Better PvP healer, Paladin or Priest?

[Mryul]

I still cant quite decide between them, got any more info?

if you plan on doing bg's you need to realise there is no good gear at all from ranking. All your gear is from PvE.

I enjoy paladin PvP healing more than priest TBH. And Paladins and priest get a equal share of horde focus. You have a lot of tools that make you a must have healer for BG's.
1. Buffs that horde don't have
2. BoSacrafice instant sheep/sleep/Sap blocker
3. BoFreedom=warriors love you
4. Bubble! In a sticky situation? Low health? Team's dying? Boom! *Bubble* Heal yourself and most of your teamates to full health.
5. Cleanse. Dispell magic and poision. The main debuffs in PvP.
6. Mix of plate armor (Just wait for T3, you'll be working 2 jobs, jerking off, and raise your kids all while being the top healer as a T3 paladin)

I'm perfectly okay with having to do PvE to get gear, that way I can just enjoy PvP and not focusing so much on ranking. I enjoy PvE. Thank you for the many inputs!

In what scales do paladins and priests perform the best?

What is the biggest counter to say, Paladin+Warrior? A priest?

Is the paladin best in small scales or large scales?

What classes can you outheal if they jump you, which ones can you not?

[Younie]

outheal as pala? kappa
pala is good because you can't cc them and they have good extra buff
but they can't outheal anything sorry
it's a support class, not a healing class

So as a paladin you can't keep another player alive through healing alone?

another thing to consider, is that its easier for a priest and druid to heal while moving. paladins have to stand still, for the most part.

in small scale, i would prefer a priest. priest can be very offensive and is better suited to provide that extra dps assist. one the reasons i like priest is how you can toss out some renews and shields, then proceed to dps/offensive dispel/burn. its fun to play them as aggressive hearlers.

paladins kinda crutch on hoj, and you will need it for basically everything.

in terms of raw healing output, i would give the edge to paladins. easy to pump out heals spamming flash heal.

in large scale, it doesnt matter that much like in av. but its eassier for a priest to run forward with the melee with instant heals. sometimes on a pally when the warrrior is going full penis and running into the fray, they can outrange you in the 1.5 sec cast.

priest if you want a dynamic playstyle
paladin if you want to shrug off melee/rogues
druid for shit eating grins per hour

in the end, healers in wow are force multipliers, not a force themselves. a strong healer has a massive pvp pressence. you just wont have it with shadow/ret.

What would you say counters a warrior + paladin?

[Ihealwpvp]

assuming you are not playing horde. priest. paladins really cant do anything beside hoj. which you basically need for anything and everything. resto shamans are great in small scale arena-esk situations. lots of interupts, purge etc. paladins are defensive by design and dont really have the abilities the other healers have to mess with anyone. but that t3 set.... its really unfair for horde. t3 paladins are by actual definition, god mode.

priest can offensively dispel freedom, and burn the paladin. assuming he is getting peels from his melee. priests can be very offesnive while supporting their team. paladins are support through and through. buffs, cleanse, heal. not to down play paladin pvp healing at all. its awesome, especially considering how strong melee is in vanilla.

and druid again for the shit eating grins per hour

[Mryul]

what makes t3 paladins so great?

how is it to raid with paladin?


how is full t2 paladin in pvp compared to a more healing-focused geared one?
