Mobs and Minions, this week Ana is moving so the Firelord takes a break for a community episode, inviting Darrie of OpenRaid and Nobbel "Not a Big Deal" the Noble to join Bay and step-in co-host, Brutall.
Darrie is "OpenRaid Mom" as the Operations Director for the cross-realm raiding communities. She helps maintain and moderate the community as well as organize big events like the current Learn to Raid with OpenRaid initiative. Players started the general event back in April with bronze Challenge Modes that progressed through silver and gold, and are progressing through the Mists of Pandaria raids in order without needing high item level requirements. The OpenRaid community is currently in the middle of Tier 14, moving from Normals to Heroics. Darrie agrees with Bay on the survival of OpenRaid with the new LFG in-game feature coming in Warlords: the community you get from OpenRaid can't come from the game UI component.
As part of the community grab-bag episode, Nobbel is here to answer lore questions submitted by Mobs and Minions. Brutall helps start the conversation using his well-th of Wowpedia knowledge -- but to his eternal WoE, Nobbel knows more about Queen Azshara, the Burning Legion, and the Sunwell. We'll steal into insight about the Final Boss of Draenor, whether Thrall or the Alliance should have been on trial, too, whether Theramore can be fixed sanely, and...what Azerothian race makes the best taco.
OpenRaid is opening up to more games than WoW; this mortal spies some League of Legends events going on, but we might see some WildStar soon. Nobbel will continue making the best animated & narrated "comics" about lore along with his playthroughs of WoW leveling and Zelda games. Brutall just hit 2000 subscriptions on his Youtube channel, and would like to celebrate with an upcoming taco-devouring party on Twitch.tv/BrutallStatic. He asks that the community share their terrible taco selfies on Twitter @BrutallStatic with hashtag #2000Tacos.

Halo, Mobs and Minions, we have some Divine Stars in this episode of Final Boss where we revisit the healing priests. Unfortunately, priests this tier aren't likely holding too many PoM PoMs, but don't worry, they've still got plenty of Spirit Shells to go around.
Draco, GM of EU's <Echoes> joins a reappearance of Derevka of US's <Something Wicked> to talk about discipline is king for PvE priests with its absurd absorbs in an overhealing world. Discipline was in line with other healing specs until about mid-tier in Throne of Thunder, when the gear caught up to the mechanics and became completely dominant in Siege of Orgrimmar. Our two guests feel that holy priests will likely bounce back in Warlords of Draenor, however, both due to the new healing model by Blizzard and holy's mastery of free healing.
Atonement is a discipline priest's smart healing, and it adds to the too-much of smart healing going on across the healing board. However, Atonement is too core a mechanic to let go, so we'll have to see how Blizzard works other discipline spells into the toolkit. The Jina-Kang healing legendary cloak is useful, but Draco shows that discipline currently offers a unique half-DPS hybrid through Smite DPSing with the Xing-Ho DPS cloak. We'll talk most and least favorite encounters in Mists of Pandaria before moving on to the gear and talent selections.
Priests feel a symbiosis with crit and mastery, and we talk about the ridiculously efficient Smite. The level 75 talent is locked in for healing priests, but in the level 45 tier, the skill of Atonement healing can affect the choice. Level 90 is known for lots of visually-noisy spells, but they're all active abilities, which is a nice change from those of us with mostly passive level 90 talents.
