May 12th, 2009 — Live Testing, Single Target Healing
I wanted to check to see how my HpM changed.
I will definitely review HpS next, as tsarc was accurate that mana isn’t the limiter I thought it was. (I only blew 2 pots the whole night, which is a good indicator that I have room to spare. I did make consistent use of my shadowfiend and Hymn of Hope though).
Anyway, back to HpM, mostly just to see if I improved overhealing and made the most efficient use of my spells: These numbers are in Mana spent per % of my effective healing done:
- Penance - 3,502 (assuming my math is right it beat out shielding for efficiency?)
- Shield - 27,408 (with full shielding 4,568)
- Flash - 7,876
- Binding - 14,502
This reinforces my notions that Penance rules if I’m more intelligent about overhealing, and taht Binding Heal stinks on toast.

Not sure I accomplished anywhere near everything I hoped to, but eh, it’s an ongoing process.
I did manage to fire off a Divine Hymn per boss fight once I realized I was completely failing to do that. Used the macro that tsarc recommended, with my berserker addition.
Overall Numbers:
- Penance
3178 hit, 4556 crit
22% - 374 count
20% overheal - 271 overheal count
- Binding Heal
4030 hit, 5415 crit
21% - 292 count
19% overheal - 220 overheal count -
- Flash Heal
3673 hit, 4842 crit
17% - 257 count
31% overheal - 330 overheal count -
- PoH
3671 hit, 5049 crit
14% - 206 Count
20% overheal - 224 overheal count -
- Glyph of PW Sheild
1299 hit, 1923 crit
13% - 535 count
8.3% overheal - 309 overheal count -
- PoM
3378 hit, 4717 crit
9.5% - 156 count
1.4% overheal - 32 overheal count
- Divine Hymn
5352 hit, 6334 crit
2.2% - 24 count
0.2% overheal - 5 overheal count
Oh, and the overall portions of healing (only 5 healers tonight, we got up to Freya and ran out of time)
- Holy Priest - 24.8%
- Resto Druid - 18.3%
- Holy Pally - 13.7%
- Holy Pally - 12.8%
- Disc Priest - 10.9%
Now, that only accounts for 80.5% of the healing. So my ’share’ would be 16%.
If you separate out the single target vs ae healers (wich, of course, I will do because, let’s face it, it’s going to make me look better), I did pretty awesome. The single target healers did 37.4% of the healing between the three of us, so my share would be 12.5%.
And, of course, if you separate out the Disc priests, I’ve got the highest healing done out of all of them.
Well, actually I should take my own advice and look for ways to improve, rather than finding ways to make recount say I’m a good healer.

XT-002 some good testing
- PoH - 29%, 41 ‘count’ - 36% overhealing
- Binding - 20%, 27 count - 14.7% overhealing
- Penance - 17%, 29 count - 17.5% overhealing
- PWShield Glyph - 14.5%, 54 count - 7.6 overhealing
- Flash - 10%, 16 count - 22% overhealing
- PoM - 7.5%, 12 count (so much for watching that CD) - 2.3% overhealing
And what’d I forget to cast? That’s right, Devine Hymn.
/sigh

I was hoping to get some HPS theorycrafting in tonight but instead I’m doing some 5-mans to try to get the ‘crusader’ title. Exhalted with Argent Crusade and I’m all done.
Either way, I’ll be watching my mana at the end of each fight/attempt in Ulduar tonight to see if mana is really the limiting factor like I’m treating it. If not, HPS is going to become quite important to me.
Items I hope to test out tonight in Ulduar:
- Divine Hymn … Use it once per fight. Even if it’s at a stupid time, at least it’ll help get me into the habit. Macroed with Inner Focus.
- Speaking of cooldowns, make better use of PoM, PI, Berserking, Inner Focus.
- Penance, on the other hand, I want to really watch my overhealing on.
- PoH needs some serious testing, possibly glyphed, hopefully hasted with borrowed time.
May 11th, 2009 — Single Target Healing, Theorycrafting
Recent review of my single target effective healing leads me to review these three spells.
I’m doing some somewhat less than scientific testing where I buffed myself (flask of the frost wyrm, firecracker salmon, and Inner Fire) and repeatedly hurled myself off of my flying carpet a few stories up at the landing pad in Dalaran. Oddly enough nobody seemed supprised to see me repeatedly faceplanting. Perhaps they’ve met me before.
Anyway, my +Healing was 2780. Here’s my math (Excel Time!), where I get the numbers I EXPECT for efficiency:
- Penance: 9900 Healing for 618 mana, 0.06 Mana/Health
- Flash: 4150 Healing for 521 mana, 0.12 Mana/Health
- Shield: 1313 Glyph Healing for 666 mana, 0.50 Mana/Health OR 0.08 Mana/Health assuming full prevention from the shield
So, for Penance to be less effective healing per mana than flash heal, I need to be doing some serious overhealing with it. In fact a majority of my penance healing must’ve been overhealing.
Lesson learned? Don’t fire off Penance just because it’s cooldown is up.

16 Fish feasts (mine, apparently I was the only one with fish tonight) mean about 4 attempts on Thorim, 12 on Mimiron.
Got Mimiron to his Voltron phase, but raid exploded about 10 seconds in. Violently.
Will review the numbers further when I get a chance, but final overall numbers (once we got our 7th healer in) put me at 9% of the “effective healing”. If we assume (and this is a dangerous assumption, but entirely possible on Thorim/Mimiron) that my shields are always preventing their full amount of damage, I’d estimate my contribution to be closer to 13%. As I’m shooting for 14% (with 7 healers), that’s not horrible.
I am not factoring Aegis of Shielding in these preliminary numbers, as they’ll serve to balance out the shields that didn’t get used (um, maybe?), but really because it’s midnight and I don’t want to do more math. Further, Recount is showing me -Effective- healing on the PWShield Glyphs, meaning overheals aren’t shown, so it’s even HARDER to guess what my shields are preventing.
I’ll be looking into WWS to see if it’s a better alternative to tracking this data, because I’m really having a hard time accounting for Recount’s shortcomings on prevention.
Bah, anyway…
Overall spell distribution of ‘effective healing’ according to Recount was
- 27% Penance in 402 casts
- 23% Flash in 271 casts
- 17% Binding in 211 casts
- 14% PoH in 170 Casts
- 8.6% PWShield Glyph in 321 casts
- 8.4% PoM in 145 casts
A few things I’m noticing right away. PoM casts seem low, I’m not trilled with that number. If I can be as mindful of PoM as I am of Penance I should be able to put that number closer to 250.
PoH was much higher than I’d expected. I need to run the numbers to see if that’s at all an efficient (health/mana or heals/sec) thing to be doing.
I’m extremely happy to see so much Penance, I mean that spell is just SUPER.

Thorim Downed, here are some initial numbers
12% of the healing over 6 healers was mine. Recount, flawed as it is, is not counting prevention from Aegis or PW Shield here (I’ll rant on this later).
Note: 16.6% (repeating, of course) would be my ’share’ for 6 healers. What I ‘aim for’.
- 21% holy priest
- 17% resto druid
- 15% paladin
- 13% paladin
- 12% me10% holy priest
Flat healing distribution for myself
- 31% Penance in 56 casts
- 30% Flash in 47 casts
- 16% Binding in 24 casts
- 10% Glyph of PW Shield in 47 casts
- 10% PoM in 19 casts
- 3% PoH in 5 casts
