just looking for opinions and why
Resto shaman because of grounding totem and spell kick.
Rshm is pretty fun but not if you have to actually be depended on to heal
resto druid
- great healing, barely have to cast. just keep hots up and do insane healing
- shapeshift out of snares/roots instantly
- feral affinity = big dam
- guardan affinity = livelord
- cyclone is one of the best cc in the entire game
- root/stun/blink/shapeshift/hos/dots basically have every type of spell in the game
- cooldown game on point
- does great healing even outside of cooldowns
- get bored of healing spec and boomkin is very great/fun. bear druid is literally most broken spec in game. boomkins r only class with 45 yard base rnge on spells and beaer druids can top dmg and heals with just a few buttons
etc
druid has basically been one of the s tier classes for the past 12 years or so
I’ve played all the healers pretty heavily except priest. Pure fun factor, it’s Mistweaver for me.
It’s definitely been gutted some and shifted around which I hope Shadowlands fixes but Z-Axis teleporting and the mobility is super fun.
You can also line up your own cc chain with incap-sweep-song for a nasty CC chain in 2s.
Also the throughput is really high so you can recover pretty quickly at the expense of mana.
Some definite downsides. Your mobility is your best defense, so if you get caught at the wrong time it can be gg.
PvE wise, again really solid throughput especially in 5 mans mythic plus but the damage can be lacking compared to say hpal which just farts dps.
Overall my favorite though but it’s not for everyone. I’ve heard people trying it out first time say how it’s confusing at first but I started healing with MW in MoP with chi so it doesn’t register for me but definitely different if you are coming from another healer.
Honestly feel like they have destroyed what made most healers fun. Can’t rly play my rdruid which was fun from cc and offensive clones. Pala is boring af… fa cc and so crit dependent. Priest was fun af but it’s been destroyed…
rsham/rdruid
holy paladin is often played with ‘fun’ fast paced comps like fire/melee/hpal or spriest/melee/hpal
(often feral/rogue/arms)
but hpal itself is incredibly 1 dimensional to me personally
mw is pretty exclusively a cleave healer outside of really good players utilizing mw in double wizard comps
mw to me is so incredibly boring you more often than not are rewarded for not doing anything
you’re often punished for getting bored and trying to push in to do anything
if you heal frequently you just spend mana
it’s one of those 1 global every few seconds specs when you’re 40 yrd healing
can be fun when you get trained and get to do stuff though
rsham has a massively versatile kit
rsham healing can sometimes be frustrating but when you play with the right players it’s easily the most fun spec in the game
rdruid has a lot of tools both offensive and defensive but hot healing is only fun if you enjoy how bad for the game and easy it is
Resto Druid
Because winning is fun
Holy pally obviously for big dam judge
Holy priest for fun
Rsham for kit
