WoW Moviewatch: (Holy) Priest
The video itself is pretty standard Nyhm work, thematically. It has some creative music video shots of himself and Summergale as they sing. (Well, shots of their avatar personas.) The tricks Nyhm uses to create a variety of dance moves and poses are always impressive, and his work really brings the Blood Elf and Troll models to life.
While this genre of music isn't my cup of tea, Nyhm uses creative cadence and lyrics to morph the lines of B.I.G.'s song into a great song about the struggles of healing in WoW. There's praise, jokes, complaints, and a little bit of everything else thrown into the song. Check it out, and enjoy!

This is his first "class" vid that's not about a pure DPS class (he's done Mage, Rogue, and Warlock), and it was actually good.
I guess he did kind of run out of options though, I mean what's cool about huntards?
I send my pet in, then I laugh as I win, Try to jump and spin, when I'm kitin..
my autoshot could kill you, no I don't outskill you, I'm a huntard baby, and it takes no skill to play me..

I played a priest for 1 year solid. The guild I was in had MC and ONY on farm. Being a priest Pre-BC was good. You had your pick of whatever group you wanted to be in. Soon as I logged in I got 10 tells asking me to heal and they were ready to summon.
After BC EVRYONE could heal as good as a priest. In fact they could heal better. The group buffs, mana regen, and vamp embrace made playing a holy priest, dare I say, unpopular.

His singing has really improved.

Holy priests and warlocks have lost all luster for me. They are the least fun classes to play. Like he says in the song. My eyes don't blink all I see are bars. I spend most of the raid not knowing what the **** is going on. In the end I went shadow and leveled and then went holy and now... I use my priest to grind SFK.. That is about all they are good for these days. They are not fun to quest with they are not fun to PVP with they are only good for raiding and farming lowbie instances.
People wonder why no one wants to heal until 80? Holy -bites- for leveling and when you do heal the people who think they can tank are not tanks.
If you are a blood death knight in PVP gear YOU ARE NOT A TANK.
If you are a Boomkin feral gear YOU ARE NOT A TANK.
If you are a Fury/arms warrior YOU ARE NOT A TANK.
If you are in a five man and your priest is OOM at the end of the fight because they have to throw a constant bombardment of heals on the main tank unable to heal anyone else because the MT is taking so much damage tell that person THEY ARE NOT A TANK.
People blame the priests when groups fail and people die but if we have to spend all of our time and mana keeping up the MT who is wearing dps armor and had the wrong talents what do people expect?
In conclusion: When people learn to tank I'll start healing again. Until then, I'm leveling a prot pally my self.

I remember once someone LFG for stocks in SW. Someone asked if they had a tank and the reply back is "yeah, and a healer - just looking for a few to join."
Okay, why not?
Um...yeah. The "tank" was also the one who was putting together the run. So why did I put "tank" in quotations? Because a 'lock with a voidwalker that he sends in first is most DEFINITELY NOT a "tank".
At least the healer was a priest - and he was the first one to leave, saying "you can't tank with a pet. Bye."
Yeng Jan 15th 2009 2:51PM
My VW can tank stocks :D
....but at level, no not a tank.

Before 50, Moonkin in feral gear can tank fine.
Before 65 Arms/Fury can tank fine.
Before 75 Shadowpriest can heal fine.
I know because ive done all 3 without problems. Before 70 (and even 80) most things come down to gear, not talents.
Though its true tat voidwalker sucks.
Keyra Jan 15th 2009 9:47PM
Yeah, it was at level, so a VW being the "tank"...um...yeah. Let's not go there.
After four of the group died and I, the only hunter in the group, was down to nearly zero with my pet quite dead...that's when the priest up and quit, healing me on the way out, and gave his comment that you don't tank with a pet. The rest of us were right behind him except for the 'lock. He didn't come back out - I suspect he died in there and did a GY rez.
Ah, memories. Bleargh!
I still have that hunter - haven't played her in awhile. I might have to get back on with her and see what I can do. She's been stuck at 43 for ages!

It was an excellent video in my opinion. it's also a nice little nod to Notorious B.I.G. I'll definitely give Nyhm props this time.
Frisky Jan 15th 2009 3:59PM
OMG love the video- Much appreciated as a holy priest for of 3yrs- yea it bites sometimes, but hey we can't all be DK's and Hunters....
tabardsrock Jan 15th 2009 2:17PM
the vid was pretty cool, but the "Ghouls Gone Wild" made me spit out my coffee and solicit a questioning glance from a someone passing by my office :)
lol, very funny
Licister Jan 15th 2009 2:49PM
Does she say in the end "You want me to get on your bus?"
jesse Jan 15th 2009 3:01PM
good stuff, nyhm is hilarious. gotta give him credit for the writing, i love the mage one, pug kz, and to fly for a dranei.
the only prob i have with this one is he didnt put the lyrics on the bottom like he usually does, some words are kinda hard to make out.
great stuff though :D
Nirriti Jan 20th 2009 7:32AM
I agree, it needs lyrics. I love his vids and recommed them to anyone who will stand still long enough.
sosei Jan 15th 2009 6:59PM
Oh man. I've never played a priest high enough to bother with actually healing, but I still enjoyed that video. :D It's an awesome parody.
Good stuff!
