Not an actual druid, mind you as I don’t have any idea how to legitimately commune with nature short of taking advantage of its shrubbery for relief purposes. However, having spent an unhealthy amount of time leveling my Worgen Druid in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, I feel confident enough to drop some knowledge on any of you other noobs out there that want to give healing a shot.
First, before we launch into the tips I’d like to say that there’s a reason this was my first true healer. In every other toon I’ve rolled straight DPS. Not necessarily because I hated the idea of healing, but hated the idea of being hated for healing incorrectly or poorly. It’s (mostly) a thankless job, but ultimately a fulfilling one that takes a bit more finesse than just doing raw damage.
Also, I should point out that I haven’t done any raid healing and this is just for keeping your Tank (See: meat shield) and party alive in standard dungeon runs.
Now, let’s get to the healing tip goodness.
Alright, so this is truly a quick ‘n dirty post, but again, hopefully some of you that are new to OS X will find this useful if you’re transitioning from Windows. When I first started using a Mac again I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to delete a file using the del key on my keyboard. At first I thought it might be a problem with the keyboard, but then after a quick search I found the answer to my problem- you have to hit del in conjunction with the command key. I found this to be just slightly unintuitive but it’s not a huge deal once you get used to it. Later this week I’ll do a post with a listing of commonly used mac shortcuts as well to help out anybody struggling with how to navigate the OS faster.
