started healing again a few weeks ago and have been slowly building a healing set. while not quite there yet (i mean a full set of triumph emblem gear with chants/gems, not the frost stuff - sorry i don't know what tier is what). still playing boomkin as main, but probably healing 90% of the time now for the cue times.

point being, if you can use me for heals don't be shy about asking since I'm doing it all the time now. no raid experience yet, but i suspect that's going to change soon cause i'm starting to pug the weekly raids i miss when i can't go with you guys.

just a fyi.

i also very recently hit 450 with all 3: tailoring, alchemy and JC - if anyone needs anything holler.

Grats man!

For me, healing and tanking are two of the most enjoyable aspects of the game. You are active, involved, and it makes things far more interesting. Of course healing as a Tree is probably the easiest, most efficient, and most enjoyable class to heal with too, so you've got that going for you. I'm lookin' at getting the Shammy up there for the same reason, it's more complex healing than the Pally, and then I can range DPS/heal, melee DPS/tank on two toons, so depending on my mood, I can jump to either.

If you need help lookin' for an item, do the same, shout right back!

hey deep i am grinding heroics about 80% of the time i am on so if you need a tank for insta que'es hit me up in game.

i healed on my druid for months before stopping and going exclusively boomkin. it was because of a few bad experiences in pugs - getting yelled at by tanks under def cap, etc =p - and recently i decided to go back and just deal with it. in the process i discovered i had gone almost 50 levels with my druid being a damned good healer but one that never used lifebloom =p so having discovered lifebloom i'm kind of really enjoying healing again.

the cue times is what it's really all about, but getting all this experience healing has me feeling very comfortable with trying raid healing too if ever needed.

Mmm....trees. For having 4 different healing classes, it is nice to see such variance in the way each class heals. My holy priest for example, it's all about "hey! check out my HUGE....heals!" Holy priests, for that natural E-peen enhancement.

Glad to hear you are enjoying healing again fred....

I quit wow a while ago and one of the reasons were the pugs and healing. I had a shaman and druid healer and loved doing it but it got to be too much for me when arms warrior or ret paladins with no tanking armor would put tank to get into the group faster and would end up screaming at you because they were getting 1-2 shotted lol Its really sad how people blame everyone but themselves in situations like that.

P.S. and the DKs that loved to go fight their own groups of mobs and yell that they died because you were healing the tank and main part

word up on that right there.

i was a pally tank/healer. so i knew both aspects very well. and when a loud mouth tank that wasnt a tank decided to talk smack, i swapped roles and the shaman i always rolled with switched to heals i would show him how a real tank did it. freaking elitest snobs.

its the whole reason i left wow.
