Healing heroicsFollow

Isn't the auto-complete feature an add-on? And yes, I use /w <name> a lot as well, but sometimes you need to set raid icons and using Grid with the click thing just ruins it.

Besides, I can reach 1-5 and Alt, Ctrl, Shift easily on my keyboard, so that's 20 key-bindings right there. Considering I move a lot with my mouse, I can even cast spells while on the go, so clicking portraits just seems like overdoing it a bit.

I only heal on my priest and I use Grid.

I use WASD to move and the mouse the heal with uber-macro-ness. Granted click macros but I don't have a mouse.


Shut up, I know I need a mouse. Just lay off off all ready.

Mouse over + Grid would be so cool. [*jealous*]

I use a priest to heal. Duh, druids are for tank.

But no, I use track pad to click a target then hit a button.

I just stay insanely active and can move while I heal.

Most of my heals aren't the hand I move with. I do have 2 hands.

But really should get a mouse.

PS: Friar has all ready scolded me.

Dos, I've read up on your posts and enjoyed following your groups progress.

My first Heroic running toon was a warlock and I learned all the fights without being vital to the groups survival. That experience enabled me to heal heroics with less stress than if I stepped into heroics for the first time being expected to heal like a pro. Knowing the fights is key to heroics, as you have seen with your own eyes now. I also did the feral kitty approach to gear at first. But once I started spending emblems on the T9 resto gear, that gear vastly outgeared my feral set, and I was set to heal instead.

My only advise to you now would be to get a few addons. Much like everyone else suggests. I use Healbot which I find imperative to do a good job. (If you chose grid or healbot would be personal preference) I can do the job fine with the standard UI too, but the addons just make the job so much easier with added flexibility of being more mobile during the fights. I also NEVER miss my own healthbar this way.

I hope you update us on your progress as you finish the various HC's.

My take on the heroics;
Fastest: A-N. The hunter bug makes this one go in 10 minutes.
Hardest: HoR. If dps doesn't coordinate on the priests first, the waves can be overwhelming.
Easiest: I've found UP to be really easy after the nerf. Only the trash before the final boss can sometimes cause problems.
Best time vs Emblems: Occulus can be done really quick with a coordinated group compared to the amount of emblems you get.

Of course your group may feel differently about it.
