Which Healing Class Should You Play In Vanilla World Of Warcraft?

- Druid? Paladin? Priest? Shaman?
If you are just starting out on a Vanilla WoW private server and are thinking of rolling a healing class, this video will help you decide which to pick by giving you a brief overview of each class' play style.
Because of the seemingly simple task of keeping the raid members’ health bars full, some people would suggest that healing is monotonous at best, or even downright boring.
In this video I hope to convince you that this is not true, and give you the information you need to pick the most interesting class for your Vanilla experience.
NOTE: There are some small errors in this video, as the script and development were very long. Check out my correction video! • Corrections To My Heal...
Introduction 00:00 - 9:27
Druid 9:28
Paladin 15:26
Priest 20:18
Shaman 22:55
Vhok lmao my thoughts exactly
@Vhok I remember all those fresh healers in Vanilla ... these 9 minutes could have saved our asses back then xD
Any mage spamming frost bolt trying to tell you healing is boring has a weird idea of fun
yeah any mage spamming Frost Bolt in vanilla is a dead mage.. in Vanilla you had to wand for a small portion of a fight and then you would frost bolt until you crit or needed evocate... If you crit you had to back off for a couple secs so you didnt pull agro then back to it... Agro was really really really bad back then.
@@soketh3132 that's why I loved tanking
SOKETH not really, when we started raiding MC on live, it was the warlocks who had to back off. We had a lock who would giggle in vent right before a giant would run over to him and stomp the life outa him. We would all laugh because we knew he got 3-4 crits in a row.
Never knew mages to pull aggro as alliance. They were meh at best when starting MC. It wasn’t until being MC geared we had to worry about anything.
@@ericblack2252 Yeah you do realise that the Giants actually do a Threat Wipe thing to the tanks, the tank should be on that soon as the mob turns they should be taunting.
SOKETH yeah I get that but this was every mob, boss.. what ever. He joined our guild from the best one on the server and had a full set of t1 while most of us had blues.
You did refresh my memory on that mechanic, it may of been that one or twice but he was on another level then us.
The difference between a T1 lock and a blue lock was crazy. I think he had a few items from bwl too. That guild had BWL clear before any other guild had MC clear.
Boulderfist - Colossus (they were amazing)
Remember, for the true vanilla healer experience, face a wall to keep your frame rate from tanking and distracting you from your raid frames ;).
I liked healing on my Holy Priest in vanilla.
My biggest issue with it was that all DPS classes had so much more fun farming mobs easy with their AQ40 gear, nuking people in PvP.
While as healer you were sitting on 200 spell power since all that +healing didn't aid you in killing mobs for mats.
I wouldn't say healers are underrated or underappreciated at all honestly. I played a healer for many, many years through all levels of content and always felt appreciated. That's a huge part of why I played the role. Good DPS is pretty common, a good healer is rare. People know that.
Exactly! 😁
Ya all I play is healing classes and people always gave me the love. Tanks and healers I feel are the most respected. I can't wait to druid heal once again!!
cc360 remember that one good Paladin tank back in the day? The only one you actually trusted lol. Healing them as a priest was amazing. Could use shield and renew while being effective.
Also he said that the Druids HOT doesn’t stack with priests HOT, he’s wrong right? You can have 1 of hot but not 2 of the same right?
It's a blessing and a curse to be a pretty decent healer. It's super easy to find a guild, but you never ever get to play on your alts as a good healer has a huge impact on the raid. If you normally were to run 10 mediocre healers, you could do the same job with 7 good ones. This of course frees up spots for more DPS for a quicker run.
Same with tanks.
Healing is the role I never got in to, for one reason only.
Sometimes you have to let someone die to save the group or teach them a lesson , I can't stand the guilt/feeling of failure that comes with that.
Same because I enjoy healing for the reasons you stated, plus knowing that I'm filling the shortage.
What I think will be most interesting when Blizzard releases vanilla servers again is actually the fact that there will be so much more external support for the community than there was back then. The internet has come a LONG way since vanilla was around.
Druids have Natures Swiftness. Swiftmend is an instant heal that consumes rejuv.
Just to clarify the errors in the video someone has already pointed out in the comment section.
