Time to add in a healer

[Nomahd]

Get Healbot if you decide to use a mod. Since you have no experience with healing it will be far simpler to get going and use.

As a healer I prefer Grid because I can customize it to suit my needs and can see so much more through the use of indicators. I usually don't use Grid until I start raiding though. I just use Healbot up to that point.

To just be able to toss out some heals while multiboxing Healbot is just fine. I've also used Vuhdo and it's nice as well. I'd put Vuhdo in the middle between Healbot and Grid/Clique as far as complexity.

If you spec right priest has aoe healing.

Otherwise you can just make 5 maco's as well and tie to 5 different keyboard keyd which is as fast as point and click.

/target Mage 1
/cast Fast Healing Spell
etc.

I havn't used grid etc. so they may well be superior I don't know.

Although 4 mages and a Priest is smart having one tank makes healing less complex cause you lead with the tank and draw fire to the tank and you can thus place a /target tank /cast heal macro in with your other one press dps macros. Not to mention resto shaman healing going to be even better in 4.1.


Thats why I suggest resto shaman, 3 mage, Pal tank cause then you can "aoe heal" with chain heal and you can cast the earth thing and riptide on the tank and your healing is very very very easy. But CoH is also very powerfull and I think shadow priest dps is better then ele shaman for times you need it.
