Wherein I Heal Without Addons

I don’t use addons like Healbot or VuhDo or even a raid frame like Grid when I heal. I have them all installed and have tried each of them, and some to addon to Grid, even. When raiding I sometimes enable Healbot so I can keep track of things to dispell, but I never actually use it to heal.

Yeah, that’s right.

I heal with the default raid frame by clicking.

I also heal with my keyboard – I have three rows of keys that I use – and move with my mouse. I have never felt that this has put me at a disadvantage while healing. I’ve managed to stay as competitive as I care to  be and keep up in heals.

I’m sure my interface isn’t optimal as far as actual raiding goes, but it works for me.

My question is: does this make me a terrible healer?

Friday Favourite: Battle for Gilneas

Here’s the thing. I love Battlegrounds with nodes to defend. As a priest, I’ve got Psychic Scream and (my personal favourite) Holy Nova. Holy Nova is an instant AOE that heals and does damage. Hello, node defender.

One of my favourite Battlegrounds is Battle for Gilneas. It’s just so PRETTY. It’s all steampunky and stuff. The tiny details that are found in Cataclysm additions are wonderful.

I made no friends during this battleground, almost letting The Boyfriend and his brother die at the hands of the Horde so I could wander around screenshotting my little heart out. (And getting an achievement, of course!)

We did end up winning, despite my extra curricular activities!

July Challenge: There’s Something About You

I somehow managed to completely neglect Ambermist’s last challenge. This time though, I’m on it. For the month of July, Ambermist asks us who we are. We are asked to share as much or as little about ourselves as we are comfortable with.

So, who’s Eva?

• I have been playing WoW since October 2010. I didn’t have a toon at max level until late spring 2011.
• I love photography. I use a Canon Rebel T2i. (Kit lens, 50mm lens, and a 10-20mm.)

        

•  I have a huge, huge family.
•  I met The Boyfriend on WoW. Conveniently the huge, huge family loves him! Playing with him is when I have the most fun on the game by far.
• At work I mostly type and type and answer the phones. Also I remind people when paperwork needs to be done or information is needed.
• I listen to music,  read a lot, and blabber on Twitter.
• My favourite class on WoW is my Holy Priest. I looove Holy healing.
• I’ve only raided for a tiny amount of time – Dragon Soul – for about two and a half months before my raid group collapsed. I’d thought I’d never raid but I loved it! I do miss raiding with a bunch of other people. I was fascinated how everyone started to work so well together.

An Hour Later …

Yes, yes indeed. We regrouped according to plan when TB started up. We had about a thousand healers (was third for heals … wooo!) and managed to down him. The last few moments were a crunch – everybody did a fantastic job with CCs and heals.

And I got a spiffy, if creeptastic, mount!
