People exaggerate Vault. The only time you really need to do some focused healing on WHM is some C2s for some cleaves from the first and final boss, and if a DPS walks into bad stuff you have to take care of them. Otherwise same old same old, keep up Divine Seal HoTs, keep up DoTs, Stone III if no Cures are needed, don't go completely OoM while you're doing it.

I've only done it on scholar so it was a pain in the ass, especially when people eat horse footprints like halloween candy. I'm leveling WHM now though and I look forward to Medica II.

You cannot heal stupid.

But then, I donno. I should try to do the impossible and become the first ever healer capable of healing stupid.

You can heal stupid if they let you know they're going to be stupid...

Right, stupid is spontaneous. You don't know when it's coming.

Most of the time you should chose pour spell with their potency and mana cost

On a 8-man fight
If you have to cast more than 3 cure II or 5 cure I
Then go for medica or medica II

You will save so much mana !

(And do not use the "I don't struggle with mana" card... Because you always do... There is always someone to do a mistake while you're enjoying DPS and your tank is stable...)

You can cast cure I for like...forever. Natural mana regeneration + SoS is enough. The main issue with casting/ spamming it is more a problem with not having enough spellspeed that matches the incoming damages sometimes.

If someone is habitually stupid they become predictably stupid in time though.

Healing stupid means spamming cure on a tank with 100% of his life on a pack of 2/3 mob...
So all your heal are overheal

Thats what i call a lazy stupid healing

I think after 7 wipes and almost a time out in the vault it is time for me to consider hanging up my rod. Can't tank for shit, and can't heal through massive AOEs, and I'm a subpar DPS.

to topic:
medica is a spell i dont use that often to be honest, but it has its uses for some quick burst healing. sure it is not super strong, but if you need to, just combine it with devine seal and go. medica is not there to be imba, no skill in the game is (except bene XD), but every one has its fair situations where it shines.

simple rule: "braindead spamming" of whatever skill your finger hits first is never the right way. always try to find the right skill for the situation, with boss mechanics and mp management in mind

tell that my 4k assize aoe crits ;)

WHM has great tools for single target healing and aoe healing, as well as burst single target and burst aoe dmg. it just takes some time to learn advanced mechanics like stance dancing

but if you think WHM is not the right class for you, feel free to switch to another. SCH has its schields and fairy and AST has cards. maybe one of them is better for your playstyle
