Tip for learning utility spells:

Do it the same way as learning to keybind. Have all your base abilities you need to heal bound and ready, and then add in a new utility ability. Use it every time you see a good opportunity for it. Once you feel you comfortably have a grasp of it, add a second utility ability. Once you feel you have the grasp of using them both, add a third. Continue until all moves are fulfilled, and dont be afraid to go back to square one with a new ability. If you arent able to add another and give the new ability the attention it deserves, strip everything else off and just have that ability on its own to learn it, then add it back to the whole. Do not be discouraged if its slow, you're asking yourself to completely change the criteria you're looking for and add a new reaction for it. As long as you can keep people alive you have nothing to be worried about. Turning yourself into an exceptional healer two months from now is superior to being an okay healer next week.

Some may disagree with this method and that's fine. From my point of view, using one spell very well is superior to having them all available and rarely thinking to use them.

Okay but when is the tier list for delves coming? I need to know how to optimize my underground adventures!

"How proactive do you be?" I love that you rolled with it in the text as well lmao

I was never a fan of Monks but when I tried MW I was blown away. That is some really fun game play.

[magdalacasey]

THANK YOU!! I’ve been dipping my toe into healing for a while now, but want to dive in this next expansion.

[DrT]

I’m so happy about all this growl content

[Subforum]

Totally agree with your rankings, Growl. Also worth mentioning is that both the Hero trees for Resto Shaman are easy to grasp, with Farseer multiplying the single-target whack-a-mole heals and Totemic providing a ton of automatic Chain Heals and persistent ground heal effects. Both being suitable for new healers means you'll have options, which should make the class more enjoyable for everyone.

Here I was drinking my ice tea, enjoying my pool and the summer, and I was like. I could watch a Yumy video on top of that.
Thanks you Sir

Love your Vids.... hopefully you will find the time to do a 5 minute how-to-play for each healer for advanced players, who maybe just want to change their spec/class ...

[zarla]

Also, if you're doing Mythic + and you feel like you're running out of mana, do not hesitate to tell the group that you need to stop and drink some. Remember your water, they'll always be purchasable from Innkeepers where you can set your Hearthstone.

[Gordonfreems]

Resto shaman has the most keybinds of all healers, it is easy to heal on a mediocre level but difficult to master which is why I love it

[katzicael]

I Healed my way to KSM/KSH as presvoker in S3, was great fun. Also did some mucky about as Aug lol.

[jmarshall]

As a new player to retail WoW healing its nice to be validated in my choices for healer (Disc and Pres) being difficult and not just me being a simple classic healer :D
Discipline felt very alien, trying to keep atonements up and still doing damage to get the healing done so I made a dragon and while its not been easy it feels a lot better to move around and breathe green fire into my party members behinds. Only done +2's so far but i've had so much more fun than I was in classic (other than the whirlpools of pain and suffering).

[tyrgannusgaming]

I've tried Holy Priest, Restoration Druid, and Mistweaver. One day I'll hit my healer arc and try all 7

[baseboned]

I agree with rsham pick. The holy words and CDs of holy are just bit more confusing sounding than resto shaman. Drop totem it does healing. Hit ascendance heal more. Drop Spirit link share health. The tooltips are just consistently shorter and simpler and more intuitive than holy

[redline]

Excellent overview! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

[zye]

Shaman is best beginner healer if you want to be a mediocre shaman. The difference between an okay shaman and a great shaman healer is how they use their utility. If you don't want to think about anything else other than healing pick Holy priest. If you wanna start off thinking about only healing but once you realize how easy that is you wanna up your APM, then pick shaman so you don't have to switch later.

[lfk]

as a veteran healer as well I'd add that new healers should focus on improve themselves instead of listening all the blaming and toxicity of m+ specially pugs (also considering that healers will have more impact than before because tanks and off-healing nerfs) and think of yourselves as the oil that lubricates the gear that is your party paying atention to your teammates and how they respond to incoming damage, of course that is something that comes with experiencie but is important to keep it in mind. Happy keying 💖
