Improvements	[Resurgence], [Tidal Waves]

Healing Surge is a shaman ability learned at level 7. It has a very short casting time but doesn't heal for very much and costs a very high amount of mana. The spell was previously known as [Lesser Healing Wave], and is sometimes still referred to as LHW.

Notes

Healing Surge is less mana efficient than [Healing Wave]. The spell's only advantage is its short casting time, which only really applies when [Tidal Waves] is not available.

• [Resurgence] (Restoration only)
• [Tidal Waves] (Restoration only)
