Healing 101 - Not Class Specific

The Syllabus

Over at my blog, http://medicaspam.com/?p=19, I put together a post called “Healing 101″ – the core concepts that you will need to start learning and implementing in order to become an awesome healer. While this particular post assumes little to no knowledge of healing classes, my hope is that the information provided in it will be a good refresher for established healers. We all need to improve, and it’s sometimes the little basics that get forgotten and cause somebody’s death. The topics being covered in this post include:

• Proper mentality of a healer
• Understanding your role in a group
• Positioning and Line of Sight
• Threat Management

It's way too long for the forums, even across multiple posts. Please take a look at it and provide feedback!

An enjoyable read! You clearly put a lot of effort into this. I liked how you touched on the psychological side of the issue as well. =]

This is a decent guide for someone new. But there are always exceptions to the rules and the 'do not do this' comments that you made. In the end, no guide will completely and accurately describe how to heal every encounter. Healing is always going to be dependent on the difficulty of the content, quality and experience level of all players in the group, and gear level of yourself and the tank.
