Priest is the strongest, most polyvalent, funniest, most challenging healing class in vanilla. And the only class worth playing overall in vanilla PVE. Also we can smite.
Druid is a PvP class and is only brought in raid to buff, innervate a priest, and not DE the loots.
Paladins are RDX spammer, which is ncie if you want to watch the champion's league while raiding.
Sham=CH bot. Totems are nice to have tho.

Paladins have stout hearts that are full of courage. Their moral compass is unsurpassed and will guide your raid upon the true path to salvation.

Shaman are into polygamous group healing.

One in twenty priests are child molesters.

Druids are into bestiality.

I think the choice is obvious.

Love this quote.

I feel Paladins are build around having nice Crits, while Priest hardly have any crits because their heals are often higher as is, but do you feel priests are more effective fore raid healing over Paladins?

how about Paladins for single target healing, such and main tank healing over priests?

Thoughts?

Paladins are great single target healers. They still are below Priests even at single target healing at the end of the day. They have better buffs and superior longevity.

Priests love Paladins on cleanse heavy fights. They can continue to heal while Paladins focus more on cleanse duties since Paladin heals are much more mana efficient with Illumination.

They compliment each other greatly and play to each others short comings.

Paladins are a great single target healers and thats that and a great overall suport for the raid
and who doesnt want to watch a great movie while spaming fol or HL
and the fact you can burst heal every 30 sec with fol + Hs is always nice

No. You are wrong.


He is actually correct. That is how all % damage/healing talents work on this server since a few months ago. There were some old sources that claim % increase talents do not affect spell damage/healing bonuses from Elitist Jerks and Allakhazam. They are pay-walled on EJ forums now and I don't have the time to find the Allakhazam threads that focus on this topic.

However, there are also sources from 2006 that claim the contrary (a.k.a. talent bonuses affect spell power) so I do not know what to believe but I can tell you on this server that these talents do not affect spell power from gear.

Holy Paladin = Weak on Raid Heal , Strongest on Tank Heal
Holy Priest = Weak on Tank Heal , Strongest on Raid Heal
Discipline Priest = Strongest on Tank Heal , Weak on Raid Heal
Restoration Druid = Weak on Tank Heal , Strongest on Raid Heal
Restoration Shaman = Medium on Tank Heal , Strongest on Melee Group Heal , Weak on Raid Heal



sorry resto druid is the strongest single target healer in game... 2 hots and a large heal spam... nothing can keep up with that.
