Is there any spec that can somewhat reliably solo kill a healer?
And if not, what spec has the best chance of killing a healer solo?
Also I’m not asking specifically for arenas, I realize that environment isn’t balanced around 1v1, I’m just asking in general. In BGs, arenas, world PvP, which dps is the most threatening to a healer?
i can, but if the healer is realley good i cant.
it normal for the healer be inmortal, but actually you only need 2 people to be sure killl one, on dragon flay was necesary 4 people to kill my Dici prist.
No - Healers aren’t supposed to be soloable.
Why would you be targeting the healer? Just curious. That’s usually never the play in any scenario, other than to just apply pressure ofc
I can as a boomy pretty reliably so checkmate.
Don’t think OP exclusively meant in arena, think he meant in other scenarios.
Chances are very few specs can (asuming it’s a semi competent healer, also depends on which class), maybe rogue or spriest?
actually arms warrior can kill a healer solo, we always had this power, becouse we reduce the healing 100%, but no all the healers are killeable solo, the hardest was always the dici prist.
Arms warrior clearly needs nerf then.
Not ok.
Assassination rogue and sub
They shouldn’t be able to do damage then, especially with how mobile Prevokers are.
S Tier: Rogue (except sub), feral
A Tier: shaman during ascendance, DK, windwalker, marksman
im too lazy to make it more comprehensive than this
the key here is to do enough burst damage to kill them when they don’t have trinket
also, mortal strike debuffs
I’ve seen warriors absolutely destroy almost anything during its cds. And having MS obviously helps.
In arena or any other dampening scenario - yes. Feral/sub/assa can kill a healer, because they can avoid combat indefinitely until very deep dampening and then kill.
In the open world where there is no dampening, no matter what spec you play, you can never kill any healer 1v1, if they are good.
I think it’s a good thing. Healers should be offensively hard to get rid of. Without them the game would be so trivial and boring there would be almost no point to have any classes at all. In a game where roles are decided by class and spec…the one designed to keep people alive should indeed be near impossible to take down 1v1. I think it’s working pretty well. Just as no dps can kill a decent healer, name a healer than can kill a dps…it’s actually kinda perfect right now. In arena it will never matter because of dampening. If it comes down to 1v1 the healer is gonna die which makes sense cause…healers aren’t supposed to kill stuff. I’m not sure why even change anything. In fact if anything make them even harder to kill. It’s fun that way. You can just run away from a healer as a healer can just run away from you…if you wanna chase him for an hour that’s up to you but that’s exactly how it should be honestly.
Yes absolutely.
Best bet is an assassination rogue, survival hunter, feral druid, windwalker monk, or arms/fury warrior. That is if I don’t kill them first 
In open world? if you go mano a mano as dps you will probably die by slow attrition, but its not like the healer can chase you down and kill you so you both can walk away at anytime.
In bgs and arenas, if you can catch them without cds and bad positioning, along with dampening, yeah you can kill them
yea, in open area the disc priest is almost invencible
last monday i when to catch a ally whit bounty over his head whit my DICI PRIST, wasn’t any horde around. they were 10 ally’s , 2 parties, like allys always do, they dont like be alone in warmode.
but i was alone running like chiken and figthing, until some horda boys arrive, and saved me, but when i notice another bounty apeared in the map, was over my head.
the traitors wanted to kill me, becouse we were in neutral pvp area, i runned again, becouse horda never are in party , we fithg betwen us all the time, that why they chased me, until i get go out the pvp area.
in all the running i dont know how many pople killed but i got my achievement of assassin from this expansion.
Aff
Lol
In my full haste disc set with the voidweaver damage build I 1v1 warriors all day.
