What questions do you still have as a new healer, or what advice would you give to one?

I only play tank and healer, and my number 1 tip for keeping spirits high is after a wipe or partial wipe I just say, "damn my bad." Out of the thousands of keys I've ran I've only been raged at like 2 times. Doesn't matter if it was my fault or not. I always apologize and a lot of times someone else will chime in and say, "no I should have done X" and then we just move on. Def worth a shot

Been healing for 15+ years, back in Vanilla, and still enjoy watching video guides on how to heal better. This might be one of the best and yet most simple guides I've ever seen. Great job!

i am by no means an m+ player, but i just started playing and was drawn to the healer role without knowing how much pressure I'd feel lol
i really appreciate this!

Mindset is absolutely number one!! Being able to identify where you messed up and thinking critically about what could have been done to correct it is really such a valuable skill. And the tip about recording and rewatching video of your own gameplay is something that helped me out SO much.

Bro, this mindset stuff is so true. I was never the "not my fault" guy, but I would, very oftenly, be very frustrated with DPS (hunters, specifically) f*ing up mechanics and complaining about heals, to the point that I would completely shut the game for a whole month, but when I started focusing in doing my best and understood that, sometimes, only jesus/ganesha/ra/[insert your god here] would've been able to save them, it became so much easier. I started feeling my progress, and I started realy having fun (I know) with the game. It literally cleansed my eyes from that "tunnel vision", it was almost like I could see everything in slow motion.

The learn in layers and keybinds sections are so incredibly helpful. Great video. Thank you.

Regarding the mindset, although I don't main a healing role, what helped me a lot to get the grasp of the situations was details or similar addons showing death logs. They list dmg taken by sources, healing taken, when each instance occurred and most importantly what was the thing that killed your target (or almost killed them). It helps to know whether something was avoidable by your teammate, preventable by you (leap of faith/BoP, etc) or something else (like unavoidable dmg after a failed dps check/ boss enrage, etc).

And ofc, the data is there so no one can doubt you 😜

I appreciate your nice and calm voice. Combined with the background music there were a couple of moments where I was half expecting you to recommend me to wear sunscreen. :)

Thanks for this. I’m a returning healer (hard core raider in OG Wrath) and I tend to think of my cooldowns as emergency buttons. New mindset to frame them as resources to use.

[EviLxFifi]

Fantastic guide! Will be keeping an eye out for more of those.

[Sidraughen]

Mindset is indeed the most important thing. I don't even care if someone gets 1 or 2 shot. It was their own fault.
Knowing what are dangerous pulls second, pre-hotting and having CDs for those and telling people to use their personals on those.
Third I'd say is drink whenever you can and have time to do so. Even couple seconds of drink can be the difference between life and wipe. That's why I I like to heal ahead of the group when possible so I can keep drinking as long as possible.

This is genuinely some good tips, especially the tips about mouse over and keybinds.

[charliem]

Great content! Lets help this man get bigger on youtube!

[brettaden]

Great video. I wish someone had told me this when I started healing.

[nogylopp]

FIRST GOT EM

Keybinds and UI are great tips, having those optimized is a game changer. As was going to an MMO mouse. Great video as always dude. Can't wait to see your main.

[fredrikaxelson]

This made me so excited to main my evoker, great tips!

[VGDoctor]

Great video, specially modified keybinds for druid, loved that

[Nana-hhqh]

I am the one "everything is my fault"... and I am too scared to join m+ grps... even with my own key...
