Chain Heal is very very very effective with a combination of a ton of plus healing which will significantly help your raid. with 1k +healing you can shoot 3 lesser healing waves at once.

Excellent for use with the Improved Chain Heal talent and with 3 pieces of Ten Storms.

Kommentar von Mentos

What's the +Healing coefficient?

Kommentar von Carighan

For general "run off the mill" raidhealing, use Rank4, not this one.
Rank4 costs substantially less mana for only slightly reduced healing, improving your overall manaefficiency noticably.
Plus, there's few fights where Rank4 wouldn't be enough healing, but Rank5 would be.

Those fights do exist, however - undergeared Void Reaver fights come to mind, if you don't have a Priest to assist with some Circle of Healing spam - and that's when you use this rank. Or for PvP or heroicmode, ofc.

Does anyone know the max range for jumps? Is it the same as the range on the cast?

Kommentar von samarium

A question for experienced Chain Healers - the wording of the spell says "If this is cast on a party member, it will only jump to other party members."

I can assume that casting it on a member of your own party will constrain the heal to said party, but if you cast it on a player outside of your party, will it jump to other people who happen to be standing nearby, but aren't in a party together?

Similarly, if you cast it on a player outside your own party who is in a party with someone else AND happens to be standing near somebody not in a party with anybody at all, can it chain between them?

If I ever get the chance to test this myself I'll update this post, but obviously it's somewhat difficult to get people to join parties with each other in this specific way, take damage somehow, then stand just right so I can test it myself.

EDIT: It's bad form to rate down questions simply because they're questions. Questions with obvious answers perhaps, but this is a legitimate question and deserves an answer - after the answer is given and we have greater insight into the mechanics of this spell, then it might be appropriate to rate the question off the boards, leaving only the answer.

Purification (+10% healing done) and Improved Chain Heal (+20% healing done) will add to this number, bringing it up to 165% of your +healing.

This assumes that all talents/bonuses that increase the amount healed by spells stack Multiplicatively :

125% Base healing * 110% Purification * 120% Imp. Chain Heal = 165%

However, if the bonuses stack Additively, then the amount healed by spells decreases to...

125% Base Healing * ( 1 + 10% Purification + 20% Imp. Chain Heal ) = 125% * 130% = 162.5%

It's a small difference, but Blizzard programmers / mathematicians have been known to nerf player bonuses in a myriad of small and subtle ways like this. (See: Spell/Melee Haste)

Kommentar von Erethzium

Ehh, what's the point of having 3 bounces if it goes:

1st target: 100%
2nd target: 50%
3rd target 0%

Or does it not actually reduce effectiveness by 50%?

Kommentar von 216609

Why can we spam better? I don't understand

Kommentar von davenrothz

Will this chain heal jump to anyone in the raid as well, not just your individual party?

Kommentar von davenrothz

Does chain heal only heal those in your party while in a raid setup, or if in a raid setup it simply jumps to whoever is in the raid regardless of the party/group makeup?

Kommentar von 39318

In raids this spell is the most effective heal shamans have and is generally used 100% of the time when raid healing.

Kommentar von 178827

Actually, in an attempt to make healers cast something else, not just CH spam, all the important healing procs from the Resto tree were modified so as not to proc off CH: Ancestral Awakening, the 25% armor buff.....

Kommentar von 361947

Do the bounced heals jump to random allies or do they automatically jump to allies that have taken damage?

Kommentar von codered81

Does anyone know the range of a chain heal "jump" after it lands on its first target? When raid healing on KT, my healing is way better just using LHW spam instead of CH since people have to be spread out for that fight. Never used CH for that fight because I just figured the CH would have less of a chance to jump in a fight like that.

Kommentar von Resto

The jump range is 8 yards, but there changing it to 10 yards in 3.2

Kommentar von Skullhawk13

I noticed something, No other healer class gets a "bread and butter" . as I hear people call it, kind of spell at level 40, Unless you count plate for paladins something a HEALER can't live without.
I mean Paladins get plate, I suppose druids get swiftmend but that is a talent and on a cooldown. and sure priest gets talents as well, but thats just it, By this level all other healers HAD already had all they really needed to be at their full healing execpt shamans =\

Feel free to correct me and downrate me to heck :D

Plain and simple...

