now during your healing downtime between mobs time your heals between med ticks. that is, sit and wait for meditate to tick, then cast the heal, then sit and wait for the med tick again.

the result will be nearly full mana regen of the heal you just casted, and mana will stay full. this means shorter down time between pulls. you also benefit from a natural regen tick cause you are sitting when it ticks. this is basically the shaman canni-dance applied to heals.


a quick tip for mob selection while soloing; solo in out doors where all of your skills are max useful. track sort on "consider" and find the blue mobs that are just above the light blues. these mobs will provide good exp and you'll mow them down.

these two strats together is win.


................................and remember:
This strat also works for the paladin using his deepwater helm or bp to heal. Since the cast time is so long it won't be as dramatic a "med" but you do end up multi tasking. You're healing out of battle, so you may as well get that extra bubble of mana while you're at it.

Now... in true classic, when you could sit during a long cast and not interrupt the spell: well, you could med up full while hat healing =)

Let's alter the client's behavior to make this classic mechanic come back to life! (Of course it was patched out in Kunark, so it should probably already be gone on our timeline.)
