Quote:While I don't have a high-end Restoration Shaman (she's either Elemental or Enhancement, depending on my mood), a good friend of mine does, and he talks about talented Chain Heal like it's god's gift to shamans. I guess it's not as swank as Prayer of Mending or having a true HoT, but it does fill a niche role - healing multiple people at the same time. I guess Priests can do that too, with Circle of Healing, but I haven't seen any deep Holy Priests in PvP for a very long time.
I know this is kind of a hijack, mostly because I'm fairly certain you're not talking about 25-person healing, but it really is god's gift to shamans. Our guild only has one and a half resto shamans, and pushing fights like Teron, Mother, and especially Bloodboil with only one in the raid, even with two holy priests, is noticeably more difficult than two. I can only imagine SWP with one/two shammies as being far and away more difficult than most guilds which bring anywhere from three to six (!!). WTB Resto shammies:)