BEST HEAL EVER!

Kommentar von brucek2

Some notes from my testing in 4.0.1 (some of which may already be common knowledge to more experienced shammys):

Each person healed by the chain has their own chance to to get the Earthliving HoT buff. Each individual heal will independently crit or not, and those that do will give the subject Ancestral Healing (the 10% physical damage reduction buff) and the caster their 40% chance for an Improved Water Shield mana recovery. Nice! (However I'm not certain whether or not a single chain heal cast can activate more than 1 IWS recovery.)

The Nature's Blessing talent (which gives 15% bonus healing to units with the Earth Shield buff) and the Spark of Life talent (15% bonus to self heals) will apply no matter where those units are in the chain. However the bonuses will not pass down the chain to anyone else, no matter whether the the unit with the bonus was the targeted unit or not. Bonus healing due to a critical hit will also not travel down the chain.

Chain Heal will not proc Ancestral Awakening (the extra crit heal.)

The spell will only jump to units that are at less than 100% health. This is a bummer in 5 mans because it means you will often get fewer than 4 people touched, meaning you'll miss out on those chances to proc ancestral healing, earthliving, and Improved Water Shield. It also means you can't jump through a healthy person to get to an injured person who is otherwise out of range.

However, if your initial target is at 100% health, it will touch them and then attempt to jump to an injured target from there.

When cast directly on a unit with a Riptide HoT, the entire chain will receive a 25% healing bonus and the remaining Riptide HoT will be immediately eliminated/wasted (vs applied immediately which was my original, optimistic interpretation of "consumed").

The 30% buff from Focused Insight (for casting a Shock) applies to the entire chain, not just the first target.

Riptide HoTs that are touched mid-stream (ie not targeted directly) are ignored and do not trigger the behavior above.

Each unit receives their own "roll" as far as the exact healing done. Ie if person #1 was eligible for healing of 100-200, and rolled a 150; it means person #2 will be eligible for 70-140 and get their own roll, vs. receiving exactly 105 (70% of what the first person got.)

The old bug whereby the chain would stop if it reached the caster in any position other than the 1st, appears to now be fixed.

Kommentar von 372377

Well, it was a shaman's bread and butter heal but now it no longer adds your full bonus healing to it. Thought it was a bug, but GM said "Working as intended". Way to go. I guess they figure that now all healing classes are single target, why not shamans as well. Went from almost 19k first target heal before chain, to now 9k (these are crits mind you) first target before chain. For all I know their tool tips in game are now showing with +healing and the spell really go nerfed.

Kommentar von 441563

Kinda surprised there's no comments about it, but ever since wrath at least chain heal has had the same casting animation as the pally/priest rez. Seems kinda weird that a shaman would be able to use holy-looking magic for their chain heal, but who knows?

I really think blizz should get around to thinking up a new animation or just using the same one as healing wave and other heals.

Kommentar von Calethy

I am looking for a macro where, when I cast chain heal, I will say something about the target.. but I don't want it to be said multiple times. Is there a way to make it so I say it like... 50% of the time?(I probably won't use the value of 50%, I was just using it as an example.)

Kommentar von BobaFettReturns

anyone notice that when u cast chain heal it sounds like thunder?

Kommentar von Asclepius99

The range that this jumps needs a serious increase.
People are almost always too far spread for this heal to be used anymore and it's very annoying. Almost every boss has a mechanic that needs people to spread out . There's only a few occasions that we get to use our only good raid healing spell, and far less occasions we get to use our bunched up sweet aoe healing rain. I use it more to get ppl up from a wipe than I get to on the fights. >.<

Kommentar von Pope

Ok, summary-time.
Imagine a normal Chain Heal without the glyph.
10k First Heal - 7k First Jump - 4,9k second jump - 3430 third jump = 25330 Total Heal

When you buff Chain Heal with 1) Focused Insight 2) Unleash Life 3) Riptide on first target,
it buffs the whole chain.

