I was curious if it had to be targeted like blizzard etc. or if its just automatically down at the caster location. Here is your answer. I am sure the animation is just a place holder.

looks like it's gonna be the right choice to replace my shaman healer

So wait, why is this making you replace your shaman healer?

Easier to not have to deal with ground targeted spells.

Yea, but I wouldn't give up on a class because they ADDED a spell. It's not like they are replacing all the other healing spells with it. It seems like it could be useful in some situations and I'm happy they are adding new things.

Ya but if you are as hardcore as Max is, you want to be able to use ALL your healing tools at your disposal on your appointed healer. Plus level 85 content will be balanced around a healer and ALL their spells.

I made that choice before i saw this spell. I will run a prot pally, boomkin, lock, shaman & priest team as my 'main comp'. Where boomkin, priest & shaman can have a healing offspec. It's a comp that gives me way more abilities & is more versatile than my shammy team. Not to mention that any loot that drops is gonna be usefull one way or another. My shaman team will be for pvp and i'll keep 1 'main' shaman to raid with.

Seeing this spell active just 'confirmed' my choice, as i 'll probably never use it with the way i box. That doesn't mean it's a useless or stupid spell.

I can see that. I guess I only got the result and not the full context of the descision. Just a lot of "sky is falling" right before expansions, so I likely assumed that when I shouldn't have.

I could've explained it better as well rather then make an unclear statement

Pff, me hardcore? Heh, I never cast greater heal on my disc priest and didn't even spec into penance for the boxing disc spec xD
Don't use the Hymn either, but at least have that one clickable somewhere on the bar.

But you are right on the balancing point.
And from what I've seen of the new instances so far, they will be hard, or at least challenging to box.
I look very much forward to trying.
