p.s stop with all the parodies on this comment and think of something original

Comment by Aaro

This spell looks so sexy -- an AoE HoT. I assume the spell will work like Far Sight, with a green marker allowing you to cast the spell over a location after you click it. You can select an area (say, in front of a boss where a batch of DPS and the tank are standing), click, and boom -- it will deliver a set amount of over-time healing based on your spellpower to everybody in the target area. The number of targets will lower the benefits of the heal -- all healing is shared equally between the targets (something that'd bring a tear to Marx's eye).

375 * 5 = 1875 + (x% spellpower) / #targets

If just one person is under the rain, they'll get the complete heal -- the only negative factor will be a) how much did that person need the heal, and b) can you spare the huge mana cost for that one person? While Healing Rain is in effect, you'll be able to throw out heals like normal, but because of the large mana cost, you'll probably use it sparingly.

The big variables include how large the area of effect will be, and how much your group/raid will be moving around in any given instance.

This thing requires a truckload of mana :S

Fire elemental totem costs exactly 23% of base mana at 80, which is 1011 mana. (orc shaman)

And seeing that this spell costs 46% of base mana it would cost an insane 2022 mana!

:S

I dread the cost of it at level 85...

finally heal AoE for shamans? O.o smexy

That's for the best. Blizz wants mana to matter, and having Shamans spam Healing Rain every cooldown will deplete your mana pool very quickly. That makes using this ability a decision.

finally heal AoE for shamans? O.o smexy
Shaman have a pretty robust AoE healing arsenal as it is -- healing stream totem, chain heal, and CH earthliving procs. Getting this extra AoE HoT along with it just makes them more badass than before.

Unleashed Weapon's 20% heal buff is looking like it will work with this ability too.

Comment by Izerion

~~Very nice in conjunction with the proposed talent Focused Insight and/or the Earthliving Weapon effect from Unleash Elements.~~
Edit: The wording of the Unleash Elements effect might make it not work on Healing Rains, see how it boosts the next direct heal, whereas HR will likely count as a HoT. Let's hope it works though.
Confirmed neither Focused Insight nor Unleash Life affect Healing rain.

As far as I can tell, the effect is not bound to your party like Healing Stream Totem / Tranquillity, but can benfit the entire raid under the cloud. This gives it a niche beside Tranquillity, where either of them can be more useful than the other depending on the situation (amount of incoming damage, high vs low movement on the dps group, movement from the healer).

Effect seems to be 10 yards across, which is decent, though you won't always be able to hit both the tank and the melee group on large-hitbox bosses. In terms of tank healing, it likely won't be very mana efficient to use it single target, but at the very least it can be used to it's full effect on cleave bosses that require multiple tanks. The ability will really shine on large AoE damage on dps groups though.

Edit: Mastery effect (increased healing the lower the target HP% is) is recalculated for every tick and each target individually (eg. it heals less and less over time as the HP% of the targets increases (or starts to heal more if the targets take damage while the rain is active)).

As of now there is no cooldown listed, though they will likely give it a 10 second CD, so you can't cast multiple Rains while the others are still ticking. Edit: Cooldown confirmed to be 10 seconds.
The effect graphic looks like a blue patch of water on the floor. Be ready to tell DPS and tanks to "stand in the blue !@#$ on the ground", as most people's response is to run from it.

Comment by greenhills

I might be wrong about this, but it would seem that an Enhancement shaman could cast this instantly and for free with 5 stacks of the revamped maelstrom weapon. Probably wouldn't be that powerful, but could be useful in certain situations.

Healing Rain, hmm...

Cleans the gutters of the UC

Stand in the water, don't stand in the fire.

Comment by DemonicBabys

with the amount of mana we will have due to the insane amount of stats on lvl 85 gear i dont think that the 46% base will matter at all.

A macro to spam Healing Rain.

All abilities that require a position chosen by the caster, will be toggled on and off if you press it. Therefor, if your in a panic/dire situation, and spam the Healing Rain button, the designator will go on, off, on, off, on, off...

Therefor:

#show Healing Rain
/cast !Healing Rain

What this will do is make you unable to accidentally take away the designator. You can press escape to cancel it, if you want to.

Comment by Hapseleg

I must say i am quite unpleased with this spell :( 10130 mana for a spell that heals for 2k (5951 healing power) and scales quite bad with spell power, i wont use this spell in 5 man instances but maybe i will use it for raiding.
Also my Healing Stream Totem heals for 1059, last for 7 min and have a range on 34 yds AND it cost me nothing more but 491 mana so i must say im a saaad panda!

Comment by Nees

If you don't see the blue circle of water on the floor, like I did, and because of that have a really hard time figuring out where the aoe effect is being cast; it's because you have the "projected textures" option switched off in your video settings. Switch it on and the blue circle will be visible.

Comment by Procaine

As my gear gets better and mana somewhat more plentiful I've been throwing this in heroics a few times lately. While the effect isn't all that impressive, what is truly hilarious is to watch people in pick ups sprint in horror away from the aoe zone.

Comment by deevus

Healing Rain is very useful, as it will most likely cause all members within it to gain Ancestral Fortitude.

It's really funny to see them stand in pillars of death on Daakara, yet they flee in horror from HR/PWB/Sanc. -_-

Comment by defektunge

Fun fact: you can use Healing Rain to heal people who are out of range, or to heal around corners. You only need to be able to see (and be in range of) the center of the healy area. Since the edges of the rainy area can be out of range or line of sight of you, this lets you heal people you normally couldn't.

This is of course never really useful, but it's still an interesting little perk of this spell.

Amazing Heal for Massive raid damage it has a use for almost every single boss fight in the game

Comment by ElZombo

Oh Healing Rain, I love you so much... you heal the raid while I can /nosepick, you proc Ancestral Fortitude and Earthliving and stack Ancestral Vigor on everyone. You're awesome.

UPDATE 28/10/2014: We didn't get any further report, so it seems like the issue is indeed totally fixed. Thanks all for your patience and understanding while we were working on it.

UPDATE 14/10/2014: This issue should be fixed by now. Please, if you are still experiencing this issue let us know so we can look into it. :)

Hey all!
It’s possible that since Patch 5.4.7 you notice that your Healing Rain doesn’t have the visual rain effect. There’s an issue with this and we are already looking for a solution. This issue also affects the sound of the spell, that will end abruptly.
