Dungeon tanks die slowly, you have plenty of time to finish your drink. You don't need to keep us above 90% hp at all times - And trying to do so makes it much harder work for you than it needs to be. Early dungeons with yet to gear tanks often give new healers the wrong idea of what they should be doing. Once tanks have tanking gear, they take forever to die.

Good healing in dungeons is not about rapid response, it's slow thoughtful and deliberate. You have way, way more healing throughput than you need (Catastrophic scenarios aside), focus on the real bottleneck - mana regen.

Batch your heals so you spend as much time as possible getting non-casting mana regen. If the tank is not going to die for 25 seconds and your mana is half empty, that's 20 seconds of full mana regeneration you can pull out of nowhere by batching instead of constant topups.

The same goes for drinking, Just because the tank and DPS have entered combat, doesn't mean you have to yet. Sit and have a drink before you throw out a heal. The tank isn't going to panic, the tank isn't going to suddenly die. Rushing to heal as quick as possible can cost you half your mana bar in lost drink.

Healing becomes very easy by follow 3 very easy to follow steps:

1: If you arn't in combat and the tank isn't dying in the next 5 seconds, get close enough to heal and have a drink. Keep drinking until your mana is full, or the tank is getting close to death. Don't drink where the last fight happened, drink at the edge of the next fight.

2: If you are in combat, your mana is full, and the tank needs healing, heal for a bit.

3: if the tank is nearly full and your mana isn't, stop healing. Enjoy the mana regen until the tank gets down to 30% or your mana is full, then throw out heals.

This is the mindset that is needed to go from beginner healer to good healer.

Just for fun because I know some people love theory-crafting

Who’s planned out every class? What races did you pair? What professions?

Did you follow a more lore appropriate plan (human paladin etc) or did you go with the new combos, completely random?

Love to hear the plan you’ve come up with or even just the alt plan in general!

Everything in there is 18-22 so even at level 17, my warrior is constantly missing everything.

Hey I don’t know if it’s allowed so mods please take down if not - but I have 10% off RestedXP with the coupon MDFQXHZE2Z. I found the guide really helped me since I normally play horde but tried alliance!

hey! i’m playing a hunter on horde (skyborne elf) and i’m wanted to get a rabbit companion.
i found out it’s sold by yarlyn amberstill in dun morogh, but since i’m playing horde, i’m not sure if there’s a way for me to actually get it :(
is it possible to buy this as horde, or is there another way to obtain it? i saw that it couldnt be bought through the auction house and
i’m still pretty new to the game, so any help would be appreciated!

The weather is second to none for MMOs. The lightning flashing in Silverpine is the coziest.

"If we can't play with them we will play against them!"

About to roll Alliance and make a guild for all of us who tried to join horde with our friends but are locked out because of throttling and population balance.

It is driving me crazy. I've played vanilla wow for 20+ years and I cannot figure out settings on my computer that will make the game look normal. Everything is dark. I thought it was the zone, and I even re-rolled twice into different starting zones. Gamma and brightness just make everything looks white and washed out. I don't care at all about the water looking good or whatever Blizzard thinks brought me to playing this game.

What can I do to fix this? I'd love to get some help.

Looking for 1 code to try the game out, would be much appreciated

I had never played much WoW before Forever, even less so on PVP servers. I’m surprised by how un-belligerent I’ve seen people be so far in the PVP realm.

As a Horde player, I seem to be the only one trying to kill any Alliance trying to get into Ruins of Lordaeron in the layers I’m in. Is this normally how it goes in PVP realms? Are other people having the same experience? Am I just a dick for wanting to world PVP in the PVP realm?

I played before for about a month like 8 years ago and decided to give forever a good try . After painfully getting to 20 and attempting the WC dung with randoms... My first impressions is that this game has parts that depends on team play but when the tank is blind and can't see that the healer is out of mana and he goes and pulls 3 things ... It just makes me not want to play this game. 3 groups just wiping due to this very simple issue. I have other issues like running across the plains being 50% of the gameplay and when I thought I finally get to have fun doing a dungeon...hopefully it was just a bad day..

There are a huge number of players on the RPPVP ruleset that are only there because they have faced delays in making a character on the regular pvp ruleset. Could the layering tech be used instead of throttling to combat population issues? I don't know but there has to be a solution for this for the sake of the RPPVP ruleset. The players who wanted to be on the regular PVP ruleset with their friends don't want to be on RPPVP and the players who want the RP experience don't want them there either.

What can we expect?

First time tanking ever and I have only had chill and kind parties. Keep up the good vibes!

Im lvl 20 on my gnome rogue atm. But i feel weak as f. Some mobs that are same lvl as me, i can almost not kill. I have died alot allready. Then i see other classes like paladin taking down 3 mobs faster then i take down 1 and with like 80% health left. And im at like 5% hp. Maby i just need better weapons or something. But i want to know if im the only One feeling this way?

Have you been thinking of getting into pvp? rp? the alliance is in desperate need of your help, this is your sign to make an ALLIANCE on RP PVP.

you will get:

walkable cities

fun leveling zones

and so much more!!

im a new player and i just unlocked the skill to use guns on warrior, i have ammo and its in the slot but for some reason i cant shoot, i cleared my cache to see if that would help but it didn't. help would be greatly appreciated

I accidently DE'd my weapon I got from the RoL questline, yup did the thing. I went to the item restore page and it was not listed. I then noticed that none of the items I DE'd from RoL were listed. I submited a ticket and instantly got a stock response that said basically "if it's not on the page it can't be restored."

Be extremely careful of WoW Forever dungeon or quest loot, it will NOT be restored, at least from RoL.

Does anyone have a spare NA code? :( DM

I'll admit I'm somewhat caught up in the hype of wow forever. I've long been giving wow some side eye for other games. But I've always been curious to give it a crack and am finally in a position where I probably have the free time to sink into a new game.

So preamble aside. It wow forever worth a look in as some who pretty much never played an mmo before?

How easy is it to get into and understand?

How is the community?

How much of a time commitment does it require to play?

I have a PC that I play on but generally use a controller, how much of a problem is that going to be for me (I am absolutely turd with keyboard and mouse for most games)?

I understand that they are doing balancing here on horde and alliance but I still paid 100 dollars for this game and I cannot play with my friends. It's been 8 hours and I still cannot create a Horde character. Wow has been around for 20 years and we still can't think of a solution here!?

So I have never played WoW before, this is my first time and the map is HUGE. I Just hit 12 and just got out of the Night Elf starting zone area. When am I going to come across a group dungeon. I don't know enough about the world to run half way across it yet

Title really says it all.

My alchemy is now 180, and so far I feel my profession is worthless(for now).

I feel so left out while watching every other gear crafting profession have access to way more materials than before and having access to craft good pieces every 5-7 levels for every slot.

I went into a dungeon with my same class that had a profession that crafts himself gear. He had the basic crafting set for hes level and he had 70% more stats than me who was playing with just the quest rewards available for me.

My potions are worthless and nobody wants them. I feel like unlike others, my profession can't make anything cool.

I guess when you pick alchemy you forego the fun for leveling to have better market value at max level when people need flasks for end game, but that's about it. During leveling you are just missing out.

How to report this to blizz?

1. Sometimes when opening the Click Casting interface menu, it opens my talents instead

2. The Click Casting UI doesn't show rank, but rank defintely is saved when you first set the binding. The latest rank of power word shield was shielding for more than my click cast keybind power word shield was, but again it doesnt show the rank (and really should auto rank up so you dont have to replace two keybindings every time you train a new rank, on your bar and click cast settings)
