Basic Principles for WHM - What and what not to do.

[VanilleFang]

I had thought about doing something like this before because most of the guides I see online for WHM are terrible and we don't have any job specific threads like they do in the DPS forum.

That aside I have a few things to point out.

1. Shroud of Saints actually cuts your current enmity in half. It doesn't reduce the amount of enmity you generate when it is active, it instead cuts it by 50% the instant you use it. This makes it a good tool to avoid pulling hate or making your OT's life easier in some encounters. It does have a nice refresh on it though.

2. You mention a "few" macros but don't really go into detail. I personally only use a macro on my Raise spell to inform people who I'm raising so I can't really help much with this. Sorry.

3. I don't recommend using Repose. I used it a bit when I was leveling but found that it was generally a waste of MP. Other players either ignored it or they were casting a lot of AoEs. The only dungeon I really found any use for it was in Thousand Maw.

4. It may be a good idea to go into depth about certain spells that may otherwise seem useless or less useful. I'm referring mainly to Cure III, Stoneskin, and Eye for an Eye. These spells are kind of big question marks to newer healers and it could be useful to discuss when they are useful and how they function.

Edit: 5. You need more info about SCH in here. Mainly Eye for an Eye being a scholar ability as well, and all of the different buffs they bring and what they do (eg. Fey Illumination, Sacred Soil, Galvanize, Few Glow), because these are important for a WHM to know. Just like its important for a SCH to know what a WHM brings and what their buffs do.
I may think of more later. There are a lot of opinions in this forum though so you shouldn't only take my word.
