mav0 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2016 Just need some input on vanilla BG healers. I played a warrior in vanilla (might end up just rolling a warrior again ) so I do not remember which is strong. I know priests are great in pve and is my first choice right now. I will not play a paladin but want some feedback on resto druids and shamans in BGs. I am also aware shamans can spec enhance and be effective in BGs. Just help me choose a healer to roll please . No trolls please. Hope everyone is having a great holiday! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fubbzy 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2016 rdruids are fun, but not optimal if you are going for just healing. imo roll rdruid if you get frustrated with being in any form of cc, because between your pvp trinket (removes stuns/fear/charm), disentanglement (removes slows/roots when u shift), and beast forms (immune to mc/manaburn/seduce/polymorph) you dont have to rely much on support of other players defensively, so it gives you a lot of freedom and uptime. They can only cleanse poison and curses, and provide no direct buff to allies like freedom or pw shield, so they are not favorable among bg healers. shamans play like an offensive healer, they sometimes struggle to stay ahead on healing because they only have one emergency button (NS) which can also be used offensively to burst a target with chain lightning. Most people dont destroy totems so i think youll be fine, but a lot of utility comes from fragile totems which even casters can melee down, so theres that to consider. They have a lot of uses with frostshock, earthshock interrupts, and purge, and can help you carry bad dps that doesnt cs, etc. They pale to paladins in prem v prem, but still lots of fun and can hold their own. also, enhance is not really effective in bgs, thats a geared elemental. enhance will get kited forever, and if you ever reach your target you have a small chance to take out a chunk of hp and then you probably die because you are oom and overextended. If that sounds fun, go for it but you will probably get bored. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mav0 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2016 so either r druid or priest? i guess priest is the best for all around pve and pvp, cause I can go shadow if I want to do dmg. feral isn't viable in vanilla? I do not remember Also thanks for the detailed response. Shamans sound underwhelming imo 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
