Hi guys/girls,
been playing since early wrath and have played almost every class at least somewhat challenging.
Main a DK tank lvl 100 and got hunter/mage/lock/warrior(tank ) /rogue/priest/druid at 90-100 in between.
During MoP I healed a lot on my disc priest and usually ended up top with hps and absorbs.
Long story short, got some experience under my belt.
For WoD I decided to lvl my shammy up first. Now I've done some healing on him in MoP and never struggled. Enjoyed the healing and the way the shaman plays out.
WoD is hard though. I find myself going oom very easily trying to keep everyone up at decent healthlevels.
I was wondering if someone can point me out if somewhere I'm screwing up.
Cannot link armory cause at work and wowarmory is blocked, but you can find me : Vindicasha - blade's edge EU.
My gearlvl currently is ilvl 611 iirc so not to great yet.
I put earth shield on MT.
Use riptides on MT and whoever is taking dmg or likely to take dmg to keep tidal waves up.
Use unleashlife as much as i can to get the most out of my healing waves
Drop my totem almost on cd in fights.
On aoe dmg or multiple people low, drop healing rain and use chain heal, started from MT or anyone else who has riptide rolling on them for the extra healing buff.
When group is really low pop my spirit link totem , ascendance and spam chain heals. ( when it's all off cd, otherwise just chainheals with riptides interweaved )
Hell I'll even drop a capacitor totem to stun for few secs less dmg incoming and ofc the healing tide totem when needed.
yesterday I was pulling 16-18k hps and still had people dying in shadowmoon hc on 1st boss fight.
I go oom in less then a minute with 16% overheals only ( mostly from healing rain overhealing ).
Am I doing something wrong or are shammy healers just in a bad spot atm ?
It just feels like my healing wave hardly heals at all, need to spam 4-5 on a tank just to get him up.
