[0:00] welcome to the Mythic plus pug healing
[0:03] guide 2023 my name is Bowser the Healer
[0:06] and if you're not a Healer player don't
[0:08] worry there's still a lot of very good
[0:10] Mythic plus information here but then
[0:13] eventually we're going to transition
[0:14] into more healing based things so if you
[0:15] want to get into the mind of a Healer
[0:16] you're also in the right place down
[0:18] below I'm going to have everything I can
[0:20] possibly grab linked my add-ons my
[0:23] profiles my Wii cores you name it I'm
[0:25] going to try to have it down below no
[0:27] pay walls no nothing like that I only
[0:28] ask that you hit the like button if you
[0:30] like the video and you get subscribed if
[0:32] you want more content like this but
[0:33] there's a ton to go through let's get
[0:35] into it use the comment section if you
[0:36] have any questions Mythic plus culture
[0:39] so it's a bit of a wild west out there
[0:41] my only request to you as a player is
[0:44] that you're personally responsible for
[0:45] your place so if you have something like
[0:47] Nvidia Shadow play like an instant
[0:49] replay system that's wonderful for
[0:51] double checking things that go wrong or
[0:53] things that go incredibly well you can
[0:55] use things like details to track damage
[0:57] taken or deaths to kind of see what
[0:59] people were doing wrong or getting him
[1:00] by the most there's lots of tools out
[1:03] there and players they're gonna vary
[1:05] you're gonna have groups that do amazing
[1:06] in groups that do terrible you're gonna
[1:08] have people calling you out for mistakes
[1:10] that are completely right you got to
[1:11] take that on the chin and just learn and
[1:13] then you're gonna have people calling
[1:14] you out for mistakes that have no idea
[1:16] what they're talking about so try not to
[1:19] get too personally invested right if a
[1:21] group falls apart try to be nice and
[1:23] just go next it's the best advice I can
[1:26] give okay on to some weak auras we got
[1:29] two here they're both gonna display in
[1:30] the party finder window and these make
[1:32] finding groups a heck of a lot easier
[1:34] the server region names is going to tell
[1:36] you where the group is located that's
[1:39] going to help you avoid any unnecessary
[1:41] lag and so you don't have to memorize a
[1:42] bunch of server names and where they are
[1:44] the week or for class colors is just
[1:46] going to display what classes are in a
[1:49] key they're not going to necessarily be
[1:50] able to give you specializations outside
[1:52] of uh the process of elimination it can
[1:54] be great to go into a dungeon knowing
[1:56] hey this group has two battle resses or
[1:59] oh there's a there's a there's a priest
[2:01] in this party we're gonna have mass
[2:02] dispel that sort of thing is an absolute
[2:05] godsend and also if you want to find a
[2:07] good meme key right like four Warriors
[2:09] and a Healer or a whole monk party this
[2:13] is another great way to find those keys
[2:15] I have some pretty strong opinions about
[2:17] this one deadly boss mods and bigwigs I
[2:20] honestly think basically every player
[2:22] should have them installed if you don't
[2:23] like how invasive they are they're very
[2:26] customizable so I highly recommend
[2:28] customizing them but we we know this
[2:31] from Esports we know this from Sports
[2:32] and from rally racing and all sorts of
[2:34] disciplines having call outs just helps
[2:37] with the mental stack it helps players
[2:39] focus on their gameplay while still
[2:41] doing mechanics it's great it's super
[2:44] useful highly recommend you set it up I
[2:46] would not be entering Mythic Plus
[2:47] without it it's it's simply too good
[2:50] it's too strong and it'll make you a
[2:52] better player if you're the Keystone
[2:54] holder and it's your run that you're
[2:56] posting make sure that you initiate a
[2:58] ready check you can use Slash RC for
[3:00] this and a pull timer once everyone's
[3:03] ready with Slash pull slash pull by
[3:05] default will do 10 seconds players have
[3:07] pre-pull things to do but they always
[3:09] want to set up and even if they don't
[3:11] it's a nice polite way to tell people to
[3:13] Tab out of whatever internet browser or
[3:15] something that they're doing and be
[3:17] ready to play
[3:18] for learning dungeons I have a couple of
[3:21] piece of advice first and foremost the
[3:23] Mythic plus dungeon Journal actually
[3:25] gives you a ton of information short
[3:27] reads great for bosses it's a good start
[3:29] but if you need more my best advice is
[3:32] find a favorite YouTuber go watch them
[3:34] do a run on Twitch or on YouTube and
[3:37] you'll get a general sense of the route
[3:39] if you want to get into the nitty-gritty
[3:41] though Mythic dungeon tools is an add-on
[3:43] that's simply a mapping tool for routes
