curious on everyones opinion. What is the most fun healer in 2v2/3v3 arena? My subjective list is as follows
1.Hpal for the Cd management/aggressive style
2.Rsham for the utility. with 3 pack spirit it is pretty boring in 2’s but it is still fun to feel people’s hatred as u pillar them endlessly in dog form.
3.Rdruid/monk both feel a bit too easy, dont have to rely on cd’s, fake casting much. caccoon is so good it’s a little boring. managing mobility can be engaging. Rdruid cc and feral affin is pretty fun.
4.Disc I would like it if I was better at it I think. Getting trained every game feels brutal without huge vers
5.Holyprie 1 button accounts for 80% my healing. ZZZ
disc/hpal/rsham most fun
mw/rdruid literally afk until something happens. Hpal/disc/rsham make things happen.
You’d think holy preist would be the most fun and engaging given it’s vast and diverse tool set but OP you’d be mistaken.
I played it got around 1700 with it before realizing why am I putting myself through this pain when I could just play my hpal
There all stressful
MW: very fun because winning is fun, tools to save team in a pinch.Fun mobility , (all three specs are viable in pve, 2 in PVP). Game changing CC
Druid: Fun mobility, provides a different healing style than the others which suits a different mindset
DISC- Fun dps , gear dependent so grinding is hell
Rshammy:. Super fun in randoms to troll . Disappointing in Arena
Hpally: no experience seems fun but i fall asleep every time I try to gear one
Rsham is fun because of utility. It’s unfun when you actually have to heal someone and it does nothing
MW is fun because you can actually heal someone
There’s my summery of the two classes I play
Yeah I’d say disc is most fun but grossly fear and essence dependent
Disc and Hpal were a lot of fun since they’re aggressive healers. Really liked Disc once I got some gear even if my throughput was lower than my Hpal’s. Didn’t enjoy MW’s play style, don’t like Rdruid, and I don’t have an Rsham. Maybe Rsham is the next fun healer I can play?
rshamn is nice kicking as healer feels super empowering. I do feel squishy until i get pack spirit traits tho
As a disclaimer, all the classes in this game that I like are classes that can kite effectively. Over the years I’ve played more mage/hunter than anything else.
-
RDruid w/ feral aff, the only hybrid class in the game that still feels like a hybrid
-
Monk, the style of healing + the mobility make it fun.
-
Rsham, has a lot of utility but throughput on others is awful right now. Not fun for people to just die through your healing when you aren’t CC’ed at all.
4/5 Hpal/priest. I don’t really like classes that can’t kite well and rely heavily on partners to peel.
Shaman is the only one I can actually pick as my most favorite and fun healer I’ve played in my experience, but I really enjoy all healers.
I think now in their current state, each of them is significantly less fun and engaging as they once were, but at one point or another (Wrath/Cata with the exception of monk) I could and would play any healer and have fun on it.
Priest is most interesting because you can make things happen, and punish mistakes. Offensive dispels, damage, Mind Control to position people in unfavourable spots. It’s very gear dependent but has a high reward.
Shaman is similar, but less so in damage. Having purge and kick makes it great for playing offensive but you still have defensive utility like Earthgrab and Grounding. Tremor and grounding used offensively is great too, gives you choice.
Holy paladin is great fun vs anything that isn’t a mage or lock. You have tools that can be used to give you survivalibility, but ultimately your damage is all that you really bring to the game. You’re limited by cooldowns a bit on judgement so it’s basic design. At some point you get to “Welp, judgement and Holy shock are on cooldown, this is all I can do” and can’t push the game further into your favor.
Druid is amazing because you have a lot of tools, you can do damage as cat, passive damage with moonfire, and thorns, and you have amazing CC. Also, you can combat sheep spam with shift forms.
But something about shifting forms never did it for me. Maybe I need better hot keys, probably do, but I enjoy being in one form. I also hate the redundancy in Sunfire/Moonfire.
Monk is residentsleeper and the whole class should be reverted back to what they were in MoP. It’s just awful.
Holy in the 2nd half of Legion felt like perfection to play, the BfA iteration is nothing more than a cruel joke.
