World of Warcraft

Hi.
I can't decide, which healer (druid or priest) i should play.
Have, and like both. Mainly i want heal, but sometimes change to shadow/balance would be great :)
Im not interested in melee dps, tank and PVP. I love druid forms, and love priest spells, bubbles...
(Yes i read sticky thread, still cant decide)

Why can't you play both? There's no reason to limit yourself to one character, especially considering how easy Cataclysm has made switching from Main to Alt.

Still, reading your post to me it seems that you're leaning more towards priest healing than being a resto druid. For example, you only mention your fondness of druid shape-shifting which isn't even related to healing, where as when you talk about being a priest you talk about spells and even mention bubbling specifically. I'm no psychologist but to me at least priest is for you.
Lastly, even now you're posting on your healing priest further strengthening my conclusion.

Dorus -> You may be right :) I think, priest is class for me, but druid is awesome too! I know, i can play both, but i want choose "main" for achievements, mounts...

- !@#$ guys we lost an other one "com"

Still not decided :) Druid +:
- I prefer balance than shadow priest
- Efflorescence is nice ^^
- Can run, jump when heal

Paladin. :P

We can tank and melee dps if you get bored of healing and ranged dps
Also if you´r Nightelf female you can do volts when healing o_O

Yup, part of the problem in Cata if you ask me!

I can't decide, which healer (druid or priest) i should play.

Druids are still viable healers but Priest will probably offer more tools and gives you two heal styles to play with if you aren't interested in much else.

I like my druid but I do frown a lot since the changes in 4.3, more work for less output and nothing in return.....still top the meters occasionally but get the feeling I work twice as hard as other healers do now for it.

If your looking to play a dps offspec go with the priest. Balance is terrible atm.

Im never looking for "best class ATM", just want most fun class :)

Ok, i played few hours my druid on RF, random dung and... really enjoy it. But priest too.
What should i do? /roll? :D

I prefer the priests playstyle honestly.. I played a priest in vanilla and TBC, so it's a while ago.. I lost my priest's account tho, so i rerolled druid, which is great too. But for healing specifically, i'd rather play a priest.

You spoke about end game content in a way. Mounts, achi and so forth, then i say druid mate.

That way, you can heal, then do all others as time goes by! I had the same prob, rolled a priest and now stuck. I cant really dps (got shadow, but thats ALL) as druid, you have rdps, mdps, tank AND heals...... Which is what i think will be a awesome exprience at lvl cap.

That way, you can get full exposure and do everything in game. Plus as druid in feral cat is really fun to lvl.

You right, but i think im never go tank, Cat dps maybe but not interested yet.
Love healing, and love both class. Imo, druid is easier to play, less spells and great mana regen + innervate. On priest i must controll all CD, rapture (disc), generally more work.
But easier = better? I dont think so :P
And i always love "magic" classes - priest is more magic?

Still not decided.
<- Yeah, its my druid :P

(great argument for priest - i spend 33k on him for vial of the sands ;o)

Suppose, but what i'm talking about is how will you feel in a years time? ?

I don't know, really.
I know that Druid is safer and "never bad choice", because i can do all but still i want heal, and tank,rdps,mdps is optional.

Btw, its not like that:
Druid < other classes? For example Cat DPS < Rogue?

I think Druids stand to lose or gain the most with the proposed changes in MoP. We could find ourselves truly awesome and use shapeshifting to make everything work better....or we could find ourselves severly nerfed into the role of utility class and unable to effectively do any role to it's full potential.

Priest probably a safer option, druids are always tricky and are one class that is always tinkered with by Blizz due to it's hybrid nature....sometimes it works sometimes they screw us over. Ce la vie :)

I think, i choosen Priest, i try holy spec and its really awesome - so i like all 3 trees :)
But is not too much priests? I could have a problems with found group (DS for example)?

There's not really an issue of stacking certain classes anymore. There are always buff overlaps now so one or two of a certain class isn't going to break the raid these days like it did in times gone by.

The only issues that might arise is with multiple Disco Priests trying to bubble people that already have the debuff. Holy isn't a problem though....all their heals stack nicely so shouldn't be an issue.
