Its great to see a higher tier player playing as vulpera.
some tanks are better on mitigation then other tanks 😀 'played healer and tank in over years'
Blood DK: 85% to 20%
MW/Disc/HPaly: ZOMG HIS HEALTH DROPPED SO FAST!!!! I NEED TO USE MY CDS————
Blood DK: (uses 2 Deathstrikes to heal back to full)
I didn't see that you mentioned Ignore Pain for Prot Warrior. They can periodically be rolling it as rage permits, and it functions basically a spammable 50% damage reduction (based on attack power and versatility) with potentially massive absorb capability for physical and magic damage. A Prot Warrior making good use of Ignore Pain will take very smooth damage, at least in my experience. (I main a Prot warrior, Resto druid, and Mistweaver.)
what add on are you using to Change the profile picture of each player ??
Growl, don't think you will get away without a resto druid raid healing/Nathria guide
I never see a guide like this, great video 😊
Resto druids and monks are a fit made in heaven
love the legendary on my paladin that reduces holy power for spells by 1 when using judgment which allows almost 100% uptime on shield of the righteous at the cost of dps
Is there any chance you could share the weakauras used for each of the tanks? Thanks
If anyone has problem to heal a BDK I can recommend this WA. its pretty self explanatory https://wago.io/LP07mr7Bx
Big brain: Healer watching a video about how to heal tanks.
Galaxy brain: Tank watching how healers will heal him.
6:15 so fucking true
I main dk, i play a lot of blood. Relax, healing too much because you panic won't help. It is much better to give us damage mitigation or shield or dot heals. I also play healers and i know how frustrating dk can be to heal because it can be unpredictable. Runic power although a good indicator, it's not reliable because for a example i might have 0 runic power and my health starts climbing up because i used bonestorm, or vampiric blood and sacrifical pact, or vampiric blood and because i am draenei, gift of the naaru, or bloodrinker. We are squishy, but most of our abilities heal us. The hardest part is not dying at the first 5 seconds. High keys tho, we lack a lot compared to other classes. But low keys we might not need healing.
This video is just as informative for tanks as it is for healers, thanks, great video!
Ohhh the bear is growl himself!
Did you make a video on how to setup the "death strike"/"Stagger" besides the unit frames?
love the video Growl, keep up the good work buddy
Fascinating video man, LOVED watching this as a tank.
Prot pala part. As things are now, spending power to heal is superior to keeping righteous up (when it comes to survival). The threshold is about 40k damage per second if I remember correctly, only then rithgeous becomes better. That also means more absorbs from conduit to add to the insane avenger shield absorbs.
Not sure how it will scale, but right now in mythic 0 Prot palas are imo the easiest to heal after bears.
Seeing Prot palas sustain 3k-4k HPS with 180 gear with just their self heal is insane. Add to that, insane 10k+ absorbs in big packs from avenger shield spam and kyrian ability is hilarious. I’ve seen 50k+ absorb shields very often when they use kyrian ability but since it scales with avenger shield damage I can see it’s effectiveness decrease in high keys.
What on earth is going on with Ironfur?! 100 * Agility / 100… why not just say agility? I am confused
Hello growl this is friend
Big thank to the experiences share
Imo best tanks to heal are warriors and paladins.
Yo. Could you Share stagger/Death Strike WA please ?
Thank you for another awesome video. Your explanation on DK will help me a lot. They are the tank I struggle the most healing when the guy does not like to Death Strike.
A minor note as well for prot pallies is that their self heal (Word of Glory) now requires holy power, so it is not available 100% of the time like Light of the Protector was. Popping wings + LotP with the right azerite trait was like a free LoH in BFA, but not available anymore.
Prot warriors will also run impending victory, giving them a 30% heal every 30 seconds.
The dots are an issue, but magic damage from a single target is not that big of an issue with ignore pain and spellreflect.
Also we have a 70% AoE slow, intervene and Leap to kite.
For the intervene especially it helps if you stand somewhat outside and offer yourself as an escape route to start kiting.
I also play night Fae increasing my ability to kite by a lot.
