How to Play a Healing Druid in PvE Effectively?

-

Hey everyone! I’m diving into the world of PvE as a healer Druid and could really use some advice. I’ve got the build, equipment, and skill rotations down, but I’m struggling with a few things. What’s the best position for me during group encounters – should I be sticking closely with my team or keeping my distance? When it comes to targeting, should I focus on the boss or prioritize healing my team members? Also, should I mainly watch my teammates’ health bars, or is there more to it? I find myself having a hard time keeping both myself and my party alive. Is it my job to keep them safe, or do they need to watch out for themselves? It feels like no amount of healing can save them when they make mistakes, like standing in AoE. Anyone have tips for handling these situations? Thanks for any help!

You can’t outheal stupidity. Focus on healing unavoidable damage and occasional mistakes from your teammates. If someone stands in AoE, let them go down; they need to learn! Stick to the boss when using your mace for the most effective healing. If you switch to your staff, stand back a little so you can auto-heal anyone within range. Pay attention to your skills and when to use blast finishers to maximize healing. Concentrate on staying alive and keeping alacrity up for your group. If your team is taking too much damage, that’s not on you!
