Thread: Healing in the Vile Maw

Ok, I joined a Watcher raid today. I've completed it before on my LM, but healing it seems a completely different experience. The raid did not go well, mainly because people didn't listen and remove corruptions, despite frantic shouting on my part and the other minstrels. I removed a couple myself but....
Anway, my point is that the raid was mainly 75 with 4-5 level 58-62 involved. This meant healing was easier for me, yet I still felt a bit frantic. So if anyone can give me advice on how best to heal this, it would be much appreciated. (trait set-up would be nice too as legendary traits are confusing me)

I've healed it many times back when we did it at level, on both mini and rk, and I gotta say -- this is one fight where staying alive is out of the healer's hands. If the raid members are not properly positioning and corruptions and aggro are not being managed no amount of healing will keep the group up.

So, rotate through: burst heal your primary target, spam buff group, spam heal group.

Been a while since I did it, but it's very much a fight with a rhythm... get into that and it's smooth sailing if everyone does what he's supposed to do. Especially timing IF to hit right after he does his big splashy-AoE-damage-thing helped me a lot. Also, especially with armour changes and without the Acid defence from the Watcher set etc., it's often essential to focus on the hunters tanking the tentacles as they can get nasty crits. The Tank usually can drop quite a bit in this fight and keep himself up if things are hectic.

Exactly, healer can't save the day, when the rest of group is not doing the stuff they are supposed to do.
