Your Favorite PvP Healer Class

Xssiv

I'd have to say Disc Priest during the Cata and MoP xpacs.   Blizz decided to totally gimp me in WoD which if frustrating after 4 years of honing my skills for a particular class.  

My runner up would probably be the Medic in Wildstar.  Unfortunately, the game only has two BG's and botting was rampant when I played.   

If Carbine added a BG or two and it was apparent that bots in PvP had been dealt with for the most part, I'd be all over that game.

Daoc Pac Healer, Instant stun and mezz(stun until dmged) + spread heal = freaking op. I havent found another healer class in any MMO that could lock down 2-3 targets indefinitly while healing the group.

I thought the ToS from AoC was most likely one of the greatest healing classes in any game ever, but if only one thing.. AoC got all of the healing classes spot on and very playable from a PvP and PvE perspective.

Disc priest shoulda been nerfed 8 years ago.  The reason I don't play that game.

Warrior Priest from WAR... you smash them and people near you get healed.

I played healers in the past on WoW, WO, SWtOR, and Rift. The Sorc in SWtOR was a lot of fun but he was OP as hell. My favorite was the Shaman in WoW, she was just so versatile that you were never idle.

WoW druid in vanilla I basically mixed feral and healing gear and was nearly unkillable. Later on disc priests with speed boosts heals and shields became very fun to me also.

While not known for its pvp EQ1 had 2 great pvp healing classes in the early days Shamans and Druids. Shamans with heals, nukes, blind, slow, root and DoT's. Druids with heals, nukes, root, snare and DoT's.

My all-time fav healer in pvp was Warhammer zealot. He was just the right blend of power and articulation while not being over the top op.

Akulas

Self healers usually monk or necro

Phoebes

Zealot from WAR

MrTuggles

Evasion build Shaman in Ether Saga Online. Was basically unable to be killed for the longest time in that game. Could tank, heal, and deal some pretty decent damage.

Is this some kind of joke ?

Can somebody explain it ?

My Paladin in WoW. My cousin and I would rock the BG as a duo. He played a rogue and people would think I was a lone player and attack me. We would take out small teams in a duo. So hard to kill me I would heal tank 2-3 people like it was nothing lol

Probably still the biggest fan of my Shaman in WOW.  Really now more than ever, where stacking your spells in the right order has such a huge impact on overall healing (and yet isn't always automatic, so your rotation isn't automatically going to be the same at all times.)  Not all healers made it out as fun (in fact I can't really think of a reason you'd want to heal on a Druid nowadays, with Savage Roar being like the only utility you get apart from your heals, whereas other healers get so many more fun things to play with.)

Despite the game's awful rotation quality, I'd have to cite Warrior Priests (WAR) as another favorite.  In part because it had this crazy complicated dual-selection system where you had one enemy target and one friendly, and your melee against the enemy healed the friendly for a percentage.  Was a fun system -- shame about the game's PVE having near-zero mob variety, which made it boring as dirt.  While Monks (WOW) heal in a similar melee way (with a more interesting rotation), it's not quite the same as having the dual-selection of Warrior Priests.

...oh the thread was PVP.   Meh.  All MMORPG PVP is trash, so I pick Technician (Enemy Territory: Quake Wars) due to it's superb balance between healing, damage, the ability to turn enemy corpses into repsawn points for allies, and the ability (of all Strogg) to shift health into ammo and vice-versa (which on a healing class is extra useful.)

That was definitely a good one. For tab target games probably my favorite as well. Although overall I'd say TERA's Priest is my favorite PvP healer class.

^ this.  It was about the only thing the class could do initially.

Beyond that:

Combat Medic > SWG

Bounty Hunter > SWTOR

BH HoTs were awesome in PvP + all the utility skills to boot. They were fun.

Pac healer  DAoC.

Priest  WoW.

Tera Priest, my all time fav, nice to target players rather than tabbing and staring at heal bars. Spell animations are cool as hell to! Rift Chloromancer,  nice mechanic aoe healing while doing dps. AOC Tempest of Set and POM bit of a learning curve though.

I agree.

By far the best Healer i'v played in any PvP game... ever.

You probably never had mana considering the only mana effective spell was in Witchcraft.

Only thing I didn't like about the Warrior Priest, if you fought a Disciple of Khaine it was a stalemate.
