I was just wondering if there was an addon out there that would give you a number on HPS or HPM numbers for each rank of a heal. Sometimes I try to downrank a lot of heals in dungeons just to make sure the tank doesn’t die but I’m always curious to have would be the best possible solution. At 60 this won’t be much of an issue as I won’t be getting any new ranks so with nothing changing I can figure it out, but while leveling it can be sort of frustrating.
try Healcomm
Doesn’t downranking only help once you have proper +Healing on gear?
For example, my heals right now at a max rank are
Healing Wave (Rank 7) - 340 Mana / 816.5 Average – 2.4 HPM
VS
Healing Wave (Rank 6) - 265 Mana / 595.5 Average – 2.24 HPM
I’m up to +60 Healing and still use the max rank, but only when I know it will fully heal the target. My highest heal can normally heal a tank from 50% to almost full, allowing me a lot of time to get the MP5 ticks.
Only downranks I use right now are Healing Wave on targets who are naturally lowered HP (mages or priests), since I don’t like letting them fall too low, as that’s kinda over kill.
That’s why I would like an addon to tell me these things, I have around the same +healing on myself and I just wanted to know if it was worth using one specific rank over another because of how many numbers are involved. Generally I like to use max rank heal as well, but that thing can heal like 60% of someones health so it can get tricky finding that sweet spot of when to start the heal without the tank dying.
Especially with a lot of people thinking they can tank with a 2 hander this can get really risky sometimes just using max rank heal as you don’t know if this guy is going to go from 40% to 5% in a second or not.
Oh man, you speak the truth. Nothing feels worse than a 2h tank that is level appropriate (instead of being slightly over leveled) going from 100% to 50% in less than 6 seconds, then when you get the heal off, they go right back and you’re sitting there like “I’m so sorry mana pool”

Yeah which is why I would like to look at some downranking spells I can keep primed for when they make like a 2-3 pull and are sitting at 90% health or so.
I don’t like to just have a greater heal casted as it could go a couple ways… He dips like 5% and I get the heal off and waste all my mana on a 15% heal, I cancel it and waste that mp5 time, I wait until he gets to 50% and start casting the heal and luckily get the full benifit, or he just dies and I get flamed…
Yes. Until then, Lesser Heal, Heal, and Greater Heal are your ranks.
Flash Heal is a bit different.
Don’t forget as well, 5 Second Rule isn’t triggered if you’re precasting then cancelling. It’s only triggered if you SPEND mana, not start to cast a spell.
Let the big heal go, then precast another big heal, if it’s going to overheal, move and cancel, start another precast. You’ll never exit 5 second rule by doing this after the initial 5 seconds from the first heal.