1. Flash of light was not affected by the casting time penalty all the way to patch 2.3 Sunwell of the BC.
2. Druids and Priest HoTs were able to exist concurrently. The problem was that the same HoTs from different druids could not exist simultaneously where only the strongest healing effects (taking into account healing power) could exist and would replace the weaker. The weaker healing power caster would get "A more powerful spell is active". This is one of the main reasons why resto druids were not popular.
Ps: The second problem was improved in the release of tBC. HoTs from different casters became stackable. The BC release patch also removed the 15-sec ceiling on HoTs and DoTs from spell and healing bonus. Hence, I personally love BC more than vanilla because the BC was the patch that actually lifted the gaming experience, depth of raid fights and PvP, quality of life... to a new and paramount level.
The thing that isn't mentioned here that on retail vanilla FLASH OF LIGHT was the only spell that didn't suffer from spell diminishing effect, so actually you could've used rank 1 flash of light and before patch that removed manacost reducing items (twicked necklace in MC and quest orb that gave -25 mana on any cast) flash of light rank 1 was FREE of any manacost. and i played healing paladin through the whole retail. So you just stack +heal mostly with occasional +mp5 and crit
*Paladin* the safest bet. straightforward and great efficiency
*Shaman* best multi target. less single target efficiency and more to do
*Druid* biggest, slowest heals. more utility and harder to play in raids
*Priest* most spells and best overall given that you can manage
you have some unlikes but i think your video help rookie players so i say THANK YOU ! I love people who spend time to explain each strengths and weaknesses of each and its what i expect from a youtuber !
Correction: Around 5:44 you're mistaking Nature's Swiftness with Swiftmend.
Swiftmend consumes either Rejuv or Regrowth and heals for the equivalent of a full Rejuv.
Nature's swiftness as you mentioned makes the next cast 10s or less instant.
I've watched quite many videos related to classic as I'm waiting for August 27 . This is one of the most helpful for someone who's never played vanilla . Liked and subbed
Every now and then my right ear enjoyed this
This is one of the best overviews I've seen for vanilla content
honestly i've been healing for 10 years, and having played vanilla on private servers I did find healing to be incredibly boring. I had a far more enjoyable time healing scholo/strat than i did anything else. UBRS was filled with overhealing just with 2 healers, and 20/40 man raids were even worse, to the point where all I really needed to do was buff others and throw the occasional heal. In reality what all the healers did was spam heals on targets desperately trying to get their heal in first. It's entirely possible we bring too many healers to our 40 man raids, but I've never healed a 40 man where I felt like there was any skill at all involved in healing anyone. Overhealing meters were far more exciting to look at as opposed to the actual healing meters.
dannygmzz do you think that could have been improved by bringing fewer healers to the raid? I agree that the bill of my healing was racing to bring someone back before other healers, but I had plenty of opportunities in raids to make really strategic healing plays (such as using nature's swiftness and swiftmend to save a tank who was about to die) or planning positioning for difficult healing scenarios.
you need moar Patchwerk
or progression raiding where half the raid has died and you're trying to kill the boss with a hunter and 3 tanks
@Derek Chatham raiding in classic is easy though?
That is the very same impression that I got. Guilds just brought way more healers than necessary and it turned into a whack-a-mole-contest where most of the heals had to be interrupted by the caster or went into overheal. There was one moment in my history of WoW that totally amazed me from a healer POV... It was one of those 25-man PUG-Raids in WotLK. The one you can do when you control this PvP-Zone.
I don’t remember the exact circumstances of how it happened but we did one of the fights there with only 3 healers. And we succeeded. It was such a blast having to actually pull all the strings! All 3 of us were totally amazed by what is possible! We had between 22 and 30k HP/s in that fight... Normally I had like 10k with the usual amount of healers.
Healing is one of those jobs where, if i is boring, then your guild is doing things right; if it is exciting and crazy, some bad stuff is going on.
Indeed. I used to say that a lot during ToS progress on sister's. We were 5 healing it and all of us were doing rank 1 loggs, the raid leader was excited. As a healing officer I wasn't. Because we had to do on average 40% more overall hps than the kills with similar setup and kill time
Healing in my experience is only challenging when youre raiding either with a bunch of complete noobs that eat everymechanic out there or when you progressraid hardcore. Everything in between is fairly lackluster because barely anything you do matters alot.
