Compare the healers

Hello forum :)

 

I was wondering if people could list all the healers in the game and compare them, this isn't a balance discussion more of the different types of healer.

 

For people who played wow. Something like this:

Priest: Shield based and direct heals.

Paladin: Instant heals and big heals.

Druid: Heal over time.

etc etc.

 

I don't know which healer to go and wanted to look at the playstyles of each before I make my choice. Thanks alot :)

Sorc/Cons are like priests

Mercs/Comms are like pallys

Operative/Scoundrels are more a pile of dung than anything. However I guess they kind of play like resto druids, which I enjoy, which makes them not entirely horrible to heal with, even though they suck and only have 3 healing spells worth putting on your skillbar.

 

I recommend either a consular or a commando, they both have great PVP and PVE healing, while having great DPS alternatives should you get tired of healing or for leveling etc.

As it stands now, I wouldn't advise anyone to roll a Ops/Sco until the skill/talent trees get an overhaul, even though they have my favorite class stories.

- Underworld Medicine

- Slow-Release Medpac

- Emergency medpac (instant cast after UWM - great for big heals)

- Kolto Cloud

- Diagnostic scan (using to recover energy after Kolto Cloud)

 

5 heals is what I'm using with smuggler.

 

Anyways the Smuggler and Commando feels a lot a like. Tried both @ 50 with good gear - a lot the same, but I prefer Smuggler.

 

But I agree mostly with Coolcutter

 

Scoundrel/Operative: Druid/pally HoT and big heals

Commando/Mercenary: Paladin/some druid to it with the AE hot

Sage/Sorcerer: Priest

 

Go with any of them. They're all fun to play, if I had to suggest one to you now it would be sage/sorcerer as they got shield + a nice AE heal.
