GargPeakOfSerenityPeak of SerenityRaidsGeneral Raid Tips

Try to learn as much of the fight beforehand. Watch videos, watch streams, go over logs, all to recognize damage patterns.

Don't overlap massive cooldowns (Tranquility, Revival, Aura Mastery, Power Word: Barrier, Divine Hymn, Healing Tide Totem) with your other healers, unless absolutely necessary. On progression, the overheal from one cooldown could be better spent down the line.

Minimize your own damage taken by maximizing the effectiveness of your defensives.

Maximize the targets in your Player-based AoE effects, which include Essence Font and Refreshing Jade Wind. WeakAuras that track injured targets within their ranges can be found here: Essence Font and Refreshing Jade Wind.

Antorus, the Burning Throne Specific Tips

For Level 30 Tier, you can take Tiger's Lust and use it on slower tanks running Fel Bombardment out.

The defensive tier is a bit flexible as well. However, Diffuse Magic will see use throughout most of the fight, while Dampen Harm is really only useful for mitigating Eradication damage afterApocalypse Drive.

Targets soaking Annihilation.

Group-wide damage as Decimation meteors impact their circles.

Group-wide damage with Eradication.

You can use your extensive mobility to soak the double Haywire-empowered Annihilations.

Placing Transcendence in the back of the room is great for maximizing your damage taken from Eradication, since it draws you in at a quick rate for 3 seconds. Alternatively, you can place Transcendence near the boss at the start in order to get back into melee quicker.

Haywire-empowered Annihilation deals a lot of damage, as there's a lot more debuffs going out to the raid.

All of the damage you can expect to take in this fight is either Fire or Shadow, making Diffuse Magic the perfect defensive talent to take.

Refreshing Jade Wind is perfect for Heroic, but not for Mythic, as the group is split apart, and maybe even slightly scattered after the fact, making better for Mythic difficulty.

Constant damage to anyone inside the Siphoned circles.

Targets taking damage from their own Enflamed.

Targets stunned by Molten Touch.

Use extensive mobility to make sure tanks aren't feared by Weight of Darkness, since there are fewer players available to help split, as well as to make sure you're not caught by the Consuming Sphere's Consuming Obliteration.

Tiger's Lust is recommended as it's the one mobility spell in this row that helps to maneuver around Entropic Mines.

Ramping Single Target damage on players undergoing a Psychic Assault within the command pods.

Group-wide damage from Fusillade. Even when under the Felshield Emitter's area, the damage is still noticeable, especially near the end of the fight.

Prepare for Shock Grenade & Fusillade overlaps by placing Transcendence by the Felshield Emitter's pylons, ready for when the stun fades.

Leg Sweep is great for controlling enemies that spawn from Transport Portal.

If you're healing the portal groups, definitely be on your toes.

Group-wide burst from the completion of Collapsing World.

Group-wide when a tank's Reality Tear expires.

The only relevant change for Mistweavers is if you're chosen to ferry platform puddles over to another platform, which your mobility is great for.

The Level 45 talents are fairly flexible. Mist Wrap will likely be the most useful, as mana is largely not a factor, depending on your group’s damage in bringing down adds.

The entire fight is basically light ticking damage with occasional burst via Rain of Fel.

Be prepared for healing the group you're with when your co-healer (assuming 4 healers, 2 to each group) is healing the Final Doom group in the Paraxis.

Be in position for the crystal flower spawn for your own group's Final Doom.

Be mindful of casting spells with a cast time when you're near targets with Feedback - Arcane Singularity.

Stay in range of players with Feedback - Targeted, as they'll be taking increased damage, relative to other players.

Don't let Feedback - Foul Steps stack too high.

Tiger's Lust is the best movement option during the bridge transitions.

You are counted as melee for Sleep Canister's targeting.

Pay attention to targets with Pulse Grenades, as they'll likely be last on the bridge, requiring more healing.

The placement of Shrapnel Blast's mines causes group-wide damage.

Be ready to heal targets targeted by Charged Blasts, as they take a fairly sizable amount of damage when it expires.

