About Divine Aegis

Divine Aegis is a World of Warcraft healing blog geared towards tank healers. It was started and run by Lilitharien, a Discipline Priest, and Lyriel, a Holy Paladin. Now the team also consists of a Restoration Druid, Oestrus.

We chose the name “Divine Aegis” because of the following reasons:
• It’s the name of a talent in the Discipline Tree.
• It’s the name of a shield procced by delicious crits which we adore.
• Many of the Paladin talents and spells begin with “Divine” and all healing classes receive their gift from something divine—be it the Light, nature/elements, Cenarius or otherwise.
• “Aegis” is a fun word to say and it means “protection,” which, you know, is what healers do—we protect.
• It sounds classy.

About Lilitharien

Lilitharien has been weakening the souls of her tanks since January 2007, when she started playing with her then-boyfriend. (Who, conveniently, rolled a Warrior tank.) She leveled 1-70 with one of those bastard leveling specs that you just sort of put points all over the place because you have no idea what you’re doing. Then, when she hit 70, she respecced to the “Improved Divine Spirit” build, joined a raiding guild, and continued to cast Power Word: Shield as her method-of-choice for saving the day/raid. She’s never been deep-Holy specced, and probably never will be.

Today Lilith is raiding T9/T10 content with her guild on her original server of Thorium Brotherhood, in both 10- and 25-man settings on a weekly basis. When she’s not raiding, RPing, or putzing around Dalaran, you can find her fixing typos and writing articles for No Stock UI and moderating the Priest, UI/Addons, and Macros sections of the PlusHeal forums. She also has been enjoying leveling a bevy of alts on the Scarlet Crusade server and hanging out with her friends in the guild Axiom, where she was a raiding member for 6 months.

Most recently Lilith’s UI was featured in World of Warcraft Official Magazine. Check out page 101 if you have your own copy! Although she’s listed as a Holy Priest, Lilith assures you that she’s never been far enough down in the Holy tree to pick up Circle of Healing… Ever. Seriously!

Outside of Azeroth Lilith is a graphic/web designer living in crazy New York City. You can often hear the sounds of sirens and honking horns outside her window over Vent.

About Lyriel

In-game, Lyriel began life as Valyria, a humble human paladin who never made it much beyond Stranglethorn Vale. When the Burning Crusade expansion was released, Valyria the human was summarily deleted and replaced by Valyria the blood elf, who made it well beyond STV. Val raided everything from Attumen to Illidan as holy, and in Wrath continued on into Ulduar, eventually downing Yogg-Saron and working on hardmodes. Alas, in July that guild fell apart, and so she transferred with co-healer Lilitharien to the Scarlet Crusade sever, where she became Lyriel (Valyria was taken) and now raids with Axiom.

Out of game, Lyriel lives in Florida with his boyfriend and their pet rat.

About Oestrus

Oestrus began her healing career as an Alliance holy priest, who explored all of the 40 man content from Molten Core through Ahn’Qiraj. Eventually growing tired of the politics of the Alliance, she defected to the Horde and leveled a druid.

Looking for new challenges, she went restoration spec and has been healing ever since. She has always been a standout member of top tier raiding guilds and has a rusted proto drake, an Amani bear mount and several PVE related titles under her belt.

Currently, she resides in the guild Redemption on Hydraxis (PVE) and enjoys playing her elemental shaman in her spare time and enjoying Chinese takeout and shamelessly perusing celebrity gossip websites.
