To all Shadow Priest and Ret Pally Solo-queuers

Haha, your suspicion is not unreasonable given my latest threads, but I do not play a warrior, and this is my main.

Shadowpriests melt face in pvp. You are a noob. Nothing more to see here.

A single holy paladin in a WSG isn’t going to make a difference if the other team has any mages or a single warlock.

At least a ret paladin has reptenance to maybe get off a heal in a bad spot.

This is delusional btw. Spriests are great in 1 v 1, but not that good in group fights due to very limited mana. A warlock is much better due to spamable fear and curse of tongues.

An alternative suggestion to the OP:

You don’t need to respec, just try actually using your support spells when your team needs the support. Just because you are shadow priest or a ret paladin does not mean you cannot cast heals, dispels, and blessing of freedoms.

It doesn’t matter what your spec is, if you have a spell which using would cause your team to win a fight, you should obviously stop swinging your hammer for a moment and use it.

Now that I have my R10 gear I am a lot better at keeping my mana up. All that mp5 helps a lot…

Also, consider this. As an spriest, I am often standing in the back next to the healers during a teamfight. I am usually the one that peels for our healers when we get zergged. When the warriors are going in balls deep, I am actually the one that’s saving our healers. I’m standing next to that disc/holy priest ready to fear bomb the rogue when he pops out. Another very effective tool in the spriest kit is Silence. I can shut down enemy healers and casters very effectively which also very often wins team fights.

Aside from a few whiny warriors complaining that I am not in heal spec, many of the healers I’ve BG’d with actually thank me for being shadow and helping them while the warriors tunnel vision and try to max their KB’s…

I’ve been on both sides of the fence as I ranked and by far I think spriest offers more utility than disc/holy and is more satisfying to play.

Exactly this.

Plus, nothing is more satisfying than shifting out of shadow to toss a few heals, getting focused by rogues and warriors, shifting back into shadow, and proceeding to rip their face off when they were expecting a free kill.

OR.

Some of those maydie and ming wannabees can reroll a healer. Most of the pug ab games I get into have 8-12 warriors. Not to mention, most pug players aren’t worth healing.

I’m good, I’ll stick to having max flag returns in a game while freedoming my team and training efcs

not gonna say “respect”, but if you are a class that can heal, put on that healing gear, plz. it helps.

Especially if you’re PUG DOES NOT have any healers.

Then feel free to shut up and heal. In a pug BG you shouldn’t be counting on anyone else anyway.

No thanks. I would rather just kill floppy-eared rogues like you and drink your tears.

you’re tears are better honesty, I can imagine how you get stomped in a premade and cry about it when you yourself are in one.

Rogues shouldn’t need any heals if you’re playing your class correctly.

Git gud.

All the “good rogues” are usually sapping and bandaging, can’t do that in a BG. Might want to rethink your comment there bud.

Sure you can… You can sneak behind enemy lines and cap a flag. You can defend a node and stop flag cappers. You can stealth into the back lines and take out their healers. If you get into trouble you can gouge/blind/vanish…

You have so many tricks available to you, you shouldn’t need any healing for the most part. You’re not a warrior that has basically no escape tricks… So, my comment still stands, learn to play your class better and don’t expect heals in pugs.

If you’re playing on my team and you’re in the right place, you’ll still get bubbles and dispells, just don’t expect much in the way of heals. Gouge/blind/vanish/sprint away and bandage.

Because druids offer something else that is less reliant on being resto to fulfill their role, and that role has nothing to do with being relied upon to heal anyone.

This role is possibly one that is often the most coveted.

I think you know what I’m talking about. This isn’t rocket science.

Op is a troll and is fishing for arguments

I’m a healing spec but still wield a 2h. Still get /spit on by warriors before the gates even open from time to time.
I replace their kings blessing with a 5 minute wisdom since it is clear they are lacking in that department

I was just in a premade WSG today. Guess who had the most kills and fewest deaths. Guess who was destroying the other team’s casters. We won quite handily.

Guess who laughs at rogues and warriors should they be bold enough to come at me.

Go stealth and hide in a corner.
