prior to ulduar i was a tank and had never been resto spec ever. since ulduar came out with duel spec i decided to have my off-sepc resto. but seeing as our guild has plenty of tanks i was asked to heal eventhough i had major crappy gear (pre wrath of the lich king gear). so over the past month i have been healing and getting upgrades slowly and learning how to heal as resto.
i have not been low on the healing charts at all compared to the other geared healers…skill? i do get to tank heroics but it’s just not the same as tanking XT or the adds on Ignis.
in the beginning i found healing to be extremely difficult as i was not used to it but over the past few week i have learned how to heal and use the different abilities. i’ve really enjoyed healing up until now and i do miss tanking, but getting to see new bosses and that is way more fun and entertaining than bitching and moaning cause you can’t get to play your preferred spec. i still get to upgrade my tanking gear of course, so i am definitely not complaining!
with this new skin change to the feral bear and cat forms, i just wish blizzard would have also had a look at the tree and moonkin forms too! seeing as in our raid group sometimes you have 1 bear and about 6 trees.
so for now, resto is my thing until we lose a tank or i get the chance again to be tank.
