Overheal????Follow

Can someone explain what this means. I'm a fairly new Priest, and haven't heard this term before today.

Basically, any amount of healing that puts the target above 100%. 100% is the max, so anything over that is wasted. Healing over the max is called "overhealing", and is generally something you want to avoid. It shouldn't be as high on your priority as say, keeping people alive, but avoiding it will increase your mana efficiency.

Thx Boyz,

You answered my question completely, and yes, I read that thread which is why I asked the question. It seemed like lot of chat about something so simply explained. I'm still not sure why that thread made such an issue about the topic.

But basically, use your heals wisely to save mana! Other than that, are there any other negative effects to "Overhealing"....I mean statically, or aggro...etc..etc...

Thx again

Nope, other than mana management, there really aren't any other side effects.
