Healers: What do you heal for?

CrazyCarl · 07/12/06, 7:39 PM

The question mainly being what do you aim for your average heal to hit? Myself, I aim for around 1k-1.1k and then adjust whenever need be. I'm interested to hear what others do, even Paladins/Druids/Shamans.

On my shaman I use lower rank heals to hit the 1100-1300 range on my Healing Waves (rank 7), and about 800 on the Lesser HW (rank 4).
If I go all out I'm healing for around 2k non crit on the HW (over 4k crit heal) and 1400-1500 on the LHW.

I'm skeptical about the 1400-1500 LHW unless you mean with ZHC or something.

With Healing Way I can get regular max HWs for 3k, crit 4.5k. LHW in the 1340 range usually. My gear is close to optimal pre-Naxx.

Shaman in my guild (wears alot of leather, has roughly 800-900 +healing) can heal for 1400ish on a lhw. That being said, he normally deranks to rank 3 or 4 to heal.

I personally like to hit the 800 mark with my lhw (Rank 4 with around 650+ healing). Its what I have found to be a good number to shoot for to avoid overhealing.

What do they heal for? To keep people alive silly.

Khlysti · 07/12/06, 8:08 PM

1250 on heal2, 3000 gheal5 and 1400 flash7

covers the 3 I most use, I dont bother to rank down below heal 2 however as its near enough to a free heal now already.

Wibble · 07/12/06, 8:09 PM

Max Flash Heal hits for about 1500 (2.3k crit), rank 2 Heal just about the same, slightly higher with spirit buffs (talent). Gheal I play around with ranks depending on what I'm doing (rank 1 if I just want to apply the Trans HoT, rank 2 generally for Patchy). I can downrank flash if I need, but generally I don't care much about overhealing on Naxx trash with spiky damage when I don't go OOM. I'm sure I could be more efficient, though; I'm a noob.

Edit: Renew (rank 10) is 470/tick. Gogo Maexxna!

also, I thought you meant "why are you a healer?" :o

Rank 7 Flash: 1450~ Renew Tick: 428 Rank 2 Heal: 1300~

I'm curious about shaman healing, do shamans typically use cloth and leather like paladins to boost their healing effectiveness? I know shaman healing itemization is pretty shit and more bent towards +dmg and +crit.

xkmonkey · 07/12/06, 9:21 PM

Flash of light 6 heals for 930, FoL 1 for 600

Holy Light 4 for 1400 and HL 9 for 2900.

That's all with Blessing of Light though.

The only ones I've seen do this, ironically, are more elemental specced than anything. I can't say I've seen many resto-heavy, or enhancement/resto shaman not using mail.

I like to keep around 1k primary heal (HW5 with Healing Way). Rank 7 LHW/ Rank 3 Chain Heal are always on my hotbar. Rank 10 healing wave bound to an NS macro.

I can spam rank 5 healing wave with an interupt macro for what seems like months. Rank 3 HW is below my regen rate when I'm raid buffed. Its fun for linear damage fights.

Oneiros · 07/13/06, 10:07 AM

Since no druids have replied I'll toss in my 2 cents.

Rank 4 is my primary heal. I keep rank 4, rank 7, and rank 11 Healing Touch on my bar. I hardly ever use 7 unless somehow some healers died and i need to put out some more healing/second. Rank 4 heals for between 950-1050 and crits for around 1450. Its a 2.5 second cast and it only costs 166 mana so I can just pretty much spam it forever without going oom. With spamming heals for only about 1k each, I do notice my overhealing has gone a lot down and my efficiency has gone way up.

Nope no ZHC. I've got +758 healing on my shammy, all mail - no leather/cloth, along with the Fang from the AQ quest.
Here's my CT Profile - http://ctprofiles.net/3224
I wear the stormcaller head and shoulders and 5 TS (never got the belt, still have the EF belt).

I may have over-estimated (I've been playing a warrior lately and haven't been on my shaman too much this month) so it may not be as high as 1400, but I know for a fact my LHW at max rank, non crit, hits for at least 1200. My chain heal crits do something like 1200-1400 on the first target I think (I don't use a lot of chain heal so I don't remember off the top of my head). My HW crits are 4k with no Healing Way on the target, pushing 4.5k-4.6k with full Healing Way on.

♦ Praetorian · 07/13/06, 10:18 AM

Oh man, Neltharion's Tear.

Yeah, I think you just overestimated a bit. I have a bit less +healing than you (663) and consistently get around the mid-1300s noncrit, with the +80 to LHW trinket, so 1400-1500 seemed a bit farfetched. 1400+ will definitely be possible with Naxx gear, though. When I'm done with Naxx I'll have over +1000 healing. :o
