Default Which is your favorite healer in a group?

Mine is Cleric, they get way less aggro than all the others. Shamans annoy me to no end as the ones I have played with all draw constant aggro. Disciples would be a close second to this and judging by the whining I see on the healer board I can see why. Blood Mage I have never had as a main healer in a group so not sure about them?

So which is your favorite as a tank?

The archetype system has already failed.

Just becuase all three can heal evenly doesn't mean you can't have preferences.

It is very likely that there is a class that will work better for how you like to play, or the situations you expect to run it. The other reason for preferences would come out of comparative weaknesses.

If someone knows what classes their weaknesses benefit, and know which classes have a weakeness which benefits them, there is a lot of extra damage to be had just from group composition.

And I won't be adding a vote as my main is a healer, and that would be biased of me.

clerics are nice right now cuz of their efficient heals and how beefy they are. if they get aggro, i'm not in a mad panic to pull aggro back off them like i would be if it were a bloodmage.

Blood mage all the way. Excellent dps when not healing, and there blood line allows them to turn some of your damage into health than health into mana. Get yourself a bloodmage. Find yourself some 4 dots and the fight can go on for a very long time if need be.

i'll go with shammy (at least before patch :P)

good heals, very nice ward, nice dps, very good utility with pet, roots, buffs. levi, sneak (if wolf) and can take an hit or 2

cleric is also nice as he doesn't need much attention (even if is extremely difficult to lose aggro to a cleric)

i'm veeery curious about blood mage, it seem really great but also a bit ehm "dangerous" due to paper armor and (before patch low hps)

i don't like disciples, they draw a lot of aggro and to me doesn't seem that good healer... but maybe is just that i never grouped with a good one

Since I am a dk with no life taps I will take ANY healer for the win. I am partial to clerics though, since I had to play one sometimes to get my sk groups sometimes. Now I play a DK so things are TOTALLY different

My favorite healer is one that doesn't suck.

Class doesn't matter.

And to the poster that said the three heal equally .. there ARE FOUR healer ATs in this game.

Shaman with the wolf totem. They have the best dps.

for a full group with only one healer? Blood Mage all the way!
for a group with one healer already? Shaman (i like bear the best, but wolf is nice too.)
for a group where I am not tanking? Cleric.

for some damn reason I can't keep aggro off those clerics very well
don't have much experience with disciples.

Disciples. They are just great.
Clerics I know are always trying to steal my mobs with their rescue. :P

QFT. Any of them can heal fine. Unless they are too busy dpsing
