Ntbud 14 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) I don't know much about PvE healing, both in regards to 5-10mans and also raids. I was wondering if PvE healing in general is the same amongst the different classes, or if it's more difficult / easier for some? For example, Shaman vs Priest, is one considered harder or easier than the other? Is it simply one spams chain heal and the other spams flash heal, or is there more to it than that?

gotmilk0112 10 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 Healing in vanilla is not very difficult. You really only need to get used to using different ranks for different healing amounts, and that's about it. Shaman is arguably harder since you have to worry about keeping totems active. But really neither are particularly hard. Priest is easier in 5mans since you have more tools, like bubble and renew and PoH, whereas Shaman just has single target heals and Chain Heal. Priest also gets you a Stam buff, which is very useful for ensuring the tank stays alive. But really, neither one is inherently "better" than the other. Play whichever one you like more. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lied 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 Every healer has it's own merits on the healing aspect. Priest: Fast/"Instant" Heal Shaman: Chain H/Totems Druid: Big Heals/Enervate Each class has its own fun to play but, its not a one-button-spam job, and the bosses in vanilla are not tank-and-spank, so the more complicated your involvement in healing will be, the better player you can become in your class, its all about skill and mana management and not about numbers, and addons are important to be able to have a good view of what is going on, who got aggro before he/she starts getting hit etc. And since Raids are 40 man, there is a place not only for all the classes (you wont be able to have heals from only one class and do anything) but for a variety of healing specs on each. A low geared priest with a lot mana/5 can go on dispelling/decursing and a high +healing priest can focus on Greater Heal if he has low latency and good grasp of the tactics. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