Wear Petrichor Lagniappe in lieu of Prydaz, Xavaric's Magnum Opus. This is to ensure that you'll always have a Revival for bridge transitions, as they're more frequent in Mythic.

Use Tiger's Lust to ensure you won't accidentally overshoot and collide with a Diabolic Bomb.

is taken over Refreshing Jade Wind as players are usually too spread out to fully benefit from Refreshing Jade Wind.

Save Mana Tea for each Construction phase.

Group-wide damage whenever a Diabolic Bomb explodes.

Heal the players nearby during the Construction phase's Flames of the Forge.

Make sure to use mobility to spread around the boss in melee distance when affected by Reverberating Decimation.

Tiger's Lust, while it remains active, suppresses the slow of Torment of Frost.

This fight is perfect for Refreshing Jade Wind, as you'll likely have it as close to 100% uptime as possible.

This fight's group-wide damage ramps up until the coven switches which torment, which ramps up again, meaning the longer a torment goes on, the more you'll have to heal.

If both Refreshing Jade Wind and Essence Font are on cooldown, you can build Sheilun's Gift stacks with casts on targets with Misery for Whispers of Shaohao healing, as well as healing up a target who had not had healing for the past few seconds.

If affected by Necrotic Embrace, do NOT try to move as fast possible to the stack point, as you could unintentionally run out of range of other players, spawning a Shadow of Varimathras.

Try to use Revival as much as possible, but especially during Torment of Fel.

For Mythic, you're picking your poison with the Level 45 talents. Choosing Spirit of the Crane will be useful until the first Torment of Aman'Thul spawns, after which you'll be too busy healing to regenerate mana. Choosing Mist Wrap will be best for healing targets affected by Fulminating Pulse or Chilled Blood, but will leave you starved for mana.

Ring of Peace allows safe control over Torment of Norgannon placement.

Massive single target is needed for targets affected by Fulminating Pulse or Chilled Blood.

Group-wide damage while at least one Torment of Aman'Thul is alive casting Machinations of Aman'Thul.

Watch out for single target healing while Thu'raya, Mother of the Cosmos is active and casting Cosmic Glare.

Ring of Peace provides the most utlity in that row, allowing you to either push a slow add into the boss, or away from the boss.

Not targeted by Scorching Blaze (or its Mythic counterpart Ravenous Blaze).

Targets with Scorching Blaze require quick healing, best suited for Vivify due to the number of targets hit.

Each cast of Flame Rend is massive group-wide damage.

Each intermission is ramping group-wide damage via Unchecked Flame.

Each Ember of Taeshalach that makes contact with Aggramar causes a burst of group-wide damage, as well as leaving Blazing Eruption on the entire raid.

Make sure to be quick on the dispell from Empowered Foe Breaker, so tanks are able to make move the boss around accurately for the Taeshalach Technique.

Each Tortured Rage cast is a sizable amount of group-wide damage.

Players with Soulblight require some single target healing.

Watch for when Soulbomb and/or Soulburst expires, as they deal massive group-wide damage.

Watch for Reorigination Pulse's group-wide damage, especially when it overlaps with Tortured Rage.

Don't move too quickly with either Sargeras debuff, as you could unknowingly give/gain stacks.

During Phase Two, the second Soulbomb player (always a healer) requires massive single target healing in order to stay alive while the next Avatar of Aggramar is chosen.

Tomb of Sargeras Specific Tips

Take Lifecycles if your group is having issues healing Crashing Comet targets, as Enveloping Mist can be very effective at healing those targets. Otherwise take Spirit of the Crane for mana regen.

Crashing Comet

Shattering Star

Rain of Brimstone

Fortifying Brew and Diffuse Magic are amazing for dealing with the Rain of Brimstone soaks or mitigating Shattering Star damage.

Take Lifecycles if the tanks are taking more damage than anticipated, otherwise take Spirit of the Crane for the mana return.

Fel Squall and Bone Saw

Ranged players immediately after Suffocating Dark.

Healing inside Belac's cage after Confess.

