World of Warcraft Leveling Secrets – How To Level A Healer
If you’re considering rolling a healing class in World of Warcraft, but you’re just not sure which class is right for you, then this guide will help you make your decision. Specifically, we’re going to cover druids, priests and shamans. We will also talk about how healers can be hard to level, and how this will become easier with “dual specs”. When you have finished reading this article, you will be able to pick the right healing class for your playstyle.
First, there are many different healing classes in World of Warcraft, each with their own pros and cons. Your main choices are between a priest, druid or shaman. The druid’s strengths are mainly HOT’s (heal over time’s). The Priest has a mixture of HOT’s and direct heals. The shaman doesn’t have any heal over time abilities, but more than makes up for this with strong direct heal spells and area of effect heals (such as chain heal). The shaman in particular is a master of raid healing.
However, something you need to remember before you roll a healer, is they can be harder to level, if you’re levelling in a healing spec. If you’re a druid, consider using a druid leveling guide, and using the feral talents for quicker leveling speeds.
If you’re a priest, you can follow a specific priest leveling guide, and spec shadow. The shadow talent tree can give you unrivalled damage, and also offers several mana regeneration skills and talents.
Finally, if you want to try the shaman, you can follow a shaman leveling guide. Instead of trying to level in a weaker healing spec, you should try the powerful enhancement or elemental talent trees.
Luckily, Blizzard are finally correcting their mistakes, and in the next patch will be allowing players to have “dual” specs. This is great new if you’re a healer, because now you can solo level and farm for mats, and still heal instances for your guild. When you want to do some solo grinding, farming or leveling, you can simply switch to your DPS spec. This will make it much easier to level healers for most players.
To summarize, this article has talked about some of the pros and cons you’re going to experience if you’re leveling a healer in WoW. Specifically, we covered the main healing classes, why healers can be difficult to level, and the benefits you’re soon going to receive by using a duel spec. Now that you have finished reading this article, you should have plenty of information to help you decide which healing class is for you.
