Was looking for some opinions, advice and or experiences from clerics in regards to healing in a group. What heals you prefer and when you use them. I've never tried raids but hope to at some point soon.
Everyone seems to feel Complete Heal is a game changer for a cleric but I just find myself avoiding using it. My grouping experiences don't seem to include many true "meat shields". They seem to mainly consist of heavy DPS such as well geared Monks, Rangers and such who while dealing great damage seem to drop their health so fast I'm scared to death using a 10 sec Complete Heal. Not to mention if I wait until 20-30% and there is a druid or shaman in the group they tend to pop a heal off. I think they think i'm AFK or something. So I set up a hot key that cast and gives a count down on when CH will hit and on whom. I understand that just may be something I have to get over and learn to get a better feel for how my group deals with damage. I just can't shake the feeling that Complete Heal is not ideal for any other than true meat shields.
I've been relying heavily on Celestial, especially when the pulls seem to be very consistent. It just feels like I can keep better control over the groups health, if that makes any sense. I've yet to try Remedy, just got last night.
I'm hoping to get some feedback from more experienced players. I realize I still have a lot to learn and just want to try to be as mana efficient as I can be and a Cleric a group can rely on. It's actually the one class I just really enjoy playing. I've pretty much tried them all and a Cleric just fits, if that makes sense.
One thing I must say is I've had nothing but great luck with any group I've been in. Everyone has always been great. Truly a great community.
