Curious what people think is the best healer to use with 4 Beast Mastered Hunters that just auto-follow and manually control each hunter.
Paladin intuitively jumps out to me for:
- Threat boost on Pets with Retribution Aura (or more armor/etc);
- -30% less Threat on Hunters/Healer due to Salvation;
- Flexible Buff on pets (kings,etc) and party (if threat not an issue);
- Only healer able to Cleanse 3 effects on Party (Magic, Posion, Disease);
- Strong enough heals for pets/hunters though single target except for blessing of light or other niche abilities;
Priest is typically the proto-typical healer especially when you consider buff/shields/HoT/AoE-healz but Paladin seems more compelling at least at first glance.
Druid has stealth, HoTs, thorns, & can remove curse/poison but lack of a real rez kinda kills it for me and just seems sub-par to Paladin and maybe even Priest (unless you look at it thematically).
I don't really know Classic Shamans so harder for me to think though the pros/cons but suspect they may be really strong due to totems (especially tremor and dispelling totems and that is even before totem buffs).
