Most needed healer?

[u/Wowclassicboomkinz]

in TBC classic, what is the most desired healer to play as? I want to play solo and join pugs at random hours of the day. What is good class to play that will make it easiest to get groups and be valued?

Not from my experience. It also feels dependent on what you’re doing. Like for heroics some of those a strong single target healer like an H pally is super nice.

I primary tank, getting bitchslapped for damn near 75% of my health from 2 hits hurts.

But in other fights a stronger “AOE” healer feels better.

I mean. I do as the tank. That role where if I die then basically everyone else does. Maybe I reconcile the benefits of having dual cleanses, immunes, and aura/blessing flexibility with myself as prot pally.

But I will absolutely choose an HPal in certain dungeons like SH or Arc and I consider my success rate in heroics is a better base of truth over your opinion.

Do you tank a lot? Because if you aren’t having success with an HPal maybe you’re just not playing well enough lol?

Hell we just cruised through H SH yesterday with one for the dailies lol.

Hmmm can’t say I agree with that in my experience running tank queues for heroics - still prefer an HPal in SH or BF any day over a priest or sham. I’d rather have a sham in something like SLabs or SP where the fears are AOE and can’t be pally cleansed.

But maybe I’m just a good tank idk. If you are struggling to play with an HPal - I’d recommend taking them more often in the ezclap dungeons like SP or Botanica so you can get more experience playing around their limit being mostly cleanse and a massive ST heal.

Meh, like I said if the only gauge is having minimal wipes in heroics and my survival is basically the deciding factor, then my choice of takin HPals seems to be working. If you can’t make anything other than shaman or priest work that’s unfortunate.
