Gnomeregan Full Clear Mage Healing Guide [Season of Discovery]

hey everybody back in phase two with the neron vaud review for mage healing uh I really like this dungeon compared to BFD um not necessarily because of mechanics or difficulty or whatever I'm just having a lot more fun um I'm going to go into this first fight explaining what I want to do on every fight where I'm not worried about conserving mana and you're going to see me screw it up so the goal here is to arcan blast three times and then pop presence of Mind Arcane power and shoot off a fourth instant Arcane blast and living flame um I screw it up because I auto a fourth Arcane blast instead of just casting it instantly uh so it kind of messes up my rotation I get a little disoriented but the rest of this fight is super straightforward uh just try to kill grubas as fast as possible he now despawns his ad whenever he does um there's really not a lot of raid wide damage going out so you don't have to like spread regen anywhere um just gun this guy down and uh move on to the next boss overall I feel like the first four bosses in this dungeon are pretty easy as uh Mage healer with the final two being a lot more difficult in terms of Mana uh conservation as well as Just Pure Healing per second that needs to come out um so we'll kind of dive into those fights a lot more later boss number two uh I don't actually know his name viscous Fallout uh this is I think my highest DPS fight uh so far in any of the raids I've done so we do the same opening except this time I do it correctly three Arcane blast into the instant now we have four arcan blast Stacks we throw off the living flame uh and just keep pumping uh this is a very similar fight actually to the first fight um there is a bit of raid wide damage that goes out when he spawns ads when there's poison pulls up um and it might look stressful as a mage healer if you're letting people get low but if you are running with a second healer they should be able to take care of a good amount of keeping people up from raid wide damage cuz it isn't this inevitable scaling thing that's going to kill them it's just something that happens so Focus On Healing your tanks focus on doing a bunch of damage and as you can see in this fight I was doing an insane amount of damage um if we killed it a little bit earlier we would have been in like the 400 DPS range um and I'm not really doing that much right we're just spamming arcane BL using Arcane missiles whenever you're proc uh and living flame is just doing a a ton of passive damage uh at the start of these fights two interesting things happen in this fight one right at the beginning and then one towards the end um I space out here I'm trying to focus on getting my opening down I don't realize the blast is towards me luckily it misses and it hits our our fellow Raider but it turns out if you get knocked into the bombs I think the bombs stop the knockback so you don't die so horse radish even though he got hit he did not fly off the platform um this fight overall is again pretty straightforward the cogs come out sometimes you have to move uh I try to be as conservative as possible with movement um if I see like a cog moving towards me I just kind of let it happen um and normally I don't get hit they change direction it's not a problem uh in the second part of this fight uh the boss uses a claw attack and I'm guessing some of you guys in your are wondering how you're supposed to heal the person after that cuz it feels like they get one shot uh well that mechanic is an accident so what you're supposed to do which is what I just do right now is if you are the claw Target go to your main tank um the one shot that he does normally comes in if the person highest on his threat is not within a range after the claw kind of grabs you but if he is you're not going to get Auto attacked you're not going to die you're just going to take a decent amount of damage over time uh and it won't be a problem so on crowd pumer if you see anybody get the claw if you're the main tank run to them if uh you are the person getting the claw run to your main tank so again my goal as a mage healer is to kind of keep the tank alive um and every now and then I can throw out an extra regen on players in the raed who I think are going to die but overall like total like raid wide damage I want my other healer to be taken care of um the alter alternative is I could swap to uh Mass regen for this fight and make it really easy because what happens is groups of three players um are taking a ton of damage every 20 or 30 seconds um so if you want to you can run Mass regen use it right after he uses this uh Arc ability heal them all up to full totally be good uh but in this fight we accidentally pulled early so I think we were all kind of confused and frazzled um I end up having to serve Mana a lot more than I would want on this fight this is kind of a a damage race right like the faster you kill this guy uh the better it's going to be longterm for everybody's Mana um but instead what I end up doing is using a lot of regen um which is eating into my Mana a lot more than I would want to uh and I didn't have time to prep so we have no uh Mona jewels in my back pocket I do have Evo I don't want to use it I want to use it on managerie um and it the cool down might be up before we get there but basically my real goal right now was kind of get my bearings on the fight uh once we kind of got it down uh we were doing the call it'ss pretty well I felt a little bit better um and then I think we get especially on these longer fights if you have living