Garreth and Mori's Healing Seminar: Going Beyond "Just Get Grid"

We've got a lot of new healers that need a LOT of work. We also have some old veterans that could use some new insight into how play their class as efficiently as possible. I'm setting up this one hour group session for all of us to get on vent and go somewhere to work on honing our skills. We'll be going over things like:

  • Configuration of Grid and Grid-addons
  • Discussion of Grid indicators
  • Using indicators as a realtime guide on where to put heals
  • Dos and Don'ts
  • Macros: mouse-over cleanse, auto-trinket-pop, self-casts
  • The focus frame
  • How To Use Other People's HoTs/Shields To Make YOU Better
  • Splitting up the raid into healing zones
  • Gear choices: Longterm or Power-healing?
  • Decisions: How To Decide Who To Heal?
  • Why We Don't Always Care About "Healing Meters"

This will be a quick, fun way to get a lot of healing mains some information they might not have been exposed to yet. All healing alts and dps hybrids are welcome and highly encouraged to join. I have this scheduled tentatively for Monday evening at 9pm. The time may change, so keep a heads up. Please SIGN UP so we have some numbers on who's coming.  This is me hoping that Yoggy is dead by then. If he's not, we'll push this until after raid.

Also, if you're an applicant to Downfall, I expect you to be here. Yeah, even the dps classes.  Every raiding dps class needs a knowledge of healer techniques so that they can better work within the raid. 

Everyone should come with the following installed and updated: 

  • Grid
  • GridStatusRaidDebuff
  • GridStatusHoTs
  • Quartz
  • Ora2

All attendees should understand how to write and use macros as well. See you all there.

Fjork — Fri, 05/22/2009 - 07:31

I'm on Kogar's bandwagon, families shtuffs.  If I actually manage to get online I can't promise more than a couple minutes playtime.

*blinks ignorantly*     (Notice I said ignorant, not stupid. ^^)

But uh? 

  • What's this MACRO thing you keep talking about? 
  • And err....  why ish healbotz not guud to Grid? 
  • Why I needz pallypower?  I no loladin!
  • Moushover?  Is this a new phase for teh zul'grub kitty-fight?
  • Why aer Ora2 gittin in my way!  Fillz up the middle of my screen with that "Main Tank" stuff!  And I don't have much room to move it around my raid-framz!
  • Clique?  Ja!  I do that with my moush!  ALOT!  Shift-click....?  Huh?
  • OH!  I know THAT one!  Quartz is in jur watch!  garreff want us to know what time I is!  I'm SO l337!!!!
  • Dash okay tho.  I just git mah QuestHelper 2 help me!  Whua?  It ish mah bandwish?  Oh silly!  These cuts are FAKE.  Ish a GAME!!!!  Besides, I hash guud first aid!
  • (For Ubuntu Users) Mah moush lags guys so.... if you die, SO not mah fault.  Ish HARD to get back and forth across the screen.
     

 

Hmmm........  *begins pondering making a clique reference guide for handbook and its uses with a 3+ button mouse.....*

Kogarasumaru — Fri, 05/22/2009 - 02:42

I would like to attend this but with this being scheduled for memorial day, I know that i am having a party and plan to have been drinking most the day.  So with that being said if i am still sober enough to make it over to my computer and get on wow I will do my best to be online so that all the real healers out there can properly school me in the art of healing.

If Garreth is on vent for this, I will be able to listen, just not talk unless it is in chat.

Should add Clique to the addon discussion. I know alot of people don't use but it is an amazing tool. I think I would have to stop healing if they quit updating it....

(this site has a good 'configuring grid' post as well.

or just create mouseover/mousebound macros :P
