Some Sort Of Strategy For End Game Raids

Personally I'm not much of a fan of +healing in raids. It's definitely awesome for 5-man (both for healing faster and saving mana). But with multiple healers in big raids? the bigger your heals are, the more you're going to overheal.

CTRA prevents overhealing.

We usually have 5 Druids, 5 Priests and 5 Shamans with us, so no lack of healers. Like I said, i sometimes receive a bit of healing and im usually quite glad then, but i can't rely on it. Anyway, just use bandages and healthstones and you'll be fine, since you shouldn't get aggro anyway. Often you can avoid being hit by an AoE of a boss or if you do get hit, just deal with it.

PS: from my own experience: Maggie fights last quite long, since he got some insane amount of HP. Luci and Gehennas (they're quite similar to fight) don't last so long but still a couple of minutes (you have to take the adds down as well). At Garr I know for sure that the fight is lasting around 10 mins, since i'm on banishing duty there and I cast CoS on the mob which lasts 5 mins. And I have to recast it during the fight. Shazzrah is a very fast fight. After like 3 mins either he is dead or you. Geddon is the funniest fight so far ("You are the Bomb!" Whee!), can't really say how long this one takes. Dunno about the other bosses yet, but since 4 bosses are down now, i think we might get a try or two on Golemagg on Monday (never even saw him so far). /cheer

Edit: BTW: W00t, we got our second legendary drop on Thursday (I wasn't there though). One of the rogues got now both halves http://thottbot.com/?i=37684]Bindings of the Windseeker

afaik - CTRA CAN be set to auto-cancel a heal u are casting in combat on 'target x' - if 'target x' health is above a certain percentage - eg MT is at 75% health, u start casting a heal - someone else casts and lands a heal first putting MT bk up to fine health - CTRA ceases ur cast before it lands - mana conservation

it doesnt - dictate th amount of heal u are casting, factor in +healing or a poss crit heal etc etc and tailor ur heal to fit - that wud be like CTRA playing ur class for you - it also doesnt make ppl act sensibly in raids, ignore heal meters and heal appropriately either :/

i was quoting a post to give some info on mana regen to anyone interested is all some ppl may find it vaguely useful ... or not.
