Also try to remember and put your ego away and know 90% of players get stunned locked on fire and can’t help it. If you get people that willingly stand on it or don’t know, you must be running a non M+ or low level anyway so why get mad. Just tell them because they probably don’t know, you were once that person is what gets me the most.
I’ve known people that will intentionally try to brick your key cause they do it for fun. But, yes 99% of the time they just don’t know they were standing in something. However if you tell them and they just say that you’re bad or whatever else I would probably leave at that point. This is important to anyone reading this for advice, please learn when criticism of your healing is legitimate and when it isn’t.
Then you're missing out when someone says at the end that you're an insane healer :) that makes everything better.😊 But yes, sometimes it's more pleasant not to read 😅😅
Nice guide. Just want to add to your point about throwing yourself into content in order to learn. I watched a video earlier this evening about a guy who's literally blind in one eye, and so extremely nearsighted in the other that he can hardly see all that's going on. To this end, he plays with a controller, and he made a custom Weakaura to help him select heal targets. On top of this, he first went into follower dungeons as a healer and practiced with them. It was inspiring to watch, not only because he was new to healing and legit blind, but also because he uses a controller to play. So I would say that, yes, you can just throw yourself into content but, just maybe, staring with follower dungeons would be a much better environment to build some muscle memory without all the toxic feedback from the party. Cheers!
I just literally say this. His title referenced his blindness and first time healing in WOW. I did not really care about the content. Though it is fascinating how youtube targets us. Wonder if he was advertising it. I am replying to a guy who appears to be 40 +. Serious boomer which according to most is a serious disadvantage. However, while possibly not as disadvantaged this boomer dude still plays.
As a healer since 2008, the healer was hard, yes. In cataclysm era, was clearly the hardest role but since then it eased up a bit but since m+ started, DPS is the clear hardest role. Healing high m+ keys is stressfull especially when its a PUG. Healers basically have no Global Cooldown to spare you either heal, dispel or dps but sometimes even that is not enough.
As Pres you can use Echo on the same person you're about to heal to make it a larger reactive heal. You don't have to target two different people proactively.
If I was to recommend a healer for beginners I would say holy priest, as its the most straightforward. However, right now most groups in mythic+ are looking for shaman. Shaman has alot more buttons than holy priest, but i'd say try all of them and find which one you like the most. As the one you enjoy playing you will want to get better at playing it. Good luck!!
what healer should you play; resto shaman. atleast if u want to get invites to pugs. 2500io 620 mw and cant get invites to +9/10 pugs because im not a resto shaman :)
Ahh yes the dps players, who start blaming the healer when they die... In shadowlands I was playing my disc priest in cata timewalk and had that fury warrior, who didnt dodge a single mechanic. On forgemaster throngus he just stood there in the shields flames and got roasted to death. He then posted a dmg meter, in which I was first place in dmg done (I was a CE raider back then had had everything min maxxed) and started insulting me and demanded me to stop dealing dmg and start healing. He didnt even know how attonment worked, didnt look at healing done (which was of the roofs, because I was first in dmg and 100% attonment uptime) and just decided to blame a CE healer for his shortcomings. The whole group made fun of him and we kicked and reported him, because he thought he knew everything better and started insulting everyone, eventhough he was probably the worst player I have ever seen in wow.
I feel ashamed, I’m basically a one trick pony shadow priest, sub par at best. I’d love to heal and I try disc, but it’s like I’m playing a totally different character and crippling anxiety sets in.
Take it one step at a time if you really want to do it, the only way I really know how to really get over the anxiety, is to throw yourself into a random dungeon and just try your best! You will get better with experience.
To get the hang of Discipline, just go to a Follower Dungeon, use Power Word: Radiance to keep Atonement active on everyone and focus on doing damage as if you are still Shadow.
My team was around 3300 last season so we're decent but a bit under title range keys. From our testing in progression 10s at 610 ilevel, if the DPS don't use their defensives on exactly the right boss abilities and the healer doesn't plan his CDs accordingly, you won't finish a 10 even if you have 10 hours to do it. We completely stopped inviting resto druids and pres evoker. Resto druids constantly let people die while they're in cat form trying to maximize their dmg parse and pres evokers kill more people with rescue than they save XD and they are severely lacking in the decurse department. MW are fine but again, no decurse so you need a special comp or some spots will be impossible to heal. Priests would be great if they could dispell something but no poison or decurse is a no go. For 7s it's fine, for 9 maybe, but we ain't even risking it in 10s. Meanwhile, resto shaman can dispell all that needs dispelling and they have plenty of CDs to cycle.
I feel this, especially in grim batol with the curses on my monk. If I don't take soothing mist healing the curse off is rough on higher level keys. Resto shaman just seems to be really good for the dungeon pool for this season. If you play the other healers then you gotta bring a de-curse of some kind or poison dispels.
I did all roles, and I think healer and tank are by far the hardest and it's not even close. DPS makes a mistake, their dmg suffers or they die - the key is still fine but timer is tight. Tank makes a mistake, they die, then everybody else dies - key is bricked. Tank has a bad route, key is bricked the minute you put it in, so tanks have to do lots of research. Healer misuses a CD, everybody dies in 1 minutes cause no CD for next big aoe - key is bricked. Healer makes a solid mistake, everybody dies - key is bricked. Healers and tanks have to go entire keys playing near perfect; dps can play very suboptimally and still get hard carried to 2500. It's very hard to be carried as a tank or healer.
I NEVER stop healing anyone no matter what they say or do. I am a good healer because I am a good healer not because of anything else. I think this mindset of "just do not heal them" is exactly bad healer thinking.
Tbh that's a fair take, I was just mentioning that as way for others to get over healer anxiety, and to not feel bad about not healing someone that is openly berating them. At the end of the day it's a video game and if you feel the end justifies the means then go for it. I also mention that, this sort of behavior is considered toxic and to not do it, but it's something to keep in mind.

The biggest skill to learn as a healer is to not read chat.
This might be the biggest Truth ever

That’s awesome! But, yes any content you feel comfortable with, including follower dungeons are good ways to learn how to heal.

Very well written guide thank you
Please do this (play style breakdown) for range and melee. Love this video. I would love to know the playstyle of each spec in the game
Thanks! Out of curiosity, what class/spec would you want to see first? Also, do you mean like dps ranged and melee?

You don't have to target two different people proactively.
True, but then you’re using 2 globals to heal someone thats potentially about to die. I brought that spell up since its mostly used proactively.
Is there one healer class/spec that is the most beginner friendly?
If I was to recommend a healer for beginners I would say holy priest, as its the most straightforward. However, right now most groups in mythic+ are looking for shaman. Shaman has alot more buttons than holy priest, but i'd say try all of them and find which one you like the most. As the one you enjoy playing you will want to get better at playing it.

Peraonaly, I use echo on reversion on the tank for double hots

I feel this on personal level

@@Jerriduk Exactly. The issue for those specs lacking essential utility is they need a comp that works, which is tough in pugs.
bullshit tanks cry that there job is the hardest, IMO I actually think dps is the harest rol but what do I know lol
If dps was the hardest role I don’t think there’d be so many people playing it
I did all roles, and I think healer and tank are by far the hardest and it's not even close. DPS makes a mistake, their dmg suffers or they die - the key is still fine but timer is tight. Tank makes a mistake, they die, then everybody else dies - key is bricked. Tank has a bad route, key is bricked the minute you put it in, so tanks have to do lots of research.

Very true
@VDHmain i feel like the dps checks are really tight though this season and the rotations of dps are a lot harder
@@danielhenry6777 That is not true at all.
