Text of the page (random words):
s not used all that often but when i do use it it can be a lifesaver did your tank just die on a stupid trash pull and you just need to deflect aggro for 5 seconds perfect time for earth elemental did your main tank bite the dust while the boss is at 1 can t hurt to throw out your earth elemental and see if he can take a shot or two that otherwise would have killed a dps allowing you to maybe down the boss and avoid an aggravating wipe while leveling he s a great help for difficult elite or group quests water your water totem will almost always be useful and you ll need to decide which totem is going to work best for each heroic raid group or even raid encounter in a heroic i m usually using healing stream for a nice passive healing bonus i generally only switch this up when the instance has a lot of poison or disease debuffs when i will drop cleansing totem to save the hassle of doing it manually keep in mind that it will not remove curses so you ll have to do that with cleanse spirit i don t often use mana spring in heroics because mana is just not an issue anymore this totem sometimes causes confusion in raids i ve heard lazy pallies say we don t need to buff wisdom we have a shaman unfortunately it s not that simple mana spring will provide the same mp5 as a holy paladin s blessing of wisdom assuming they have it talented which they may not have done you will already have your totem talented because you took restorative totems to get mana tide here s the rule if you are a resto shaman and there are no paladins with improved blessing of wisdom then you should probably drop mana spring if there is a paladin with the improved blessing you should probably drop healing stream instead especially if glyphed your healing stream is doing some significant healing and the paladin can provide the same mp5 buff as you of course things can get more complicated depending on how many paladins you have in the group paladins exist to make simple seeming buffs complicated to apply so don t just drop mana spring because some pug raid leader said you should make sure it s the best use of your water totem slot mana tide is a great party only mana restoration tool it will only last for 12 seconds and has a 5 minute cooldown but will restore a nice chunk of mana while it s out fixed thanks reyneyn when mana is an issue make sure to drop it early in the fight at around 75 80 mana and then again when the cooldown is up i like to use a simple macro to alert my party members that mana tide is up so they can stay in range of the totem showtooltip mana tide totem p wugan is casting mana tide s wugan is casting mana tide cast mana tide totem fire resistance totem is nice to have if you can t cover the buff somewhere else but since we have many other good water options i d let someone else volunteer to cover this buff if possible air 90 of the time this will be wrath of air the haste buff is great for us and for the rest of your party or raid if you don t have an enhancement shaman in your raid group and another shaman can cover wraith of air then you should drop windfury totem for the melee make sure to get close enough to the boss when you drop your totems that the melee are actually getting the benefit nature resist totem is situationally useful and if you don t have a hunter that can provide the buff through aspect of the wild then you may need to draw straws with the other shamans and see who will cover this one grounding totem is a great pvp totem and has some pve uses but i can t remember that last time i ve dropped it in a raid please tell my why i suck in the comments and the best for last sentry totem summarized best by matthew rossi level 34 brings the awesome senses shattering might of sentry totem do not look directly at the sentry totem it can see into your very soul you may very well drop this totem in a warsong gulch sometime it s just that powerful seriously half the reason raids take shamans at all is that they covet the titanic power of sentry totem don t listen to their pleas only drop this totem as a last resort as it may well make warlocks and mages obsolete by the sheer fury and majesty of its planet splintering power quake mortals and feel the iron grasp of despair upon you for sentry totem may be unleashed by a shaman at any time i will be able to watch from some distance away as you one shot my totem raid vs party only finally a quick note on raid vs party only totems this seemed to be a bit more confusing back in naxx and most raid leaders have figured this out by now but just in case here are the totems that only benefit the shaman s current raid group tremor totem mana tide the 5 minute cooldown resto talent not mana spring healing stream cleansing totem grounding totem now that you ve read all that go check out blueberry totem s nearly identical guide that i only discovered after i had written almost all of this post oh well great minds think alike 2 comments from uncategorized resto shaman healing on professor putricide february 22 2010 tags icc raid advice shaman healing this fight gave us fits on 25 man for weeks and i was starting to hate this guy this is what happens when you give a grumpy professor tenure they just give up mentally and decide to make life difficult for their students by throwing goo at them then last week we went in on wednesday and one shot him and proceeded to down dreamwalker for the first time as well all the wipes from the previous weeks had clearly driven some lessons into our brains if your guild is still having trouble with this fight here s some advice from a healing perspective for a general guide check out the strategy at bosskillers matt low also has some healing thoughts here which you should check out as well first your number one job is to avoid the malleable goo putricide will cast this about every 25 seconds on 25 man i believe he launches two of these bouncing balls of goo at the raid he will target them at a player at range and you need to avoid being hit by the ball or its splash damage 5 yards it does a ton of damage on a direct hit and the splash damage will increase your casting speed by 200 for 20 seconds which sort of counteracts all that lovely haste you ve been stacking malleable goo was responsible for most of our wipes once we had the basics down so how do you avoid this first practice second pay attention to your bossmod dbm will call out if you are targeted dxe will go a step further and provide a nice little arrow telling you where to run to get out of the way third adjust your camera angle in most fights i prefer a pretty high angle zoomed out to see as much of the room as possible in this fight i zoom in about halfway and get my camera angle much closer to the ground i e closer to first person view try to keep your eyes on the professor because you ll be able to see the goo leave his hand and will quickly be able to navigate to a safe location some people advocate standing in the melee to avoid this ability since they will not be targeted i think this is a bit of a cop out and is just asking the rest of your raid to do your job for you if you are in the melee that s one less person to be targeted at range meaning those out there will be targeted more often if it s dps that could slow down your kill and if it s healers it will hurt their throughput so just suck it up and learn to dodge the balls flying at your face if you re really having trouble have your raid leader chuck some wrenches