changes as you get more bonus healing. Be sure not to down rank below skills that are trained below level 20 because they gain less of a coefficient from your plus healing. Always down rank to the spells that are above level 20 trained. That's a big one. That's why we only rank down rank to rank two heal. Rank one heal is going to be a lot less efficient. Rank two heal is probably the cheapest heal we've got. The interesting thing is it gains the same coefficient of our bonus healing as the max rank would because they're the same cast time. The coefficient is, I think it's the cast sum of the spell over 3.5 times 100. That's the percentage of your bonus healing that you get, I think. You probably should know this before making a video, but fuck it. We'll do it live, we'll do it live. We've also got greater heal, greater heal rank one, greater heal rank four. Greater heal rank one, about half of the healing of greater heal rank four. Obviously it's slightly less efficient than greater heal rank four. But again, as they scale up, the scaling is going to be a bigger percentage of the lower rank as a heal. So it's going to become more efficient. Flash heal, we've got the lower rank, generally not that needed. Potentially it's worth putting a flash heal rank one on there. The lower rank is more for an emergency where you don't have mana, or you can also use it in a raid situation where you're doing some raid healing. You don't want your heal to get sniped or anything like that. And it's an emergency. Generally I'm using heal rank two a little bit more in those situations if I'm confident that my heal isn't going to over heal. It's a lot more efficient. But yeah, that's the down ranking that I use on those spells. Other options for down ranking, let me think, what else can we use? Holy Nova, use rank one Holy Nova. And that's good for getting rogues out of stuff. If a rogue vanishes near you or you think there's a rogue near you, you can spam rank one Holy Nova, which is super cheap. Well not super cheap, but a lot cheaper than a max rank, 166. So recommend that one. I think that's most of them. You control another priest, I guess, with mine control, and then rank one shield them for weak and soul. I mean, that's pretty niche. I think that's most of the cases there. No need to do a lower rank of res, they all cost the same mana. Shackle, I guess is a good one. I actually haven't even trained the higher ranks of Shackle. You can do a rank one Shackle, and the only thing higher ranks of Shackle bring is the longest Shackle duration, but 30 seconds is already really long. So I haven't even bothered training the higher ranks. I've been saving my gold, but I recommend you rank downranking your Shackle for sure. Mana burn, probably not worth it. Dispel, same mana as rank two, not worth it. Fade, you just always want max rank, there's no reason to use it, I guess. Maybe you could use it for debuff fodder, I guess. You could use a rank one Fade to get a buff that's relatively cheap. If you're getting spam purged and you've got free globals, I say that's not a bad shout. If you're really into that min max, give it a go. Mindsooth, I mean it works on 17s and below, 55s and below. It's a very small mana saving, I don't think it's worth downranking Mindsooth. Same with Mindvisions, you want the higher rank of Mindvisions as its unlimited range and doesn't care about loss, whereas the lower rank does. So yeah, I think that's everything. Not too much else to talk about, really. I will say if you do want to learn more about talents or any sort of gearing, I'll get my man guide to put up some clips on the screen now. You can easily get that.
