Healing your MB group in Battlegrounds

[smalltanker]

You can do a custom layout that may have all of your guys together and the rest of the raid group where ever. I drive my healer and can use my clique + WOW raid UI + Jamba to heal my crew or the full group in BGs. And I also have the typical spam cast sequence for healing tank in an instance but my lvl 85 crew has not been successful in 85 cata instances... think it is a CC issue more than a heal issue.

Heal other people? What is this nonsense? just playing. I use Healbot for other characters and Grid custom for my guys.

Heal bot has basically the same setup that grid has but i found it a little less reliable than Clique and Grid combo.

Well I might be missing the point but if you have a tank, healer, dps combo what I do is just have macros for the healer to heal the tank which should be out in front taking the most damage first (people is wise to the theroy that when attacking a boxer you go for the lead toon), then the whole purpose of using restro shaman healing is that you don't have to click on individuals in combat just spam chain heal. And you have jamba for individual heals as needed (but thats way to slow in combat I know).

But I havn't been in a BG for months and months so not really sure.

That business of not haveing guys in the same group all the time in BG's ticks me off a lot also.

Not being in the same group can suck depending on your composition.
For my current team, the healer heals anyone I want via the Grid Frame.
And the DK's don't have party specific stuff, so it doesn't impact me.
With party-wide shammy buffs, splitting the team absolutely sucks and there's nothing we can do about it.

I find it easier to click on a Grid frame for heals, than to have a bunch of macros on keybinds; I'm already using a ton of keybinds.
I am spamming one of three keys, pretty much constantly while the battle is going.
So don't have the time to stop my spamming DPS, to move my fingers to other keys.

The far left column (my toons) naturally has priority.
But in BG's, being able to heal others just by doing the same click on their frame that I do on my own...
And combine that with Death Grip and DPS spam...
Lets my healer save people who would otherwise die.
My DK's aren't losing statistics, like honor kills or killing blows... they're actually gaining on kills via this tactic.
And keeping people alive with a healer, makes a far greater impact in BG's than killing the other side.

It isn't hard to be in the top six or seven players for Honor Kills, every AV win or lose.
My Pally is almost always top healer, for sure top three in 95% or more of the games.
The DK's usually share the killing blow lead, for both sides too.