[3:45] and you can click into every single mob
[3:47] see what they cast see what kind of CC
[3:49] is uh usable on them incredibly powerful
[3:52] tool but what if that intimidates you a
[3:55] whole percent business well unless
[3:56] you're a tank it's not really your job
[3:58] so you'll learn those magical little
[4:00] percent numbers as you play try not to
[4:03] make that something you're stressing
[4:04] about as a Healer because we already
[4:06] have enough things to stress out about
[4:08] interrupts CC and off healing for your
[4:11] DPS player are mandatory at this point
[4:14] in World of Warcraft so make sure you
[4:16] have them on hand and they're easy to
[4:18] hit you will learn as the key levels go
[4:20] up some moves you have to interrupt them
[4:23] and then other moves can be ignored but
[4:25] as that key level goes up there are some
[4:28] things that go from like oh that hurts
[4:30] to oh that's lethal details is an add-on
[4:32] that lets you track DPS in healing but
[4:35] it also lets you track a ton of other
[4:36] things too and one of the ones I
[4:38] mentioned earlier are track some deaths
[4:40] it's not toxic to see why people died
[4:43] it's in fact super useful because you
[4:46] can learn some very Niche things about
[4:47] the game and you can also learn like hey
[4:49] what move is that oh I could have
[4:50] interrupted that or oh that's a frontal
[4:52] I didn't know that mob had a frontal and
[4:54] that kind of information again it just
[4:57] saves lives so have a death window thank
[4:59] me later okay so now on to more of the
[5:02] healing side of things Mana management
[5:04] is important on every single healer
[5:06] first of all make sure you are talented
[5:08] into your Mana region of whatever your
[5:10] class does and learn how to play in low
[5:13] Mana spend time reviewing what you can
[5:15] do that doesn't cost a ton of Mana see
[5:18] if you have any combinations or spells
[5:20] that you can use that might be even Mana
[5:22] positive it is important that we yell
[5:24] the tank sometimes that we need a drink
[5:26] before we go into the next boss fight
[5:27] but I've had bosses that get pulled and
[5:31] I'm at 20 mana and what do you do you
[5:33] gotta work with what you got so the
[5:35] better you can manage your Mana the
[5:37] easier your life is but make sure you
[5:39] have a stack of Mana pots around it's a
[5:41] very good investment make sure you speak
[5:43] up as a Healer you are in control of the
[5:46] lives of the team so telling people use
[5:48] personals or Focus this enemy down will
[5:50] help save you the amount of healing you
[5:52] need giving you a little more free time
[5:53] free time is useful for doing damage or
[5:56] interrupting things or positioning my
[5:58] favorite line to say of all time is
[6:00] during no coup defensive during the
[6:02] storm boss I'll say move in on storming
[6:04] or die works every time another good one
[6:06] is watch for frontals or stop getting
[6:09] hit by frontals again it's okay to say
[6:12] those things don't worry about it plan
[6:14] your cooldowns as the key levels get
[6:16] harder fortified and tyrannical hit very
[6:19] different you'll have very hard phases
[6:21] of damage but they might vary from week
[6:23] to week or from pull to pull and it's
[6:25] not Universal sometimes it's class to
[6:27] class I have some setups in the Ruby
[6:28] Life Pools or preservation evoker to
[6:31] deal with the blazebound Destroyers and
[6:33] their infernal cast yeah I gotta save
[6:34] temporal anomaly and cycle my cooldowns
[6:37] correctly but like yeah I could just
[6:39] spin on mystreeper so it's important to
[6:42] plan things out but just remember that
[6:44] it's not always going to be the same
[6:45] across all healers okay I'm gonna try
[6:47] not to scare anyone with this one doing
[6:49] short math on incoming damage so let's
[6:52] say a spell hit someone for 40 of their
[6:54] health bar that means in theory that if
[6:57] they are 40 health and they get hit they
[6:59] would die but that's also sort of
[7:01] cutting it close right so I always like
[7:03] to give them a 10 20 Health buffer ah
[7:06] that spell does about 40 damage or 40
[7:08] percent of their health right okay then
[7:10] I'm not gonna let them drop below 50 or
[7:12] 55. there are situations where you can't
[7:15] just keep people topped up as a Healer
[7:17] and so it's important while you're doing
[7:19] damage or interrupting or whatever the
[7:20] heck you're doing that you can stop and
[7:22] go hey that person's a little low I
[7:25] don't want them to die one thing you can
[7:26] do that really helps though is making
[7:27] sure that your plates are set up your
[7:29] enemy nameplates are set up in such a
[7:31] way that you can see who they are
[7:33] targeting for their next cast this is
[7:35] great for a you can know who's about to
[7:37] get double bolted by something and B
