I cant help much with KC groups because I have not joined a KC group since like 2003 because it makes me sad in there. That said I almost never soloed for XP on the way to 60. All groups all the time. I have a few recommendations.

1. Get your seb key

2. Get an OT hammer if you don't have one yet.

3. Use Togor's, or whatever the next lowest slow is. Never use your current level slow unless it it a named, or you are killing mobs close to even con.

4. Canni spam like a mad person.

5. SLOW EVERYTHING

6. Tank gets constant haste, everyone else only gets haste if you have spare mana. Their DPS doesn't need to be that high if your mana cant keep up with the pull rate. They will bitch about it, stand your ground. With the tank heated and the dps not, the tank will hold agro better and will WAY reduce the mana you spend healing.

7. Try not to be main healer. Shaman get groups all the time without having to be a healer.

8. Leave KC, stuff dies too fast in there and XP is slow as balls. Go to Velks, or Seb.

I have recently been in a few KC groups that are really fast paced compared to the solo/duo grind. Full disclosure, I hate being a group healer! Just curious how some of you deal with these fast paced groups. When do you say "hey I am LOM" or ignore buff request? Will Seb and other Torpor camps be like KC where everyone is in a big damn hurry? When you are the primary healer what do you focus on, just heals/slows? Do you have a pet up and is he just a mana reserve or do you send him in? Stuff happens so fast if I turn my focus away for even a moment things go bad fast!

I probably should have learned to be a group player long ago but its just not my thing.........One thing is for certain I will never ever want the responsibility of being a cleric!
Being able to rez takes some of the stress off, but until you can click epic or hit level 56 and cast the 96% some people will complain about "only" getting a 90%.

But yeah, as others before me have said - just keep the group informed and if someone dies due to not being able to heal them - it's not your fault. I think Mcoy is parked in KC atm so just hit me up and I'll come click 'em for you.

Bind wound + canni is great synergy, especially when you have someone with 201+ skill in camp between pulls.

In general you want to slow most mobs, but use your common sense. If you're in KC with a 55+ tank you don't need to slow mobs like spectral curate that will die in 20 seconds (and spend half of that time attempting to cheal).

That said, don't wear too many hats. Sure you can buff, heal, slow, cc, offtank, dot BUT don't do it all at once; save some work for the others in the group! You can defer some healing to the necromancers, the Druid can be in charge of regen, etc. similarly don't waste mana on buffs of little value (does the wizard really need agility!?). Don't skimp where they are required (that under geared monk will tank a lot better with an AC buff on).

Most of all just get out there, make friends, have fun and see what works for you.

Get your seb key and come duo w/ my monk (or enchanter for that matter). You'll never go back to KC again.

Seriously though, that zone is AIDS.

ahhhh yes KC as main healer. I HATED it. All I wanted to do was slow and buff but I had to heal, debuff, buff, and all that all the time in the basement or hand grp and it got old quick. But fear not, if you are equipped with fungi tunic + fungi staff + coldain shawl 7 you will never run out of mana.
Plus you can brag how you can tank on the side as well, only if you're ogre race! :d

Heals are for the weak. A true Sith Lord only lets the strongest survive.

Prior to 60 and torpor a shaman heals very well btw regen, blast heals, and the mana regen from canni. Healing power is better than all but cleric but over time may even rival cleric thanks to canni in this dedicated role. It all falls apart of a fast group heavy in melee expects you to also buff, haste, and slow every mob while being the main healer. Even with a fungi and racial regen you can only do so much.

If they want a primary heal job from you, tell them you need someone else to do the rest. If you’re the only one, they have to know your limitations and turn down their expectations.

After 60/torpor? You’re functionally as good at healing most things as a cleric (better at some and worse in others) while being able to busily do the rest.

Until then I’ll echo an above poster:

-Slow it all, slow it early
-Togors > turgurs for mana efficiency
-only the buffs absolutely needed
-haste triaged to where it is needed
-accept your finite limitations
-mana not spent and saved is supremely important

Canni 4 and torpor makes you a Demi-god
