Something to note about a healer's purpose: The name "Healer" is misleading. It's less healing, and more about supporting your group. You should be *dispelling*, *interrupting*, *repositioning people*, *stunning and CCing*, and *mitigating damage*, not just healing. Think of healing as just being your secondary job, and you'll see yourself being much more productive in dungeons.

I am a resto shaman myself and I have never used anything but my healing totems, riptide, chainheal, healing rain, healing surge/wave. My dispel is on the bar but not even bound to a key, my interrupt is bound to an awkward key combination. The ting is I would use it if i knew when and how to, probably even rebind them to close keys if I notice that I need them often. But right now as it is I never notice anyone needing to get dispelled or mobs/bosses interrupted and if I do, when I find where on the bar the spell is it's already too late.

As a main healer since TBC this job will make you insane. You notice basically every single mistake anyone in your group does and it lets you see how bad most players are. You mention that it is stressful and horrible when things go wrong but this doesn't have to be the case. If the group is filled with idiots who play the blame game just leave it and don't waste your time. Like you said, healing can't really change a run. I can keep people alive when they fuck up but I don't make things go faster or easier if they do fuck up. Since you can't carry a run by yourself, just leave and don't waste your time.

Healing for me, and ive been healing since Vanilla, is one of the most relaxing things i can do, and when things go wrong, i actually get very excited to see if i can keep people alive, its like playing a game seeing if u can beat the health pools from dropping, most of the time tanks or dps take responsibility, if not always in my case. and as for getting a thanks? since healers are a more needed role, people are more likely to send you friend requests and want to play with you again.

@Allirian8 жыл бұрын
With regards to dispels -- Yes, I agree that a good healer will know when to dispel; however, I also think that what you're dispelling matters. Example: If I have a Riptide on a dps, and he has a debuff that deals minor damage-over-time, it's actually inefficient to dispel if the Riptide will sustain the damage dealt. Also, it's worth mentioning that "topping people off" isn't always the best policy in healing. Specifically in raids, doing that typically leads to an overwhelming amount of over-healing. One of the fundamentals of healing is mana-management. If you're new to healing, and you're not well geared, mana can be a huge issue -- even in heroics. If a dps is at 85% health, and you have 30% mana, it's probably not in your best interest to throw a Healing Surge their way. Just my two cents. Look forward to more videos.

I would make the argument that a tank needs to know what could possibly be ninja pulled as much as, if not more than a healer. Both roles should know the mechanics of the dungeon trash and bosses enough to know how to deal with them. I've never thought of dispelling as a predictive thing. I know which fights I need to dispel on, but I also know that when a player's bar changes color in VuhDo, I hit ScrollUp (my default for dispels on any healing class). I also don't think of staying ahead on healing as a predictive thing, at least at the basic level. Staying ahead on healing is as simple as topping people off when you have the chance. The only time it gets predictive is when you need to predict who to top off or who to ignore based on specific mechanics. For example, if you just got hit by a big AoE, do you heal the tank, or do you AoE heal, or is someone about to get hit by a single target mechanic? In that case, staying ahead on healing is predictive, but in general it's just playing whack-a-mole with health bars and not using a bigger heal than you need.

I don't know what healer you play, but a Restoration Druid needs to know how the fight will unfold beforehand or you won't be ever able to catch up. It's not a big deal in Heroic or regular Mythics, but once you get to +12 or higher it is absolutely essential.

@danielskrivan69218 жыл бұрын
Vít Savický Yes, but I would argue it's not a basic technique that you need to work on while learning the basics. Once you've learned the basics, becoming predictive in content you know is a good idea, but it's not necessary to succeed at the basic level and it shouldn't be one of the first things you work on. Resto druids are also unique in that regard. Most other healers don't need to be as predictive in general. Even with a Resto Druid, it's not the first thing you need to learn.
@vitsavicky8 жыл бұрын
No, not basic, but to be a good healer (and not just mediocre) you need to learn this. It really shouldn't be so hard, but then again I often see people completely oblivious to what is going around them in the first place, let alone predict anything. So no, not a basic skill, but it is what separates the good from the mediocre.

I usually lurk and agree when it comes to vids, but this one I'm going to have to disagree. Dispelling and prevention yeah, but I would have to say that a good healer can bump a shitty group to a passable one, a good group to a group that can speed run. I have made okay tanks feel like gods, and have made shitty tanks feel pretty good about themselves. I would also say that healers being thankless isn't true, I've had many compliments from randoms. However, I would say that a good disc Priest will go unnoticed but a shit one(which I have found more often then not) will just get raked over the coals. I have also been known to let people die of they continuously stand in shit and cause problems. I wouldn't say I'm a god at healing but I feel like I'm pretty decent.