Amazing break down of the details and calculations that go into vanilla healing. Very helpful, thanks a lot! :)
Buffs only overwrite / prevent the same buff, so a target can have Rejuv and Renew at the same time, but not two Rejuvs.
@John Smith a level 1 would be crushed and 1-shot unless it was some kind of twink.
Healing can be really fun. The challenge comes from learning to anticipate the damage. Especially on classes with really long, powerful heals like Healing Touch and Holy Light. It's amazing if you cast a heal while a player is at full health, and as soon as the fat damage comes, your heal takes the player back to full.
Feels awesome, and players notice that kind of thing.
Thank you for the video. You did a great job providing an unbiased analysis using facts to support your opinion, which I really appreciate. Much more in-depth than most of what is available.
When i think of shamans first thing i think is 1 shotting people with giant windfury crits
that's reckoning paladin my friend :)
UNBREAKABLE
That’s because of one PvP video, windfury was patched during Vanilla to gimp it btw, from an awful keyboard turning clicker
@@fidjibajs1 Unless modern private servers are so off it's hysterical, your comment is just as dumb as his lmao you know nothing about shamans
yeah, 2H casino shamans aren't good by skill, just by luck. I've seen enhancement shamans go full warsong games with only a handful of windfury procs, but I have also seen the lucky one or two that somehow completely dominate the comp through windfury off a windfury proc going 15-0, 20-0 with a pocket healer. meme for sure. (white hit, white hit, white hit, white+windfury+windfury jackpot KO). In a duel the shaman will lose most of them, but when they do win one... it's usually a 1-swing 1--shot jackpot which hardly any other class can comprehend., which is bullshit, but hey... for the memes. when and if they do release pvp content showing dominating gameplay, trust they would have had to shift through dozens and dozens of games worth of content for some decent results... and only for a few clips for the most part.
"the priest heal over time can not be cast until yours (rejuv) runs out"
false
you can have one of any spell type on a target. hot isn't a spell type. renew, rejuv, and regrowth are all spell types; all ranks are of one type. the most recent one will always be up. this was specifically coded out for buffs. so if you cast prayer of fortitude and there was a stronger one already on, you will get a notification of "there is a stronger one already on teh target"but that doesn't occur for any other spell.
this means for hots you can knock off a higher quality spell. also when you cast an over time spell, it refreshes the effect and duration, it does not add to it. thus if a hot is on a target and you cast it again you will knock off the last tick of the spell at least, which can be a 20% drop in healing mana efficiency.
but this also applies to dots. curses and magic debuffs similarly do not stack. you wont have two separate stacks of sunder armor on a target. you wont have two separate shadow word pains either.
there is also effect conflict. sunder armor and expose armor (the rogue version) do the same thing but they do not stack.
heals over time do stack. regrowth + rejuv + renew + pally is a great combination. together they should give about 1k hp3
Great content, man. Keep it up
If you want the most out of your healing, play a Priest-- Deep holy is VERY powerful early on, giving you lots of bonuses to +healing, which makes you a valuable and effective healer even in bad gear, once you get some decent gear you have the option to continue deep holy for maximum healing output, or you can specc into deep discipline and trade some of that +healing from holy for more raidwide utilities and a greater mana pool, at this point you have aquired some decent gear with +healing and can still compete with other healers on the meter while being able to boost the damage/healing of allies/yourself with Power Infusion and a huge mana pool which gives you an advantage on longer encounters. Meanwhile, you can also go for a shadow/holy, shadow/disc specc once you feel comfortable with your class and have aquired enough gear to actually make this specc doable, healing wise-- Your main prio with this specc is healing, but at the same time keeping up the Shadow Weaving Debuff to increase the damage of your Warlocks, making you not only a healer, but the ultimate dps battery of Warlocks.. Trust me, they will love you.
for pure healing paladin has the highest numbers for both raid healing and tank healing. the stats are out there. gameplay wise priest is more fun for sure though.
Saying that faster spells didn't benefit as much from +Healing is a bit off. It's true that they get less +healing, but the HPS is the same. The reason for the penalty is so you don't have a Flash of Light that heals for 1900 on 100-some mana and a Holy Light that heals for 2900 on 600-some mana.
