For wanting to not play this weekend I ended up running more content than I ever have in one weekend.
Friday was quiet, I think I healed a heroic and called it a night, but Saturday…yeesh. I logged on to check my mail and got pulled into a PUG’d heroic Obsidian Sanctum. The group was well geared and knew their stuff. We had the zone cleared in less than a half hour. Tier 7.5 glove token dropped for me, but I lost the roll. I did walk away with the bag of spoils so I am not complaining.
After the OS run, I got into a PUG’d heroic Naxxramas. The start was rough, but after that the run went well and the spider wing was cleared. Faerlina dropped the Totem of Misery and I hade flash backs of “I went to Black Temple and all I got was this stupid totem” (Totem of Ancestral Guidance), but Maexxena dropped me some leather shoulders that were a decent upgrade so I didn’t go to bed with the totem loot blues.
Sunday was the continuation of the guild run of 10-man Naxx and we did very well. We took down Gron, Gluth, Thadious and the 4 Horsemen. No loots for Jager, but Tommyox our druid and Buffmuffin our Paladin got all pimped out. We went off to try Sapphiron. The first pull of the night was the best and we ended up calling it after a few attempts. People may say that you don’t need frost resist in the 10-man, but you know, as a healer…I am going to demand it. Healing that fight is a damn pain. He and Kael’Thuzad should be down by the end of this week though. After that it is off to Malygos!

We have taken down Sapphiron with no frost resistance. But it took a CoH-priest, a resto druid and yours truly, resto shaman.
All pretty well geared.
So get that frost-resist gear, it makes things a lot easier. And get it now, it will be more expensive after the patch hits.

Hiya, I’m a Resto Shaman thats been doing 25NAX Heroic raids. What I’ve noticed is that I’m always low on the healing chart behind th priests/druids AND I’m always the first OOM.
Compared to the other resto shamans, I’m not worried about being at the top of the healing list, but the lack of mana for long fights is hurting. I Mana Tide around 70%, then pot again at 60% (I’m alchie so I get the +40% off pots). I’ve had to switch to a healing routine where I hope to crit to consume water shield orbs. Riptide, LHW, LHW, Chain, Rip, LHW, LHW, Chain, Water Shield. I’ve seen my mana last longer doing this, but not being able to chain heal constantly keeps my raid healing low. Any thoughts? I’m on gurubashi if you want to see my gear. Thanks

@Murm Currently in 25 man we don;’t shine like we used to with Priest and Druids raid healing so well now. Things you might want to look for is more MP5 gear and if you chain heal a lot there is a nice badge totem that reduces the amount of mana used by chain heal.
Currently with gear mp5 food, the mojo flask and wisdom buff I am sitting at just over 700MP5/500mp5 and combined with the chain heal totem and some crit gear I find that I rarely get below 50% mana.

I’ll look into the totem, it’ll help. I’ve started research faction enchnts that can help also (Sons of Hodir shoulder enchant looks nice too).
Thanks, I was worried it was just me!

Finished 25Heroic NAX last night and saw I was over 800MP5, and I never had a mana issue while spamming Chain Heal most of the time. Seems to be a great number, and thats without the totem so far.
