Question for the Warriors.Follow

My personal favorite healer "happens" to be a Priest. Only because of her skills as a healer, not neccessarily the class. If she had the same level of skill on a resto druid or a healidan, then that would be my favorite "type" of healer.

Point is, whenever you find a great healer (whatever class), attach them to your hip and give them whatever mana pots you pick up.

Honestly I'm gonna have to go for Shamans...I usually get lucky with Shamans and they actually are competent.

Gonna have to agree with thebarbarian. Healadins are my fav. Their flashheals are great and their durability is great! But there are downsides aswell. They have to stay put while healing. Our Karateam runs with a Pally and a Priest as healers. We also have a Offhealer (drood). He is primarily DPS, but he can step in as OT, DPS and Healer. He has great gear =)

I like shammies. Chain heals are awesome for the group. 25% more armor for me. Earthshield is fantastic. They got totems, which are some of the most powerful buffs in the game.

I'll echo the prevailing sentiment that my favorite healer is the healer that knows what they're doing. It's hard to say whether or not I have a favorite class, because I've been with good ones and bad ones of all healing classes. My personal favorite healer now is a 70 priest in our guild, who is phenomenal at what he does. I don't even realize I'm taking heavy damage, most of the time, he's that good.

Case in point, ran Durnholde 3 times with that priest one day. Then ran it once more with a different priest because he had to log. The first 3 times, we blew through it and took down the last boss with ease. The 4th time, we wiped on the 1st and second waves before the last boss, then we wiped on him, too, because the healer wouldn't mana up between fights. She also decided she'd rather heal her guildies/friends in the group before healing the tank for some reason. We managed to beat the thing once I got them to listen to my instructions and let me build aggro, but it was rough going.

I LOVE druid heals. they have the bets HOT's in the game and they NEVER run out of mana even when im tanking 4 mobs in heroic dungeons.

/agreed

Was both disturbed and amused by that avatar :P - dunno what that says about me...

Edit: My favourite healer depends on the class I'm playing:
Warrior - Priest/Healadin;
Druid (tank) - Healadin;
Warlock - Druid. I love that I can lifetap more safely with a druid healing me. Lifebloom ticks of 700-900 and Rejuv ticks of 1200 mean I'm pretty safe always and not taking away to much from other people who need to be healed.

Whatever keeps my group and myself alive. I'm not incrediblt picky, as long as I know the healer is competent.
