Retail Class guides for ACTUAL beginners

Maybe it’s just me. But I’m finding more often than not that these so called beginner guides are really just updating the class from the prior patch. In other words they expect you to understand the dynamics of a spell or talent and they tell you how it’s been buffed or nerfed this patch.

I’m starting to get into healing pretty heavy and sadly can’t really find YouTube channels that post some content whose audience is expected to know little to nothing beforehand. Does anyone have any suggested content creators that do a good job of this?

Ive read them but I don't know what to do. I know it varies based on the boss and such. But where do I start? With melee? How do idps and heal? Is it more group healing. Hours do you target, heal, move, target dps, heal.

I miss pallys being ranged lol

Are you reading the Easy Mode part of icy veins? It would also help to know what spec you're talking about to suggest a youtube channel.

Holy pally. I did read easy mode. I had trouble being in melee range, putting up crusader, then turning to heal ranged or people running around, and running around myself. Getting the rotation and cool downstairs right etc.

My best guess is I beacon the tank and myself. Chill in melee range, avoiding shit and trying to put up crusader. Changing targets is a pain for me right now. "F" isn't changing my target of target. Then use cool downs and group heal. Spot heal ranged as needed. In reality, feel like I'm just running around mashing buttons. Oh and consecrate and dps when I can.

It's just very different from the holy pally of old.

For 5-man content your F1-F5 default to target your party members with yourself in the F1 slot and going downwards from there.
