IMHO, the videos are better because you get commentary by a healer when watching them.

Today, I tried my hand at healing because I based some of the classes off that option and I played support in League of Legends.

Being a lvl 20 discipline Priest at the time, I tried my first dungeon and did okay but the second time I couldnt keep up.

It really hurt when the tank died which broke my heart and she left the dungeon.

Feeling demoralized, I left also because I felt really bad about it.

Before hand, I tried to make macros and add addons to my interface but perhaps I did it wrong.

I dont know whether I should focus on DPS and the basics or not.

Its very proactive, so it really shines when you can predict and prepare for damage before it happens.

Which means that its a lot rougher to go into a fight for the first time as disc.

Also, because of the dps to healing mechanic, its a lot easier with macros or addons properly set up.

Unfortunately, many people expect everyone to already know the dungeons, so they wont always be patient with new healers and tanks.

This is a scenario where youll be put with a party of NPCs and youll heal them through some fights.

This can be a good way to get a feel for things without the stress of having real people in the group.

Its also a great place to test UI and macro stuff without making other people wait on you.

Its a different experience than PvE stuff, but its also good at making you use your entire toolkit.

If you queue up for the bigger battlegrounds, there will be enough people that things dont come down to relying on one player, which Ive found puts less pressure you.

It turned out he really wasnt much better than me he just didnt take it to heart when all his teammates died.

I was amazed at how calm he was about it as he said (to himself) they made mistakes.

If that had been me, I would have been blaming myself, taking it to heart, and looking for the door.

Thats when I learned two important lessons of healing in dungeons and raids.

Lesson 2: Sometimes it will be your fault but get over it and get better.

Its not an impossible thing, but youll definitely have an easier time of things if you pick up a healing addon like Clique and set up mouseover macros for your abilities.

Icy-veins has guides for all classes and specs, kept current by some of the best players for those classes.
