one thing I do fail at is light raid damage. The other main healers are the other 3 classes and the druids always seem to have hots going on everything and the paladins are whackamole specialists. They snipe very well so I tend to concentrate on targets that will need more than a quick topper. I favor HW over LHW and that’s a personal fallacy. Though it works exceptionally well on Jaraxxus as I can usually get the incinerate flesh debuff off the target on my own. When I’m bored spam CH on one of the tanks to keep the melee topped up. CH spam on the tanks works exceptionally well when they’re all taking damage like Marrowgar.

I often come in “last” on the healing meters but I also come in last on the overhealing usually. I can push it to be first or second on some fights but that seems like the antithesis of what I do, which is keep people alive efficiently and without trouble. But as a long time enhancement shaman come resto I’m used to being at the bottom

As for the Earthliving problem:

Even as a veteran healer I still sometimes forget buff like Earthliving or Inner Fire. This is my easy and impossible to ignore solution.

I’m really curious as to how your resto shaman adventure is going to end. In my experience: You can’t like all of the healing specs. I get Druid Healing, I get Disc. I semi-get Holy, but I have somewhat of an aversion because it’s so popular compared to Disc any many holy priest fail at disc healing. I don’t get paladin healing at all.

Really, if you can do all the things I hear you talk about with Grid (which is a total mystery to me) you can set up some PowerAuras to your liking.

I have actually read that post multiple times!

I do suspect that you are correct though, I just need to learn to work with the tools in my kit and become more familiar with them. I really struggled with paladin healing until I gave myself a strict talking to and forced myself to realize I wasn’t a druid. Perhaps I need to do the same for Mynn.

And then again…perhaps I should just give enchance another go!

End story: It’s new, it’s complicated and I’m a chicken shit.

I think that covers it all

@Lash – Sell harder! I’m scurrred! It’s so big, and so…scary!

I’ve also taken to letting people die who don’t listen to polite and simple instructions

Perhaps it’s just going to take some getting used to

I will have to say, one of the things I do like about my shaman is getting to be tricksy with all of my totems! “you gonna fear me?! I don’t think so!” “You wanna fire ball me?!?! I don’t think so!”.

I think I have the hardest time when it’s just *me* healing, or if there are realtively few healers, but a lot to be healed.
