you mistaken not being able to heal the dungeon, with tinking its boring to sit and drink for 50% or even more of the time you are inside said dungeon.
and down ranking serves what purpose? if tank is at 50% hp there is no reason to downrank your spell when your max rank won even top him off. down ranking isnt really a thing untill you have alot of +healing and its on a 100% ratio spell ( healing wave etc. )
true and wrong, It helps no matter what, depening on the situations you tank/group are in.
Thats why as a healer you should have many ranks of your of heals ready.
when your max ranked heals is barely getting the job done during aoe pulls, i fail to see the situation for a downranked one :)) 0 overhealing.
and cant really compare shaman to priest at lower levels, priests dont have to replace totems every pull for 300+ mana, and they also have 30% mana regen from spirit while casting. there is hardly any mana per 5 gear prioer to pre Bis gear. so comparing mana, shaman vs priest isnt really fair.
im complaining about spending more time afk drinking than playing the gameā¦
that is all basically, didnt come here for advice since im doing well already, just dont like spending half my time drinking.
I wouldnāt know, thatās why I added the disclaimer of never having played a resto shammy during vanilla . Iām not trying to point out what youāre doing wrong, Iām simply trying to understand if thereās something you could do differently that might make healing easier.
It might simply be a matter of not joining cleave groups and see how that goes.
You are leveling, with crappy gear. What the hell did you think would happend? BFA like healing where a healer never go OOM?
Let me speed you up to date: This is Classic, a vanilla like experience where healers donāt have infite ammount of mana and the mana to healing ratio is screwed until you get better gear ( WAY BETTER)
Untill then, accept that drinking mana is part of the game.
And if it was, that doesnt mean you should complain about it. Thatās like complaining today that the gamecube version of Wind Waker went for a cartoony style.