I've been thinking about priest or druid. And this helped me choose. It will probably be druid due to the assumption that they are not really popular. I would not enjoy raiding where there are a lot of people with my class choice. Also simplicity in vanilla is another variable and I like it. I read all comments and payed attention to the video and if druid healing is easy and laid back as it sounds I am up for it. I don't like tension and I want relaxed time in raids. Also I've leveled a druid a little bit and I really liked it.
You did an amazing job. I enjoy people going deep into gaming stuff with most effort and I appreciate that. Thanks. Great work.
You haven't rally understood my comment. I am not looking to top the meters.
I healed as a Druid in vanilla. You are an underdog class when meters are concerned, but you shine during real moments. When I Battle Rez’ed at a critical moment and the raid hardly knew about the spell, it was glorious. When I saved an aggro’ed priest with bear form, it was glorious. When I hold up healing after other healers died, it was glorious. When easy healing moments come up and I can go cat pew pew, it was glorious.
@@denis_ds In a lot of ways Vanilla has a higher simplicity, true. but you will find a lot of stats and mechanics which are like Old RPGs
Which makes a lot of things also more complicated and require more knowledge about your class. And the game over all.
Vanilla is not really intended for casuals.
Gotta love them all, but my favorite will still be paladin. Not just for heals, but also for group buffs and defence in both pve and pvp. Also nothing beats being like a dwarven paladin/cleric hybrid with an awesome beard. RP will be lit xD
Overhealing is only an issue if you run out of mana. If you're good on the mana, it's actually good to overheal a little bit to make up for bad RNG.
Good to see people understanding that priests are not "the healer" and the other three are hybrids.
Played holy priest through vanilla and tbc. Pretty awesome class.
Nice video my dude! Played Resto shammy through all of vanilla, BC and WOTLK before leaving the game but I enjoyed healing as a shaman immensely. Tried some paladin and druid in BC aswell but wasn't quite as fun as shaman. Keeping an eye out for your totems and balancing placement, movement, healing and mana constantly is a ton of fun.
What race/gender did you play? My main was a Draenei shammy male healer, and I'm looking at giving classic a shot, but I've always been Alliance. On the Horde side in your opinion what does the most interesting caster looks like, who wears the armor the best, etc.
@@890moglin stat wise it doesn't really matter. I played a male troll. Probably won't be playing that combo again, mainly because I want to play something different and the armour models are just awful for male trolls. If your going to PvP I would recommend Orc. Otherwise go wild and pick whatever you think looks the best
as a pally healer, I envied all the hots from druids and their mobility. every class has it's specialty
great video man. wish more youtubers put in this much effort!
"Intensive purposes"
Roasted haha! I feel dumb for not knowing this at age 27...
Well, it's not like what he said was incorrect, despite his misspeaking the term.
For all intents and purposes.
Live and learn!
Rejuvenation is just as important as Healing Touch if not more important. Rejuvenation will always do greater HPS than Healing Touch on any fight where there is a high amount of raid damage, especially when wearing full t2 for the 8 piece set benefit.
Nice video, this is full of good info. I'll pass this on to my buddy who loves this stuff thanks
Thanks, great overview of the healing meta game - wasn't aware of the differences on that close of a level
Great video. Very informative. Vanilla wow is about to come back in a huge way and this video is a fantastic resource for returning and newcoming players. Can't wait to make my Shaman on official Blizzard classic servers!
Perfect guide for an inexperienced healer like myself. I'm levelling a priest right now on Northdale and must admit I'm not nearly enjoying it as much as I thought. I put it down to going oom very frequently, even though I try and take advantage of FSR and anticipate incoming damage, as such I have let the tank die once or twice. I hope it gets better when more +healing items become available and I can play with different ranks, priest just feels like there is a high skill cap, I feel like I'd enjoy and learn more with Druids once classic comes out
22:21 slight correction, it's 25% of total spirit added to spell power (spiritual guidance). Spiritual healing is the next tier down and it's a generic +10% to all healing output. (Based on no other stats)
Great vid, thanks for covering the data points!
Loved the line at the end: "It's viewers like you who keep the legacy dream alive."
And now it's no longer a dream!
Great video btw. I played a resto druid myself in Vanilla and loved it. Thinking of switching to priest in Classic tho.
