00:00 Intro
00:17 Understanding Mastery
00:45 Spell Overview
07:20 Healing Rotation
09:07 Damage Rotation - Ігри
Talents, Stat Priorities, Additional Spells, and Further gameplay tips will be talked about in the full class guide I make once Dragonflight launches.
The beginners guide is aimed towards players just picking up the class for the first time.
My friends laughed at me when I asked for the healing rotation
They said what kind of rotation? Just Heal.
Welp xD know I can prove them wrong
For all the new healers out there, don't get discourage when you get blamed for the mistakes of tanks and dps. I find healing very rewarding especially when you are the last one up and having to dps the boss down to save the run.
thanks for the comment. Nearly every run in mythic+ I get blamed for the deaths and get laughed at. Even though we finish the run in time. It is so frustrating as a healer...
@@Klabauterfra I main holy pally and I’ve never experienced this, at least not frequently by any means. people blame the tank the majority of the time in keys and raids in my experience.
If it’s happening nearly every run then, you know, common denominators and all that. It’s at least worth a look into before coming to the conclusion that people are targeting you for no reason.
“I receive criticism nearly every time I do this thing I can’t possibly be the issue it’s definitely other people” is just how your comment sounds to me. Which granted may be true, but as a healer for long long time I find a little hard to believe.
People also tend to take the most innocuous of constructive feedback as egregious personal attacks so there’s that too. Not saying anything one way or the other, I don’t know you, just that it’s worth taking a look at yourself when encountering the same issues over and over
I have found healing in Retail to be very unrewarding. Combine that with a it being a main that underperforms in the open world, and you have an experience that is lacking, for sure.
Holy priest in Classic is so much more rewarding.
Lol, got booted because I couldn't keep the DPS warrior alive.....healed hum more than anyone. He was acting as a tank and would just drop half his life
I've played enough toxic counter strike to not get discouraged by anything
exactly the kind of guide i was looking for. no extraneous information. i just needed to know which spells i can use to keep my friends alive. Too many guides make it complicated when i don't have context for complicated.
I'm newer to the game and i've had trouble finding guides that weren't aimed at people who already kinda know what they're doing. same goes for interface modifications.
Bro beans.. what a damn beautiful guide. This is exactly what I've been looking for. There is no fluff and no reason to skip through this video at all. I usually have to watch at 1.25x or 1.5x speed just because of how poorly or overly complicated some things are explained, but your beginner level explanations are fantastic! I really appreciate how you took the time to categorize each chunk of spells together as well as provide separate healing and damage rotations. Your visual representation has so much to be desired and really makes it clearer to define what should be prioritized. I like this more than searching through guides after guides to then just have people say "copy this build" while rambling about spells/random scenarios in no particular order with no visual demonstration of what they're talking about. You da man
Thank you for this feedback. The beginner guides are a staple I will continue to provide and update throughout each new expansion :)
Couldn't agree more.
Dude these are so good. Thank you for taking the time to do these.
Thank you! I look forward to providing tons of Dragonflight Content :)
Dude thank you so much for this. Some guides can be incredibly overwhelming for beginners to a spec but this guide made it so stupid easy. You got a sub out of me!
As I new priest player I couldnt ask for more after playing warrior for the last 3 expansion 😂
Thank you
The best guide out there by a mile !! So happy to have found you, subscribed
Thank you for this informative, yet straightforward guide. I was away for a while, and there have been many changes. I was having some trouble catching up, and other guides were too confusing. I may have caused a few wipes on some dungeons. However, this video helped me perfectly, and I am now having successful runs.
So close to deciding to main healer ( play healer even ) for the first time because of your beginner guides , thankyou !
Thanks for this simple guide. Coming from holy paladin. This has made sense of the priest basics and am enjoying the class! Subscribed
Dude, this is an AMAZING guide. Thanks for speaking slowly, giving us time to think, absorb and look at the game.. Great job! Got a sub, like and such.
Great video! Very clear. Exactly what I needed
just found your channel - this is exactly what I was looking for... good presentation, thank you
Thankyou! I really needed a basic guide for healing! Helps alot
Jut came back to WoW after many years away and tried priest for the first time. I had 5 consecutive dungeon party wipes as I had no idea what I was doing. This video was extremely helpful. Thanks heaps.
Mistakes are necessary. Don't be to hard on yourself and just focus on the basics and you'll be just fine
@@Moarcookiezlive already got some great successful runs in after adjusting to suggestions from this video :D
I just started the class w/ a lvl60 boost and was pretty overwhelmed by all the different healing buttons. I appreciate this giving me a "dumbed down" handful to focus on to start with. Thanks!
