Mana Management
Healers rely heavily on mana.
Before difficult encounters, check healer mana.
A healer with no mana cannot keep the group alive even if the AI is functioning correctly.
Allow time to recover between difficult pulls when needed.
Positioning
Healers should normally remain away from unnecessary melee damage.
Use:
stay
when you need the healer to remain in a safe location.
Use:
follow
while traveling.
Line of Sight
A healer must usually have line of sight to its healing target.
Problems can occur around:
- walls
- pillars
- doors
- stairs
- terrain
- elevators
If healing suddenly stops, verify positioning.
Priest Healers
Priests provide a broad healing toolkit that may include:
- direct healing
- group healing
- shields
- dispels
Paladin Healers
Holy Paladins are strong single-target healers and are particularly useful for tank healing.
Shaman Healers
Restoration Shamans provide:
- direct healing
- group healing
- chain healing
- totems
Druid Healers
Restoration Druids specialize heavily in healing-over-time effects and mobile healing.
Healing Tanks
The tank normally receives the most incoming damage.
Make sure:
- the healer can see the tank
- the healer has mana
- the tank is not too far away
- the tank's gear is appropriate
See Playerbot Tanking.

Run:
autogear
after major level increases or equipment changes.
