Holy Priest as Healer...?

[WoW Ranting] Posted Nov 29, 2008 19 Comments

As I've been playing with Holy Priest for a while now, of course I as well have had a chance to hear all sorts of unique stuff about healers and everything related to it. The basic knowledge that healer is guilty no matter what is common and known to anyone, but that's not the point. What I'm willing to rant about is the fact that people are starting to make a point across lately that Holy Priests are one of the worst healing classes, which is not exactly making me happy, considering I'm running around with one. But the thing is that the reasons why people are putting down Holy Priests is the fact that they, unlike Paladins can't wear armor to reduce damage taken and like Paladins and Druids/Shamans can't do some decent damage if needed. And in all honesty - these reasons amuse me to no end! First of all - Healer in the party shouldn't have to worry about taking damage, as there should be a tank who should be able to keep aggro on himself and mobs away from healer...