I think rerolling disc in Legion really helped me learn group dynamics. I've been main healing since WotLK (back then as disc mostly, then hpally then rshammy then back to hpally for a while) so I think I picked up on the disc ebb and flow that exists in Legion pretty quickly, but I throughly understand why some people say it's too confusing and convoluted. In general tho, I feel like this expansion, I've known the dungeons and trashpacks and bosses and mechanics to everything a hell of a lot better, starting to actually think like you explain in this video. I don't use mouseover but I use VuhDo with targeting off and I modded in atonement to show, so I can keep boss/enemy npc targeted full-time while seeing exactly what's happening to my group members. I'm not suggesting someone new pick up and try discipline and will immediately get success, it'll be difficult, but learning group and raid awareness, it's definitely a good spec to hone those skills.

Lawlhero for me, the rotation and kinda the flow of knowing how much damage you do in relation to how much healing it will do, that was the toughest for me. starting to realize how much healing i can do spamming shadow mend and how much rough healing my absorbs amount to when i pop rapture etc, it really took a few months for me to really click and feel it as a secondhand nature thing, and not be something i had to consciously look at and analyze. i definitely think there's a skill curve, but there's also a gear/AP curve that you have to meet before you can stay relevant in later content. i haven't gone too far into endgame, just early M+ (873ilevel) but i definitely felt like i needed some significant AP and a fair amount of haste to help with PW:S cooldown as well as cast speeds, and mana management can be something that you'll need to learn and look at closely for a while before you get the feel. i like the feel of disc, but you need to take a bit more of an active roll in the group, and early on when you're learning the spec, you'll need to have groups that know how to use personal cooldowns to help out etc

I've incredibly rarely had anyone whisper me about anything as a healer in the PuG world. You're often just invisible until either the group fucks up or you fuck up. Interrupting and doing good damage as a DPSer can get noticed but most often wont(unless you massively outgear the content and your group members). As a tank I've had several people whisper me(often the healers when they think I'm making their lives easier) and I've played tank the least of all roles by a huge amount. I have noticed a lot less blaming goining on in the Legion PuG world(at least in m2+ dungeons) though, in general. People aren't as quick to blame the healer or tank, most of the time people are just quite in my experience- until 3 or 4 wipes happen ofc then people go balistic. There is the odd player who doesn't pay attention but like to dictate obvious things to people, like a tank yesterday who said that I should dispel the damage debuff in the beginning of BRH that was on him. Of course not noticing that the group isn't dead because I had been dispelling the DPSers who can actually die from it if they get more than 1 stack. But they usually understand when you say you were dispelling the DPS or whatever the situation was. My point is that you rarely get noticed as a solid player, whatever you play, in the PuG world. Extreme DPS due to gear is easily noticable and cheered often but other than that people seem to just expect that a run should be smooth and it's usually just silence until something goes extremely bad...but I do think a bigger part of the community is aware of their own mistakes, at least in Legion m+ dungeons, than in earlier expansions. From a healer perspective that is(I can't remember being blamed for bad healing when people stood in things, for example, not even once).

You might spam more but without you knowing all the incoming damage and noticing how the dps and tanks are doing under the dungeon they would drop like flies. So far I've never gotten someone to rage at me, at all for doing my job and in my cases they're flaming each other for ninja pulling and dying lol. I only got kicked once from a dungeon when I was low lvl and questioned the tank why he had intellect gear. I think he was embarrassed he had the wrong gear and didn't want anyone else to notice xD

Well dispelling removes bad stuff that needs to be healed if left alone so get rid of it if possible.
@vitsavicky8 жыл бұрын
Not always. Since dispel has an 8 second CD you sometimes need to save the CD for an incoming stun and just heal through the damage. That is another skill you need to have as a healer. When not to dispel.

And to know what can be dispelled, since not all dispels are equal.

I can honestly agree that healing is a thankless job, a prime example of this is when I was in a mythic 1 on my tank and we all wiped on this boss except for myself. I was on my blood dk so battle rested the healer and they kept going and after we killed the boss I got a few compliments for being quick with the battle res and etc, but the, without the healer it wouldn't have been possible, but afaik they didn't get any thanks whatsoever.

I actually like the spamming situation. Feels so good to see everyone drop and actually pull through and keep people up. Big dick healing when the big dick healing counts.

