Ok, so I totally stole this from I Like Bubbles, who stole this from Miss Medicina… but whatever.
Post this questionnaire, with your answers, on your blog. Pick the healing class you know most about (or is the focus of your blog) for the questionnaire, and then send it over to another healing blogger you know and love who heals with a DIFFERENT class. Include a link to the blogger who sent you the questionnaire, as well as a link to the blogger to whom you are sending it.
- What is the name, class, and spec of your primary healer?
Aanthe, Resto Druid
- What is your primary group healing environment? (i.e. raids, pvp, 5 mans)
25 man raids, occasionaly 10 man raids.
- What is your favorite healing spell for your class and why?
Swiftmend- because who doesn’t like seeing instant 10k heals on a target?
- What healing spell do you use least for your class and why?
Healing Touch. It takes too long to cast, and if I wanted Flash Heal, I’d play a paladin.
- What do you feel is the biggest strength of your healing class and why?
HoTs! Because, really, that’s all we’re good for.
- What do you feel is the biggest weakness of your healing class and why?
Very limited amounts of direct heals- frankly, HoTs just do not make for great tank healing, I don’t care what anybody says.
- In a 25 man raiding environment, what do you feel, in general, is the best healing assignment for you?
Raid healing- with instant cast HoTs and Wild Growth, plus the occasional Nourish and Swiftmend, I’ve got no problem healing up mass damage.
- What healing class do you enjoy healing with most and why?
Discipline Priests. Their damage mitigation makes me happy, and Penance is shiny!
- What healing class do you enjoy healing with least and why?
Paladins, only because I know quite a few who want to raid heal (Beacon of Light is OP, imo) even though they know they are the best MT/OT healers atm.
- What is your worst habit as a healer?
Healing someone who had just taken damage and now is suddenly back to full health- need to whack- a- mole Grid faster.
- What is your biggest pet peeve in a group environment while healing?
I KNOW YOU NEED HEALS, SHUT UP.
- Do you feel that your class/spec is well balanced with other healers for PvE healing?
We’re OP… HoT mechanics will place the HoT tick above other heals, so we always seem to be healing our tree!butts off, even if we’re just standing there dancing.
- What tools do you use to evaluate your own performance as a healer?
I check meters as a comparison tool (to other druids) and, well, is the raid alive? If so, then I must be doing something right.
- What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about your healing class?
There really aren’t any, we are OP as hell. The complaints are pretty much on the money!
- What do you feel is the most difficult thing for new healers of your class to learn?
WE ARE NOT PRIESTS OR PALADINS. We can’t heal like they do, so we can’t think like they do. Stop being reactive!
- If someone were to try to evaluate your performance as a healer via recount, what sort of patterns would they see (i.e. lots of overhealing, low healing output, etc)?
Me at or near the top going, ‘Whoa…’
- Haste or Crit and why?
Haste! WTB 1 second GCD and 1 second Nourish cast time pl0x.
- What healing class do you feel you understand least?
Holy priests. 5SR? What? You don’t just stack spellpower like me and go crazy? Most of my friends play disc. priests!
- What add-ons or macros do you use, if any, to aid you in healing?
Grid and Clique! Plus a variety of other purely convenience mods.
- Do you strive primarily for balance between your healing stats, or do you stack some much higher than others, and why?
I stack spellpower and haste primarily, though I will get some crit in there once I’ve hit the hastecap and get 4pc T9.
There. I hope that’s somewhat informative, or at least entertaining.