flame just remember to use it on cool down um I don't know if I'm trying to stack up to four Aran blast or if I don't realize I have it but I'll probably throw it out eventually or maybe I won't that's one of the things you can work on uh if you really are focused on doing as much damage as possible using living flame on cool down is key it does a ton of passive DPS I do eventually throw it out here after I realize um but yeah the boss is uh this was a little bit sloppy of a fight and I feel like a lot of players going into ner are going to have fights like this that are much longer than you normally would want them to be um that are a lot more damage going to the raid so this fight as as opposed to the previous three is most likely what you guys are going to experience um and then the fight that we're about to witness the managerie is something that even with this good group of players we have to me it is the hardest healing um situation for any Mage out there so I'll be talking a bunch about how I try to play it how our Strat is on it and uh how I think we can improve and and I can get better at least so for our managerie strategy we have one tank on the chicken uh tanked on on the left side of the room and then we have another tank on dragon and squirrel on the right side of the room uh the goal being that we keep all of the other mobs away from the Sheep um all of our rang start on the sheep and then at 75% 50% 25% Health the ranged have to swap off because he has a reflect on him um as a mage healer I'm actually I think I went into this running living flame I thought about swapping to Arcane surge but instead I just have monop Poots and mons as well as evocation so this is this fight why it's so mono intensive is because I am healing both tanks um I'm keeping regen up 100% of the time on both tanks um and I am attempting to basically be spamming Arcane damage anytime I'm not doing that right uh the part of the difficulty of this fight is ranging your healers um you never know you know if you do split the room up uh if you can be in range of one tank uh you might not be in range of the other that only really matters for an Arcane healer if uh the Regeneration buff is going to fall out so we kind of get a benefit to that where I can be positioned really anywhere as long as I can do damage to one thing and then it'll heal Whoever has the the buff on him right so it's a pretty big uh Boon here versus like what other healers might want to do um in this fight I never go up to foran blast I don't think the goal here is to conserve Mana um anytime arcan barrage comes up use it uh again keep the debuffs or uh keep the Regeneration Buffs up on your tanks Dodge the breaths um I feel like the dragon breath is pretty lenient actually um and then what the rest of your raid is going to be doing is trying to do as much equal damage uh to these bosses as possible um when the dragon does I think it's called overload and it does a bunch of like AOE damage um we have our melee run out and then once he's done with that they run back over so we're I think targeting the squirrel initially um when he gets too low we can Target the dragon um when they're overloaded all the melee can run over and Target the uh chicken so we're only about halfway through the fight I think um but if you don't have mons uh because you forgot if you don't have evoc kid up for this fight um and if you want to take advantage of like the raid mechanics you can actually be pressing buttons um so the buttons on the machines here even though they don't do anything as a fight mechanic um you can press them to get mono back my only issue with that is that positioning uh comes into play so if you're doing this double tank Strat that's very split uh and you go to press a button you're guaranteed that one of your tanks is going to be out of range uh so I save it as like a last resort type situation um and then I think maybe overall I start to panic at the end of this fight um I am low on Mana I don't know if I evocate just because I don't know if I can spare it uh but I think I do end up blinking onto one of the buttons um like right now one of my tanks doesn't have regen on him and I don't know if he's getting clucked or or what but uh I'm definitely stressing out uh all of them have gone under 25% so none of their AOE mechanics are going to happen we group everything up uh excluding the sheep and then we try to burn it uh I don't actually need a button on this fight um in previous runs I definitely had to go get more Mana but in this run we all did a great job um and just kind of kind of killed it so yeah this is definitely the hardest fight in this dungeon as a mage healer um keeping regeneration up on two tanks worrying about where they are um worrying about your Mana all of it comes into play uh definitely my favorite fight also I don't know if you know but if you run out before the boss spawns and then he spawns and then the fight starts you just get immediately murdered I think they patched this I think the boss doesn't have a massive aggro radius when he spawns now so there's that for the final fight uh as a mage healer my priority 100% is just keeping my t alive um if you're in a group where somebody's telling you oh you should be pressing buttons or you should be taking care of bombs tell them anybody else but you right just because you're ranged doesn't mean that you're the you're the guy to do it it would just make this so much harder for you um we are very lucky our comp in BFD and in ner has always been kind of wonky we don't play meta comps but then like it turns out