This video just helped my guild kill him for the first time today. I gave you a shoutout in my latest KZbin stream for the incredible video.

[@SigsPlays]

Thanks man! I'm so glad to hear that you found that video helpful - and congrats on the kill! =)

What add on are you using to show the procs and any chance you can share which voodoo profile you’re using I love the look.

[@SigsPlays]

So the Addon to track the procs is called Weakauras, you can find a download link here on Curseforge if you'd like: www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/weakauras-2 You can find a link to the specific Missile Barrage Weakaura that I'm using here: wago.io/Kptm918ct After installing the Addon go to the Wago link for the Weakaura above, click "Copy Import String" in the red oval near the top of the page, then type "/wa" (without the quotes) in-game and press enter. Then click Import near the top of the Weakauras settings window that should appear, then simply press ctrl + v and then click the red "Import" button down at the bottom. After that you should see the purple bubble when you get a Missile Barrage Proc. You can also adjust the size and position of the graphic from the Weakauras settings menu if you'd like. As far as the profile goes, I don't actually use voodoo or any healing addons. I use the Default UI but I use "Use Raid-Style Part Frames" under "Raid Frames" in the "Interface" section of the settings, along with "Display Class Colors" and "Display Power Bars". From there you can click the little arrow on the left hand side of the screen when in a Party, click the checkbox to Unlock the Frames, and then move / resize them however you'd like. I also use simple mouseover Macros for casting Healing Spells. Type "/m" (without the quotes), click "New", name your Macro, click "Okay", and then enter: #showtooltip /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Regeneration (Replacing Regeneration with whichever spell you'd like). Drag the Macro Icon to your Action Bar, then you can mouseover the Frame of the player you'd like to Heal and press your Keybind for that spell to heal them. I'm not sure if you needed the full breakdown but I figured that there might be other people who aren't familiar with Weakauras or the raid-frame settings who were wondering too, so I thought that I'd just lay it all out here. I hope that helps! =)

How do you know how much duration is left for chronomantic healing on your teammates?

[@SigsPlays]

So the short answer is that I don't, really. The default UI that I'm using doesn't show the remaining duration of the buff so in this recording I'm basically just watching the beacons getting applied in the bottom-right corner of the players raid-frame, and then keeping a mental count of when they need to be reapplied, (which comes with practice), or only reapplying them when I see the buff fall off, or when I know there is about to be damage going out. This is definitely not the best way though, and it's absolutely better to have the remaining duration information available, so I have since found a weakaura that works fairly well for tracking that. I'll post a link to the one that I found here: wago.io/_1DQgkWiu I did edit it quite a bit though because I found the flashing a little obnoxious, and I also changed the size and location to overlap with the buff on my raid frames. I'll link the edited one here, although it may not line up correctly depending on what your frames look like: wago.io/IE3z3jGbB In case you (or anyone else reading this) isn't familiar with the Weakauras addon, I'll post my faq blurb for it here too: The Addon is called Weakauras, you can find a download link here on Curseforge if you'd like: www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/weakauras-2 After installing the Addon go to the Wago link for the Weakaura above, click "Copy Import String" in the red oval near the top of the page, then type "/wa" (without the quotes) in-game and press enter. Then click Import near the top of the Weakauras settings window that should appear, then simply press ctrl + v and then click the red "Import" button down at the bottom. After that you should see the Temporal Beacon icon with the remaining duration on your raid frames. You can also adjust the size and position of the graphic from the Weakauras settings menu if you'd like. Sorry for the long answer, but I hope that helps to answer your question!

Did you see the buffs we got on our healing?

[@SigsPlays]

Yup! The extra direct healing for Regen / Mass Regen and Chronostatic Preservation, plus the reduced mana cost on Chronostatic Preservation is pretty nice. I still don't know if it's really worth using Chrono yet though

[@kileNoe]

I notice you dont use chrono heal. Why is that? With the mana cost reduction i feel like itll be even better for oh crap moments. Getting to raid tonight with the changes

[@SigsPlays]

This was before the recent changes, but I still feel like it isn't that useful and don't see anyone running it on the top HPS logs. It can definitely be good for an emergency heal, but having to pre-cast it in hopes of needing an emergency heal within the 15 second window, (or casting / immediately proccing it), when you can do more overall healing throughput with an Arcane Blast that has the same cast time if you have Beacons out on multiple targets (plus adding an Arcane Blast Stack for more damage / healing on subsequent Missile Barrage procs) just seems more useful to me. I like to run Spell Power instead for the extra damage too to help push the phases a little quicker and conserve Mana. I'm sure that it has it's uses though, and Healing certainly isn't an exact science, so if it works for you then that's great! I'd be interested to hear how you like it in your raid tonight too! =)
