Brevisano, a 20 free to play character was running an instance with a few other players and evidently I did a good job healing.

Thanks Shabutie and Cannoli

Some Free To Play healing screenshots

When the World of Warcraft Free to Play accounts came out, I thought, I wonder if you can effectively twink a character at 20 to compete in the 20-24 bracket. Since you’re at the bottom of the bracket, you need to stack some hit if you’re going to be DPS, but, I’ve always enjoyed being a healer.

I’ve never played a paladin beyond about level 10, but, decided to try my hand with Luxxi – who has really become my primary Free to Play account. I also created a human priest, but, created a gnome priest, Brevisano, for battlegrounds.

One of these, the Horde dominated healing, but, fighting mid or camping the graveyard will allow you to get some large healing numbers, but, in the end, it is who moves the flag that wins.

A fan, and a non-fan

Once in a while in battlegrounds, people are happy with the fact that they got healed, and, sometimes, mad that they ran beyond your range to heal them, got jumped by a few people and died.

Truewarrior was at Fel Reaver in Eye of the Storm, and, kept getting kited further and further from the flags. I was healing inbetween trying to keep the people defending the flag alive while trying to keep him alive – even though he should have known to fight near the flag. He expressed his dismay at a repair bill.

Moymoy was in an Arathi Basin where half our team decided to just let the Horde win. He and I went to either Farm or Blacksmith, took out a few people, but, didn’t get the flag. Still, I love those clutch situations where it is two on five, and we take out four of them.

Even though we lost, Mel and I did quite a bit of healing

In this Alterac Valley, Mel and I did quite a bit of healing taking the first and third positions. While our side didn’t win, even looking at the overall healing, there were a lot of healers in this game.

Warlocks topping the healing charts in Battlegrounds

It isn’t surprising to see some healing on non-healing classes in the battleground scoreboards. Life Drain shows up for warlocks, Mend Pet shows up as healing for hunters. However, many hunters hit Mend Pet only when their pet is about to die because healing their pet takes away from their DPS. Sure, PUG battlegrounds should have healers once in a while, but, I’ve seen ret pallies that refuse to heal anyone around them, even themselves because they are there to DPS. Shadow Priests rarely pop out of shadowform even when it could save them.

Once in a while you’ll see some rogue that is relatively low leveled for the bracket and they’ll ask for a healbot — because by some miracle with a healer, they’ll be able to take out someone. If you call out for a healbot, and by some rare chance you get one, protect that healer — don’t charge into battle DPSing everything and allow the healer to get killed and then complain that you didn’t get any heals.

In any case, the screenshots of Qwickthree’s healing are a pretty sad testament to the healers in battlegrounds. They are virtually non-existent, but, very much appreciated when they are around.

Overall, it is just a statement that healers are pretty rare in battlegrounds – even on the twink battlegrounds.

Staying Buffed All Winter

Running with the guild BLEED, we downed Hodir. The achievement requires you to have Toasty Fire, Storm Power and Starlight buffs.

This fight is very nice to have some frost resist gear. So please help your healers out, wear some frost resist gear.

After a quick Wintergrasp battle, cdthirtyfive was invited to heal VoA 25-man. I died twice, lost the roll on the loot, but, gained the achievement. There were actually only 23 people as we had trouble finding more DPS, but, it wasn’t too difficult.

Damage Control

cdthirtyfive got back into the battlegrounds and is running with a scrub mix of gear, but, I’m able to heal quite a bit before I get killed. In this one Arathi Basin it was a complete mess. Horde left a number of flags undefended which required recapping them, but, all in all with a few turnovers it was a pretty good game.

41k Healing in a Warsong Gulch

Bhodi hits 41k healing in a Warsong, but, I am not specced Resto.

I came into the game late and Horde was being hammered quite bad. Always love zoning into a flag room with 6 attackers. I stepped in, healed as much as I could, started to DPS and we repelled that attack, but, we still weren’t strong enough to overcome.

Identical Healing in a Warsong Battleground

cd34 — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:29:54 +0000

Vow and Bhodi both had identical healing in this battleground which I thought was worthy of a screenshot. I’m not specced as a healer, but, will heal when needed.
