EU+US Resto Sham vs Holy Paladin?

[FourCornersStance]

I have both, but my Holy is much better geared (full invasion gear, 70% of it is WF I believe) but I swear my Resto can still outheal him, even without undulation.

I think my survival is a bit higher on my paladin.


What do y'all think? Any opinions on what makes either better?

Stun/Bubble on Pally are awesome for survival vs, you guessed it, Survival. Sham has a lot more mobility and better multi target healing i believe. Makes for a decent FC too, not sure how pallies are faring in that regard at the moment, don't see them in games that much. Paladins wear plate, so they'll be naturally a bit tankier in general. I haven't played pally myself, but shaman feels very strong at the moment, almost at the level of disc, escpecially if you actually have any half-decent dps/peelers on your team. I'd say it's mostly a matter of class preference/playstyle. Keep in mind this is all BG perspective, i don't do any arenas at the moment.

As far as topping charts go, Rshams are the only class that can compete with Priests. I don't play Hpal often due to the fact that I feel much weaker than Disc. The stun isn't worth the loss in HPS.

Holy would be a viable counter for survs cuz bubble, hoj. But beacon of light is also useful for healing another target while you are being focused. Since you'd likely be spamming FoL on yourself, 40% of that goes to your beacon, which is a lot .

It's a toss up. Holydin may be a good compliment to another healer, perhaps.

I feel like they are about the same. I'll play a few games today and get back to you
