Where are all the healers!

Be the healer you want to see in the world.

As someone that normally mains healer, its funny watching people complain about no healers, when they also chose to not play healer.

Now here is a great summary and just what I needed to know. Looks like I’ll be rolling either a priest or shammy.

No Duel spec
 So everyone is going to choose DPS spec to farm why heal?

like i’d ever trust a hunter to do anything but send their pet or mash raptor strike

The reason it worked before is because the raids are huge with 40 people and you only needed around 4 dedicated healers to keep it alive, so 1 in 10 people. These 10 mans on the other hand require more than double the healers to work. It’s just a bad formula.

I’m stubbornly resto specc cause I need all the healing I can get in gnomer. 4/5 of my runes are boomy runes tho haha. They only have a single non-crap resto rune

The best, most fun and engaging healing class in the game (Priest) got their DPS spec gigabuffed and you can now do insane damage, plus heal almost as well as a real healing spec at the same time. Why wouldn’t you do that instead?

The above, compounded with all the other healing specs in the game being HORRIBLY BORING or even BROKENLY BAD, is causing the drought. Druids push 1 single button to heal (wild growth), because every other healing rune is horrible. They use almost all balance runes instead, lol. Shaman healing is basically the exact same if they never even touched a healing rune, so it’s incredibly boring. Mage healing is just terrible and they barely even count as an off healer right now, especially when shadow priests exist. Paladins are ok, I guess, with the new shock stuff, but they are horrible in PvP.

theyre not any different than dps logs to be fair lol

get over it, check logs (the facts) and lmk when you see a sp anywhere near hunt,mage,lock,warrior !! i swear on everything forum ppl dont even play the game they just spew nonsense. also mage healers are amazing. ive only seen 1 play it properly and he did just as good as a priest would.

Simple - Why be the best healer in the game, if you could be the best DPS in the game instead?

It’s bad on Lone Wolf. I had people offering me 20-30g just to heal their gnomeregan runs. It doesn’t help that the last fight in the raid is not fun at all for healers to go through. (My opinion of course.)

Resto druids are still fun. We can heal and DPS.

Definitely can see how both it can be an appealing playstyle for some but also can see why a resto might want a better option for a more traditional resto style too

Really
 lets say my group follows mechanics to a tee. So i have to heal less, joe smo over here is with dps that love standing in fire. So in return he has to heal more, there for he parses higher
 like i said a joke

i dont play paladin but spamming flash of light in a dress doesn’t sound all that appealing, does it?
Especially now that they don’t have to do that and have other options (or apparently not since they’re still trash tier lmao)
I wonder if the people complaining about lack of healers play a healer themselves? Probably not, they’d rather contribute to the shortage than help rectify it

I got bored on my healer because the lack of new/fun things to do, it was mostly the same experience as before.

The runes for healers just aren’t exciting.

Add insult to injury, solo content/questing as a healer sucks and takes forever as well.

kill times matter too. ive had more healing with a lower parse b4

On CS all I see is LFM gmoner need range dps, 1 feral and 2 heals. The weird part about it is they need a feral but the groups fill with all range and maybe 1 melee hunter

There would be more if there was dual spec. I would love to be resto / balance on my druid, but I’m balance because I want to quest, gold farm, and pvp. Literally no reason for me to go resto and just afk in Org for the rest of my life

healers are oneshoting ppl as shadow priests
