Any druid healers out there? Especially those in Malaysia with lagging streamyx. My head sakit now trying to heal in Heroics.

Do you have a shadow priest in the group to leave druid healer to focus on tank healing only? Or you're the only healer in the group?

Overheals using HT? But it may be very very big HT very early on in the game-aggro puller?

Mind you, I went into Heroic BM. Tank + Melee were taking 2K-3K hits from Rift Lord Warrior thunderclasp.

Because of streamyx lag, heals get out 1-2 sec after buttonpress.

yeah, went into heroic BM coz guildies persuade me that they heard from a friend that it's only slightly more difficult than normal BM.

sets84 : tell me a time when streamyx stops lagging. tongue.gif but last nite was hell in kara. bad lag spikes everywhere.

Qua : yeah, was thinking an offhealer who can still DPS . shadow priest would be nice. but the 2nd healers is full healing spec of hybrid healer?

not putting down on melee but just healing me one person is easier than healing an additional person. 2 ppl who can kite n kill their mob by themselves quicker than anything rather than a dps melee class who cant kite (probably can but cant kill it) the choice is pretty obvious. Its doable but reali u wouldnt understand how much simpler n smoother it is w/o a melee.

true but i'm just wondering whether there is a different way of playing the healing class through heroics.

besides, nothing beats pushing the healer to sharpen his button smashing skills. happy.gif


Added on May 8, 2007, 4:23 pmalthough come to think about it, i do like stressing ppl out when their health drops low. usually leave them worried when their health is at 50% and no heals coming.

makes DPS output better! brows.gif

yeah true. although sometimes no choice. i'm stuck in a dilemma of not bringing too many melee players and having to be one of the few guild healers who are on most of the time. want time to rest also cannot. pugging isn't so nice lately.

although, kurei, do you reckon that players will be geared enough one day that it's possible to have tank + melee DPS + healer group for heroics?

an observation from my guildie who was pugging a group through normal SL. might work in heroics.

3 pallys together. 1 tank + 2 healing him. that tank was holding 5-6 mobs at one time. remaining party spots were taking by a rogue + mage. free run. happy.gif

well, still makes it an interesting read. i like hearing of different styles.

another i heard was that a mage tanking and a rogue DPSing from behind, running around as well. they were running instances like this in Frostmourne. had problems finding a tank so they did it this way.

Went into Heroic Mechanar. Yep, u guys were right, it is the easiest but getting sleepy so was making mistakes. Plus we didn't have a nice group for handling Pantheon so we wipe (2 mages + 1 rogue + 1 tank + me resto druid healing).

Below elevator, still had 50% mana after the major pulls. Above the elevator, was OOMing fast at groups of 4 which seemed to be hitting tank harder. Patroller was sometimes touch and go. Mini bosses were easy. Patheon we couldn't handle becoz of the adds - no fear to handle them.

Haven't settled on a healing style yet. Trying out lifebloom + max Rejuv + max Regrowth and keeping those on him. Not exactly the best style atm, I know. Trying out max heals atm so OOMing fast I know. Still testing things out a bit. Am still overhealing the tank. When huge burst, it's swiftmend to HP up.

1.8K heals. O.O Ah well, time for more gear hunting.