There is NO penalty built into the healing coefficient.
1.5/3.5 is 0.43, no penalty, just math.
It does NOT exist to penalise you for using short cast spells.
NOR is it there to encourage "harder to use" long casts.
The sole purpose of the spell power coefficient is to balance +damage /+healing to make it equal PER SECOND.
Think about it, if your 1.5 second heal or damage spell received the same amount as +damage as a spell taking 3.5seconds to cast, then no one with high levels of +heal/+damage would use the longer spell. It just wouldn't be optimal. The shorter the spell would always give the higher hps/dps.
Coefficient makes the bonus equal and allows you not to be locked into using the fastest spell for the most bonus stats per second.
This video changed my mind about rolling a resto druid in vanilla wow.Now i wanna go with a holy priest because is much more complex and brings a lot of more heals to the table.Btw night elf priests are sexy af :)
Druids are support class. They just keep up fearie fire and hots on tanks. When they get late game tier, they can rank 1 rejuv players to regen their mana
Is funny how the healer classes spell DPS
One of the most important class is the healer lol, but it's true that so little care for them. A right healer can do very much.
Healing coefficient isn't lower because spells are "easier" or "harder" to use, its a variable based on spell cast length to limit the healing power's ability to increase healing per second. With a 3.5 second cast you get a x1 multiplier. With a 2 second cast you get the .57 multiplier. 2/3.5 = .57. Players use the slower spells for mana efficiency and the fact that in a raid environment you can pre-cast and cancel.
Haha, mustacio... i never would have thought to see my old ret pally in the raid again :p. way to bring back some good memories -Rhomar
Did raids in mist as a healer, That shit ain't no joke. Dps is way easier than keeping a raid group from not dying with 4 or 5 healers when some people are potatoes.
Priest if you want to actually be considered a healer and not a buff/rez bot.
Resto shaman is chain healing spam lol:) 👍🏽
I missed the buffs :)
until your mana is low... that happens pretty fast
Cool vid. It would be nice to have a second part with a PvP analysis.
Well put together! Thanks and make more! Definitely subbed.
You say Paladins are plate healers, and while that is technically true it was very common to see Holy Paladins wearing cloth gear due to the poor itemization of plate healing gear. They will also be spending a significant amount of time blessing the raid members since blessings are single-target only and last 5 minutes.
John Kendall As a paladin you get access to a raid class wide buffs with greater blessings, I have no idea why people say buffing as a paladin is aids because it can take seconds if you know who needs which buff
Scott those class wide greater blessings did not exist until over halfway through Vanilla's lifespan(I believe it was the AQ patch that the change was implemented). Prior to AQ Pally blessings were single target 5 minute buffs.
Sounds like he's a private server player only, Kreege. There's a _ton_ of them that think they know what vanilla was like but have no clue as to how vanilla actually progressed.
As a Paladin in one of the guilds first breaking into MC, I could easily spend over 1/2 my time buffing. It was _minimum_ 20%, because at a 1.5sec gcd it took 60 seconds to buff 40 players with a 5 minute buff. Start adding in deaths, out of range issues, disconnects, Garr buff purging, other idiot paladins overwriting, etc and it got fucking annoying _fast._
I use to wear cloth armor too , brings back memories :)
Besides some errors like calling Natures Swiftness; Swiftmend, I can agree on most points you made.
New subscriber!! hope you continue so I see your content grow
i've been wanting to make a shaman for classic to heal but is it going to be lame if theres like 7 other shamans besides me in my raid?
i get that theres going to be lots of mages / warriors / rogues as dps in raids but for healing it kinda seems a little different to me and less exciting in a way
damn I was thinking my left earbud is dying
becoming a shaman in TBC was the best decision i made. I know it wont happen, but if pallys and shamans are open to both races, im making a shaman again, otherwise a priest for the time being.
If I want to do more in raids than standing there clicking heal, which to choose? Thinking about Elemental shaman, I used to be in a guild that did not make every healing class just a healbot. I actually did dmg AND healed when needed.
From what I understand it's Priest over all, but they can be very boring. Then paladin and shaman are both useful in their own ways, then druid is last.
I agree that in end-game priests are the strongest overall healers.
