Standing in Fire Gets a Bad Rep
Standing in fire is the calling card of the worst PuG you know, loot ninjas, criminals, Nazis and Satanists. Only the most blind, incompetent, casual, 10 man raiders stand in fire. It’s an unforgivable sin and one which means you will never progress beyond Nexus normal mode (because it has no fire).
Or so you would be led to believe by 90% of the online community and it’s something I don’t understand.
Prayer of Mending: Use it more!
Nobody uses Prayer of Mending as much as they should do. I love it, I use it a lot, but never enough. It is, by far, the best heal in the entire game. I want to drive that home a little.
There are pretty much three ways a Healer can wipe a raid: a) Die themselves, b) Let the Tank die, c) Lose control of raid damage. Whilst Prayer of Mending won’t really help you with (a) and (b) it will help you keep a tight lid on raid damage by offering you every other advantage you could want:
- Cheap
- Lots of Healing
- Multiple Targets
- Quick to Cast
- Heals over time
- Smart Healing
You’re probably saying: “Great, bullet points! That’s exactly what I need when I’m trying to keep a raid alive…”
Okay, I do get that. Numbers aren’t exciting, but what I want to get across though is just how amazing Prayer of Mending is because if you aren’t casting it every single time it’s off cooldown you better have a good reason not to. So there will be numbers. The point is, Prayer of Mending comes out top on a lot of scales.
Efficiency compared to other spells
Prayer of Mending is the most efficient healing spell you have. In fact, it’s pretty much the most efficient healing spell anybody has. It is more than twice as efficient as Penance (Disc’s next best HPM spell), and more than twice as efficient as a Glyphed Circle of Healing (Holy’s next best HPM spell). It’s better than Nourish, it’s better than Riptide and Chain Heal. It’s much better than Beaconed Holy Light.
For example, for Discipline:
