Hi, my names Acido and I am a level 80-restoration druid on Bloodhoof Eu,

Just a note...you will find no flashy stuff here

First things first... and first is Minimum stat requirements for Naxrammas 10 man

Just as a note if you can heal Heroic Halls of Lighting you can Manage Nax 10 man

Minimum Stats

Thinking about health is important for certain fights e.g. malygoes but you will get that from your healing gear so don’t gem for stamina etc.

Paladin
Spell power: 1300-1500

14K Mana
1400 Spell Power
200MP5 while casting

Shaman


* +Healing - 1500 unbuffed
* Spell Haste - 250ish
* Spell Crit - 15%

(Special thanks to whiteshade on ghost lands EU for that one)

Number crunching over.... for now

Addons

My personal favourite addon for healing is a bit of a pain to set up but once its working its good, but its by no means the be all and end of all of healing.

Setting up healbot.

As a druid I found the default settings easy and efficient with only slight tweaking however I will show the full customization of this great addon aswell (when my wow is fixed -.- damn you blizz!!!)

Clique is a simple GUI that lets you assign click-casting for any number of unit frames. Click casting allows you to define the behaviour the game takes when you click on a frame. This can be casting spells, running a macro, using an item, or something as simple as changing targets or assisting a unit (alternative healbot).

To begin with Clique, simply open your spellbook, and click the new tab that exists there. This is the Clique configuration tab, and you can open it anytime you are not in combat to configure your clicks.

If all you want is simple spell casting, find the spell in your book, and click on it (using the combination of keys and mouse button you would like) and it will be added to the list on the right-hand pane. You can always cast the MAX rank of a spell, by clicking the "Max" button when you have a spellcast selected.

In addition to basic click-casting, Clique has the concepts of click-sets. There are four different click-sets that can be selected (in the upper right-hand corner):

Default: These are the fall-through actions that will be used when another action isn't found.

Harmful actions: These actions will be taken if you are clicking on a mob that is hostile to you (i.e. it's attackable). This allows you to define a different set of clicks for enemies.

Helpful actions: These actions will be taken if you are clicking on a mob that is an ally (i.e. it's assistable). This allows you to define a different set of clicks for supporting your allies.

Out-of-combat: These clicks override any other click-set, and only exist when you are out-of-combat (such as buffing your party, etc). This prevents you from say, group buffing in the middle of combat, costing half of your mana bar.

Clique and dual talent specs
In addition Clique allows you to set up different profiles, and can automatically switch between them when your character changes talent groups. In order to set this up, simple create the two profiles you would like to use (on the Profiles) button, and then open the Options button to set them to your primary and secondary specs.

Here are some videos of how to use Clique:

* Please note, Clique does not need any of the software downloaded in this video, other than Clique itself. Clique works with the default UI and most unit frame addons. You do NOT need to download WowAceUpdater or Grid in order to use Clique *

How to use Clique
1. Install the addon
2. Open your spellbook
3. You should see a new tab. This is the Clique configuration UI. Click on this tab to open the Clique UI
4. You should see a row of buttons at the bottom, but lets ignore them for now.
5. Navigate to a spell in your spellbook (It can be anything that isn't passive, including Pet spells)
6. Click directly on the spell, holding down any of the Alt/Control/Shift keys in combination, or none of them.
7. This defines a "click-cast" in the CliqueUI. Now anytime you use that combination of modifiers and button on any unit frame which is defined as click-castable, you will cast the spell ON THAT UNIT if it’s able to be a targeted spell.
8. Click on the Clique tab again, to close the configuration UI

How do I STOP Clique from click-casting on a specific frame, but leave it active on others

1. Open the spellbook
2. Open the Clique UI
3. Click the "Options" button.

Any frames that are checked will be managed by Clique. Simply find the frame in the list, and uncheck it. If you don't know the name of a frame you can use the following script, while putting your mouse over the frame:

/script ChatFrame1:AddMessage("You are hovering over frame: " .. GetMouseFocus():GetName())

How do I set up common profiles for my priests, for example

1. Open the spellbook
2. Open the Clique UI
3. Click on the "Profiles" button
4. Click on the "New" button
5. Type in the name of the profile you'd like to create, say "Priests"
6. Click "Ok"
7. You will see confirmation in your main chat frame that Clique has changed to the new profile.

How do I select that profile on another character, so they can share?

1. Open the spellbook
2. Open the CliqueUI
3. Click on the "Profiles" button
4. Select the profile you would like to choose
5. Click on the "Set" button
6. You will see confirmation in the main chat frame that Clique has changed to the profile.

(Yes a mate did right the Clique bit for me as i do not use the addon but it seems easy to use)
