"7.Analyzing realmplayers data"
debunks this entire thread.
healing is dynamic, not linear with numbers.
every boss encounter is different.
sometimes you do 0 healing on encounters or barely any at all.
the real goal you should be focusing on is player deaths and boss kills with 0 wipes.
all except a few guilds, most of the people who claim to have high HPS/effective healing end up being in the most wipefest of a raid.
meter's do not judge performance for a healer outside of making sure they aren't AFK.(easier way to check that outside of raid stats). if 1 or 2 players are super high on hps, while others are low. it means there is an imbalance of heals somewhere. (1 or 2 are doing too much work). another indicator could mean that your raid is shit and taking more damage then needed. (stop standing in fire like a retail pleb).
good guide nonetheless. just remove the #7 part as it has nothing to do with being a healer. anyone can be high HPS with a heal macro they mash... that doesn't make them good or knowledgable. (hence why meters don't mean shit)
