For the first time since the patch, I really think ive gotten the hang of the changes. Last night in Bain 10man Ulduar we downed 9 bosses in about 4 1/2 hrs, most of them were one shotted, inluding Ignis and Iron council, with no deaths. I think a huge part of it is the strategy I've started using. I would Beacon the MT and do as much healing as possible to the raid, thus all healing gets transfered to the MT. This strat worked extremely well in situations were serval raid members were taking extensive spike dmg and aoe heals just arent enough. Or in situations were it was mainly the tanks taking dmg, i would beacon the OT tank and heal the MT, while still having an assigned OT healer. Being able to give such a huge assist to the other healers without gimping my healing to my assignment was a huge help to our survivability.Also, one thing I noticed aswell, I had virtually zero mana issues and alot of it was do to replenishment. In the 25man we did earlier that night we only had 2 replenishers, in our 10man we had 3, so it most likely had a 100% up time.
I'll still need to bump up my mp5 to conpensate when there is a lack of replenishment and that should for the most part permenately negate all the nerfs Ive gotten this patch. So those of you holy pallies who are cursing the game right now for making your class worthless, Trust me there is light at end of the tunnel. Change doesnt always mean worse, it just means different. Happy Healing
