Keep Empower abilities on cooldown: Dream Breath and Fire Breath are two of your highest value spells. While you won't keep them on cooldown 100% of the time, you should have very high casts per minute of both by the end of a fight.

Cast Temporal Anomaly frequently: Echo builds can cast it almost on cooldown, while Emerald Blossom builds should cast it whenever there's dangerous damage. Temporal Anomaly is expensive, but it also puts Echo buffs out on 5 targets and absorbs a lot of damage. Read further down the page for the best way to spend these Echo buffs.

Spend Essence Burst: Living Flame, Reversion, and some other effects give you an Essence Burst buff. This makes your next Echo or Emerald Blossom cast free! Try and use them frequently to make sure you don't waste any procs.

First off, why is the M+ build using emerald blossom buffers? Second off, why is the raid staff not considered BIS when it does 300k+ dmg? Fluttering seedlings and Field of Dreams are not great in M+. There are much better options. Field of Dreams should go into dreamwalking instead and the 2 points in fluttering seedlings should go to Flow State. You can even drop a point in Grace Period and get Time of Need. This build offers much better 5 man healing and doesnt force you to use a button that isnt even that great in M+

i wanted to say what the first guy said.
i want to say many thinks: the rotation isnt for new players who will use some... cooldowns in non deadly situations and it is not situational, the biss is great but is not quite guidy because why you whould use something that has dps when you are the healer ? huh ? isnt that dumb ?
