How to Get Started in Mythics as a Healer

WELCOME MYTHIC 101: What to do for Shaman Restoration?

:grimacing: Welcome to introduction on how to get started with being Shaman healer. As I go along, please pay attention what you’ll need to do first & more. Otherwise, please follow the guide as refence, not actual way to play a character

HOW DO I EVEN GET INTO MYTHICS BEFORE STARTING? :hot_face:

First thing is comes last. If you are previously trying to even look to get into Mythic. Good chances are, you’ll need to do Heroic Dungeons first; level 120. Which is why likely you want good gear score. While following that, good talents could come into play.
However, the average gear you want to begin a Mythic+0 is around 415 item lvl. Usually as well, acquire Heart Of Azlorth lvl too.

WHEN I GET THERE. WHAT SORT TALENTS & ROTATION SHOULD I FOLLOW? :woozy_face:

Honestly. Talents usually follow myself are alone from Icy Veins; is a website. Now of course, may not be an accurate way to follow a rotation or playstyle. Though it does give an idea, of what you want to have Vs trying to figure out for yourself. Wouldn’t recommend straight away, start healing mythic+0.
Also, many of rotations I’m talking about are keyboard binds & macros. Which make it easier to cast spells or perform a role. I’ll tell you how to do that in next link below.

BOOK FOR DUMMIES ON HOW TO KEYBOARD BIND & MARCOS :drooling_face:

Key Bindings
Ok first off. We’re getting rid of the boxes. Kinda getting annoying typing out tight space. If you seriously been like me for three years & now just realized, there are keybinds. Then congratulations , I’m the dumb person you’ll meet in this game.

Regardless of the sitiuon. Key binds are basically keys on your keyboard, that you can put together on attacks & mounts. Where you’ll find this is, press ESC then go scroll with mouse to where it says “Keyboard Binds.”. There, go to either Multiple action bar or Action Bar.

You’ll find out this makes your life SO MUCH EASIER. Than having to click the top spells with your mouse.

Marcos
It’s the same way. Press ESC, but instead go to where it says Marcos. This is alittle bit different. Here you’ll be able to combind your spells together. Now, with marcos comes to alittle flaw.

Alone, these don’t ensure the best accurate talents or spells to act more quickly. Though, it will prevent you from having spam on every key as well. So kinda benefit to it.

How make Marco is. Go to where it say ‘New’. There you’ll name the agility of the marco & to put in talent/spells. Just go to your spell book, press SHIFT+ Left Mouse Key. And it will paste straight into Marco. Now once your finished making it. Press save, then it will be added in.

If you physically have trouble understanding what I’m talking. Go link below, so you get more visual of what I’m talking about.

SO WHERE DO I GET STARTED INTO MYTHIC VS WHAT I WANT TO START OFF? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
Alright. You got the gear score & talents. Now what about the Mythic? Simple, you queue for it! Same way as you find any group finder. Just Group Finder, then go Premades. Then selected a Mythic +0 dungeon. Simple right?

As I said before, be careful of certain groups mythics. Sometimes people will get little pissy in lvl 1 or 10 mythics. Difference between Mythic 0+ & 1 is that, one is timed. Otherwise, if you got friends to carry through those types. Then go for it!

Though, if you don’t have those sort of buddies. Then just continue to do Mythic 0 until you get enough gear to do higher onces.

Usually, if you do start doing mythic by yourself. I recommend not going healer just yet, until you get enough gear to heal a group.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO HEAL A GROUP? In timed Mythics? :face_with_head_bandage:
Okkiee… This can be annoying at most times. To know that, healing isn’t the everyday job of anybody. It takes patients & mastery to perform.

I won’t tell you how many times yell at somebody, just for dying of stuiped reasons. It isn’t really that much stress about. If somebody you know is purposely not dodging or avoiding damage.

Then say this, don’t heal them. Even in timed dungeon. Just because somebody is cherry picking you to heal more isn’t worth mana or frustration.

Focus always on the Tank. If group takes damage, heal them quickly. Return on Tank. As well, make sure focus on yourself before others. Just think, if you run out of mana. That is your fault, nobody elses.

If becomes mentally frusation to enter the higher mythics, chances are. You probley need more practice or the Healing isn’t for you. :nerd_face:

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT GUILDS ARE THE BEST WAY FOR MYTHICS? :roll_eyes:
No, no no!!! As of anything of had happen the past. Going to Mythic with any guild member on Discord or verbal chat is like… CANCER! It just GROWS!

It’s nothing but drama, because the people encharge of the guild want to make you the peasant to perform well & still have real life. Honestly for me, it’s just form of using & manipulation.

Otherwise, be my guest having to be REQUIRED to go Mythic the rest of your life. Oh right, you signed up for this…

:expressionless: For me, if it was just a game. People won’t spend so much time making their lives & arguing over a Discord chat.

Just stick with Battle Tag friends, there WAY better! At least they don’t complain like some of those people in higher positions.

Yea, people would disagree with me. Though learned over time, it just creates a stress of people wanting to use for achievements/mounts

WHAT IS MOTTO WITH HEALING? :no_mouth:
There ain’t no such thing as an excuse. First off, always know what your doing before you go into Mythic +1 or higher. Otherwise, you are set-up for failure.

