I'm new to healing and wondering how do you do raid/party wide buffs. Thanks
What healer class are you?
And all classes have a buff spell that only works on 1 player, then cant remember what lv it is, think its lv 40 you get a spell that works on all the party and raid.
But this spell costs regents that can be bought of a regent vender.
What type of regent. Read the info of the spell
The best way to do buffs for any class imo is ZOMGBuffs. here are some reasons why:
1. Pallys - take less screen space than PallyPower and communicates with PP
2. Hot buttons for Sacred Shield / Beacon of Light or any other re-castable buff
3. Auto buy reagents at any vendor to your preset level
4. Auto learning based on your play style and can setup templates for raids / 5 mans and such.
Pretty much this is a much needed utility for any class that buffs. Additionally it will show all the buffs that are going out raid-wide so if you are the raid buff leader you can see what classes / players are getting and change as needed.
The ability to have the HOT buttons for your re-castable buffs like for my pally - Sacred Shield and Beacon of Light means that I can have a button on the screen next to Grid that I just click on to recast that buff on the target. Need to change targets one time - no problem just change then use the HOT button to recast on your original target.
Check it out.
No for as how to buff - as stated above each class has buff specific to them. Typically in a raid you see this:
1. Kings / Wisdom / Might from pallys (Sanctuary on Prots but that is self buff)
2. Arcane Intell from Mages
3. Fort / Spirit from Priests
4. Mark of the Wild from Druids
These are your basic buffs that have a long duration and get refreshed at intervals.
Smaller duration buffs include but not limited to:
1. Guardian Spirit aka Wings
2. Divine Protection - aka Pally Wings
3. Blessing of Protection
4. Hand of insert all the pally hand spells here
5. Others I might have missed.
These are smaller in duration and are situational in their use. Wings is used to shield a target from damage as is #2 and #3 with BoP being used on DPS or other members besides the tank. ( BoP your highest DPS during a boss fight for fun sometimes)
The Hand spells do similar things but are not widely used as they are situational as well.
This is a short and not complete list of things to buff in a raid from my viewpoint.

No, BoSanc is not a self buff. It can be cast on all raid members and should be for certain fightsOriginally Posted by Hardline
Divine Protection is a self buff, not one to be cast on others. Also, Pally Wings is used to refer to Avenging Wrath, not Divine Protection.
1. I meant that only prot pallys buff that one.
2. Right , sorry I meant to use Divine Guardian but not alot of pallys spec that either as it is situational as well.
And AW yes is called wings as well or as I like to macro - "Popping a Red Bull cause I got wings!!!!"
I found out how to do it...and I'm a holy preist. Anyone know a good holy preist raiding guide?