they're like great for the raids so we have two um metamorphosis warlocks that just insta Target the bombs and click the buttons so this fight what you're going to see is a very very easy version of the mechor fight um and it kind of shows you what you can do if you have ranged who are solely dedicated to kind of pressing these buttons killing these bombs um the difficulty of this fight is these bombs coming out and putting DG on the ground and the raid going crazy um everything else is pretty straightforward we have our tank uh whenever he pops this flamethrower just kind of cut him around the room I focused on keeping our tank alive he's taking a ton of damage um and what that turns into is basically do as much damage yourself as possible keep regen on him as much as possible um and save your evocate for any of the phases where there's some downtime um our warlocks are killing it on these bombs you're basically going to see none of them affect us that is the real difficult of this fight so if you guys have been having trouble doing it um think about just maybe sacrificing damage on two of your ranged to have them solely focus those bombs um I know a lot of people like to parse if you do end up doing that strategy maybe swap off each week so that one week you have your off week and then the next week you you can do damage somebody else can take care of the bombs but it's 100% the way to do this fight uh it is night and day um and going into phase too this is actually the hardest part as a mage healer um he does a ton of damage in this phase and I haven't quite figured out why like I know the damage stacks off of like how many players I think in the raid have this Frost debuff but I'm not quite sure why this phase in particular he's doing a ton more damage than uh in Phase One or in phase three so I'm trying to hold on for as much as I can do I don't don't think we actually have a second healer here I think we have a shadow priest horseradish might be doing double heals I I think horseradish is healing so it's me and horseradish um Druids don't really have super direct heals either uh so we're kind of lacking in in this fight where he gets knocked down uh this might be a situation where had we wiped here it probably would have swapped a Chrono static um and just stored that up for when he got nuked by the ice punch but we we we got through it um phase three is supposed to be or at least it was early on like the phase where people would wipe uh then we discovered that what you interrupt the poison and it's all good so uh again this is a phase where sometimes raid wide damage can start creeping up on you uh I would not panic but I popped Evo I'm at full Mana um I'm really not worried I'm just focused on keeping my tank alive and this was the phase where our raid group kind of realized like oh this is this is a little bit easier than we thought it was going to be uh our first two times that we've kind of attempted it we're a little wonky um and then we ended up just kind of walking in here and just deleting all these bosses our third attempt you have counter spell if uh your tanks interrupt misses but none of that has ever happened to me yet I don't even know the chance to miss for like one-handed yellow main attacks in in these raids just cuz everybody's only plus two instead of plus three but uh you always have that as a backup in case something goes wrong you can interrupt um once this guy hits 50 Final Phase once again kind of gets a little hairy where that ice attack could uh get your tank low our tank has a good amount of uh gear going into the raid and he's only gotten more gear so even though these are kind of early om raids it's going to it's just going to get easier um the more gear everybody gets and yeah I think the biggest thing on this fight I would say is just use evocation um it kind of trivializes any Mana conservation that you have to do on this fight uh I don't even recreate my second Jewel honestly doesn't matter you guys are just going to take this guy out and then again in phase three all of the mechanics you're seeing are boss mechanics because are warlocks are just doing such a good job at killing the bombs um this fight when I initially came into this dungeon it was like super chaotic was much harder than I thought it was I thought managerie and this fight were going to be like the highest tier difficulty we had seen yet um not the case all you really need to do is focus on keeping the bombs in check and the rest of the raid has the easiest time in this dungeon it really is just kind of a gear check outside of that where the tanks going to be taken a ton of damage can you keep them up can your range deal with the bombs and uh overall this is I think our third week or fourth week or uh third uh reset or fourth reset of nomer I'm already feeling really good about it I'm almost want to try to one heal it um as a as a mage and I could easily swap from living flame to mass Regen to do more raid healing uh try to kind of push myself as a Healer to see if I could just do it I'm pretty sure we can and I'm pretty sure you could still pump out a good amount of damage um without living flame but yeah overall loving the raid uh if you guys have any questions let me know I will put in uh once again my lvi below as well as some other stuff that people have been asking for but I've been having a great time I think this raid is way better than BFD in my opinion um and I'm really excited to find out what they're going to do in phase three so as always thanks everybody like subscribe I will catch you guys in the next one [Music] o o
