Randalz -- Resto Shaman

[Randalz1]

The links should be different although i didn't check them out to make 100% sure. Basically i was just trying to show the changes in gear that i currently have depending on whether i'd be single-target healing or more mainly CH'ing, just what i'd use in the given situation or fight.

Currently we don't have a direct spot for shaman, we raid with 3-4 already on average. I tend to be fair on rotating though, so if you'd be interested, you could come as a secondary shaman and get rotated in every now and then. As long as you're okay with this and understand this, I'll trial you.

I think for the moment i'm gonna look for a more stable raid position, because being able to raid often enough is one of the more fun aspects of the game to me. I've got a couple other apps out there, but if there's nothing better than just sitting as a secondary/occasional player, i'll probably come back to here or throw together a new app if the time comes to it.

One of our shaman is now on an undefined length hiatus. If you are still interested, we can trial you next raid reset.

I do feel proud of myself when I see myself at the very top of the healing meters, but for healing, the meter’s don’t really tell all outside of whether you’re over-healing too much or something. I don’t always like to play “how low, can the tank go”, but I do get a rush of a good/fun feeling deep down when I save someone from 5-10% or less with Nature’s Swiftness. I know that from the beginning when I started healing with Redemption I still had work to do and room for improvement, but I feel that over the past 6mths or so I’ve really stepped up my game to a new level especially as some of our previous healers either quit the game or decided to move onto other things. Recently I’ve had a few people come out to tell me that I’ve done a good job healing that night or that I’ve become a really good healer. I’m not sure that I really believe them in a sense though, of I don’t think that I’m really the best out there yet, and that’s what I’d really like to strive to be. In the end as a healer though, there’s really only a few things that it really comes down too. 1) Keeping the low health people alive and healed so that we don’t lose out on needed dps. And 2) keeping myself alive my not dying to stupid things and taking un-necessary raid damage(eg. Void zones/firewalls, missile attacks and the geometry of the mimrion P2&4 laser barrage, shadow crash/life leech, etc……..) I realize that sometimes these mistakes are gonna happen, but more often than not I’m gonna be paying attention to what’s going on around me so that I don’t die. I don’t expect to be topping the healing meter’s if I’m accepted into wlph, but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna try. My main and most minimal goal though is to hold up my end of the bargain and to not fail to a point where I’m putting an extra strain on everyone else. I’m here to progress just like everybody else and I’m gonna do all I can to help whatever guild or team I’m apart of to be the best they can.

This is the best reply to that question I have ever read.
