Resto shaman is still great with arms warrior.....but as i said....any class can be on top of healing done, you just need to "understand" it....i`m not trying to convince you to play some class, just saying play what ever you like

Resto shaman for pve is one the most powerful healers not the worst ever, dude
If u haven't seen a "real" resto shammy in the raids that's your problem but I play one and I'm pretty much always in top 2 by healing done.

Guys, Restoration Shamans do NOT suck. Due to their Mastery stat (I believe it was Deep Healing? Correct me if I'm wrong) they can heal really big numbers based on their target's HP. Not only that- they have good mana regen.

i have done 60k GHW + 20K awakening in arenas (80k heals in 1.5 secs) but all their healing is a hard cast so anyone that pays attention can interrupt/lock them

then you have no idea how to play a shaman and/or you never played one.

Holy paladins are not bad at this patch on PvE, they are just a bit diferent to play than other healers or than on WotLK, you barely use WoG on PvE, you should always use your holy power for LoD and use it wisely, with around 355 ilvl i can easily match any other healers depending on the fights and no, they are not bad. people think paladins are bad because most of them dont know how to play, and some bugs make people think they dont do much healing, like the beacon of light healing is given to the tank or whoever has the beacon, and not to the paladin, also recount doesnt show the absorb from the mastery shields, those 2 bugs decrease or healing shown on recount by around 30% or more.

i personally love this patch for healers, on 4.3 its all faceroll again like in wotlk, spam spells all the time and never go oom, here you really need to watch your mana and avoid overhealing, also all the healers are competitive on this patch, even holadins, on 4.3 its all about holy palas and maybe resto shamans too, they nerfed resto druids and priests a lot on 4.3

thanks god we are not updating to 4.3 any time soon and i write this as a holy paladin.

[usman96]

Thanks. But my problem is probably that I don't know how to play as the Healer in Cataclysm...although I can play Shockadins just fine and better than the average player. Much has changed from the WotLK era. (sigh)

the absorbs from mastery for hpally is just ridicolus and if you are stacking mastery means only that you, or anyone, are a bad hpally. On beacon yes, it's often missed when checking recount, and it's a good boost to our healing. But if you match "any other healer" on 355 ilvl then the "other healers" are SO fukin bad, since on this patch rshamans and rdruids are supposed to overheal us even with one hand.

yes mastery is the last stat you want to get as hpally. but even with like 200 mastery rating the absorb can do around 8-10% of your healing+absorbs done. and no, resto druids and rshamans arent supposed to overheal us too much, depends on boss fights, for example on valiona and theralion my healing done is really low, because range and healers are always spread and holy radiance isnt too efective, but other fights like magmaw or ODS where i can stay stacked to 1 group the diference is a lot.

those "any other healer" arent bad, just that i know how to play unlike most of hpallys, if you want to compare the healing done by a paladin with the other healers, get Skada since it shows the absorbs, and addition the healing done by your tank(s) with Beacon of light to the paladin (easy to calc if theres only 1 hpaladin, if you are always far behind from other healers you are doing something wrong, learn to play or just wait for 4.3 which is "noob alike" and you just spam holy radiance.

im pulling 13/15k on shammy (leave chimaeron, noob fight in which i pulled 22k one time), average. Hardly passing 11k on hpally. If u hit 15k as pally clap clap. Show some proofs maybe.

[Nevinafreaklol]

Did someone say holy paladin is bad? Epic facepalm.
First holy paladins are not bad, they are awesome if used properly, i can outheal any burst with guardian, even if my guardian is on cooldown, i will just pop wings + divine favor + trink and get insane healing, with proper spec Hoj is only 40 second CD stun, that means its awesome, you can also go for some kind of shockadin spec, when having wings+divine favor + vici use trink every exorcism will make at least 10k at full vici player, shock will crit up to 15k, holy wrath up to 15k, so you can also make OP healing and damage as holy paladin, if u know how to use hand of sacrifice you will never get CC'd.
Also if you know how to fakecast, you can survive any melee class 1v1, if someone thinks im wrong feel free to test me.
Sorry for bad english.
Cheers

They're talking about PvE, and holy paladins are at their worst on this patch and no they're not getting any buffs on 4.1, they're getting extremely buffed on 4.2 though they're getting a bit nerfed on 4.3, so even 1 handed or any other class healers can overheal my op paladin, pulling 15 k+ hps before the nerfs even more on intense bosses like V&T, ODS.

About PvP, again paladins are in a bad state , but thats only because this is a private server, guardian is half working and taunts arent working at all.
W/o taunts its almost impossible to heal against 2 dps'es(mage and priest). Sadly its noticable that there are only a few paladins over 2.2-2.3 k ratings while there are shitload of disc priests over that limit.

[Nevinafreaklol]

I didnt know they are talking about Pve, still you can outheal 2 dps, i am 2500 as hpaly warr(most nerfed combo on cata), so it would be double easier with DK.

[Powerman]

Do you really wish to know the best healing class for PVE?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet...


PRIEST => DISCIPLINE.

Having a skilled Disc in a group makes heroics easier (with or without the 30% buff).

Discs make the lives of tanks and other healers less stressful.
The more your shields absorb, the less mana gets wasted, and the less intense fights have any right to be.


Go try it.

And laugh at 95% of players who think:
"DISC = PVP ONLY"


- 3.5 million absorbs on ODS
- 3.1 million absorbs on TAC
- 13-16k healing per second + 7-8k absorbs per second = around 23-24k overall healing