[7:39] it's also useful for oh that one's gonna
[7:41] hit the tank okay well the Tank's fine
[7:43] the tank can handle it or hey that
[7:45] Warrior probably has spell reflect up I
[7:47] can let them reflect it and of course if
[7:49] they don't reflect it you should go
[7:50] check if spell reflect is now on
[7:52] cooldown
[7:53] speaking of omni CD is an add-on that I
[7:56] use that lets you track cooldowns most
[7:58] things show up in Omni CD I'll have my
[8:00] profile down below that covers most
[8:02] mitigation active mitigation and health
[8:04] pods it's really important to know when
[8:07] your tank has absolutely no gas left and
[8:10] you need to start babysitting them or if
[8:12] a player has been targeted by too many
[8:13] mechanics you can see they have nothing
[8:15] left you can put a bubble on them or
[8:17] whatever you need to do to keep them
[8:18] alive and while we're on interface make
[8:20] sure for whatever you use for party
[8:22] frames you can see debuffs make sure
[8:25] it's very visible as the dbm and bigwig
[8:28] Style mods don't always call out every
[8:30] nasty disk spell I know lvui has a
[8:33] feature where the health bar would turn
[8:34] like an alternative color when there's a
[8:36] dispel you can manage features like this
[8:38] are a game changer especially for new
[8:40] healers Health pods you should have a
[8:43] fat stack of these within easy reach as
[8:46] a Healer you don't really use them when
[8:47] DPS use them you use them when you're
[8:49] busy healing other people and can't stop
[8:51] to heal yourself their own gcd so you
[8:54] can use them right after casting a spell
[8:56] or right before you cast a spell it's
[8:58] very very important that you don't die
[9:00] as the Healer damage is time save I have
[9:03] an entire video on this topic if you
[9:05] want to watch it once you're in the 15
[9:07] and Beyond category I want you to start
[9:09] knowing how to weave in your damage
[9:11] there's footage that's been playing this
[9:13] whole time I had a super close Temple of
[9:14] the Jade serpent 23 it went down to a
[9:17] couple of seconds if you do the math of
[9:19] the combat time and my percentage of
[9:21] damage you'll find out that in that boss
[9:23] fight alone I save 12 seconds due to my
[9:25] DPS yeah if if I wasn't doing damage we
[9:28] probably didn't time that boss fight
[9:30] it's that important at high level play
[9:32] be flexible coming up with their own
[9:35] builds is fun and it's more than viable
[9:37] and I encourage it but as the content
[9:39] gets harder especially towards the 20
[9:42] range or whenever gear score starts
[9:43] letting up make sure you have
[9:45] cross-reference The Meta builds metagame
[9:48] is inevitable and I've also done an
[9:50] entire video on that on my old Channel
[9:52] but there will be a point where you run
[9:55] into trouble healing or doing damage or
[9:57] helping control a pack and you can't be
[9:59] doing something subpar if it starts
[10:01] costing entire runs this isn't a huge
[10:04] deal again until that 20 and Beyond
[10:07] category you can get away with a lot of
[10:09] fun builds it's very important as you
[10:11] start getting better at the game that
[10:12] you do cross-reference more meta builds
[10:14] so you can understand the why and the
[10:16] how that being said sometimes there are
[10:19] easier builds that work well with
[10:21] different stat weights so if you're
[10:22] learning a class and something is a
[10:24] little bit easier to start off with for
[10:26] healing it's okay to use that while
[10:28] you're learning just again be sure to
[10:30] cross-reference the more meta builds so
[10:32] that as you get better you can swap to
[10:34] maybe more efficient talents also note
[10:36] that the game gets easier the more your
[10:38] rotations and buttons become second
[10:40] nature this is something I see across
[10:43] all of Esports but the less time you
[10:44] need to spend looking at your bars and
[10:47] the more time you could say focus on the
[10:49] fight itself in your party frames the
[10:51] easier your life gets but this is a time
[10:54] thing let your brain do its whole
[10:56] neuropathway thing and learn it will
[10:58] come to you I really wish I had a list
[11:01] like this when I was first learning how
[11:02] to learn there were a lot of pieces of
[11:04] information that players weren't telling
[11:06] me about Dungeons and about runs that I
[11:08] just wish I had a better understanding
[11:09] of start with low Keys there's nothing
[11:12] wrong with learning on the lower end of
[11:13] things as you work up the gear score and
[11:16] the ability to start doing higher keys
[11:18] but that's going to do it for this video
[11:20] again hit like if you liked it hit
[11:22] subscribe if you want more and I will
[11:24] see you all in the next one take care
[11:26] friends