at you to get you motivated the damage in this fight can be a bit spikey and is not always on the tanks of course your tanks will need constant attention during the first two phases when the orange gas clouds target a player they get a damaging debuff and will need some healing while they kite it around riptide and some lesser healing waves work great here when the green volatile ooze targets a player get ready to chain heal around them because when it hits it will do a knock back and damage everyone in range this works especially when a melee member gets targeting so i m pretty much always casting a chain heal on the melee when it s out just in case oh by the way it s pronounced mey lay yeah i know it looks like me lee but that s just wrong when i hear you pronounce it that way on vent a little part of me dies inside mostly the nerdy part but still stop it we found proper positioning to be very helpful here we had ranged and most of the healers stack up near the tables in the back of the room if a green volatile ooze targets one of the ranged players they will need to stack up on that person to help spread the damage and keep them alive try to be at max range from your tank when this ability is casting this will make sure the green goo takes longer to reach you giving the dps more time to kill it and your raid members more time to stack on you once you get to phase 3 you re in a dps race to get the boss down before his stacking aoe damage wipes the raid and you run out of room on the floor due to all the slime puddles that your off tank can no longer remove you ll want to bloodlust right at the start of this phase although it s a dps race the more healing you can throw out the longer your raid will last positioning is key the tanks will be constantly moving the professor around to keep out of the slime puddles and the choking gas bombs they will also be taking greatly increased damage and will be on a short taunt rotation your tank healers will be going all out here and even if you re on the raid you ll want to help them out as much as possible try to keep earth shield on the current tank if you re the only resto shaman early in the phase i like to set up near the middle of the room where i can hopefully stand still for a bit and pump out a bunch of healing as slime puddles begin to spawn this will become harder to do and you ll have to start moving to the outside of the room trying to stay ahead of where the tanks are kiting if you need to you can stay with the tanks and melee in this phase but i ve found that the constant movement makes it tough to put out much raid healing this probably works well if you re a resto druid cheaters for the rest of us try to find a safe spot heal like crazy and then move quickly to another safe spot as needed there s a little bit of rng involved with the slime pool placement and your raid needs to stay calm and put out as much damage as they can before the raid damage gets too high i think we had 4 people alive at the end of our kill so it doesn t have to be pretty the first time and this fight should get a little easier each week as your raid gears up 44 comments from uncategorized resto shaman glyphs february 19 2010 tags healing resto shaman glyphs lodur s inaugural post over at wow com s totem talk sparked a rather spirited geekout epeen contest comment war about glyph choices and stat priorities some people just like to disagree and some people don t know how to disagree without being a tool on the positive side i m glad there are so many shamans out there who care so much about glyph choices i thought it might be helpful to provide my thoughts about each of our major glyphs and when they might be most viable just about all the major glyphs are useful in some way but many of them will not be optimal for you depending on how you heal and your gear level most people seemed to gloss over the fact that lodur was simply listing what he considered the most popular glyphs not the best glyphs for every situation don t treat your three glyph choices as the only reasonable option still in a resto 101 article i would have liked to see a little more glyph advice for aspiring resto shamans frankly what is popular among resto shamans is not a very good guide to what you should be doing first people are morons second you may not be at the same gear or content levels as a majority of the resto shamans and thus certain glyphs will be less useful for you lets break the major glyphs into a few categories for convenience the no brainer the solid options the situationally useful and the why in god s name are you using this glyph for your minor glyphs use water shield to save a gcd once in a while you will take damage in raids that will proc your shields and no other minor glyphs will help your healing so just do it for the last two use whatever floats your boat i like astral recall and renewed life the no brainer glyph of earth shield no matter what content you are running you are going to want to have an earth shield up on something at all times usually that will be one of the tanks but it could be a caster or even yourself depending on who is taking damage and needs some interrupt protection in heroics you just toss this on the tank and forget about it at higher gear levels it will pretty much heal the heroic for you at lower gear levels it will provide a nice buffer and help you save mana by dumping less heals into the tank this glyph makes your es 20 more effective i m pretty sure it s even mandatory for pvp a great glyph for a great spell use this glyph the solid options glyph of chain heal chain heal pretty much defines the resto shaman class even if it s not the only spell we use anymore when you re hitting chain heal it s because several people have taken damage and you want to heal as many of them as possible adding one more person to your chain heal is almost a no brainer the only exception would be if you are only running heroics where there are less places for the spell to jump and so you may get some overhealing even then this isn t overhealing that is costing you any mana you were hitting chain heal anyway so i wouldn t get too worried about it if it hits a fourth person it was probably helpful once you start raiding i d consider this a no brainer for most folks it will improve your throughput and pump out extra healing when you need it the most at no additional mana cost even in 10 mans where you cast chain heal less often i d need to see a very convincing argument for not taking this glyph perhaps if you hardly ever cast the spell some of the glyphs below would provide more benefit glyph of riptide now we really start to get into glyphs were you can make arguments either way this glyph adds two extra ticks of hot to your riptide spell beyond the extra healing this also means that in a raid environment you can have riptide up on 4 people at time rather than 3 this lets you be a little bit like a resto druid and also gives you more targets to bounce a chain heal off of and still get the 25 improvement to chain heal at the cost of the riptide hot for a new healer in 5 mans i d say this is not your best choice it s not horrible and the extra hot ticks are nice but you probably won t be trying to get riptide on multiple targets to bounce chain heals as you start to get into raids they glyph becomes more valuable in a 25 man raid with predictable damage you can really improve your chain healing throughput with smart usage of this glyph glyph ...
