PS. Im skipyy Translator What addons/programs do u need to be able to function properly in the guild? Are there eny endgame instances you are not attuned to? Grid , KTM threat meter.
c) If you are a healer. Please explain which skills/spells you use to maximise your healing on the main tank as well as the other raid members while at the same time managing your mana pool.
I would give to main tank healing wave rank 1 before to active the bonus healing and then give some healing waves and spam some lesser healing waves(because burns lots of mana) and to raiders when the 3rd part comes the raider attacked by axes i would give lessers. PS: dont think any raider would lose hp on flames.. Regards
the most eficient healing spells for shaman is healing wave.
when skippy doesnt understand wat u are telling him i translate and when he doesnt know how to right something i tell him.
yes i do! overhealing is a waste of mana :S thats why i said that lessers heals arent good to shamans because it spends lots of mana thats why healing wave is the most effecient.
ps. overhealing = Grid addon = greenpoint = incoming heals
the most effecient heal is chain heal rank 4, then comes healing wave rank 8 then chain heal rank 5 etc. Chain heal is only healing 1 target in this calculation. An average raiding shaman use chain heal 80% of the time.
You write that you would use lessers when attacked by axes, this is ofcourse your own choise, but I do not believe this is the most effective way. We are not paladins, and you should never use lesser heals ever, unless it is an extreme emergenzy, and axes on prince isnt, it is about timing.
You counter overhealing with lower ranked heals and interruption of own heals.
Your gear does need some upgrades. We could use one more resto shaman so that is a bonus. Can you try to get your gear enchanted etc and go up to a +healing of around +1500 it will greatly benefit your chances to get a trial spot.
Regarding how you heal and what ranks you use I am no expert on resto shamans so I would like our other resto shammys comments on that. But although you have stuff to learn I want to be sure about that you are willing to adapt your playstyle to what our exprienced resto shammys says. Are you willing to learn and adapt your playstyle and talents to what is good for the guild?
