Ny’alotha: Restoration Druid Tips and Tricks!

August 4, 2020 · by Lavathing

Welcome to our Emerald Nightmare tips and tricks guide for Restoration Druids. Please remember that the suggested talent and essence builds are meant to provide the best assistance to the raid team during mythic progression. These are not the only viable talents, and various talent combinations work for many of these fights. Also, remember that the talents are selected to maximize the potential for success on progression, not for parsing. Finally, many talents are situational and are better for different raid teams, strategies, and healing compositions. Do not take these talent suggestions as law, they can be changed based on the individual situation. If you have any further questions please comment below or tweet me @Healcraft.

Officer Chat: New Weekly Column!

February 18, 2014 · by Lavathing

Welcome to Healcraft.net’s new weekly column on leadership in World of Warcraft. These articles will include, but are not limited to, raid leading, being a guild master, various officer roles in a guild, various leadership roles in a raid team, and more. I’ve been a raid leader, GM, and/or officer on-and-off for nearly 4 years, and if there is one thing I’ve learned, it is that you should always be looking for new ideas on how to improve the way you lead your team. Admittedly, I still have a lot to learn and have room for improvement as a raid leader, but hopefully some of my experiences and lessons learned will help out some readers. For this first article, we will briefly go over some of the topics I will be covering over the coming weeks, what I expect out of this column, and just some other general information.

T16 Normal Mode Raid Guides (That You Can Read in 5 Minutes)

February 18, 2014 · by Lavathing

Welcome to a new article series on Healcraft.net! Rather than writing large text guides for encounters, we will be doing a very brief overview of fights each tier. We realized that text guides are a dime-a-dozen and writing another carbon-copy guide will not really contribute anything meaningful to the community. So, we are going to try to steal some of the thunder from the “Raid Guide in 60 Seconds” videos on youtube. Essentially, we will try to mimic the premise of 60 second raid guides in a text format. Finally, we already cover a lot of detailed encounter-specific stuff in our popular Tips & Tricks series (long text guides for each encounter would contain a lot of overlap). We hope our readers enjoy this new format, but it is not set in stone. Let us know what you think! Great idea, or cop out? Comment below or tweet us @Healcraft.

Tips & Tricks: T16 Heroic – Restoration Druid – Part I

December 18, 2013 · by Lavathing

Welcome to my first tips and tricks article for heroic Siege of Orgrimmar! Remember, these tips and tricks articles are not encounter guides. Rather, as the name suggests, we offer unique insights on particular fights. As always, feel free to reply to this article with any comments and questions or shoot us a tweet @Healcraft.

UPDATE: These tips and tricks were written early in the Siege of Orgrimmar tier. The tips assume you are at the 3043 haste breakpoint and have a low item level. With today’s item levels, even for progressing guilds, you’ll likely want to take Soul of the Forest for all encounters regardless of what is mentioned below.

Tips & Tricks: T16 Heroic – Restoration Shaman – Part I

November 10, 2013 · by murilo5

Hey guys! Murilo back again with a few Tips & Tricks for Siege of Orgrimmar. I’ve been looking forward to transferring all these notes to a post for a while now. I apologize for not finishing last tiers T&T article, I only did part 1. Mixture of RL and our guild just killing Ra-Den a few weeks before 5.4 launched (blame roster issues and the “stable internet boss” aka Comcast).
Anyway, as with the T&T article for T15, these are resto shaman specific things on each encounter that can help murder the boss & hopefully improve your personal performance. As always, this is all from a 25man perspective; sorry 10-man raiders. The strength of glyphs can vary greatly between 10&25 man, especially something like Glyph of Chaining that has to do with distance between players. I only have heroic experience this tier on 25 sadly.
