Druid raid healing design problem Redux

By Lissanna | Published: December 30, 2010

Healing Dungeons at level 85

By Lissanna | Published: December 12, 2010

So, the forums are full of healer tears over having to re-learn how to heal in Cataclysm. To make things worse, we went from being superheroes (in our high-end raid gear from WotLK) to being total scrubs in blues & greens. So, lets take a look at what is going wrong for many of my [...]
