I'm a Druid and was wondering about a Priest.

Post by Culmination

Alright,
I'm a Druid, resto and resto only, and I rolled this toon just for the healing. But once i get into the more progressed content it seems like all my healing is being "sniped" by priests and pallies. So I've been thinking about rerolling to a priest because there is no way I am going to be a faceroll heals. Is the effect of priests being better healers just me, or is it actuality?

P.S. I honestly dont mind rerolling, plus ive always kinda thought priests looked cool the way they did stuff anyways.

Honoestly? im almost always pipped by a druid on the meters. But they are two different types of healing. If you want the pressure of healing up targets that just hit 10% HP, then yes a priest is great. We have a lot of spells for different situations and would be a good change from druid healing, but a druids style of healing is nothing to laugh at. Both are great and are needed, its just a change of roles.

That said, i think in tier 10 gear, a druid will really, really pull ahead of a priest (unofrtuantly :\ )

Thanks for the response. I guess once i get better gear it will reflect more of what you are telling me, but then again it never hurts to have a HoT heal toon and a Cast heal toon.

When I heal with druids in the raid, their HoTs usually get the targets back to 100% before my Flash Heal is done/Penance arrives and I end up overhealing. I guess you're just unlucky.
