Strangely enough I wasn’t vibing with Disc at all because its damage output doesn’t feel frontloaded if that makes sense. Penance is a channel, Mind Blast CD is too long for my taste, and PtW(Assuming you’re using that) doesn’t hit as hard as Holy Fire despite sharing the same visuals. Same with Chastise, it’s just really satisfying to use.
Guess I just enjoy Holy’s offensive kit over Disc’s which is weird lol. On the otherhand, I really love Fistweaving on my Monk. There’s a serious dopamine hit when the group is midway with health and I sip Thunder Focus Tea and Jade Crackling Lightning a group of enemies to get them back to full health.

Yes, people that can spell must live in basements lmao.
Healing is dope in this game, just gotta find what works. Class can matter in terms of play styles. Look into the Clique addon and/or mouse over macros (mostly copy paste, easy to set up). These helped me a lot, made healing feel more fluid.
Healing is totally fine and reasonable while leveling, in queued content, and in Raids.
Mythic+ is where it’s dumb. People overpull and then miss interrupts and now it’s the healer’s fault they died. That and so much damage is tuned to effectively 1 shot if you fail the mechanic but if they have enough health to live now it’s the healer’s job to get them from 12 hp to a safe amount before literally anything else happens and it’s often just not reasonable.
Maybe the group is aware when they screw up and aren’t blaming the healer. Maybe they think the healer should just deal with it and they are. Goes either way sometimes.
At the end of the day, the mechanics of healing, while a bit tunnel vision-centric with the raid frames, are not that hard to get a grasp on. But the nature of M+ and infinite scaling makes it way more stressful than fun to heal, IMO. I used to be a healer main, but it was in the raid or die era. M+ Healing sucks above low keys and low keys aren’t worth much especially with delves existing right now. Raid Healing is still fun, but you’re expected to push M+ to gear for raid these days.

No ppl with enough time to worry about grammar (i dont think i had a spelling error) do.
But given your passion for that level of detail in posts you wouldnt confuse grammar and spelling would you?
Run along now child.
I’d say there’s also healer Macro’s out there to help heal targets better while also being able to focus some damage on a mob, it does simplify the role a bit, but it’s still requires knowledge, positioning, and keeping up with the tank.
Sometimes it’s better to be a priest, cause of Leap of Faith or the Noob Leash as they’ll call it now since it use to be called something different back around cataclysm to pretty much keep the tank from overpulling. overpulling = deaths = losing more time.
Pulling smart is and always has been the key, as long as you pull fast enough. by the time mobs are about to die.
I love healing however it requires significant UI changes, macros, mouseovers, weakauras, LoS indicators and such that it’s the difference between playing a game of Counterstrike DPS versus Attack Flight Simulators with a 600 page book per airplane…in this case type of healer like Shaman or Disc not to mention track IR.
It demands something like Eluvi or healbot
DPS really is ultra easy. Healers have to do everything.
It’s like speed chess. Heal this person? Let that DPS die. Protect the King…tank. Predict big health losses. Know where to stand unlike DPS that sit in bad

Like to addendum.
I grew frustrated with addons not being updated and running out of date stuff. And they’re super essential.
Imagine your steering wheel being out of date for your car. It felt like that all the time.
I can get away with DPS and no addons.
I highly suggest setting up mouseover macros for your healing spells. You can google them and paste them in.
Keybind your healing spells to your common action bar buttons you are usually using when dps, that way the muscle memory will be quicker to pick up pressing them. Aside from that it’s practice and repetition until you get use to it. Press your healing spells to top ppl up and use your group healing CDs as you feel needed.
Speaking of passion, this is day 3 of your worthless attempts to explain why you don’t know the difference between ‘then’ and ‘than’ by deflecting. This is 3rd grade level English here man.
Maybe you need a more fulfilling life?
It’s one of the harder seasons to heal but I’d much rather have a challenging healing situation than spot heals and dps as much as possible.
Step one make mouse over macros.
Step two heal the tank and yourself.
Step three heal dps if tank and yourself doesnt need heals.
Step four blame dps for any deaths.
gotta keep everyone alive and dps and do mechanics. no thanks ill keep zug zug ing on me 4iq orc boi
What is so difficult about clicking on a grid of squares?
I mean you can read into what i do for entertainment when taking a dump any way you want. Youre replying just as much lmfao.
And mate i dont think ive tried explaining anything about writing your vs youre. Cause who the f cares? I just called you a troll and pointed out you dont know the difference between spelling and grammar and probably are a basement dweller for your approach to forum replies. Apparently reading comprehension is beyond you as well.
Frankly i was in topic in this thread initially. Youre the one bringing useless schlock up across initial and subsequent replies. Which is proving my point in spades.
But keep replying please this is frankly hilarious to me.
You are simply embarrassed because you can’t write. Don’t bother raging at me, contact your elementary school teachers and rage at them.
And this wasn’t off topic until you couldn’t handle moving on after being called on something that you cannot do properly.
You made a claim and I retorted that people screw up the easiest things in the world and used your illiteracy as an example.

This is a rather vague statement and makes it seem like you only watched videos instead of trying to heal.
So getting this out of the way - videos can help give pointers, but they usually don’t equip you to fully deal with the actual experience. Just like a boss fight video - sometimes it doesn’t make sense until you’re trying to apply a concept yourself.
Healing means viewing the game through a different lens under different metrics - this doesn’t necessarily make it more complicated. As someone who doesn’t use addons other than Recount, I can say the experience of healing can vary quite a bit depending on the class, and sometimes depending on the talent choices you make within a specific spec. What class and spec were you looking at? I’ve played priest, druid and shaman since Classic, monk and evoker since their release, and can make them work, but other than a brief time frame during Warlords, I never meshed with paladin healing. But I know players who love pally healing and detest monk healing. You’ve gotta be willing to experiment a bit and find what works for you.