However, if you consider the entire life of the character from pre-raid through naxx, I think Paladin has the most juice throughout all the gear levels.
Shaman is also very good throughout all gear levels, but its roughly on par with priest, so I think its just dependent on what you raid needs.
Yes you are correct, if downranked and geared correctly priests can out heal paladins in vanilla, however paladins and preists are the top healers and I would always fight for number 1 with a really awesome paladin every raid. Downranked druid is next but pretty far behind typically unless outgearing other healers followed by Shaman far far behind. The priests in this video suck so don't go buy this raid's meter.
What add-ons do you use?
Well done. I raided with a good Druid named, Taurine in Vanilla. Good Times. Looking forward to Legacy.
This is a very well done and concise video. You sir need more subs. I will send them your way if I can.
Real talk: You should play a Paladin or a Dwarf Priest
Comparing Flash of Light to Flash Heal is a bit like comparing a Prius to a Corvette. Yeah, they're both small, but one is designed to be efficient and the other to be more powerful.
for pvp u want to play a preist and just mana burn and dispel and pwshield everything. Actually pwshielding and dispelling is optional.
He said Swiftmend when what he meant to say was Nature's Swiftness. Made me concerned at first, but overall a pretty informative video.
You did not mention that paladin gets all the mana back every time any healing crits because they have a talent called illumination, for my understanding paladins get by far the most spell crit from all classes from intellect, so that makes them even more mana efficient. The 2 hour Onyxia buff is very potent for a paladin healer because it gives 10% more spell crit, that just means 10% more free heals. Also you are guaranteed to crit a heal on demand using divine favor and may cast a instant heal while moving with holy shock that you can also combine with divine favor to always get a critical heal.
You were talking about priest bubbles, but Paladins can also cast blessing of protection to save spell casters from dying in tight spots making them immune to any physical damage for 12 seconds. The fact they can wear plate armor is not the main reason they were/are good at healing main tanks, usually holy paladins didn't even have plate armor to wear as a healer in vanilla, most pre-raid bis gear was leather and cloth. They had talents not to lose casting time when taking damage, they could give different auras to nearby players, like more armor or fire resistance to the tanks, and have skills like divine shield/blessing of protection, lay on hands to survive long periods of time when there is trouble. Getting all the different blessings was the final reason it was wise to include 4-6 paladins in any 40-man raid.
people way overestimate stacking crit on an hpala. its only really semi useful for very long fights like twin emps. for the most part flash of light is so efficent you can just stack +healing gear. for example wild growth shoulders are on par with palas tier 3. sounds crazy but if you have brilliant mana oil/mana pots you wont go oom even without crit stacking. just your natural crits will come in and you'll just heal more because of +healing gear.
Is there any way to see the green healing combat text when you heal someone else in vanilla?
11:32
This is completely incorrect. You can have Rejuvenation and Renew up at the same time on a single target. You just cannot have two of the same HoTs up on a single target.
No one ever told me about using lower rank spells when I played back in 2005/2006
I looooove healing. Only thing i loved doing. I found dps boring.
Healing is something that players won't understand until they do it! Healing is every bit as fun as other raid roles!
Tanking is my thing. Can't stand leveling and relying on other tanks
True story. Always played a dwarvish holy pal healer and this was awesome time. Even if tank wasn't very skilled I've been able to save the day using flash light + bubble on raid healers.
Only played healer in cata as a resto Druid was a lot of fun. Normal my main was a warlock
Very informative, thanks!
Did you make it past BWL? Just curious because it seems like you don't really know how to play a resto druid.
Hey, was wondering if you could include a list of the addons that you used within the video. Would be great to have an efficient healing UI as you have! Thanks.
swiftmend consumes a HoT (hopefully at the end of its duration for maximum eff.), I think you mean Natures swiftness. wich makes your next spell instant.
It was bothering me nobody else mentioned that, I almost clicked off of the video, but he has some good information so I stuck in with it
Yes, i agree. The video as a whole is very relevant.
When playing Vanilla WOW again, we must bring back the term "Healzor" for all healers.
i miss regrowth in your druid analysis. just checked the vanilla spellbook and it's in there i was in vanilla 1 of the best druids of my server and i dont recall using a lot of HT except when i needed to get mana back (good spirit + innervate)
Regrowth is not a really good spell speaking of mana efficiency.