Exactly what I needed, thanks!
This video standalone is a good enough reason to subscribe. Good job man!
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for creating a true guide for the beginners. Can’t jump to the advanced stuff without understanding the baseline first.
I’m so glad I found your guide. I have a holy priest yet I’m so scared to get into raids not knowing what healing spells to use. This is great and gives me confidence to play my healer. Ty much
Perfect video, thanks!!!!
Thank you for this !
this is great man thank you so much for this!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video I jumped In my first normal and was completely lost
This is an amazing video🎉
Thank you for the simple, easily digestible guide.
Thank you for leaving a comment :]
Thank you for the great videos!
Thank you for leaving a comment :)
perfect guide to not get overwhelmed when starting to be the healer!
Thank you, exactly what I needed. Played dps all the time, but the team needs a healer. I had no idea what to do before this video.
thanks bro I'm pretty dumb and even I understand my rotations after this guide
Omg the target named Subscribeplz 😂. I’d like to see more content like this. It was a very helpful and easy overview of the spec which is great for a newish wow player like me. My only feedback is to zoom in more. We want to see the pretty effects too. Thanks!
Got it. Thank you for the feedback!
Great vid man! Returning to WoW Retail after jumping away from Shadowlands since its launch haha. I am a healer main and this was basic, to the poing and what I needed to see.
Thank you! Happy to provide useful content for players just like you!
thanks a lot for this!
Expect to see it updated with a new version for every new expansion release :)
Really good.
Perfect beginner guide
Hey MOAR, first of all thank you for these beginner guides, it's well explaned and easy to follow. In every expension i'm doing M+ with some friends (5 stack). I'm a DPS main but I will need to heal this expension. What are the easiest classes for a guy like me who never played healer before (and don't want to let the group down :P ) ? Thank you ! Frank
I'd recommend holy priest or resto shaman!
@@Moarcookiezlive Thank you for the follow up :)
Thanks for the guide :) Quick question, do you ever use just the regular heal spell? or is it just too slow/weak to ever really use
Yes, there will be talent builds you take that will want you to use flash heal, Ill be talking about talent builds in the next video :)
@Fractal I’ve mained holy priest for years, and I use Heal as my main single target filler, I only use Flash Heal when I have a free proc or when I need to heal someone FAST and serenity is on cooldown. If you spam flash heal you’ll run out of mana VERY quickly.
finally a guide that doesnt require you to have a fuck ton of knowledge already
yes
Great video! I normally use power word shield as a holy priest. You didn't mention it at all. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
It can be useful for an instant quick absorb and while your on the move and so on. So it's good.
I just didn't include it for beginners since you can get by without it
I would like to add a little clarification that goes into detail regarding mastery. Do not fall into the mastery cliché, thinking that all your healings depend on it. Increasing only mastery is the biggest mistake you can make, as every single secondary stats has value and all of them affect it positively. Holy priest does not revolve around stats, but rather simple and effective gameplay.
thanks
Can you share what healing addons you use/recommend? Ive been trying to use healbot but feel like its limited.
I recommend...
1. Weakauras
2. Big Wigs
3. Elvui (optional)
I have profiles and more info in my discord (link in the description) just look for the #addons-n-weakauras channel in there or dm me if you have any other questions as I'm currently on mobile.
How would you recommend the keybinding layout? What key should I have certain powers on ETC
Check out my Ready Check Workshop series.
I have a keybinds video where I go over that. I'd link it directly but I'm on mobile sorry 😞
1 question: you know all your abilitys and hotkeys by heart and deactivate the action bars? by the way, nice videos -- subscribed :)
Yes, my action bars hide in combat.
@@Moarcookiezliveholy... respect :) ty for your fast answer
My absolute problem every time playing fully holy priest is I don’t ever take care of myself!!! 🙄 I’m always so focused on everyone else’s health bars I don’t even pay attention to healing myself. I even moved my character box right in my face
Is flash heal generally more efficient than heal in terms of casting time/amount of hp recovered/mana usage? Should I opt for flash heal instead of heal or would it be better to have both close by on the action bar?
I would have both available. It depends on the talents you take, that will determine if you cast more flash heal + heal or prayer of healing + circle of healing.
To keep it short though, talents should guide you on what buttons you'll be pressing more
What is the add on you use for healer? To get the rectangular boxes to aid in healing? I want to start healing!
