The role of healers in BfA
Healer is a team player and it’s hard to exaggerate his role in the raid as he is the only one who is responsible for survival in its very first meaning – to keep health. He restores the health of other players in the raid using his special skills and spells. Every healing guide must put to the top the information about basic abilities which are applied by healers in the battle.
Types of Healing Spells
One more thing: take care of your healer because you need him up till the end of the encounter meaning when you see the boss dead laying on the ground. All spells the healer owns are of several kinds only.
?Standard spells which work according to cast time meaning they start work only when the cast effect is complete.
?AoE (Area of Effect spells) – work in a certain area and have a bunch of targets at once.
?PBAoE (Player-Based Area of Effect spells) – the same AoE but this time they may be applied when the player moves and heals the players around him
?Absorbs – such spells which put a debuff on the player that protects him from getting damage
?HoTs (Heal over Time effects) – on contrary to AoE these spells work due to schedule, not area. The healer can use them pretty often depending on the tick rate
?Pandemic – great helper for HoTs as by using an old magic it allows HoT spell to be prolonged up to 30%.
BfA Healers RankingsHealer Leveling
It’s evident that the essential guide to healing can’t be complete without advice how to become the better or even the best healer. Based on this we define wow healers ranked choose the one who is, in our opinion, will work the best in a particular raid.
‼ The simpler the better. This is all about being comfortable with the interface of the game. Get help from numerous addons made for healers exactly. We promise to extend this topic soon.
‼ You must know the whole mechanics of the encounter including boss abilities to have a chance to predict some of his actions and possible damages the players from your raid may get.
‼ Be fast with your decisions while other players may have the luxury of making steps slower.
‼ Despite such an important role in the raid the healer is usually not a leader, he is an assistant. The best healers WoW know their duties in the group of players.
BfA Healing Addons
WoW addons for healers should be chosen by the same measure as others: the interface is on the top rank. Since healer is important for a raid to start learning available addon exactly with this mark – Raid frames. That’s not a puzzle at all, just follow this advice.
We strongly recommend taking a look at such Addons like:
The guide how to heal
Depending on the class of healer you play you will use different spells and abilities. But our BfA healing guide is about to help to understand how it works in general – how to heal when the goal of your life as a player is to save your team and help it to survive. It’s usual for every healer to start working in the encounter when one of the players gets damage.
But do not forget about the proactive spell like Absorbs which is essential to prevent the damage. While healing others, keep in mind your Mana is the primal recourse of every single spell you have. As a result, you need it as much as possible. Now some particular steps how to heal.
✅Use Absorbs when you are Restoration Druid (learn everything about it in druid healing guide) or Discipline Priest.
✅Range spells according to the situation as some are more effective, others less depending on the moment you are at.
✅Avoid Overhealing as it’s a situation when the target was healthy and the healing was done for nothing.
✅Be ready to react fast for unpredicted damage the boss may deal.
✅Do not forget to heel yourself and check your Mana. Nobody will gain something when the healer is weak.
✅File your spells and abilities: when a player demands immediate help or die to use your power for his sake first while others can wait. When the damage is flow and smoothes you can use inexpensive and slow healing.
BfA Healing Tank
WoW healers must be attentive to tanks as they are the only ones of all kinds of players who get damage that is kept during the whole battle. It does not matter if it’s one tank in the group or two, there must be a healer that will work with them only. Be careful and keep an eye on the tanks. They can be damaged at the same time which is the worst scenario as merely there is no time to heal both at once but if they get damage one by one you have an excellent chance to help both restore the balance in the game. The tank classes are not numerous and it’s not difficult to learn their mechanics. The benefits from that will be really rewarding.
Raid healing advice
WoW best healers are especially valued in raid healing. It means the healer must concentrate on all the players at once and be very fast with using his spells. The situation is much easier when there are 2 healers in the raid and they can start healing from different directions in order not to waste mana for the same objects. Or all the players can be divided into 2 groups and each healer is responsible for his group of players.
