Resto shaman questions!

[dawidmilek]

Hello all;)
Due to noone want to answer my questions in game Im writting here.
So lets start.
I"ve got 2890 combat mana regen and Im getting oom too fast. Dropping mana tide totem at 60% mana then comes Mana potion. And this is main thing, every time I' ve getting Potion bug.
1. Mana potion didnt run down Cooldown.... why??
2. How should i heal to not get oom too fast?

Im 350 ilvl geared with spirit on reforge and Int gems mixed with 80 haste in gems.

You can only use1potion each combat, or 2 if you prepot.

Don't spam healing surge and avoid using Greater Healing Wave and Chain Heal. Stick to Riptide and Healing Wave as much as possible. Only use Greater if someone has about 50% hp deficit, Chain heal if you're sure 4 people will get healed (consider it consumes Riptide, regardless of it hitting your first target or not,this is **** bugged). healing Rain should only
Ever be used when 5 people stack up and owing move away from it, tell your group to stay stacked like on Rajh recharge phase for this..

And use glyphed Healing Stream Totem, it not only heals each member 1k healing per 2 seconds, it provides **** tons of resistance, 25-50% resistance to magic damage, which makes healing in aoe magic situations a breeze.

Finally, teach your group to avoid damage. This means just letting then die if they stand in fire and you already used a few GHW on that noob dps. Add Wind Shear to you bars and interrupt **** like Inferno Leap and Force Grip

Good questions, I believe this video is the silver bullet you're looking for.

Warpzone said pretty much everything but I just want to add a really important thing - reforege to crit.

As a 358 resto shaman I reforge mastery and haste to crit and never run oom in raids, I even have a few dps items with no spirit at all. Just don't forget to keep 916 haste. Also, if possible, get the darkmoon card: tsunami trinket, it's probably the best regen trinket.

To answer your other questions, yes, potions work differently now and cooldowns start after you leave combat. And yes, glyph of riptide is better than earthliving. Use earth shield and water shield now, and change water shield to earthliving once you don't have problems with mana regen.

Wasn't it like that before in WotLK?
