I tweaked my healing setup for my shaman last night. Added stopcasting to all of them.

Went in to battlegrounds and my healing was worse than before.
I was getting completely wasted by the opposition, heals didn't seem to fire.
I figured I must have mistyped something and stripped the stopcasting back out.

So this morning I'm thinking about it and realised why it didn't work for me.

I was spamming the healing button. I was doing a much better job of interrupting my healing than the enemy was.


I've decided that stopcasting isn't for me - I am definitely a button masher. I figure if i really need to interrupt a cast I can hit my down arrow (step back) and pop a heal. The rest of the time the heal can hit when it needs to.

I thought I'd share this startling revelation ( ) in case there is actually someone out there equally as dim as me.
(Unlikely I know).
