Chain Heal

[mird99 0]

i have seen a lot of hype obout chain heal in vanilla, but found myself a bit disappointed when i got it at 40. Mana efficiency is fine when you heal 3 people, but the amount healed is pretty low and i'm often better of just spamming healing wave on multiple targets. i'm not 60 yet and it might change later, but so far it's very situational. Am i missing something?

In late game you have many situations where pretty much the whole group has taken damage from various mechanics and you can spam Chain Heal healing them up much faster and more mana efficiently than LHW or HW. (Also you'll have many items with +healing on them, boosting the heals from it significantly)

You have to consider the fact that you don't have any +healing gear. Mix that in with the 3 piece tier 2 bonus and chain healing is extremely strong. In many cases it doesn't matter if the target you are healing gets filled up while you're still casting the ability, since it will still bounce twice more to people that need the healing. Also most raids have 4 to 5 shammies on top of this so even using the weak rank 1 chain heals will be enough since everyone else is spamming it.

It's as people say. 3 piece T2 plus high +healing gear make Chain Heal much more potent later on, viable in both raids and battlegrounds.

It's an end-game spell.