A good example is polymorhp frog by the trolls to the tank in Zul Farak or Sunken Temple. Take poisons off the tank as well. PoH, CoH before it all changed on disc. A good tank is a one who says are we ready. I remember in old RF Chasm. Where the tauren tank refused to tank. Lay down at the end. Went to sleep. Lay there the whole end fight. And then the paladin hunter pulled. And through out the whole end boss fight. I just healed. And at the end the tank got up and said ty. And I thought I'd rather do this than run back from Razor hill. I was Lv 16 Orc shaman. The tauren tank just got up said ty and collected his reward. And we all just left. Lmao. Every one stepped over the tauren tank to get to the boss.

Yes its a horrible experience pugging Ill agree. Although I live in that world, literally 95% of everything ive done has been pugs as one of my 5 healers. Maybe I just enjoy the pain lol.

You should also mention this: When you enter a mythic + dugeon as a healer, do as I do: Explain to people that if they die, there is a 90% chance THEY fucked up, not you. When I'm using my Disc spec, it's real for me. You're not going to die as long as you don't fuck up real bad.

The reason I stopped Healing....The Tank pulling the whole zone and not taunting and votes to kick healer when we wipe. Usually I've spammed every heal I have and am OOM when we wipe.

I main a Resto Druid - have since Vanilla with some breaks here and there - and with a HoT based healer all of what you are saying is so true. Especially the part about falling behind. If you fall behind and don't predict the fight correctly as a Resto Druid you are fucked. It is very hard to catch up in a +12 or higher Mythic. Some of those mobs will fuck your group up in a matter of seconds. Also, every time I run a dungeon as some other role other than a healer I am pulling my hair out because people apparently have no clue what dispel even means... Edit: Unless I missed it, you really should mention that not all tanks "want" to be always topped. For example Druids, Demon Hunters and Death Knights all have self-healing mechanics and you should allow them to use those mechanics. I usually heal these tanks to 70% and they will take care of the rest on their own. Unless I know they will be taking a lot of damage - like Ymirons Dark Slash. It frees time to do other things - healing the group or doing damage. Other tanks like Monks and Warriors focus more on mitigation than self-heal so they should hover somewhere around 90%.

For sure, I (Holy Priest) mainly heal a Blood DK in Mythic + and unless it's something big coming in I can practically leave him to his own devices on just about anything +7 or under Affixes depending.

This might sound stupid but I actually have a phobia of healing (and tanking, due to some private server madness) even though I was a holy paladin in TBC and did okay, killed and saw all the major stuff there. Later I started playing DPS in WotLK as I found healing too stressing and difficult for me in that exp. and got bored of it entirely when we reached ICC so I quit playing WoW. Now I want to come back, but I want to heal and tank, watching these videos gave me some 'courage' to do it, hopefully I won't chicken out :D

Ádám Kovács healing is easy you get some people like in this video who stand in things. when I see people doing that I call them out on it and they learn not to stand in everything. on one run I did a ret pally was standing were the tank stands and I blew my mana bar just keeping him up. I called him out and he didn't even know that I did that; next pull he did that again so I ignored him on healing guess how many more times he did that? NONE!!!!! as far as healing it's fun for me I don't get stressed out it's relaxing for me since my life is full of stress anyway.
@DecayedPony8 жыл бұрын
Healing's really fun, and it's a different dynamic than other roles, just start off slow with heroics, look up your class stat priorities (AND why those stats are valued the way they are), read your spell book inside and out and just think of different scenarios to use them. Don't be afraid to use cooldowns on trash pulls when you feel like you're falling behind, do the fights on normal / heroic and just take mental notes of abilities and know that they'll hit harder on mythic and mythic +, don't be afraid to use your external defensive cooldowns (20% damage reduction on friendly targets) when you feel they may be in grave danger and their role is important (Tank or very strong dps), and practice practice practice. If anyone gives you shit, calls you bad just know that you're new and just use that to motivate to get better, and once it clicks, you can just feel the flow of it and how it compliments the group and the run as a whole. Don't be afraid to fail, don't be afraid to wipe, just look forward and strive to improve.

It would be cool to have an interactive dungeon, raid explorer - so that I can go the path the team usually picks - click on mobs, bosses on the fly and see their stats, abilities and whatnot. As a new player I would find that quite useful (instead of learning it the hard way :D) Also in Legion there is one dungeon where healers get the blame constantly - elevator kills :D (it's silly elevator moves faster than falling person ;)) In one of timewalked BC dungeons I had a weird run where our tank was getting like two lines of debuffs. I dispel, he gets it again... AFAIK those was void walkers things. MW Monk has some more cooldown on the dispel so the tank had a hard one ;)
