I was planning on rerolling or making an alt for ally other then rogue, is pally good for healing and dps?
Cant speak for pve, but in pvp Ret isnt so fun imo. Its cool that you can blow people up with like 40k TVs but you get kited like crazy when your wings are up
Ret dps is decent they arent the best but they bring support spells that can make some mechanics in M+ trivial.
As a class, pally is fun if you like to help people. Tank dropped too low - LoH them, somebody is focused - BoP them, somebody is rooted HoF them, somebody has a debuff - Cleanse them. Moreso if you’re a healer obviously. As a dps you also have two small buffs (absorb and mana regen) that you can put on various party members and it gives a small satisfaction to give those effectively.
As a dps pally can be quite fun with certain traits and talent builds, maybe less so if you mained more dynamic melee class like a Warrior or DH before. It can be frustrating to play against fast moving targets. But it’s quite versatile in casual play still I find.
Healing is very different nowadays from what it was before. It’s more melee healing now. You have to manage distance to the heal target to maximize mastery, and the most powerful CD talent requires you going melee. It’s a bit of an acquired taste.
