Hi I’m new to monk and MW, been reading guides and gets a hang of how MW works in raids… I’m doing something wrong because I’m getting oom pretty fast when I’m healing in raids.
Got 347ilvl, I know it’s not the best gear.
You’re probably casting vivify too much. Try to have your hots up all the time, try to use thunder focus tea efficiently and try to use the level 30 talent about mana reduction when casting vivify and enveloping mists interchangably efficiently.
Without logs, cant tell you. Cant even check your character, but i assume you read guides and know about them already. Check out the one on peakofserenity if you didnt already.
Most common mistake is casting enveloping mist when its not necessary. Should only be used when someone is taking excess amounts of single target damage, and will continue to do so over most of env mists duration.
Dont try to cycle it in between vivifys just for the sake of lifecycles. Its a bad play.
Lifecycles is good on couple bosses where lots of single target healing is necessary, ex. fetid devourer, but most bosses mana tea is the best option. Since some bosses they made very melee unfriendly, spirit of the crane is used less.
Mana tea most optimal use: essence font BEFORE casting mana tea. Spam vivify and essence font right before mana tea expires. Watch you have renewing mists out though.
That is if all that healing is necessary. Use common sense.
Use revival often when there is big aoe damage to heal up to save you mana.
DPS in downtime, tiger palm, blackout kick and even CJL is free of mana cost. Dont just sit there channeling soothing mist for example when there is absolutely nothing to heal.
