Everyone is always looking for healers and tanks.<BR/><BR/>After a while you make friends with repeat tanks and you just need dps to round out the spots which is easy to find. The other good thing is you gain rep while leveling this way and gain access to some of the better gear since you'll be running instances over and over (for every spec).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973625562524497697.post-87001923779983694012007-11-21T16:02:00.000-05:002007-11-21T16:02:00.000-05:00Even without Healing Way, Healing Wave will have b...Even without Healing Way, Healing Wave will have better HPM for single-target healing. However, having Chain Heal jump to even one more teammate can easily push the HPM beyond that of HW, especially as you move beyond Kara gear. Like the first commenter, I generally use CH 4 or 5 for my MT-healing duties because it's nearly as efficient and the "splatter" healing is very useful, especially on mobs with cleave. (I also don't have Healing Way, so that's added incentive to stick with CH.) <BR/><BR/>I can't really speak to playing resto from 60-70 as I levelled to 70 as enhancement. The better healing drops are hard to come by until the last half of the 60's (and I'd strongly suggest some of the gear guides in my links section for items you should be looking for), but I generally found that I could heal most 5-man instances with green "of the [X]" drops if I had to, even as enhancement - it just wasn't always easy. If you're gunning for raiding, though, I'd stick with enhancement or elemental as they're much faster levelling specs and just respec to resto when you've collected a couple of instance quests (or just get a guildmate to heal for you and enjoy the DPS role for the time being). I'd actually intended to post some leveling tips soon, so I'll bump them up the "to do" list.Draezelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362431026382434686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973625562524497697.post-40302626153530537812007-11-21T14:47:00.000-05:002007-11-21T14:47:00.000-05:00This is one of my biggest fears at the moment.

However, given that itemization is so bad in pre-outlands areas, I decided to level as Enhancement and respec when I hit, say, 64. I'm hoping to build a set of healing gear if I can find drops, but I fear that if I respec at 60 with bad gear, I'll be unable to heal from the get go. Any advice on that or should I level to 70 as enhancement and just start there?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12443265182043871213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973625562524497697.post-76887156515793595732007-11-21T14:20:00.000-05:002007-11-21T14:20:00.000-05:00Because of how fast it scales, Chain Heal beats ou...Because of how fast it scales, Chain Heal beats out Healing Wave for single target healing reasonably quickly, especially if you are using the chain heal relic. I frequently use chain heal rank 4 for tank healing (and raid healing even in situations where it can't 'jump') unless I need large heals in which case I flip to max rank healing wave. I do use downranked healing waves very occasionally for tank healing if I'm healing the tank consistantly enough to have a good chunk of healing ways kept stacked up though. A lot of that depends on how much your +healing is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