@@Strikerzification i used to top the meters with it though i had very spirit heavy gear i must admit
@@mikevlegels1220 Don't get me wrong, regrowth is a great spell, short cast time, extremely powerful. :) With the +50% crit talent in resto tree, it can be interesting to use it at lower ranks. Only issue is that it's quite mana inefficient, moreover the following hot might go into overheal since your target will probably be topped off by other healers.
Do you have something similar for HoTs? There is no casting time for Rejuvenation and Regrowth applies an additional HoT. How do you account for casting time and penalty? At the moment I simply assume it's 1.5 sec cast time.
healing output of a shamen is better than all others
btw the shaman u used for those "asking sequences" has the best face/hair combo :D I used nearly the same on all my orcs haha
Thank you Mustacio, very cool!
Cool vid! Thank you!
Could you make a runthrough the addons you used in footages. Clique was an unknown addon for me tbh, since I haven't healed in years.
Dang you burn thru all your mana in 30 secs then innervated yourself. Wow.
10 whole spells and oom
Why I get tears in my eyes?Why I want to go in Dungeons / Raids, to tank and heal again?I don`t know but I want it now!
this may be a silly question, but i cannot seem to find the setting. How are you getting blizz style combat text for heals?
I just wanna roll an alliance healer in order not to repeat my first wow experience as a horde. I'm thinking going Main Pally and a Druid Alt.
I'm all for team playing :)
This is excellent content
Thank you
We all know, dwarf priest is the best healer, but i will always prefer and love druids. It's a more featured class with more possibilities, what is even good for pvp.
How did you make the green numbers appear on top of your friends for the amount healed ? On my client they don't show so I have to take an addon like MSBT for them to show...
Great vid. Great for people that have little or no knowledge of vanilla healing. I chuckled at the start when you called vanilla healing boring. Every class in vanilla is objectively boring while raiding.
Help me pick 2 classes to play.
I used to play vanilla and mostly warrior and shaman. a little bit warlock, rogue.
I felt quite useless in raids as non-tank warrior, and it was quite boring tbh. Shaman a bit more fun, I did damage and healed as elemental but was forced to be healbot even though I felt like I wanted to be more useful. Warlock seems ok but is mage more useful? and rogue is ok to play, I would like to try out full sublety-build.
I want a character to raid/dungeon with premade teams with. One that is useful to the team without being forced to spec a specific way, if healer someone with a bit more tools. Will probably pvp atleast a little when max level.
I want a character to raid/dungeon/grind solo play with, so should be able to solo pvp, preferebly a ranged character, would prefer a class that would survive being jumped on in world pvp, and the class should not be unwanted if I look for a group.
The 80's Wolf thats a lot of demands lol. maybe warlock or hunter?
I love healing, I find dps boring since all you end up doing is your rotations. As a healer or tank you have to think on your toes and adapt more often than dps classes do.
out of curiosity, why would you not want to keep max hots on your tank? it also is safer in terms of threat.
there is also a meme of "wait until third sunder" but your tank will be dead by then if you don't heal them. especially by hots as they effectively act like bonus armor or virtual health pool.
morthim you can keep hots on the tank, but two things become an issue. Even with a max rank renew and a max rank rejuvenation on the tank, he will still be healed for less than 1k per tick.
It is fine to use them, but tanks rely on avoidance (block, dodge, parry) as well as mitigation (raw armor) to avoid damage. Because of this your HoT might tick several times without doing any healing, or your tank might take two crushing blows in quick succession, something than rejuvenation cannot compensate for.
In those cases, it is fine to have/keep a rejuvenation on your tank, but keeping heals cooking up on him is far more important for keeping him alive.
the "wait for 3 sunders" rule only really applied to dps from going ham and killing themselves
Ultimate Ham Sandwich It was the 5 sunders rule ;)
Choosing a tanking class in vanilla was easy, since only Warriors were viable in raids. But Healer choice was pretty hard as all healer classes had some good buffs and support abilities. In the end I went with Priest because of the hope to get the Priest staff from MC xD
What addon is he using to show target health and mana numbers? And what addon is it he's using to show healing combat text on friendlys?
How did you get your healing numbers to show?
