Most classes find themselves healing differently if they are assigned to tank healing than if they were put on raid healing duty. There are several reasons for this, one is obviously mana management while another is healing output and efficiency. Once again this post will focus mostly on a 10 man scenario where it’s beneficial to know how to heal both the tanks and the raid, however, each section will touch upon the healing rotations you might favour in 25 man where the healing assignments are stricter.
This is meant to help understand how your co-healer works, as well as help those new to healing to get a basic understanding how their class works in regards to tank and raid healing. The abilities most commonly used by each classes have been explained in the introduction to each class, so you can use those as a reference point should you need it: discipline priest, holy priest, restoration druid, restoration shaman and holy paladin.

You can do more than just get your shiny gear and that is what will be discussed here. Gemming and enchanting it to the best of your ability will make the gear even better and up your stats even more. Then you can use self buffs such as food and elixirs or a flask prior to an encounter to further maximise your stats. If you are particular about your stats and want an ever further boost, particularly useful in a progression oriented guilds, you could choose professions which would benefit you most stats wise. Finally I will touch upon glyph swapping and how that can benefit you for certain encounters.

Unfortunately, if you want to heal at level 80 you have to get to that level first which can be a long and daunting process. Thankfully there have been tweaks and additions in recent patches which will help speed up the levelling. This post will look into what spec to level as once you have chosen the class you prefer, then there will be some comments about gear before it’s finished off with some tips on having fun while levelling. However, the very first thing you need to do is decide what class you want to level.

- A holy priest is often great at keeping the whole raid alive, especially in AoE situations.
Introduction
A holy priest is a strong AoE healing class because of its wide range of multi target healing abilities. This post on the holy priest as meant as a presentation of the healing class before venturing into a more comparative section on all the healing classes later on in the series.

- Absorbing damage is a unique and important part of discipline healing.
Introduction
A discipline priest is a strong tank healing class which helps ensure the raid takes less damage that needs to be healed through. This is only going to scrape the surface of discipline priest healing so those who are not too familiar with this way of healing can use this as a point of reference for the remaining parts of the healing series.

This post could have been posted a month ago, but I wanted to make sure I’d healed the first four bosses as multiple classes before writing it. So far my restoration druid, holy paladin and discipline priest have healed the majority of the bosses in this wing. (My shaman is currently elemental and enhancement dual spec, so she has yet to go here as a healer.) As I have not been very eager to pug ICC25 yet, this post will focus on the 10man encounters. I will not go into general tactics and assume you have already read these elsewhere and are familiar with the various abilities in the different encounters. If you are not yet familiar with this, please have a look at Tankspot (they have some great videos), Wow Wiki or other sites with proper tactics. The post is mostly aiming at new or less experienced healers as hard core raiders are already far past this wing of ICC.
