Healing in Raids

[Kevin]

Ok, GG how about this: Nobody I play with is offended by cross healing.  I like it, it lets me get back to my windfury zerg, frostshock spamming roots. :)

Most of my comments are directed at the 40man game, GG.  Not that I'm uberleet or anything, but I have been hitting MC fairly regularly for the past couple of months.  I personally don't have much use for Strath or Scholo, and think UBRS is boring cake.  So when you say raid, that's what I comment on.

I agree in UBRS, with 3-5 healers you could either work out a system or just use voice chat as you go along to avoid overheals.  For Ony, with 10-15 healers (counting Pallys), phase 2 and 3 are too chaotic for a superdiciplined healing rotation that avoids overheals through tatical brilliance.  Without CTRA somebody will overheal.  Healer mana often determines how that fight will go.  The choice is yours.  There are also places in MC where CTRA can be the difference between life and death.

Works for me. My apologies again for my misinterpretation. Since I just turned 59 with her so raids are still UBRS or loot runs in most cases. Heck it's the same with my 60 warrior for raids as well and he's been there for awhile.

I did turn on over heal protection last night. It works for when you are focus healing one target. However it doesn't work at all for how I usually heal.

I don't select the target then case the spell. I keep the primary mob targeted (or have nothing targeted) and then hit the number for the heal I want and click the portrait/CT Raid/Default UI bar. Overheal protection requires you to have the target selected when you heal them. I'm more comfortable with select spell then select target. Of course I wish I could get a macro that would work this way for doing a rez notification or an innervate notification, but since you never select a target the way I'm healing it doesn't.

And yeah I do see the value in overheal protection, but I'm still a stubborn little stickler. :)