Cooldown Rotations
Cooldowns are always in the set of armor of every player. Healers can use this ability in the raid to help the whole group in the battle with the boss instead of only one player. Use cooldowns smart.
Healium
Healium is a World of Warcraft addon who's main goal is to simplify healing of party or raid members.
Healium provides a customizable and intuitive interface optimized to make it easy to heal. Healium allows you to place any spell, item, or macro onto buttons right next to each person's healthbar. The buttons will cast the spell on the person they are beside of, without the need for you to target the person first.
Player healthbars are compact and close to each other which reduces the amount of screen space you have to look over to monitor the party's health. The spell buttons are very close by, minimizing the space you have to move your mouse, and thus the time required, to cast the spell.
Unlike other healing focused addons, Healium does not require you to set up complex key combinations (shift, ctrl, and alt) to cast your spells. In Healium, you just click a healing button next to the person's health bar. There is no memorization of key combinations required. However, you may use the Clique addon with Healium if you would like to configure mouse and key combinations for some of your heals, to be used along with Healium's buttons.
Raid support was added at the request of Healium's users, however, Healium is not optimized for large raids or battlegrounds, and can fill up half your screen or more if you have all party windows open and have a lot of buttons configured. It is recommended for up to 2 parties (10 players) or less.
Healium was originally based on FB Heal Box and has been updated to work with Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria, and now Warlords of Draenor, with many new features.

Healium Features
Instructions
After installing Healium, you will want to configure the button count and the button's spells.
Follow these steps
You should see options specific to Healium, including the Button Count slider, and button dropdowns that allow you to pick healing spells for each button. Use the scrollbar on the right to access more options. The spells in the dropdown just include healing and emergency type spells specifically picked by Healium. If you do not see any spells in the dropdown, make sure you are on a character class that actually has heals. The dropdown will only show heals which you actually have currently in your spellbook. Also make sure you are in the spec that has the spells you want to cast because many spells are only available via talents and will not show up if you are in a spec that doesn't have the spell currently. Those talent specific spells will be saved when you switch specs.
The Healium config panel only shows healing and emergency spells. You may actually use any spell you have trained, including buffs by closing the Healium Config Panel if it is open and drag and dropping a spell directly from you spellbook onto any Healium button. Drag them directly to a Healium button, not to the dropdown in the config panel. It's just like dragging a spell to an action bar.
Macros and Items
Macros and Items are now supported in Healium as of 2.0.0. You must use Drag and Drop to configure them both, as neither macros nor items appear in the Healium menus. Macros must use [@mouseover] modifier to work correctly with Healium, otherwise they will use the default macro target logic (usually cast on you or your current target) Here is an example macro for instant Druid's Healing Touch that works with Healium:
Note that if you omit the [@mouseover] it will cast on your current target or yourself, instead of using the target assigned to the Healium button.
Debuff Warnings
For the debuff warning options to work you simply need to assign any curing spells to buttons in Healium and enable the option(s).
Healium Friends
Healium Friends is a Healium frame which allows you to customize the people that appear in it. Anyone who is on your Healium Friends list, and also in your current party or raid will appear in this frame. It will work with people cross-realm as well. Remember, they have to both be on your Healium friends list and also in your current party or raid to show up.
The Healium Friends list is a global list (not specific to a character). That means that all of your alts on a server share the same list.
Management of the Healium friends list is done via these slash commands.
When using /hlm friends add, you may type a name instead of having them targeted. This could be used to add someone offline or otherwise not currently targetable. When you type their name instead of targeting them, make sure you properly capitalize their name, otherwise they will not appear. If you are typing a name for someone cross-realm use this format 'Name-Realm' where there are no spaces before or after the -, but there may be spaces in the realm name, and also make sure you properly capitalize the realm name. Any improper capitalization will result in the user not appearing. It is recommended that you target them when adding, instead of typeing their name, so you don't even have to be concerned about capitalization.
When removing someone via /hlm friends remove, in addition to allowing you to target the person or type their name, you may also specify their 'index'. The index is the index shown next to the player's name via the command /hlm friends list.
