Good morning bobby, yesterday I tried to heal raid finder dragon soul and pulled a mediocre 6k hps. My character is decked in heroic firelands gear. Im using the raid healing preset and I noticed what the problem is, since theres 6 healers more often than not one of them will heal my target and shamwow will cancel his cast because target reached 93% health. Now thats fine in 5 mans where im the only healer but in 25 man last night I had to play manually and got 28k hps on madness of deathwing spamming chain heal so 6-10k is rather weak. Is there a setting we can change so it heals more. Mana isnt an issue as im ilvl 390pve and I have a ton of mana regen.
And theres no point in posting a log because its a feature working as intented. Im just wondering if theres some settings ud suggest. Maybe include a mad healing preset next release haha.

punisher775, I would view it more as you ending up in a good group, but to each his own. There is no purpose in overhealing, so the issue isn't cancelling heals in progress that aren't needed (which a pro healer does.) It's that other healers beat you to the heals because of anticipating the need. A few quick observations:
.
1. There is never a situation where a log isn't needed. In this case, I would be able to see what settings you had in use along with other pertinent information. As it stands, I can only provide advice which you may have already taken. That just ends up wasting your time and mine.
2. Mana regen to Shaman is like money to Gordon Gecko... You can never have enough
3. If the most damaged player has already been healed, there is little point in healing more.
4. Spamming Chain Heal will overheal, but you will also be sniping heals from others since you are casting a heal when it isn't needed.
5. The problem isn't cancelling a heal that isn't needed. The problem is that it didn't begin casting a heal when it wasn't needed, hence 5 other healers had a chance to snipe the heal from you.
6. ShamWOW is reactionary. It does not cast anticipatory heals which I hope a skilled player would.
7. I'll look at possible alternatives for the future, but it's not a high priority compared to some other needs at the moment.
I don't know what settings you had in use (oh were there a log file attached.) Go to the Group Healing tab of the Class Options and do the following:
a. Click the Raid Healing presets button.
b. Enable Heal Pets
c. Change Healing Wave to 97%
d. Change Chain Heal to 96%
e. Do not change anything else
You will now cast more heals and sooner, as well as overheal more (thus burning through more mana than you should.)
wait so recount takes into account overhealing? i was sure it didnt wich meant that the bot was doing nearly nothing lol.
and thats why i said it was working as intented but i would like to bot to do healing rain a little more often and whatnot. because other healers seem to heal ppl as im casting a heal wich in turns makes the bot cancel the cast, but then the same person gets damaged as i cancel the cast so he starts casting again.... anyways im not sure if you understand what i mean but ill try it in 10 man raids and see how it does.
is this good enough for regular dragon soul with ilvl 380 healing gear?
There is a healing rain preset button. If you use that, make sure you have specced your character appropriately as it requires a different build to use successfully.
Thanks for the post and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53
If you're worried about the not so bright ones only looking at HPS and not effective healing... setting your presets extremely high might be your best option. Technically, it's working as intended (if not better than intended). The point of this CC is to heal people, not to overheal people. Unfortunately in raids people think HPS is all that matters. "Look how many times I can cast my AoE heals! I'M THE BEST HEALER EVER!"
You'll have such a small amount of overhealing it's ridiculous. The amount of true effective healing this bot does can't be touched by most, if any one. Wish Recount would default the "Healing done" to "Effective healing done"
Obliv, Absolutely correct. Thanks for your contribution. Bobby53
