A WoW Forever guide. Check the stated version and date: mechanics may change during development.

Before a difficult encounter, make sure you can tell membership apart in whatever display you use. A familiar name alone is not enough. You want a quick way to identify the players who belong together, especially when several are falling at the same time.
Pick the need, then the representative
Suppose several players in one need healing while most of another remain healthy. Choose someone from the injured before deciding to use heal. The lowest individual is useful information, but it does not always identify the with the greatest shared need.
The source includes in the affected . Remember them when checking the result, without assuming that this means every nearby creature or every player is covered. Selecting the intended also does not remove the spell’s other requirements. Check the actual ability description on the version you are using.
Rehearse the selection without a rush
For a simple exercise, identify one , select a member and say which players you expect to receive the heal. Compare that expectation with what you actually observe when the ability is available. Record a mismatch rather than guessing why it happened. This guide makes no claim of a completed local test.
