Preservation tips

So i’m starting to play healer again to kill time, and my healer of choice is preservation evoker. Most fun to me.

But since TWW dropped, my healing feels so unbelievably underwhelming.
When it dropped, and I started leveling, my heals would go off for anywhere between 1m-2.5m (with the extremely rare 5m crits.

But after getting it to 80, my heals are lucky to even see a 7th digit. My average heal seems to go off for 750k AT MOST.
I’m playing no different to when I was playing it during DF.

Is there any tips on playing pres? I’m hoping to throw her into some keys if I can get some actual decent healing going.

Check out this YouTube channel [Bowser the healer]. He has really good guides on preservation. Hell his videos helped me when I first started healing evoker.

Not sure if you mean for PvE or PvP, but I feel this video probably translates to both some:

Biggest thing for me was making use of Echo, Reversion, and Golden Hour.

For your sanity, don’t play in a group with more than one ranged dps. Can do two when you’re comfortable with the spec and three if you ever feel like hating yourself.

Also avoid hunters, they like to max range everything, including you :woozy_face:

Serious hunters and lock mains. Its like they’re playing from the other room

I had a mage today that stood near melee range almost the whole time and it was AMAZING. Thanked him profusely afterwards.

Hey now, I rese…mble that remark.

I feel like Locks at least have half an excuse. They have such low mobility I usually feel like I’m straggling when I’m running a dungeon on a Lock. It’s not so bad on boss fights, but for trash it’s really easy to always be playing catchup if you aren’t proactive. This goes for casters in general, but I feel it the most when I’m on my Warlock.
