voice cracks

[marvinsean]

you say you have to be able too see your environment, but your ui is a really bad example, as it blocks most of the screen

[opibat1980]

Can someone plz explain me what triage is and why that it's good to do cuz, i don't get it

[StupidTankProduction]

hey i have a 72 resto shaman and i am always out of mana how do i keep my mana up?

[ultrawazza]

I have an orc shaman he was a resto but i changed to enhancment he is 48 soon 49 but gamecard has end but yesterday our healer leaved and i took on my healing gear then i healed my friend 2237 is that much for an lvl 48 enhancment shammy?!

[nightbind19]

i have one question are shaman use to raid heal or single target heal?

[zsazal]

Usually it's raid heal since we have chain heal. But theoretically you could be single target with Riptide, Lesser Healing Wave, Lesser Healing Wave combo working. I don't know the build that'd be to make that work best though, I haven't been shaman too long.

[nightbind19]

well guess i need to practice muti target healing than and thx

[SweAssassin]

@nightbind19 They are a little of both, Earth Shield for example heals the target when he takes damage, and Chain Heal heals multiple targets

[ultrawazza]

whats your race orc troll tauren or drenie

[skrova07]

Draenei. :)

[blackmob1010]

Write me back if u want real Shaman healing tips

And if u want to be top of the meters and still have 60% mana at the end of the fight

[mushman05]

what stats should i look for resto-shammy?? i always run out of mana but i dont have really good gear im still 67

[ThePaladinOfLight]

go for mp5, int, spell power, haste and crit rating.

and for god sake use a shield and not a off hand fancy thing the extra armor is really worth it

[lightdarkness8]

int stam and mp5 also you need some crit but that usually comes with the gear and LOTS OF HASTE!

[terrorxcrew874]

Great video bro,just getting into healing from elemental myself,nice guide.

[FrostByte38]

Which healing race/class would you recommend for a first-time player?

[RiverOfMind]

Hi, It really depends on what style you want but any race does (Minmaxing might have a few combinations though).

Think about the style you want.

Druid - Raidwide strong Healing over time.

Priest - Strong Preventative Shields or Big Raidhealing in Bursts.

Shaman - Toolbox healer, strong singletarget and chainheal.

Paladin - King of singletarget, pretty spammy. Relatvily easy.

[Boompass]

@RiverOfMind you forgot about bandage healers :o

[luckyluke793]

I'd go for druid because while ur doing damage and healing you get to have fun changing forms as well

[DaLilShorty8999]

@FrostByte38 whatever you do dont to pally healer, im sorry to say but i hated pally healer in every dungeon or raid i have their heals are meant for backup healing lol i tried it myself to.. they suck . first time i suggest druids :) awsome healing over time and super super fun!

[Cetrus]

Great video man! I got a 80 Shaman aswell and I think your tips are really nice. I'm gonna write em up and keep practicin for perfection. One thing though that bothers me is: Can we mainly heal the entire raid, or are we more effective at healing 1 specific group (like melees) etc? And what should I think about in my rotation of spells? What's needed in different situations and such.

Last I most ask what's the name of the black frame addon, where the text, spells are located?

[PhoenixFirewolf]

Hmm, almost looks like the same addons and setup I use. For triage, if you have raid frames set to display damage taken and not life left, then you don't even have to think about it. That what most healers don't get.

[sythshowedu]

Your gay?

[RiverOfMind]

No U

[tripleguy031]

@sythshowedu calling him gay? i know guys with his kind of voice who gets laid all the time lol

[beauguthery]

i dont have a healer(not high level anyway)but you could put HoTs on the dieing guy an then use your big heal :D would that work well

[VengefulSpoon]

HoTs take time to make a real effect, if your tank is in danger of dying you need to get a big heal on him quick and then put the HoTs on. - No point putting HoTs on him if he is about to die :) -

In that kind of situation HoTs are a back up, or effect to buff your big heal (on a druid) - Then roll your HoTs to keep him up until large spike damage then throw another truck of health at him.

[helloguy829]

Hit 80 before you comment, no offence intended

I am rerolling a priest or a shammy deciding atm..

[bassebyskov2]

Hey mate.. ty for great movies...but i cant find triage on curse or on normals addon pages :( can u tell me where u have it from..ty anyway..

Resto shaman FTW ! :P

[RiverOfMind]

Ah triage is a concept not an addon :3, it's something you have to do.

[PBSNiPE]

What are you AddOns? the one box where your clicking on? i guess thats your team? i have no good addons for my healer and i need some. i have WOW Matrix... any there?

[RiverOfMind]

I'm using Grid for that, a fair few people to, it's rather easy to use. That's the only one I'd REALLY say healers need.

[donkeyhammer44]

i dont know if your answering stuff but i someone may, i have a 50 shaman and im going to go resto and level 58-80 that way... im just woundering if in regular instances ill just be doing lesser healing waves and riptides. And in raids will i just spam chain heal?

[RiverOfMind]

It's mostly up to you but in instances I used chainheal and healingwave alot more, because you can wait for the damage to roll in and such, damage doesn't need to be healed right now immediatly, particulary if it's only somethings like 2k damage.

[Fatboybj96]

Hey River long time viewer seen ALL of your Oblivion videos and i didnt even know you played WoW I guess we like the same kinda games, I play (currently) CoD4, WoW, CS:S and a tiny bit of Maple.

I also really really like Diablo 1 and 2 but I always loved Oblivion i could just never finish it (Always had problems with it hardware style)

[ApocalypticaNagrand]

same here! i play cod wow and sometimes maple, although i dunno what CS is. also, great guide river