Since the Tormented Fragments spawn from under Belac, and he doesn't move, you place your Transcendence spirit under Belac for Spirit Tether to snare the adds as they spawn.

Talents are fairly inflexible for this boss. The group healing that Mistweavers can do is great for this fight, and the downtime allows for excellent mana regeneration from Spirit of the Crane.

Unchecked Rage is a burst of raid-wide damage.

Frigid Blows can be prolonged period of constant raid damage.

Frosty Discharge is a massive AoE burst that varies in damage based on each player's Drenched stacks.

When the Incubated Eggs begin to hatch, one of the groups can have multiple eggs hatching at once. This group spawns Sickly Tadpole that can be slowed with Spirit Tether. With Tiger's Lust, you can make it to one corner of the room, drop your Transcendence, and have enough mobility to make it back in for the Unchecked Rage that removes the Hardened Shell.

Again, a fairly inflexible fight with regards to talent decisions, at least on Mythic. On all other difficulties, the group healing is largely reduced, so swapping in is not a bad call.

Every Eclipse has a major healing component tied to it, whether it be healing the absorb from the Embrace of the Eclipse, or healing the shared damage of Incorporeal Shot.

Rapid Shot targets.

Lunar Beacon targets.

Astral Purge hurts everyone. A lot. Maximize your time spent in melee for Refreshing Jade Wind and Essence Font to heal as many injured as possible.

HEALING CORPOREAL REALM

In the Corporeal Realm, the healing is more single target focused, with Mana Tea falling by the wayside just because Spirit of the Crane can regenerate so much mana during Tormented Cries.

The Level 90 Talent row is a toss up between and Summon Jade Serpent Statue.

Group-wide burst every Sundering Doom and Doomed Sundering.

Use Leg Sweep after the third tank pulls the Reanimated Templar away to act as a 5 second damage reduction for the tank in the Corporeal Realm.

HEALING SPIRIT REALM

Healing inside the Spirit Realm is much more group-oriented. Choosing between Refreshing Jade Wind and is the only real change on this side of healing this boss.

Targets with Wither active while Wailing Souls is being channeled.

Group-wide burst every Sundering Doom and Doomed Sundering.

Use Leg Sweep after adds spawn and grouped up to act as a 5 second damage reduction.

Hydra Shot

Ticking damage from Consuming Hunger, Befouling Ink, and Devouring Maw.

Leg Sweep the Abyss Stalkers when they're grouped up at low health to prevent them from teleporting away, ruining placement for Slicing Tornado.

Hammer of Creation and Hammer of Obliteration are huge group burst spells.

Wrath of the Creators can become heavy sustain damage if it lasts long enough.

Nothing really huge changes from Heroic to Mythic, just makes sure you're still getting as much effectiveness out of Refreshing Jade Wind as possible.

Refreshing Jade Wind would see so little use in the first phase that the roughly 2 uses of outweighs the extensive use it would see in the second phase.

Spread Group damage during Unbound Chaos.

Stacked small group damage during Touch of Sargeras.

Rupture Realities.

Targets that help soak Dark Mark.

If you are helping soak the Tainted Matrix, do not equip Prydaz, Xavaric's Magnum Opus. as the absorb is reduced by 10% for each stack you have, severely diminishing the legendary's effect. Instead, equip Leggings of The Black Flame, as they mainly help with their stat budget and the ability to funnel powerful healing those who need it. Ei'thas, Lunar Glides of Eramas is too unreliable in the first phase because of the group being way too spread out, and Doorway to Nowhere isn't used because of Essence Font's limited use in the first phase.

Felclaws on the tank is painful.

The Erupting Dreadflame cast from Shadow Reflection: Erupting begins to cause substantial damage to the group after the first cast and first stack of Eruption is applied.

Focused Dreadflame and its splash.

Choking Shadow needs to be healed off in order to start healing players in the second intermission.

The initial Darkness of a Thousand Souls is very painful because Tear Rift hasn't been cast yet.

Use Mistweaver's high mobility to your advantage, making sure to have Transcendence as a safety net in case you are knocked off the edge.
