Pixels 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2016 Hey all! I have never played Vanilla WoW but hav3 been watching videos on what the content is like an became VERY interested. I am not sure yet as to what Class or Faction I wish to be yet. I was thinking of trying my hand at being a healer but I am curious as to what the healing classes are like and what is best for each faction? If anyone knowledgeable could give me some info on this I would so appreciate it! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunari 3 Report post Posted December 14, 2016 All healing types are needed, especially in the raid scene. I'd suggest playing what sounds like the most fun. The "best" may be a dwarf holy priest since fear ward is OP af. Alternatively, you can look at a census shortly after the server opens and see what is lacking. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaos 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2016 I agree on checking to see what a census would say on class representation, but if you're undecided, you can always roll a druid, shaman, or paladin. Each would primarily be used as a healer during raids, but can easily spec something else when not raiding when you want to do something different. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papajimboh 12 Report post Posted December 15, 2016 You can also find an instant 60 Vanilla server to try out a few classes and see how they feel, then once you decide on that, you can choose which race fits it well, or just go Dwarf because it's Azeroth's master race. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixels 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2016 Hey all! Thanks for all the input! It's gonna be great to experience the game like this. I am used to grinding due to my past experience in EverQuest. I would have responded sooner but work this time of year is keeping me busy. So yeah, I am actually thinking dwarf pally. I will research all of this and I am also researching what the addons were like back in Vanilla. Looking forward to smashing with everyone! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
