Which HEALER do you prefer?

[Feathery]

There is a topic in the healer subforums about which tanking class we prefer. So I figured it would be interesting to flip the script. State your job/class and which healer you prefer SCH or WHM preferably a motivation on why sa well .

They will all say SCH cause it doesn't pull as much hate.

Ok, I will bite.

On my PLD, I prefer WHM, why? simply, they can bring me up very quickly and also have a very powerful AoE heal which comes in help during add phases.

On my WAR, I would prefer SCH, simply because they provide me with great mitigation and even though their heals are weaker, I actually get a chance to use my self heals, unlike with WHM where my self heals just go wasted.

no only paladins will say SCH for they got shit agro. a warrior on the other hand dont care we dont even care if the dps AoE or ST one mob each we can maintain agro on everything we just take so much damage that we are no better then another DPS class ...

Indeed. :P
As I'm sure all the healers say PLD cause our damage is a lot less spikey.

As a Warrior trying to get to 50 and then planning to level a healer (I love doing both) I have not ran enough with one or the other to make an educated argument. But I'm definitely interested to see the discussion.

@Shyluv - I understand I have not done any end game content but I can't say that this would factor into my decision as thus far I have had no issues holding threat as a warrior

I like them both... But in a few fights WHM heal aggro can make things a bit harder... The ones i can think of off the top of my head are the Bees on demonwall ( pretty much a non-issue at this point) and as an off tank the sister adds in the Howling eye.

For throughput both are fine. But for the love of god WHM pull a lot of threat. I don't know what it is. I feel like half the WHM's I run with decide to cast Medica II on the pull just to troll me. On Titan, I will have threat then bam, after first tumults / stomp WHM pulls w/ 2-3 the aggro of anyone else in the party. It's ridiculous. What is up with that anyway?

I asked a WHM about that once. He told me that he wanted to get the regen effect on everyone. You know, completely ignorant of the fact that no one had taken any damage nor would they for the duration of said regen effect.

I think most healers are so used to never having to worry about threat that they just think that they'll never get it no matter what they do. I've seen WHM that didn't even have Shroud of Saints on their bar.

Its a Resto Druid tactic.

Just tell them to put their Druid away and start playing their White Mage.

I used to be a raid healer on a Resto Druid back in classic and early BC WoW - in the days when healers DID have massive aggro and 'HoTting up the group' with regens would pull down the universe on you... but for the 5 years, that's not been the case.
