Ultraxion heroic healing buffs, who gets what?

Recommended Posts

my guild is working on heroic ultraxion 25 now, and we've been having some debates about who should take which buff.

Our healing set-up is: 2 holy paladins, 1 disc priest, 1 resto shaman and 2 resto druids

If I understand your suggestion in the guide right, you're saying that the buffs should go like this:

Red: druids

Green: shaman and disc

Blue: holy paladins

Our RL (he's one of the holy paladins) is arguing that he should take the green buff and then replace it with a blue buff later when the blue crystals pop. But this leaves the shaman or the disc with no buff.

What do you guys think?

PS: we aren't really wiping to healing issues, but it's been a point of contention and we can't seem to agree on it and are always wasting 20 minutes before each raid to figure it out.

thanks

The crystal distribution sounds about right, you can try changing around red and green buffs, but keep your holy paladins on the blue buff.

As for your raid leader, I think he's just saying that because he wants to have fun with high healing and high healing meters. It is much more benificial for you raid If every healer has one crystal. If healing is not an issue, you can always try 5-healing it, that way he could take both a green and a blue buff.

On our progression we had a disc and a druid on red, holy priest and druid on green, and 2 paladins on blue.

some tips for the healers:

  • Make sure the soaking group is always topped up right before a new hour of twilight.
  • Right at the start, let the healers use the button and pop heroism for the DPS, this way the healers won't get it. then when you're at about 20% you can pop hero again to give the healers a nice boost.
  • Try to save raid cooldowns for this time as well, start using divine hymn, barrier, tranquility and aura mastery when you're having difficulty healing (around 25-30%). Try to have a set rotation so everyone uses his cooldown when he's supposed to (for example: AM+ Dhymn, AM + first tranq, second tranq + barrier, spirit link + all remaining cooldowns (tree of life, and spam aoe healing)).
Once your gear gets better, the healing will be easier and the DPS will be higher. With higher DPS, the fight is shorter and the aoe damage is lower, so less healing is needed.

(more dps => less healing => more dps => less healing), try replacing a healer with a DPS.

In my opinion, you should do exactly as we advise in the guide (big surprise, huh?):

Red: Resto Druids

Blue: Holy Paladins

Green: the others (your resto shaman and your disc priest)

What your raid leader is suggesting can be valid (we mention it in the guide, that you can have a holy paladin take green and then later on take blue), but it's better off done when you are using 5 (or 2) healers, and you can afford to waste a crystal.

Since you say the issue isn't wiping to low healing, then you can also just let it go and just try to get as much progression time as possible on the actual fight.

Also what MadMonk said is true, you can consider dropping a healer to make the fight easier on the enrage. Also, I agree with his tips :)

Also agreeing for the most part. We don't have a Resto Druid in our raid so our paladin takes the red buff.

With current gear and 20% nerf he now solo-heals the boss... but when we first downed him we had a discipline priest help out. She was able to smite at the start, helped healing a little just before the red buff popped, then smited again and helped healing again when the damage got too insane for our pally.

That way we had the advantage of only having 1.5 healers and thus quite a few DPS more. A Smiter is also great for passively keeping the tank alive while still dealing some DPS. This way our pally could just holy radiance all over the place.

Thanks so much for all the replies! I passed on the tips from MadMonk to our RL, and we eventually killed it last night!

Big thanks again.

      Hello everyone,
      I want to ask for any tips on my logs, since I think I'm doing something wrong with my resto druid.
      I have good gear (currently 958 ilvl) but I see other druids with similar or less gear do way higher HPS than me on the logs. I think I should be doing more than 900/1k hps, but rarely go above 700 in many fights.
      Here are a couple of logs of Antorus hc:
      https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/cHZLXF1t8J7YMwBT
      https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/zGB27L8KYp4HXJZQ
      I searched the logs and I think one of my main problems for the lack of healing is the rejuvenations. Other druids do far more healing with same or less rejuvs, since my average casts is around 450k (and other druids go up to 750 or even 1000).
      I don't know if it's a problem with timing or overhealing (other healers snipping me), but I want to know other opinions.
      Thanks a lot for your help.

      Hi guys! 
      https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/chamber-of-aspects/erthol   So this is my mistweaver monk here. Now I have actually managed to start raiding and do normals every week. However I have a huuuuge problem, specifically that my hps is really, really low. A good example I think would be this Aggramar fight: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jKcxbLXrQ9pknDva#fight=27&type=healing   You can see how the other monk had much higher hps than me. I do understand my leggos are subpar, but meh, bad luck one could say. What I don't understand is what I'm doing wrong. I try to use renewing mist on cd, use Vivify. I know I haven't used Effuse too much, but that's because I was trying out fistweawing. Anyways, all my other logs are basically the same. I have way too high overhealing as well. Any help would be great, because I'm lost, I love the monk, I love the style, but somehow can't get it to work as I would like it to. Please help meeeeee! Thanks for the feedback.

      What stat %s should we aim for?

      Hi guys,

      I need some pro help to learn to heal properly with my druid.
      I started to play 3 months ago and I've tried to follow build, tips, place proper hots but I always get a very low efficiency index in raid logs with my guild (and with other people).
      My ilvl is currently 906, I have two legendaries, and my artifact is at max level. I do have two other legendaries in my bags: Prydaz and Xoni's. Below are my current stats:
      https://worldofwarcraft.com/es-es/character/dun-modr/elpocimas
      Here are a couple of logs of this week raids:
      ToS nm (only 5 bosses): https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/DWz34VPQ9aHtXp6C
      Another ToS nm (except KJ): https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/dXFnKbqAk43cahxr
      I think my HPS are rather lacking in comparison to other healers, even though I am not that far away gear-wise. It's so frustrating to see 11-20% of efficiency :(
      I'd appreciate any constructive opinion you have and thanks in advance.
      Regards