Healing modifiers / crits / mastery are not carried through the chain.

So when the first target crits for 20k, the second target is still healed for 7k.
Or when the first target is the tank with an Earthshield (18% increased heal), it heals for 11800. But the second target is still healed for 7k.

Kommentar von guatafu

Awesome heal but why does it look like a holy spell? Please fix that blizz

Kommentar von arkensis

Just a note on Chain Heal:
The current Talent Calculator for Mists of Pandaria shows that Chain Heal will no longer be a class-wide spell, but only available to Restoration spec.

While probably not a major issue, it might result in a larger use of Healing Rain for multi-target healing by non-Restoration specs.

Kommentar von Wevy

This spell is likely to change in 5.4. If it goes live, healing won't be reduced after jumping, making it more powerful.

Kommentar von 1057802

Based on my not-so-extensive testing in WoD, here's how Chain Heal operates. Your primary target should have Springflut, since this increases the heal by 25% for all targets. It then jumps to a second injured raid member within 10* yards of the primary target, then a third target within 10 yards of the second (range to primary doesn't matter), and a fourth target within 10 yards of the third. These three jumps increase to about 35 yards with Ausgebrannte Glyphe, but aren't affected by the presence or absence of Riptide.

After that, if you have Hochwasser, Chain Heal checks to see if there are any Riptided targets within about 25 yards of the primary target. They can be nowhere near the previous target or each other - as long as they have Riptide. This range is not affected by Glyph of Chaining.

Suppose you're healing a tank and three melee DPS fighting a boss, while you and a ranged DPS are 20 yards away. With Riptide on you and the ranged DPS (and hopefull your primary target, although not necessarily), with High Tide, you should be guaranteed to hit all six as long as your primary target is the tank or one of the melee DPS. Chain Heal would do its usual bounces amongst the melee, before finding only two possible Riptided targets in range. However, if you and the ranged moved in with the melee, your Chain Heal might only hit 4-5 targets, since that would put the Riptided targets in range of the inital three bounces. If one or both Riptided targets is chosen by the first three bounces, then they won't be available to be chosen for one of the two "extra" Riptide-only bounces.

To really test the limits of Chain Heal, with or without Glyph of Chaining or High Tide, redo Proving Grounds: Basic Healer (Bronze) and try to get everybody with one Chain Heal. If I target Oto, I can usually get Kevan or Sooli but not both (even Riptided), but sometimes he stand 40 or more yards from the ranged. It's easier if I stand between the ranged and melee and target myself, but I'm not usually the one who needs the most healing.

As far as I can tell, Chain Heal is somewhat "smart" in that it always tries to heal injured targets whenever possible, but it's no longer as "smart" as it was in the past, when it would prioritize the most injured targets.

TARGET HEAL W/O HT HEAL W/ HT RANGE W/O GLYPH RANGE W/ GLYPH FROM
Primary 150% 150% 40 yd 40 yd Caster
2nd 90% 100% 10 yd* 35 yd Primary
3rd 81% 100% 10 yd* 35 yd 2nd
4th 73% 100% 10 yd* 35 yd 3rd
5th w/ Riptide N/A 100% 25 yd 25 yd Primary
6th w/ Riptide N/A 100% 25 yd 25 yd Primary

Base heal for each target is 264% Spell Power if primary target has Riptide (162.5% Spell Power x 130% for x 125% if primary target has Springflut)

*I believe it used to be 12.5 yards between jump targets, and maybe it still is, as it's hard to tell exact range, but I think it's closer to 10 yards.

CHain Heal's sound of thunder has gone. WHy?

Kommentar von coan

Since it's not anywhere, the jump range for Chain Heal is currently 15 yards (and was that range in legion as well). This was not documented anywhere but a blue post during the legion beta sadly. (link would be here: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20743726125?page=2#31 but sadly gone). Though, folks are welcome to test this themselves ingame as well.

Seems like this was captured on archive.org here so the source is visible again, somewhat. Otherwise, also, this screencap in case it gets lost again later, somehow.
