So as a newbie to healing whats the best way to go about it? I have healbot and I used that for the first dungeon, but I was so focused on the health bars that I don’t feel I did that well. Any suggestions?

I personally recommend Vuhdo, it tells you when to remove a curse on someone and it’s much easier to use in my opinion. Also as a healer, it’s always good to pay attention to mechanics especially any mechanics that might cause massive amounts of damage.,

As the other dude said vuhdoo is way better. Mostly just keep your hots on everyone and dps, refresh hots when needed. Flourish, tranq and convoke for big bursts of dmg. Just remember not everyone needs to be at 100% all the time. They at 50 throw a hot or 2 on and they will be fine.

Well playig Resto druid is diff than other healer. You have to think ahead. Your job is to reduce dmg with your Hot rather than doing big heal to full a player like a Priest

Sounds great, until there is a Grievous week.
Same princible applies. Your hots out heal the dmg they cause.

I would use these in unison.
Vuhdo
Publik’s Restoration Druid WA---- organize the abilities/passive to track with it
Restodruid High Priority abilities WA(weak Aura)— to keep an active reminder, including efflo for more active up time.
Protector of the Pack WA (Weak Aura)---- maximize moon fire dmg.
Macro your nature’s vigil and Fluorish together.
You should be watching for your:
Reforestation Stacks
Adaptive Swarm
Fluorish prcs from Convoke (4seconds)
Clear Casting (regrowths)
Rejuvenations (if using abundance talent)
Life bloom (refreshing at 3-5 seconds) for pandemic window.
Uptime on Efflorescence.
Cenarion Ward (if talented) and if swiftmend can keep it going.
Edit: also Soul of the Forest for Wild Growth casts (after swiftmend use)

I mean at face value you’re not wrong, but optimally we would probably be better saying what to watch out for and how to maximize healing rather than stating to use abilities without being buffed first.
I.e If reforestation (in raid, some use it in M+) you want to convoke during your 3rd swiftmend proccing Tree form.
5 Rejuvs/1 wild growth active for mastery: harmony buff.
Swiftmend—> Soul of forest buff—> wild growth buff
Then optimally using fluorish when all these buffs are active.
Using swiftmend to keep cenarion ward active is also a big one.
Using pandemic window for lifebloom is significant without losing final bloom at 5 seconds.
Keeping 5 stacks of adaptive swarm is significant as well.
Tranquility you just want the 5 rejuvs+wild growth + other buffs like cultivation or spring blossoms to increase mastery value.
While yes those are strong, by themselves they’re not useful if you don’t have your ramp up squared away to maximize through put.

You are 100% right but the dude is new and I didn’t wanna overwhelm him.

Fair enough. But I’d rather tell them how to play it correctly, and have something to reference back to for insight. Its probably the shortest L2P guide yet without hours of videos lol.
