Comments on: My Rocky Relationship With Healing Touch http://fallingleavesandwings.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/my-rocky-relationship-with-healing-touch/ My Thoughts on Healing, Raiding, and being a Resto Druid Fri, 24 May 2013 02:22:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Beruthiel http://fallingleavesandwings.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/my-rocky-relationship-with-healing-touch/#comment-5036 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 17:16:46 +0000 http://fallingleavesandwings.wordpress.com/?p=2137#comment-5036 The other druid in our raid would do this with some regularity, however our tanks didn’t have an issue getting their adds down generally, so I always felt that my GCDs were better spent healing the tank/cleansing/topping up raid members who took damage. That’s not to say that Alys isn’t a great example of when to use it, because it is! I, personally, just didn’t feel it outweighed the healing that could be done with those extra GCDs in our group :)

So I know I’m not the only one who wasn’t using a ton of Healing Touch in a 25 man setting :) I really do think a lot of it will have to do with the responsibilities that you have in your raid.

I think it might have helped us a bit …sometimes we’d JUST get those birds done in time.
I also use it a lot on AOE pulls in dungeons, or things like RYO, just a bit of threat buff and little bits of damage…if my mana is ok, why not?

I’m going to tinker with my playstyle and see what happens.

I didn’t even have nature’s swiftness as part of my spec and when I did get an OOC proc it was always for regrowths so I could get back to raid healing quicker. Now that I tank heal healing touch is a major part of my toolbox.

I have to agree on thorns, I’m not entirely sure what the purpose of that spell is anymore. Help the tank with hatchlings when we were first learning alys is the only use I’ve figured for it. It must have some more specific PvP purpose.
