What are some good fights to practice healing as a Whm?

[Veve]

I agree that Niddhog Ex and Thordan are good fights to practice WHM on, mostly at min ilevel though. i260+ it's a cakewalk to heal but before was a bit harder.

Current content that I feel will be good to practice on is a11 and a12 normal modes, in a bad group a11 can be quite challenging. I'm saying that and I've cleared as12 lool.

Just do whatever works for you and take it at your own pace.

Why are you guys suggest minilvl content like t13 or thordan or whatnot? If he would do that, he could just go straight into alex savage or current primals. Wouldnt make a difference.

Older minimum ilvl content can actually be more heal challenging then current content. Sophia Ex is a joke compared to say Thordan Ex healing-wise at i190 or even Nidhogg Ex. This savage tier unless you are going in A11S-A12S thats about it.

A11 normal can be the usual rough house because there is sometimes that healer that doesn't catch the prey, and then of course people who can't dodge telegraphed AoEs. Still the only floor on normal I just refuse to play any other job aside from healer because of the fails.

I'm pretty much the same way about A11 normal. I tried to DPS it a few times and the healer fails were so immense that I only heal A11N just to avoid wasting time.

On that note A11N is a good to practice healing in the current gear iteration thanks to the prey mechanic keeping you aware (or they WILL die) among all the other craziness that happens and people not understanding a good way to dodge mechanics. It'll be frustrating at first until you realize there are something you can't heal due to silly.

Nidhogg EX is a great fight to learn how to play whm it'll teach you raid awareness for bellowing roar on the group, magical tank buster, dodging and weaving while covering towers as well as helping dps the dps check on the adds.

If that doesn't work A11 normal and A12 normal are a great way to test yourself then move onto A9S.

Synced T7 is a hoot all around. Positioning, a healer task, damage never stops ever.

Nidhogg is still a great place too.
