The So-Called Fight About 2-Healing
Sometimes, things in the blogosphere surprise me… particularly which posts and issues get attention and which do not. I thought I’d tell a little about my “Wait WHAT?” moments of this week. (Warning: this is a little meta and quite […] Continue Reading →
You’re Doing So Well That Here’s More Work
2-healing. That notion has reared its ugly head with enrage timers. It’s only worked once, on Baleroc, with a very specific composition.
I hate the idea of 2-healing. To me, it feels like a penalty for doing well. We’re […] Continue Reading →
Using GridStatusPriestAOE for Maximizing Priest AOE Spell Effectiveness
OK, this is the most embarrassing thing ever. You see that Group 2 needs healing! No problem, Prayer of Healing to the rescue! You center it on someone and… it hits only that person. Everyone else was out of range. […] Continue Reading →
A Holy Priest Raiding as Disc
After reading about Disc being soooo awesome (compared to Holy), I decided to give it a spin.
I ran a few heroics to train my muscle memory to the disc way and avoid the aforementioned holy habits. I reforged […] Continue Reading →
Balancing Attending Raids and Sitting Out on Team Heal
This is a very simple principle that a lot of people don’t get…
Assigned spots: If you want to be able to raid every time you want to, you need to be prepared to raid when you don’t feel […] Continue Reading →
Circle of Healers 2.0
I got tagged by Kamalia and Apple. For Science!
1. What is the name, class, and spec of your primary healer?
2. What is your primary group healing environment? (i.e. raids, pvp, 5 […] Continue Reading →
You Can Hate Cliques Until You’re In One
As a kid, I was never in a cool clique, or a clique of any kind. Now suddenly, I am, in the most unlikely place – Team Heal.
In fostering a sense of teamwork, […] Continue Reading →
Team DPS and Team Tank Attempt to be Like Team Heal
There have been some discussions in the guild lately about how we can do better raiding as a team. And when we talk about teams, sooner or later we get around to just how AWESOME Team Heal is. Because we […] Continue Reading →
Grid Plugins for Atramedes and Chimaeron
Raiding is srs bzns. While DBM and Bigwigs are good about letting you know raid stuff… sometimes you want those things in your raid frames.
Now, most times, GridStatusRaidDebuff will do the trick. But sometimes you want more info.
GridStatusChimaeron[…]Continue Reading →
How To Keep Interlopers Out Of Your Healer Channel
First the raid leader, then part-time healers, and all of a sudden you have a crowd in your formerly-pristine healer channel.
KICK EM!
Unfortunately you have to use slash commands. Sigh.
Getting the PowahFirst, make sure you’re a moderator. […] Continue Reading →
Making the Most of Your Lightwell
The lightwell (still affectionately known as “lolwell” from the days when it used to suck) is a powerful tool. It costs little mana and it can be used when casting is interrupted. Yet it is incredibly frustrating because it depends […] Continue Reading →
Healing Assignments in the Cata World
Now, I know that a couple of my readers out there are rolling their eyes and declaring “We don’t need no stinkin’ healing assignments.” Yes you do. Seriously. It baffles me how healing teams even function without healing assignments, even […] Continue Reading →
Need Ideas for Healer Channel Name
We still don’t have a healing channel at Eff the Ineffable. I hope to have that remedied before our raid on Friday.
The hitch is what to call the damn thing. I want something short, easy to spell, yet […] Continue Reading →
Why Every Healer Should Care About and Track Shields
You need to see shields for the same reason you need to see hots – so you know whether your heal-target is wearing protection or not (har har). After all, why should you throw hots onto a […] Continue Reading →
Why Every Healer Should Care About and Track Hots
“But Zel,” you say, “I don’t HAVE hots, or rather, I have 1-2 piddly hots that don’t matter much. I’m not a druid. I don’t have to time my hots, be particularly careful not to […] Continue Reading →
Tracking tanks in Grid, revisited
OMG, have you seen the new raid leader tools? Raid leaders can do a role check (Tank, Heals, DPS) for everyone to select a role (no longer do we have to rely on the sloppy “heals in group 5″ technique.) […] Continue Reading →
Tracking Raid Debuffs in Grid
As I’ve been telling you, the center icon is our friend. The center icon is sacred. And the center icon is what you need to use for raid debuffs.
If you are not using the center icon for […] Continue Reading →
Main Tank Indicators In Grid
As promised, I’ll tell you how to mark main tanks in Grid. This method works for:
- Main tanks designated in a raid through the default Blizzard raid interface.
- The person assigned the role of “tank” in a instance

Good News Everyone! Putricide, New Guild, and my Heal-peen
What have we been up to at Murloc Parliament?
A New Guild: Raid Times and Parenty SchedulesAs I mentioned before, we’re now peons. And as peons, we realize that being peons did not completely solve the problem. […] Continue Reading →
