Video Guide: Raid Setup and Healer Cooldowns

Announcement

2 August 2026

Written by Penkek

Cairnsy kept getting asked for his cooldowns and how to import them, so he recorded how he actually sets up his team on WowUtils for the new tier: the guild group, the healer CD plans, and getting it all into Northern Sky Raid Tools. It works the same whether you run a guild or a pug community.

The chapters below jump straight to the part you need:

What the video covers

  • Setting up your group. Creating a community for a guild or pug team, inviting members, and letting raiders claim their own characters.
  • Building healer cooldown plans. Making a CD plan from your setup, using heatmaps to find where top teams cast their cooldowns, and giving healers edit access so they learn the fight while tweaking their own rows.
  • Importing comps that match yours. Filtering Warcraft Logs by your exact healer comp, mapping their roster onto yours, and pulling in just the raid CDs, mobility, and defensives.
  • Personal notes and packs. Turning a top log into a personal cooldown note, and grabbing shared plans from the Cooldown Library.
  • Getting it in-game. Copying shared and personal notes into Northern Sky Raid Tools.

Video walkthroughs now have their own home in the Help Center: Video Guides, next to the written guide for each step.


Thanks to Cairnsy for putting this together. If you make a video about WowUtils, share it in Discord and we will feature it too.
