Who would you rather heal? WAR or PLD?

PLD. War is too spiky.

WAR posting here i think most of WAR problems is people don't know when to use our inner-beast (700+) self heal, even my self i have only just fine tuned the use of it. other then that our main point of a warrior (self healing) does not exist out side inner-beast

I don't think that effects healers heals, and only Warrior self heals. I haven't noticed any differences in my cures.

I've had too many paladins with barely 1500 hp getting hit hard and often, that it becomes more of a fight to keep their hp from getting any lower for me at this point. Don't know what's up with that, but I think it has something to do with more of their mitigation abilities coming in after lvl40...

In my experience so far, GLA/PAL have been sturdier, but worse with aggro and things take a little longer to kills.

By contrast, MRD/WAR have held aggro better, things die faster, and the only drawback is that they require a few more heals. But, knowing that, I can plan for it.

I'd personally have to lean more towards healing a paladin over a warrior. I mean when I started out warriors had so much HP it felt like I rarely had to heal them. Now though they get hit so much harder that a paladin's natural defense just pulls them ahead.

I gotta chip in and say from what I have noticed, WAR seems to push out higher emnity numbers than a PLD.
But man their spiky health bars make me feel like they are at risk of dropping unless I give them a lot of focus.
Healing a PLD I can throw on a Regen, /wave at each DPS, /sit /doze and come back to the PLD with another regen.

Pld , I use to think b/c of the shield blocking it made things easier on my whm

But it's just the dmg mitigation moves , pre 38 War pulls ahead but then Pld has sentinel and once they got Shield Oath it just makes my job much easier

Both are the same to me, PLD can reduce dmg while WAR have lot of hp so as long they dont overpull and evade the red zone right, I feel no different

I honestly don't know. I have seen many good warrior tanks. Not so many good paladins. But the few awesome paladins I have seen, I wanted to keep forever and always. (Same goes for bards who actually sing their songs, but that is a little off topic.)
