Y i dont [Y is NOT a word! You know better!; capitalization; apostrophe] gem for Haste? i [ok, now you're doing it on purpose] sit at 14% haste i [press the extra key, dammit!] like it and in [2 independent clauses must be separated by a comma before the conjunction] my spec it give [improper verb form] me 15% more hast everytime i [spelling; every time = 2 words, i = laziness] judg b/c [spelling, informal or shorthand abbreviations should be avoided in final text] of jugements of the pure [spelling; proper nouns should be capitalized]. and y i dont [/facepalm] gem for mp5 is b/c [informal abbreviation] we have Divine Plnea [?] this it [missing verb again]. I [holy cow! You did it!] sit at 27k mana i [doh!] have 2801 SP and 27% crit my flask heals crit for 10 to 12k thats [apostrophe; run-on sentence] almost the as much a my [articles almost never proceed pronouns] holy light Holy like [interesting use of repetition and assonance... Oh, no, wait… that's one run-on sentence followed by a misspelling and another run-on sentence. Nevermind.] hits for13k [missing space] no crit and i [sigh] never run out for mana i [I've run out of things to say about this] dont [and this] need mp5 and y i  dont [please, I beg you, quit killing my language] gem for int like the other pallys are yea int give [improper verb form, but at least you remembered it.] you SP but [run-on sentence] you get more SP out of +23 sp the +20 int and [run-on] the only thing Int gives pallys is just SP and Crit. thats [capitalization; apostrophe] it it dont give [Oh. My. God.] you haste are [?] mp5  but i think its [capitalization; D- mistake] just better to just gem for SP and Crit not much int or hast or mp5 thats how i heal as a pally in pve i love it and it soo much fun most of the time i out heal ppl unless they are doing a lot of overhealing I dont just spem flash heal on the tank i really only heal if needed and when i ahve to bubble i put hand of sacrife on the tank i even do that in pvp for i dont get cc but that Diff.

but thats how i heal i hope it helps  [Good thing you heal more effectively that you write, because I think my eyes are bleeding.]

Additional comments: *name redacted*, your content is solid, but you are still struggling with the basics. Run-on sentences and capitalization remain your biggest stumbling blocks, but you’re getting there. Keep practicing, and one of these days it will all fall into place. Overall, a nice improvement!
