Never been in a certain instance, Heroic, or Raid? And worse yet, your a healer? Well theres ways to not fail!
First Tip: Ask for someone to explain the fights! Naturally, this wont always happen.
Second Tip: Read up on the fight or watch a YouTube video of it. Heck, you can come here for that! But this still isnt going to make you a master of the instance, Experience is better!
Well Neither tip is working? Dont fear! As a healer, those can only help so much!
Rule One: Be comfortable healing with that class. If you dont know how healing works then its a bad idea to que it! Practice healing yourself or level a alt to like 30 as a healer of this class. It'll teach you more then a blog can!
Rule Two: Rotations are best for dps, a healer must be flexiable! Some tanks need huge heals so you cant afford to start HoTing THEN heal!
Now that thats out of the way! What you been waiting for, how not to fail in the raid!
First thing to do is remember, Majority is most likely to be standing in the right spot! Dont listen to the asshole screaming orders, alot of times they dont know whats going on! So always stay with the range. When they move, move with!
Next, be a healer! You heal damage so you have plenty of chances to look around and get a look at where the boss is, whats popping up, and how its being handled.
If you see heavy AoE damage then use your AoE heals. Best thing to do is to switch between the 2 groups that are most likely set up. In most cases, the range are together somewhat and the melee are together. So, dont cut hairs! Target a tank, AoE heal then target yourself and AoE heal. Do this for whatever groups needs the most healing at the time or switch between the two if its about the same. Worry about the stray dps after you've got the bulk up to or around 75% health.
-If the fight requires everyone ranged abit then your best place is about the center area of the range or between range and melee! As a healer you have to hit everyone so being in corners with half the group out of your range wont do! During the fight your best bet is to heal as needed enless its AoE damage in which case you AoE as you can or toss quick heals or HoTs on each person depending which will be more effective due to spacing. If a AoE cant hit atleast 3 people then its useless no matter if your dps or heals!
Pop CDs! All except Hs can be useful to you! Your mana below 50%? why not hit a pot or a mana returning spell! Better to do when ya have the chance and need then when ya need the major healing! If ya got a huge AoE heal that has a few min CDs then use it when ya got a number of people dying or during heavy AoE. As far as hero goes, never pop it enless asked! This has a debuff of 10 mins and it shouldnt be wasted! Trinket CDs and the like work best when you'll be doing constant healing like during heavy damage. Waste not, want not!
Next, Common Sense. Stay out of AoEs. Again by watching your betters or majority you'll see how to avoid them and what you should and shouldnt take. If ya see people running behind a boss or pillar for an attack, follow! If ya see ooze at your feet, get out of it! And of course if you have aggro run TO a tank, not away. Some aggro will happen and sometimes its not something you can help but if you run like a idiot and make them chase you then your death is your fault.
Lastly is wiping. Never let a wipe be for nothing. One fight per boss is fine, it just means newer people got to see the fight! Dont get mad, just accept and do better!
I hope these tips help! I'll add more if I find more tricks! For now, I hope these will improve your experience in the game!
