Re: [WotLK] Resto Shaman Healing guide

That's a pretty large CH w/o a crit, assuming he had a trinket going and the CH consumed a riptide.

To be noted, I'm also working on an ele guide, if there's interest i'll post it also. Its a bit more in dept, it includes links to wmo and wws to show various comparisons of my various runs and tests on different encounters.

i wouldnt want to do the DW spec i dont think, i use riptide, es, and take advantage of tidal waves way too often to just mindelessly spam CH. you may gain a whopping 250 SP( 63 sp chant, and 185 from earthliving), vs losing 8k armor, other stats such as int and haste/crit would be nullified by a good shield in place of a OH. not worth the survivability hit.

i would LOVE to have the threat talents on fights like sarth + 3, but shamans just cant afford to give up any more output for it.

I also dont like not taking 3/3 healing way. Unless its patchwerk, the chances you are spamming HW are slim to none. And also with 3/3, you can keep the buff up on multiple people at the same time, and not have to hope that you get that 33% proc chance.

Also may want to suggest glyph of healing wave, its very nice to heal yourself for 20% when you and your tank are low, but you know you have to heal him or he dies(another sarth/3 reference lol)

3/3 healing way is a waste imo, though I let our resto shams do whatever they want past the listed required talents. And if you're not spamming HWs on the target, why does having healing way on them even matter?

Actually, you get ~260 healing from the extra talented earthliving alone, and another 63 spl power on top of that, so its ~320 extra healing power, and glyphed, you have a ~43% chance to put the earthliving hot on your targets with the extra ELW.

None of our resto shams have tried it yet, but yea.

Glyhp of healing wave accounted for 0.7% of my total healing when I tried it, and I found it to be completely useless. I found the ELW glyph to be the best, as I would usually be on raid healing, and ELW made up 8% of my healing. For sarth+3 if i needed the a heal i would jsut riptide myself and throw the hasted lhw at the tank, then continue my usual hw spam.

Anyways, I prefer ele much more, and recently made the Top Ten Dps sham in the world for the Gothik the Harvester, and #7 in the US... for that one fight that is. So its a small victory lol.

no its not 260 + healing. earth living is 150 base, 195 talented. at least read the tooltips before you tell me im wrong
www.wowhead.com/?spell=51994

and like i said before my shield negates the extra 63 sp you would get for the enchant, so you would end up with 195 + healing at the expense of 7800 armor.

just because you arent spamming a tank with HW, dosent mean you arent gonna cast another HW on them in the next 15 sec.

I usually heal the drake tanks for sarth +3, and end up spot healing the add tanks, so i usually keep Healing way up on 2-3 targets at the same time.