Failure alone does not mean you suck/ can’t do it. It’s just learning tool, because nothing ever runs correctly anyway. If you make mistakes BIG DEAL! Just figure out way to make it work.

Also, there is NO such thing as the best healer. Because, honestly. Every healer has flaw to each class or spec. So don’t worry about it.

  1. Focus on You
  2. Focus On Tank
  3. Focus on Group.
  4. Focus on Surroundings

WHAT ARE TWO MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN A MYTHIC? :face_with_head_bandage:
Tank & Healer. TA-DA! I just told you the answer!

Telling you right now. It ain’t easy to find Tank or healer. Main thing to remember about yourself the Healer is. Make sure the tank isn’t pulling more you can’t handle. Otherwise, good luck. The more one pulls or does a lot of health. The harder it will be to heal.

Also, remember that the entire group is important too. Just in respect, if you don’t have an alive group. Well, try to answer that one yourself.

**IS THERE ANYWAY TO SUCESSFULLY NOT LET ANYBODY DIE? :no_mouth: **
Yes. The only real good way not for anybody to die is. If everyone knows what they are doing. Others wise. It will be difficult for anybody to know what they are doing. I highly recommend for you to read about the them, with each Mythic before attempting.

OH THE TIMER IS GOING! JESUS HURRY UP! :rage: Mythic 1 to 10.

Ok. Let me put this straight to you. Annoying as it may seem to finish the Mythic in time. IT"S NO BIG DEAL! Because even if you don’t finish, you still get the reward at the end. So don’t leave the Mythic plus, otherwise you waste your time

The only thing you won’t get is upgraded Keystone; which basically is more difficult Mythic Dungeon. In words of healing, don’t be so unhappy with it. Because in some cases, just be glad you got into it.

The only way to complete any higher Mythic is by Teamwork & Accuracy. The accuracy is among you, to target the team & heal them. Overall, just

HEY! HEY! SO WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS FOR HEALING? :weary:
To be fair of how I think of a class. I think as of something that is quick & easy to put talents together, as well to Marcos or keybinds.

Honestly, it is the matter of an option. Due to some classes heal better: Druid, Shaman, Holy Paladin, Priest Disc or Discipline, Monk Mistweaver etc. I only play as a Restoration Shaman. That is basically the only kinda healing I understand.

Plenty of people would go with the Druid, because seems to be good PvP or any sort of situation. However, see myself as Shaman. Because I only do Mythics.

PvP healing as Shaman to me is difficult Vs, having to play Druid or another class.

LISA WILL YOU SHUT THE F UP :triumph:
Alright. You have me. I’m the worst Healer in the world. I don’t know what to do. You TOTALLY have better experience than me.

This was totally a waste of time writing anyway. Go ahead, post in the forums. Hate comments about how long it to for you to HATE on the forum.

LOOK AT ME Mr or Miss Uno. This is basic point of view, of how to get started on Healing. Didn’t write this for laugh stalk party! “Quite the show. HA HA, she is a Mythic 3 or 6 gear. She is waste of our time!”

To tell you the truth. :unamused: Nobody any Mythic plus or above knows the gear score for any Mythics. They tend to ASSUME, the gear is 456.

This is actually what Mythic gear scores should be, in recommended 0 or plus.

Mythic Zero is 420 item level requirement
Mythic 1 is 430 item level requirement
Mythic 2 is 435 item level requirement

In general, the gear score is five above each Mythic plus. So, if somebody isn’t letting you into a Mythic. Chances are, that is favoritism above your gear score. Best advise is, just keep looking or do World Quest. Sometimes if you just do simple quest, you can get loot.

THE MOST ANNOYING PEOPLE IN A MYTHIC! :skull_and_crossbones:
Oh lord. We are about to uncover the real DRAMA, about a Mythic. Let me give you some advise, kick these people out. Before you START ANY Mythic, beware of the following

High Geared Tank Troll
Pulling Hunter without Taunt off
The High Geared bragger
Bad Healer
DPS AFK
’ The I don’t know what I’m doing person.’
A person yelling on Voice Chat
The DPS Meter Troll

OK YOU GET THE POINT! Any interruptions to complete the Mythic in TIME! Is not a room to bad attuites. Want my advise, get rid of them.

THE MYTHICS AREN"T MY THING… :cold_sweat:
The point is. Mythics are hard in general to accomplish. Sure, it’s easy to do with group of indivsuals. Though sometimes, it is literally the stress that comes with it. Then to me, it’s not big deal.

Like, as a Healer. I like to be willing to do what I like. That is what the game is about. To injoy what you have, while with others.

THAT IS ALL FOLKS! :upside_down_face:

Hopefully I tried to help you out with your ‘little’ Mythic problem. And if you honestly have more questions reguarding Talents or anything. I would go to Icy Viens. Just some more understanding, of what you want to do.

TLDR

Just heal when you get better gear and when DPS don’t stand in stuff DPS a little…

Better advice, start when the season starts or be ready to be left behind

Good post, thank you for putting in effort.

However I think you left out the 1 tip: don’t bother at the moment, BFA‘s endgame is a dumpster fire, make the healer you’ll want to play in Shadowlands right now and spend the time figuring out your build and collecting pretty princess transmogs instead. :stuck_out_tongue:
