So as some people (probably very few) know I only play on weekends (due to school/work) So i'm pretty excited for the march break and told my boss that i wont come in for the week...

This gives me 11 days to make a toon
So i'm thinking of a preist or r-druid because i want to fc im leading towards r-druid but i know their kind of underpowered and take someone very skilled to use so im leaning towards priest as a healer/fc/dps
I thought this was a good idea due to 1. i heard AB weekend is soon? so rdruid capping flags could be fun or preist just sitting there healing everyone also due to having 2 sundays i'm confident of LFH and a whole 11 days for 2agms... Piece of cake...

So i'm asking if someone can show me a BiS chardev/armory of these classes/specs :D Also they'll def be horde


But also if my account is viable for a Scroll of ressurection thats how im spending my march break... lvling a char from 80-85 and gearing...
 
resto are the most underpowered healer in this bracket but good for fc :) you will still pwn if you are good

Only difference between Resto Druid Healers vs Other healers:

Other healers won't win if 4 melee classes(4vs1) are on them, but a resto druid will win.

I beg to differ? If your a healer and you know how to fake cast, then it's safe to say you can survive four melee on you, at least enough until help arrives

uhhhhh what are you talking about lol 4 noob melee dps? i mean im guessing you are talking about thorns but not too many good melees attack a druid with thorns up... i see a druid with thorns up as a rogue i /dance(against resto) or shadowmeld stealth and reopen until the thorns go away then finish.. not too hard
thorns barely make a difference in healing anyways i said the worst healer in this bracket no need to argue

Seeing how I have done this multiple times, I do not understand where you are coming from.

With good kiting, keeping DoTs up, Keeping HoTs up, correctly using your CDs, Fake Casting when needed, it's very do-able.


And there is plenty of room to argue about weather or not Resto Druids are Viable healers. Clearly you don't have enough experience to actually play them correctly or else you would know that your "opinions" about Resto Druids being the Worst healers in this bracket are completely subjective.

First off, this thread has taken a very radical turn. To answer Frog - R-druids have a high skillcap and are in turn extremely fun. I'd suggest rolling one if you feel like playing a class with varied functionality and abilities. (and animal dances!!!)

To Cer - I totally agree, I think resto druids are under-appreciated in the bracket and are capable of a hell of a lot. That being said, there is certainly an impression that they are the weakest healers as they are undoubtedly the least capable single-target healers of all classes. The thing I love about my resto druid is that fact that I can both deal damage and keep my teammates relatively capped for health AND run the flag. But simply, if you're having a heal off against multiple DPS on a single target you will more than likely lose. As it is, druids can keep up a group of friendlies extremely well if the enemy dps is not focused - but they just simply do not have the healing power to keep up a single target without help.

I totally buy your 1v4 btw. Seriously, skillcap classes are the most fun. However, the melee you fought must have been less than average haha :p

Really, four? They must be really bad then, because usually when I have four melee on me, I manage to fake one interruption but at least one of the other three get me. Of course, I play a Priest and don't have any instant cast, immediate healing as Discipline.

Dont need to fakecast if you can travel form, get 40 yrds away from them, and heal.
 
like rsq said resto druids cant be a decent single healer for lets say arena. i played resto before and seen a bis resto and dueled alot to figure out if resto is worth it
resto is fun and awesome i never said it sucked. all i said was that arent the ideal healers in this bracket. you clearly never faced good players if you really can argue that you can beat 4 GOOD melees. you can beat 4 BAD melees i know because i killed 3 rogues at once as feral (you can see a proof of that if you go to my youtube videos) .. because they were really bad.
keep DoTs up.. ok whats that gonna do slowly kill them? kiting? like thats faster than rogue's sprint.. never thought that rogues can get out of your los and restealth even with dots? NE rogues can shadowmeld and ambush with dots on them... NE warriors can charge interrupt you while in combat with shadowmeld.... and all the other interrupts melee classes can have... hammer, wind, kick, gouge, .... you name it and more factors
resto doesnt have enough burst to get any classes down
i can honestly say that i can beat restos as feral. it will take awhile but i can. you cant argue about this because i know what to do against healers
i can beat hpal and sometimes preist but not likely since im not a tauren with their stomps... and resto druids

I can't recall ever having four melee on me at one time (3 yes) but if that's the case i would probally just use hand of protection and run to my teammates if time permitted. I'm Guessing a priest would just fear and bubble and wait it out until help arrives or going offensive with the time you had from the fear. I think if anyone in this bracket wants to be a successful healer than they should know how to fake cast at least

Playing Ele Sham, Warrior, Rdruid we destroyed a Protpal, Retpal, Priest team and some other comps. So no, with 3 "underpowered" classes, we have beaten one of the most OP classes. Its all dependant on skill.
