The Resto Guide: Healing the Tanks

Welcome to another weekly edition of the restoration druid guide's. This week we will talk about healing the tanks and of course well... how to do it. Healing the tanks is a fairly simple thing to do, normally druids are needed to heal the raid, we will get more into detail with healing the raid next week. Lets say that you are the only one healing the tank, well here is what you do. First, start out with a Regrowth, then Rejuvenation, then stack Lifebloom up 3 times, NEVER let Lifebloom fall of the tank unless the tank is REALLY low on Health, if it does fall up stack it back up immediately. After you get the tank hotted up, watch his health. Depending on how hard the boss hits you may need to put a Nourish on the tank every now and then, or you may have to spam the tank withNourish, also be prepared to use Swiftmend too, it is a big instant heal. If your tank is not taking much damage and your hots are able to heal him through all the damage being taken, you can move on to using your hots on the next tank. Hot up the next tank the same way you did the first one, this time you will stack Lifebloom
on the first tank, and then stack it on the second tank. All hots should be casted on both tanks within a second from eachother, so when Lifebloom
hits 1 second on the FIRST tank, Lifebloom
will be at 2 seconds on the SECOND tank. When the hots tick down, you just put Lifebloom
on both of them again and then keep them stacked up. Now if your tank does not need much heals still, but there is no other tank to heal or it is just not really needed, you can throw hots on the raid and use a Nourish on them every now and then too, just watch your mana. Obviously dont keep hots up on two tanks and heal the raid if you cant withstand enough mana to keep hots up on the tank you are supposed to be healing the whole fight. I think that is pretty much it for healing the tanks, if you have any other suggestions or have a question just email me @ therestodruid@yahoo.com. Thanks for reading and tune in next week for Healing the raid.
