bg healer

[flowison]

why are druids so terribly bad in bgs?
only due to the lack of a dispel?

what makes them so strong in tbc and later addons?

is a flag carry druid feral specced, right?

Cyclone

I used this spec for a while on my priest before i stopped playing, i loved it for BGs, PvE healing was horrible though.

A lot of procs which i like especially if i'm getiting focused and they have a priest or shaman purging me, but you get all the essentials and 10 seconds of constant healing after death, which used to come in hella handy for me. All based on your play style

I think this is an exaggeration. I wouldn't call them terrible, but yes. The main problem with them is they can not dispel, and aid the warriors who are the assist targets. If your main assist isn't on a target, then there's a huge problem trying to kill anyone. That is why you can fill all your healer spots with priests, but you cannot do that with druids. However, one resto druid can be pretty legit in AB, but there aren't really enough spots for a healer druid in wsg where you're going for a serious comp.

Lifebloom, cyclone, kiting ability/survivability (although they have that in vanilla as well)

Not usually full feral. Its most popular to pick up at least nature's swiftness in the resto tree if you're a serious flag carrier.

you want 31 resto with feral charge/1 feline swiftness for FC. bear/resit gear adapting to what's giving you trouble.

as someone who only plays pvp healers. i like priests and druid the best. Priest for over-all playstyle/support.

druid for trolling/peacing out. Druids probably have the best skill set to deal with bad team mates not peeling. which is a rampant issue in the current meta. Blows my mind the ammount of chest thumpers who call themselves good pvpers on alliance side who cant even focus fire and peel
