Improved Healing Wave

Improved Healing Wave is a Shaman talent in the Restoration tree. It reduces the casting time of the Healing Wave (Classic) spell.

By reducing the casting time, this talent greatly increases the healing done per second when chain-casting Healing Wave. The potential healing per second is increased by 20% when fully talented, making Healing Wave the most potent single target heal available to a Restoration shaman.

The faster casting time also makes the spell less unwieldy to use in general and easier to land on a target that is about to die, since the heal will land faster. The talent is included in virtually every Restoration build.
