Best Healer for S6 arena

[Zal]

While since most of us are starting up a team for this season, what class healer are you looking for? Personally i have no idea which would make the best healer anymore with all the changes made to every class.

I have 5 healers at the moment.

Holy pally -- 2 priest, 2 resto druids -- for BGs the pally and one of the priest will partner up and heal my guys and we just dominate everything ;)

areana wise I haven't had a chance to test yet but the priest is pretty good with the aoe heals.

I might lean towards priest now, due to the aoe bubble.

Holy Pali

One of the things that might be cool is that the higher rated teams from season 5 who had high MMR are rising fast. Blizzard didnt reset the MMR so if you had a 2500+ MMR you are gaining 20-30 pts and 0-3 for a loss. They will get the new 1850-2200 weapons fast. In fact I know of a bunch of teams already well above 2k+. No Idea if blizzard will go back and reset, since the 2200 weapons are i239 (equal to end of hard-ulduar).

So if your just starting out or didnt do too well last season it should be a little easier gaining points and teams who did alright last season will get back up to where they were fast and gain the new items fairly quickly.

Without any doubt i will try to find a skilled holy paladin, i played with a good priest last seson but even with me spamming healing him he died if he got focused by meele! (I guess this change if your priest have full deadly gear thought!)

With the new auras i belive paladins can be even better! :)

Pve geared holy pally is the way to go.

Was pvping in Sholazar the other day. Cast four fireballs followed by 4 instant pyros. Outhealed them all instantly. :|

One anecdote concerning a healer that is highly CD dependent hardly makes for a good recommendation though.

I wasn't recommending anything I was having a cry. If I was to recommend a class I'm sure I would have given at least a few valid reasons.

I need to get better at it, but thats where counterspell can help. Especially if talented to silence... they still have bubble, but just wait it out.... I almost killed an 80 pally on my DK/Sham team when I was level 63... He had to burn both his bubble AND his LoH, before he killed one of me, then ran away crying... Once they blow their CDs, you can finish off fairly well.

Rogues theese days are turning into my favourite targets, just flame shock them right away forcing them to clos. After clos is gone theyr clearly one of the softest targets in the game, they need a lucky vanish to survive.

Also warriors who havent had the time or brain to use a shield is soft as hell, i killed tons before they even dismounted last night.

With the shock glyph and instant lava burst gives people zero chance to even react in meele range.
