Gear questions about HeroicsFollow

#1 Mar 26 2008 at 3:26 PM Rating: Decent
Just had a quick question about starting into heroics/maybe arenas ...

How much Health/Mana/Healing should I be aiming for before I start doing arena/heroics? I just respecced Resto and have some nice gear so I think anyways ... I've got about 8000 Health/7500 Mana and +912 Healing.

What gear should I be aiming to get to increase my healing? And also one more question, how much +healing do I need to enter Kara and heal effectivly ...

Thanks for your help in advance :D

PS: Woot, dinged 70 last Friday and got my epic flyer 2 days ago :D:D:Dx10

912 +heal is a bit low...the minimum recommended for starting kara and earlier heroics is 1000 +heal, 8500 mana, 7000 health, and 125 mp/5. The mp/5 is much easier to get now than it used to be (and you probably want at least 150 mp/5 now). Also understand that some heroics, such as blood furnace, ramps, and underbog are much easier than others, such as arcatraz and magister's terrace.

SO I need a minimum of 1000 ... I should be able to get that within this week ... I"m thining my next 3 Gladiator pieces to replace the greens I'm still wearing should push me close to 1150-1200 ... I hope that will do for now.

I was wonderin about the Arena though, would I be ok to go in to 2v2's or maybe even 5v5's with my setup? Oh yeah and I am at about 115 mp/5 at the moment, so hopefully that's good enough too for both Heroic or Arena.

Thanks for the help skribs ... but any other info/advice from the rest of y'all would be awesome. :D

In arenas, big health pools, mana pools, and high healing is what you need. In raids mp/5, spirit, and +heal are more important (as long as your mana and health pool are big enough). Arenas are about healing through burst damage, and most should be over quick enough that your mana shouldn't be an issue. You also need health (and armor) so that if people are hitting you, you can last. Raids on the other hand are about the longevity of your mana pool, so long as your healing is sufficient. Therefore, uber mana regen is needed (raid buffed I had 307 mp/5 while casting last night, and I still have a green and several blues).

I have 1108+ healing, 8k hp, bout 8.5 mana and around 230 mp5. with this said, i still have trouble healing heroics. Only thing i can think of is that i might need a better healing strategy (specialy on those cases when the whole grp takes like 2k dmg and i get a panic attack, dont know how to keep up with the burst dmg everyone takes while keeping the tank up.)

Kara is a different story, because i only heal the tank and maybe OT, while some1 else heals the party/raid. Not much multitasking there bust still i feel that i struggle a bit to keep them up. Despite the fact that i rarely run out of mana (with a pally in grp) i think the problem is in my +healing, im pretty sure when i reach +1200 healing it will all get better... i hope.
