How to Buff a 5-man Heroic (Paladins and Priests)

Buffing as a Paladin

Two or more Paladins in Group

• Be the first to say "I'll Kings everyone, you do might or wisdom"
• If you're the tank, Sanct yourself and berate the might/wisdom guy for not giving you Kings
• If you're DPS, hope nobody mentions that you should be doing might instead of Kings because of Improved Blessing of Might

One Paladin in Group

• Kings all caster dps
• Kings the tank (or if it's you, Sanct)
• Might melee dps and hunter
• Unless there's a dps warrior in the group, in which case go kings
• Explain to the guy complaining he doesn't have might that there's a warrior in the group and might doesn't stack with Battle Shout
• Notice the warrior has already popped Commanding Shout, sigh and go back to might
• Look at shaman/druid dps' mana to guess whether they're melee or caster. If in doubt, kings.
• Check the healer's gearscore. If it's under 4000, give them wisdom. If it's over give them kings because they're not going to have mana problems in a 5-man anyway.
• Ignore the possible presence of a Mana Spring totem because you don't know what shamans might drop from one minute to the next. It's too late to ask anyway, as the tank has started pulling.
• Realise the healer was a druid too and you've just given Wisdom to the feral dps. Kings the druids mid-pull.
• Get sidetracked during the first trash group explaining to hunter that might is mathematically better for their dps than kings. No, really.
• Give up and kings hunter anyway

One Paladin in Group (Alternative method)

• Kings everyone except self
• Might/Wis/Sanct/Kings self as appropriate
• Ignore anyone who complains
• No really. Even that Death Knight who won't shut up about it all the way up to the first boss
• Put Blessing of Wisdom on the DK
• Stop healing him
• Get votekicked