Does anyone know what addon allows the tracking of each class’ defensive cooldowns? (the icons to the left of the party frame)
I don't know if it's already been said, but Blood DKs have a talent — that they ALL take if they have ANY clue what they are doing — called Will of the Necropolis. It reduces all damage taken when below 30% HP by 30%, and it includes partial reduction on big hits (i.e. if the DK is at 35% and takes an attack that deals more than 5% of their health, the amount that dips them below 30% will be reduced by 30% even within that one big hit).
The talent is AMAZINGLY powerful and results in really strange-looking damage curves if the healer doesn't know about it. For example, a Blood DK might wait until they are nearly at 30% before hitting Icebound Fortitude (30% reduction) and suddenly it seems like all incoming damage just… stops. That's because they have 30% mitigation from armor, 30% from WotN, and 30% from Icebound Fortitude. This also means that if you are going to hit a Blood DK with a proactive damage reduction cooldown, it's best to wait until they are around 35%-ish health to get the most mileage out of it — again, assuming that the DK isn't going to die from a giant hit.
In other words, as long as the DK isn't in danger of being one-shot by a big hit, it's fine to leave them at 35%-ish health and hit them with HoTs and efficient healing. A lot of Blood DKs don't WANT to be at full health; they want to be able to leverage Death Strike healing, Bloodworm healing, Will of the Necropolis reduction, etc. to allow healers time and space to heal the rest of the party and even DPS. It's for this reason that Discipline Priests are so amazing with Blood DKs: the shield doesn't actually heal them but still benefits from the 30% DR from WotN and the steady stream of healing from Atonement is often plenty once the Blood DK has stabilized the pull.
Whats the UI/addon for thoose party frames ? 😁
Ty for this
Thanks for all the content lately. Can you do an updated healer tier list from your pov sometime this week?
Thanks for the great video 😀 ! A quick question, you forgot to mention Fiery Brand for VDH which is a pretty good mitigation, especially if they run the FB build, do you track their usage of this spell ?
Resto druids seem to be on the struggle bus, perhaps just a large majority of noob's trying out M+ but gosh darn. I don't think it's the healer/tank relationship that is the issue but rather healer/dps. DPS don't use their stuns/cc/interupts and just get smashed by all things avoidable, its a rough time for a healer for sure.
how can i get this party frames? ^^'
As someone who is currently maining a druid (both guardian and resto for m+), I can definitely say that guardian feels pretty bulky at the moment. I'm finding that healers often spam heals into me when they really don't need to, so I may need to communicate with them better or something. Guardian is really self-sufficient for light-medium damage, since they have the globals to spend on FR. If you're healing a bear, tracking their FR charges can be really helpful. Often, you can ignore them in favor of healing others or dpsing yourself.
Could someone please tell me how to get each players buffs next to their frame? I'm a new healer and that would be really nice. Thank you.
Very nice overview. I would like to add (for viewers who might now know) that Meta for Vengeance is 3min CD, not 5. They also have Fiery Brand, a 1min CD 40% damage reduction for 10 seconds, they can apply to single target, typically the most dangerous mob in a pack or a boss. There is also a talent build that lets the DH spread this effect to a new mob every 2 seconds, and increase the total duration to 14 seconds. On top of that they have a conduit and legendary that further reduces the cooldown, meaning it will be available on most pulls. This can easily be tracked on enemy nameplates as it is a debuff put on them.
Very interesting. Now let me go back to over-healing anything that is under 95% HP to keep my OCD sanity
An important thing to note about Paladins (not sure about other tanks) is their mastery coupled with the Holy Shield talent can really smooth out their damage taken as the expansion gets further in… still gotta watch out for those bleeds though.
What editing software do you use? Your videos are part of why I want to start creating content, there's not much Prot Paladin content out there so I'd like to produce some!
Dunno for me if its got a shield in hand i like healing it
As a vengence dh I try to stay full health and watch my defense spells too put less stress on you healers
this video is the most retarded thing i have ever seen. more incorrect information than a wowhead post
Hey Growl !!
I am using your UI set up and I am loving it, I was wondering would you be making one for raids ?
I am not raid ready yet but i do like having my UI ready for when I am ready
I just returned to WoW , I played in Legion last 😀
This is exactly the content we needed right now with mythic plus out. Thank you!
Hi Growl! are you doing the rest of the dungeons guide? ^^ they are my bible!
