interesting tip about earth shield. I only realized last night that my healing affects it. We were farming in elemental plateu and I asked the tank how much health he was getting back. More than what the buff says.
I still don't use chain heal as much as I should, but I'm getting much better at it. I still use max healing wave alot. On trash I don't really care about efficiency. On some Kara trash I'll spam lesser healing wave while the priest is getting in with his greater heals. Helps fill in the gaps. I don't care about mana efficiency on trash too much. But sometimes I'll just spam healing wave. Just have to start off early enough.
Totem management can be a pita. I know I get low on mana, but sometimes we need that windfury. The curator fight was one example. It's a fairly long fight. And I did have to relay totems once (maybe it was twice?). The priest and I just barely had enough mana for that fight. But we still burned through pots pretty good.
I/we are struggling with post shade stuff now. That dragon fight seems impossible (although so did Moroes and Curator at first). You can forget about chain heal. I'm lucky if anyone is in range of my heals at all. I'm getting frustrated with these type of battles. I admit I'm not that good at dancing around and healing at the same time. So many things to watch at once. I have to watch everyone's health, watch where I'm standing (so I'm not in those black dots), watch the beams. then move to the back of the room during that enrage thing. It's a lot to handle. And I don't know about totems in that fight. I think they are being wiped somehow. And everyone is so spread out, I don't know how useful they'd be.
But I did get those cool shoulders from Curator. They look so cool on a Tauren.
