Couples that raid together in the same guild can be a nightmare to deal with. I’m glad to say I’ve only ever had to deal with a small handful of them. There were some great husband/wife combinations and some not-so-stellar ones. Interacting with them individually can be a chore at times because most couples share … [Read more of this article]

Managed to score Heroic Morchok on Tuesday. Ended up using 6 healers. Another classic 22% wipe, then a 16% wipe, then a 13% followed by an 8% then a kill. Actually, the numbers aren’t precise. But that’s what it seemed like anyway. How to Land 3 Healing Spells in Under 2 Seconds It seems impossible, … [Read more of this article]

Ever wonder what it’s like to feel “high” in this game? This is one of those methods. I’d wager that Holy Priests get a bigger kick out of it then the other healers. Unlike the other clutch healing abilities, Guardian Spirit has two key effects: It offers both increased healing received on the target and … [Read more of this article]

As Javier said in a previous comment: Please answer me a question that I have been wondering forever.

Been meaning to do this for a while. Wanted to analyze all the new proposed talents for the different healing classes to see which ones I would choose if I played that healer.
