Nice condescending response. I don’t care at all about parses. A HoT on anything besides a warlock I completely ignore. There is not a single fight in the game where mana is an issue. If I can top that person up and make sure they don’t die to random damage before a HoT can top them off, I will do it every time. I am sure those people appreciate it more than waiting for your crappy HoT to tick them full.

Looking at your old logs it looks like yall are running 14 healers on some fights. That’s probably overkill but its definitely going to make every healer parse low.
Mostly at this point theres just not much healing required outside of Vael and Firemaw. But also stuff like group comp which may be out of your control can affect your overall healing dramatically. Being in a melee group will almost always increase your overall healing since they tend to take consistent, regular damage that is perfect for POH, by far the highest hps spell in classic. Trying standing with the melee on Shazzrah and spamming it sometime for the luls.
On fights with little or no raid damage, nonstop spamming rank 1 flash heal on the tank is usually sustainable for the entire fight and will be better than trying to heal reactively. Also make sure you target the bosses so you can see its cast timer which will let you precast a heal to land immediately after a breath.
A lot of that is still just gonna be padding more than a real benefit at this stage (especially with 14 healers…) but 
. In general your parses look fine and it sounds like you know the mechanics so I wouldn’t worry them too awfully much. If they kick you that’s their loss.

This is Classic we are talking about. Did X boss die? If yes likely your group performed well. Did you perform the task you were given? If yes then you did fine. People are looking at Classic like it is Retail… the two can not be compared. If you do what you are asked and your group kills the boss, how much or little you healed means little.

Dungeon healing is fun, but you couldn’t pay me enough to heal in most raiding guilds. Too many players juicing the meters, sniping & doing other hyper-competitive bullshat to even bother trying to use “teamwork” & good game-play practices. Toxic environment galore.

So waiting 3-5 seconds to get a 350 tick, vs a 1.5 second cast for a 50% overheal? Seems like a waste to me if the target its at 90% HP or above. If they are below 75%, sure direct heal them. I think our definitions of “Top off” are different.
Sounds about like my current to be recently former guild. Truth is they have about the same number of embarrassing wipes as anyone else.
LF raiders to round out or team. Full world buffs and flasks are required. We will be looking at logs.
Ok there bud, good luck with your 4 healers that only parse 90+ because they spam heal pets and warlocks.
Your last raid the top healer almost tippled your healing done.
Your reaction time is extremely slow / or your pc is slow and your heals are getting batched which is why you have the highest overhealing % of any of the healers but a similar amount of casts.
it’s probably not my PC or is it? I have pretty good latency and a decent graphics card. But the processor is an original Core I7 circa 2012 … does that affect performance?
… alsoI don’t get what you mean about reaction time. How is that even visible?
They’re saying your slow to react when its time to heal.
You also have too many healers now that I look at the logs. The amount of healing required is spread out over the whole raid. There is only so much “effective” healing that can be done. And the more healers you have, the less there is to go around, because the damage taken is divided more, and there is also less damage taken because there are less players(DPS) in harms way.
That cpu is fine, its the games batching that is your enemy. You can get a heal off while a tank is at half health, but if someone else’s heal got there before you, theirs will batch first and you will over heal. You are also stacking paladins, which have short cast times relative to the mana efficient heals available to a priest.
Do you have someone doing healing assignments? Are the other healers following them, are you following them?
There is an addon you can download called “showmyheal” and it will give you scrolling text of your effective healing and overhealing. You can use this to help adjust your timing if you are constantly overhealing. You should also try and bubble the tank right before a shadowflame, or precast a greater heal about 2 seconds before one goes off, so it lands right after.

Atiesh healer here too. My guild is semi-casual and we’re still clearing content.

A lot of it is about timing, Make sure you heal lands as soon as the damage goes out, get you shield in before burst happens, you can’t lose. That will be important whether you stay or go.

the healing meta for MC and BWL with 1.12 itemization and talents has always been a joke, nothing more. you are basically playing whack a mole with your raid frames
it gets significantly better at times in AQ40 (trash, twin emps mostly) and Naxx (basically every boss is too long for priests to spam flash7 non-stop). Parses will mean a lot more then. Right now they are a joke. The first step to critically analyzing a singular boss parse is to have the healing assignments lined up next to the parse. You cannot just look at a parse randomly and ascertain anything of value from it.

Your guild is stupid. Move on.
The best guilds aren’t going to judge their healers based on parse rankings.

I mean if you’re playing whack a mole right now, you’re doing it wrong. Damage is predictable. You can time your heals perfectly before you see any health lost.

only on shadow flame fights and that’s not my job since i’m - usually - not tank healing. there will be 2-3 other people trying to snipe the SF besides me. if i’m assigned to a tank sure i’ll pay attention to the timer and snipe, but if i’m raid healing just why…
damage is “predictable” on a few fights but there is always a RNG element present. couple weeks ago we had a broodlord with no blast waves. just one example of what can happen with fast kill speeds

I have NEVER downranked my spell and always did fine!!
What he said.
And just throw a renew on everyone that takes damage if you want to top meters.
