    Healing tips

    As someone who has a lvl 70 WHM let me give my thoughts quick. I have not had any problems healing, some new dungeons can seem more heal intensive but that was mainly because of either my tank or my own gear was not the best it could be for that dungeon. Some people focus too much on the new mechanics based around cure and cure 2. I think of them as extra, don"t hold back on using certain skills because your waiting for them to have a lower cooldown. The time you wait to use that skill is usually greater than the extra time it would have taken to come off of cooldown. Remember to keep your HoTs up 100% of the time, cast your shield ASAP, and remember to use your healing buffs such as largesse.

    DPS tips

    As for damage, this to me has never been a huge priority. Do damage when you can but not at the risk of your party. With this in mind, its always safe to use your DoTs. Aero 3 and Aero 2 are great for dealing damage without stopping you from healing. Assize is another great AOE damage ability that should be used off cool down it instant heals and gives mana. Give up your dreams of topping the DPS charts, you are EXTRA damage not THE damage. Another tip is combining presence of mind and thin air for holy spam.

    Role skills

    Main Role skills
    -Largesse 20% healing with HoTs is OP
    -Swiftcast a must for Rez
    -Lucid Dreaming don't like putting my MP in the hands of others and reduces enimity
    -Protect pure damage mitigation
    -Esuna for status effects

    Others
    -Rescue good as an off healer to replace esuna or protect
    -Eye for an Eye ^
    -Cleric Stance if i had enough confidence in the main healer i would take this instead of Largesse for extra damage
    -Break low damage and heavy not helpful in most boss fights, more of a solo skill
    -Surecast I dont like this skill as if your worried about status effects take esuna and the knockback resistance is very situational.

    Hope this helps all you fellow WHM out there!!!

    I'm going to keep saying this until everyone knows.

    You can easily replace Protect after using it at the start of a battle, or in between pulls. Protect SHOULD NOT be on your bars 100% of the time. It is a complete waste. This argument can easily be used for something like Esuna, but Esuna has to be used in battle so you cannot as easily freely switch it. Also, Esuna is nice to have to help people ho make a mistake, or if you screw up yourself.

    That being said E4E is a good boon to have when running dungeons. It isn't great but it's not terrible either, and having something additional to help you is always a plus. No you can't rely on the mitigation, but when it kicks in it's nice.

    People will inevitably die during raid progression, so having one healer take Protect is still a good idea, dungeons and stuff? Yea take it off once applied.

    Which is (usually) fine for dungeons, but as soon as the raids come out we're going to want that back on the hotbar for rezzes.
