  1. This one is sooooo much better than Jak's. I admit my bias as a dedicated pres evoker, but I hate when people say it's easy. Before pres, Disc was my favorite and I played it in SL. The things I'd overwhelmingly complain about as Disc are fairly non-existent as Pres. Pres is and will continue to be my main for the end of time if it's not fundamentally changed. Over 70d played in DF!

  2. I think the proactiveness is a huge part, but for those looking to really master a healer and wanting to include damage in their kit which is not optional for multiple of the healers, I think HPal, MW and RDruid are harder than Pres just due to the need to be in melee. A lot of people can't wrap their heads around the melee part and the extra danger that comes with while still healing.

  3. As a new player to retail WoW healing its nice to be validated in my choices for healer (Disc and Pres) being difficult and not just me being a simple classic healer 😀
    Discipline felt very alien, trying to keep atonements up and still doing damage to get the healing done so I made a dragon and while its not been easy it feels a lot better to move around and breathe green fire into my party members behinds. Only done +2's so far but i've had so much more fun than I was in classic (other than the whirlpools of pain and suffering).

  4. Tip for learning utility spells:

    Do it the same way as learning to keybind. Have all your base abilities you need to heal bound and ready, and then add in a new utility ability. Use it every time you see a good opportunity for it. Once you feel you comfortably have a grasp of it, add a second utility ability. Once you feel you have the grasp of using them both, add a third. Continue until all moves are fulfilled, and dont be afraid to go back to square one with a new ability. If you arent able to add another and give the new ability the attention it deserves, strip everything else off and just have that ability on its own to learn it, then add it back to the whole. Do not be discouraged if its slow, you're asking yourself to completely change the criteria you're looking for and add a new reaction for it. As long as you can keep people alive you have nothing to be worried about. Turning yourself into an exceptional healer two months from now is superior to being an okay healer next week.

    Some may disagree with this method and that's fine. From my point of view, using one spell very well is superior to having them all available and rarely thinking to use them.

  5. I used LFR to learn healing. Not as much pressure being perfect, and you can take your time working on everything with the other healers covering up for the newness.

  6. For anyone looking to get into druid, it's great now. Really great space now. Just get comfortable with your main healing abilities and how to ramp up the amount of healing you do when things happen. But once you learn the fights, try to aggressively shape to the other forms you have. Catweaving looks to become really powerful in M+ for the mana generation and the extra damage it will do which is very useful as it reduces the downtime between packs as well as give you access to a stun opener and interrupts.

    I've always been bad at cat weaving, but with some changes that occurred in the pre-patch, it's really great now. You can now rely on your hots on the packs that doesn't overwhelm the tank, and instead help out with preventing damage, so you won't have to heal as much. Also! Trees can be cast in any form, use that to stay in cat longer.

    And Bearform is your best friend for ANY big abilities coming your way as it increases your HP and also your armor for any physical hits.

  7. @0:33 … Dangit. Why does Growl have to keep making really good Points?
    Growl used to annoy me (mostly because of how hard they exploit SEO).
    As both a high-end WoW-Player AND a Delve-Enjoyer/Mole-Person(?), I still think Growl has some big misconceptions, but lately they have been winning me over; and they're now probably the most "trustworthy" of the vocal Healer Content-Creators.
    (Some Content-Creators put a lot of effort into manipulating Class-Balance in their Favor, which I consider dishonest.)

  8. Mostly agree with the list, but I’d personally put Druid up to third easiest. I found it ridiculously easy to learn: damage is coming, put hots out, watch health go straight back up 😂I think mw has the potential to be easy or hard for a newbie also. You have to understand AT, trust the dps healing and know how to properly utilise it for triage vs when to spot heal. It’s not just a simple out of the box and go spec like holy or rsham is, so if a newbie doesn’t quite get it yet, they will struggle a lot (saw that firsthand with people attempting to go mw back in s3 when it was blasting)

  9. I agree with rsham pick. The holy words and CDs of holy are just bit more confusing sounding than resto shaman. Drop totem it does healing. Hit ascendance heal more. Drop Spirit link share health. The tooltips are just consistently shorter and simpler and more intuitive than holy

  10. Also, if you're doing Mythic + and you feel like you're running out of mana, do not hesitate to tell the group that you need to stop and drink some. Remember your water, they'll always be purchasable from Innkeepers where you can set your Hearthstone.

  11. Yesterday I got my rdruid up to 70, so now I have all 6 healer classes at max level for the first time since I started playing in SL 🎉 Looking forward to trying them all in TWW. I main hpriest, love being able to throw out big chunky heals as needed.

    As a casual, my list is a lot less informed than yours!! But I struggle with healing in melee so it looks a little different:

    Easiest – hpriest
    resto shaman
    rdruid
    pres evoker
    mw monk
    hpala
    Hardest – disc priest

    Thanks for the videos! ❤
