I don't know if anyone out there is having a similar problem. This is my dilemma. I will cast a greater heal on someone (usually the tank). I will see the casting bar go all the way up like my heal has gone off and I will watch to see that they are getting life and I will have to cast again because they didn't get the heal. This happens randomly, not always, and at the worst times. I have gotten into the habit of also watching the numbers on the health bars, so I know the heal didn't work. I don't know if it is an issue with addons, but I would be interested in knowing if this is an issue with anyone else. This is not my main, but she is fairly geared and I don't think this should ever happen to healers. | |

Two possibilities come to mind: 1) Your target got the heal, but simultaneously took damage. This happens a lot. 2) You thought you were targeting the tank, but the heal went elsewhere. If you're using mouseover macros, it's not too hard to accidentally throw a heal in the wrong direction. It could be something else, but given your explanation these seem the most likely. I recommend keeping a combat log in a convenient location and checking to see what it says when this happens. If it's one of the above, you'll be able to tell immediately. |

Ask the tank if he recieved the heal if he dies it will be right there easily found for him/her. I have to agree is more then likely the tank took spike damage at same time heal went off.

/agree with Coldcut. Also option #3 is that you are losing packets and although you cast the heal, it never actually was received. My guess is that your heal was neutralized by the tank's damage, so it LOOKS like it didn't land, but if it hadn't it would have looked far worse. Is is during particular fights/instances? Mortal stike? :p Yeah, run a combat log - You will then know for sure. --
