You get regularly out healed by rogues, warriors and hunters in BGs. I pop HW on just about every maelstrom proc AND I'm specced SoL. Sad...

Or when you go from one of the best off healers to being out healed by BM hunters regularly.

Yup. Blizz needs to seriously look at this. The healing capacities of classes that have no business being able to heal is just getting out of hand. I believe Blizz meant for pure dps classes to have the capacity to patch heal and that's ok. But when they regularly out heal hybrid classes, that's a problem imo.

Try using greater healing wave instead of healing wave. I'm not sure why you would choose to use the small, crappy heal when the heal ends up being free.

I don't know... using GREATER Healing Wave on my Maelstrom procs has been pretty darn impressive to me in PvE. Kept our healer from dying four times over in our last Dragon Soul run last week.

I agree, I am often out healed by a non hybrid class now. We use to never be great at anything but good at everything, now that is not the case these days. Silly WoW mechanics.

If you guys are talking about healing per second, why does that matter? If you are talking about total healing done, then your doing something wrong. I'm usually in the overall top five or so for total healing done. Healing per second doesn't matter to me, as long I help people stay alive I'm happy.

It's pretty sad when Enhancement is supposed to be a melee class, but they still have to kite other melee classes.

ORC = best race for Enhancement (using Axes)
TROLL = good for Elemental/Resto due to HASTE
TAUREN = PvP stun!
GOBLIN = best race for Ele/Resto, no question! 1% haste + BLINK


DRAENEI = free 1% hit... and a paltry/useless heal
DWARF = godd cd for rogues...

Now how is it that Ally shamans are better? Seriously, you dont even play a Shaman


As for offhealing, Enhance has it a bit better... Elemental NEED TO CAST HEALS... for me, Healing Surge = 12k (1.4s) and G Healing Wave = 18k (2.8s) and to do this while melees are pounding on me! Even if I can peel myself for 3s... 18-24k... zzz... Rogue's Recuperate heals for 8-10k per tick (fire and forget)... I heal for 12k with a cast time... in addition to all their survivability...

If only I can class change to Mage, I will do so in a heartbeat, I just can't because of the time I put to this character :(
BTW, I'm a bit new, this is the only character I'm playing :)

Ghurkan, I can only assume you are not using GHW as your heal button. Unless I am guarding the farm or the mine all match without any real action, I will consistently top the non-healer healing charts in BGs. Hunters, Rogues, etc. do not even come close. In fact, I often have a 3.5:1 damage to healing ratio. When I do 3.5 million damage in a BG, I will typically post around 1 million healing as well.

There is some variance, of course. The closer the match, the smaller the ratio (with 3:1 being the limit in this direction); for blow out matches, where Horde are running roughshod over the unfortunate Alliance, the higher the ratio (with 6:1 being the "ceiling" here).

Your play may also vary from mine because I use maelstrom to heal any wounded Horde in range, not just myself.
