Character is Hemløck. This is our raidlog from last night. I'm in pulls 1-17 before we took a break and they wanted to drop to 5 healers and add a DPS. Here's the rundown:

I'm kind of the flex Healer, mostly play Augmentation but when we want an extra healer or a healer is out I swap to Pres. I feel like I'm following the guides online and I've looked at other people's logs, but I'm just not sure why I'm not doing as much healing as the other evoker. Especially since my gear is relatively on par. Any help or nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.

Of Note: None of my Healing CDs are planned in the note. I mostly just have to wing it. I'm sure this doesn't help but I feel like even with that there shouldn't be such a gap in how much I'm doing vs the other evoker.

Looking at pull 1

#
  • engulf does its healing through consuming dream breath. this means that we have to stack every single buff into dream breath that we possibly can. your dream breath wasn't always buffed with full stacks of compression, and it wasnt always buffed with call of ysera
  • maybe (hopefully) its just the pull i'm looking at, but your engulf was being cast on players that didnt have dream breath at all... meaning they did quite literally nothing. its super important that youre understanding HOW to use this button and WHO you are casting this on.
  • between engulf casts is the echo ramp. golden hour is super powerful on this fight. echo ramps that are consumed with reversion should have the reversion cast on the tank to take advantage of golden hour. the only exception to this rule is when we use the echo ramp with verdant embrace before going into our emerald communion.
  • you only cast emerald communion once in 5min and only 8 people were in your lifebind. this ramp isnt as important for flameshaper but is still a huge cd that you should be taking advantage of, even if its just to get mana or quickly top off some people.
  • your stasis casts didnt have the correct spells in it. you definitely understand having engulf, but you need to have dream breath in FIRST and then two engulfs.
#

this is a perfect stasis combo that you had

#

your stasis casts should be used at these times, which overlap with the rifts. otherwise, you should be using a dream breath double engulf on every rift pull. between rift pulls you can pretty much afk, your job is done.

#

i want to see these engulf casts. thats whats making us super powerful here

#

you can cast a little engulf here and there AS LONG AS you will have TWO engulfs up for every single portal set

#

biggest thing to work on is engulf timing and making sure your breath is stacked upppp with buffs for big yummy engulfs