Elvui unit frames. Message me on discord and I'd be happy to help you set it up :)
1:23 Min.: Prayer of Healing sucks your Mana hard down and you vorget the Heal spell. Mostly use you Prayer of Mending and Flash heal and let the Tank then Drops a bit 2 gave him than a huge heal in his face with this 2 buffs the 2 Set Piece Boni and the Light Waver Boni.
Both fit realy well 2gether in my eyes ^^
I just specced holy...Unsure of how to best target people to cast a heal. At first I was clicking each standard party frame then casting...Another priest had said to enable "hover over to cast" option...which seemed to help a little. What other addons should I be using for healing mythics and raids?
I just use mouseover casting like you mentioned. I don't use anything else special besides Elvui which is just to change the look of the unitframes.
I’m curious, should we level as holy also? Or do I need to learn shadow spec too?
You can level as a healing spec just fine. You certainly lose just a bit of speed compared to doing Shadow but its really not that bad.
So it's safe to say that spells like PW: Shield and Renew are generally not worth using?
To start yes. But depending on the patch. You usually want to apply atonement in raids with whatever is the lowest cost spell.
sitting in a game knowing you don't need to worry about healing potions is just fun 😂...that goes for all games..
New healer here. What about renew and circle of healing?
Circle of healing you can press on cooldown as it is a pretty efficient spell for its cost. Renew you will not be pressing much if at all, there are talents that will cast it for you without you needing to manually cast it.
@@Moarcookiezlive Thank you for the quick response. I have been doing it wrong then. I have been using renew in raids on people to keep them topped off before some damage comes in. Then revert to AoE heals to heal them. I need to move that spell to a less used binding then.
Total noob here. I can't figure out how to display the healing numbers on the nameplates...
Should be in the in game settings (Interface > Display incoming heals) not 100% sure if this is it but either way the setting is somewhere in there
DO you not use Power word shield ?
You do. I left it out of the beginners guide because it's mostly just used in mythic+ dungeons
@@Moarcookiezlive yeah sorry i am just about so watch you second video about mythic :D!
It increases regrowth by 100% but dies NOT consume the buff, empowering all of your regrowths during convoke
Its basically another defensive, mostly i use it on myself when i know damage is coming.
Man, how to get the same hud?
All of my addon profiles and weakauras can be found in the community discord linked in the description :)
Elvui
Bigwigs
Weakauras
0:34 Min.: 20% is 2 much AND 2 less. 4 m+ u dont need the mastery and 4 raid you want 2 be by 40/50% of it.
If i rember right its was so in shadowlands ^^
How much uptalk do I need to apply to make this work? 😂
Sorry I'm missing the point here. Is this a reference to my delivery in the video or something else. Sorry it's been a while since I recorded that so I don't remember everything
@@Moarcookiezlive It's so much uptalk it's distracting.
What about shield?
Power Word: Shield now has a cooldown tied to it. So you can use it on cooldown and then for ramping you can spam it if you press Rapture.
@@Moarcookiezlive thanks but I’m playing holy. Very nice guide for a newbie healer :)
@@Metsmaster718 Oh woops sorry didn't see the video this comment was left on lol.
Typically as far as I know, you won't be pressing power word shield unless you have talents that incentivise you to use it.
Renew?
No we don't really manually press it. We have lots of talents or abilities that apply renew for us
0:18 Min.: I be here because my gameplay dont got so good like i was in Schadowlands where i got my kshs and ksms.
The reactiv playstyle is fully mine. I hate it 2 be honest how the more predictalbe healers works and the schields etc feels like they did nothing and yeah the holy has also a shield but i be honest with you: 10k hp be nothing so i not even has bind it because its like the shield dont exist like i waste my global 4 nothing. Have a great day.
your average 12% win is highly discplined in the average array of gameplay if played right you don't feel like you'r losing if however you don't know what you'r spells are doing its just better to get boosted and not worry about politics anything to do with the books behind that tree over there with the treant's isn't a lackluster for you're siblings
I tried really hard a few times to decipher this. Don't get boosted, get good with practice and patience :]
I really feel like this guide is lacking for not mentioning Heal. Mana does matter even in normal dungeons, and you're setting people up for OOM failure by not mentioning it.
Every solution carries problems. A true beginners guide has to cut things out and I feel confident in players abilities to figure out the difference between heal and flash heal (especially since there are talents like lightweaver that help inform the player the use of heal as a spell)
@@Moarcookiezlive fair enough. I'm not a WoW content creator (I make wildly unpopular bullshit on Tiktok about random BS), but I do try to mentor other Holy Priests and you have given me a good base to build on for them. One of my mentees actually sent this to me and giving them nuance wasn't hard with your base. And Lightweaving is such a clutch dungeon talent.
