Blood DK doing as much healing as me, am I doing something wrong?

He’s was around 10 ilevels higher (the DK).

A blood DK can easily push 50-60k HPS and upwards depending on pulls / proper use of abilities and talents / affixes.

There isnt always a reason a healer should do more healing than a BDK.
Their whole playstyle / mitigation works on the basis of: take damage and heal it.
If the rest of the group isnt taking damage because they play properly (i.e. move out of fire) there is nothing to heal for whatever healer you bring and the DK takes care of itself.

Which in turn gives the healer time to dps and not bother too much with healing.

HPS values dont tell a lot of stuff, and you cant say: you are playing bad as a healer because you cant outheal a BDK.

Edit: so far i havent seen any good advice from you in person, since you seem to lack the knowledge of BDK in general. and how to play them.

Even overconfident in his research is see, how cute.

Edit: oh wait i said i would exit the thread, my bad, im out.

Then I don’t know. In terms of sustained healing the healer would certainly beat him easily. Blood can only do high burst healing.

Good BDK does 50k + overall data at the end of run
and OP did 30k as returning player with 435 gear ,more than good performance

A healer that knows how to heal a DK :heart_eyes: let’s be friends?

So here’s the thing. As a healer you’re limited in what you can heal. You can only heal those who take damage.

On a +5 and +8, there is almost no damage to the group, at least not if they at least try and dodge stuff, so the only one who is really gonna need healing is the tank, and the others will more or less be healed passively.
Now BDK, does a lot of healing, but only to himself, but if he is the only one taking damage, then all his healing, is taking away from what you can heal, therefore “boosting” himself on meters, while dragging you down.

Now this is not a bad thing at all, this just means you have less to heal, and can spend more time as dps.

As for if your healing is bad, there is only ever 1 real indicator. Did anyone die from a lack of healing? if yes then you didn’t heal enough, if no, then your healing is fine, and the tank just healed all the damage he took and the rest just didn’t take that much.

Exactly. They also timed it with 10 minutes to spare.

One thing to bear in mind, alot of the damage/heal meters by default include absorbs as healing, I have Recount and you can turn this off to get more realistic numbers, this might be what is messing with your figures, although BDK are some of my favourite tanks to heal :slight_smile:
