So the one affair I don't see a lot of is healing. What has me analytical is the actuality that clandestine servers acquiesce for some appealing circuitous accommodation authoritative macros, and healing add-ons like decurse took out the allegation to do annihilation but bang a button to decurse the accomplished raid. These are, of course, traveling abroad because of how apprenticed down the UI has become (can no best ambition via LUA IF statements, can no best CastSpellByName).
In contrast, we can now use @mouseover in macros to save a bang to ambition allies and afresh hit whatever healing macro you wish to use. The awe-inspiring affair is I don't see that in anyone's guides. It's consistently "Here's your talents, here's your consumables, bethink to downrank" and that's it. Am I missing something here?
I beggarly tanks are appealing simple as far as what you're doing. Druids are appealing faceroll, and warriors acquire a lot of situational stuff, but are still focused on architecture blackmail and positioning. DPS, you're accomplishing your rotation, bustling your cooldowns, watching your threat, and accomplishing the casual awe-inspiring affair like CC or convincing the abolishment allowance or whatever. Healers though? I never see a chatter about what they're declared to be doing. Healing, obviously, but the best way to go about that doesn't accept to be intuitive.
Like you're assigned to either be catchbasin healing or arrest healing, and there's some business about acid off your big heals if they aren't necessary, down baronial to be backbone efficient, buffing who you're declared to be buffing. Is there more to it?
1, Clique is bigger than mouseover macros. This is an addon you can get by itself, or the aforementioned functionality congenital into an addon like VuhDo (which I acerb recommend, it's been my healing addon for over 10 years). Clique lets you bind your heals to abrasion buttons, so if I larboard bang or right-click on a portrait, it automatically casts the alleviate apprenticed to that abrasion button.
2, Downrank. Some spells will annual a ton from downranking, area you cede HPS abeyant for efficiency. This will administer at college levels of +spell power.
3, Do not overheal. Save your backbone as best you can.
4, Corruption the 5SR (five additional rule). Depending on your tanks' accessory and skill, I about let my best acquaintance dip to about 25% afore I alleviate him up to full, pop a HoT, and afresh regen until he's at 25% again.
5, Communicate. Acquaint your catchbasin "I'm out of mana." If he pulls afterwards you acquaint him not to, that's his fault.
6, You will not consistently acquire a mage. Stock a ton of water.
7, Wand or affray while you're regenning mana. It adds up in actuality a bit. If you're a Paladin, use Seal of Justice so you can get added stuns.
8, If you acquire to aces who lives and who dies, healer > catchbasin > DPS. If you're out of mana, catchbasin > healer > DPS. If you are a druid, afresh a accepting with an absolute rez button becomes top priority.
9, Buffing is expensive, abnormally for Priests. I use Inner Focus on Prayer of Fortitude or on Adeptness Word: Fortitude.
