Is MW a good beginner healer for keys? Just wanna get my
Mech suit, looking for a new experience
can’t do PvP anymore would rather walk into traffic.
Hey fam. Swapping to a new flavor of content will be the biggest hurdle, not the class itself. You’ll need to adjust your build to favor healing a 5 person team. You’ll want to focus on kicking dangerous casts (as often as possible, 3 interrupts a minute), using leg sweep and ring of peace as tactfully as possible, and use paralyze with the soothe talent taken on the specific mobs that enrage. As far as healing goes, you’ll need to prepare for the damage profile - a lot of things are choreographed. Once you learn the dungeon you should know what kind of damage is coming out when, and plan CDs and casts accordingly.
Lastly, you just need to learn boss mechanics. Picking up 2 orbs on the rocky boy in stone vault gives you +100% healing done for the healer check. You have to dispell the tank first boss in stone vault - but only exactly 6 seconds before they take their tank buster (yeah, so now you gotta know what spell is the tank buster and watch for the cast). Last boss of siege you gotta dispell one person with the DoT and spot heal the other, second boss of siege you gotta prep for the richochet… And more! You’ve got homework to learn all the heal checks.
Also playing low keys is hard, because you’re playing with other beginners. It’s gonna feel very punishing, but you’ll find once you learn all the damage profiles and mechanics, +10s will be easier than +5s because you’ll have more experienced teammates.
Good luck on your journey

Hey that is super helpful. Do you have tips for all the other dungeons and bosses?
I find healing on my MW is easier than healing on my Paladin right now. It can be stressful but can also be rewarding in itself. It’s also a role that is easier to get into groups with.
Agreed MW is in a great place right now and should be left alone.
