healer pvp classes

[:1]hey ive recently come back to wow for cata and i wanted to make a healer class since ive played dps before(rogue and hunter), i love to pvp and prefer range classes, i was just wondering with all the recent changes to classes, which healer classes are good to kill people, i was looking at the shaman but ive herd they have gone under some nerfs and are only good for healing, also if u want to be good at pvping with a shaman u need good gear for their burst damage. the two other classes i was considering are druids and priest which i dont know much about, i would be considering a pally but i dont like melee any suggestions?|||Strangely enough, I think paladins have some of the strongest healer burst right now, but the honest truth is that all healer burst has been pretty badly neutered. It's exceptionally hard to kill another player as a healer these days. Most dps specs have enough self healing to outpace healer dps. I honestly don't know that any one healing spec really outpaces the others when it comes to dps.

Now you've made me miss the days when I could actually kill other players on my healing priest. Now I just have to hang out and keep myself alive until a mage wanders by to help me.

Don't get me wrong, healers are good in PvP right now, they are just very much in a support roll. Healer vs. DPS 1v1 has a nasty habit of coming out as a draw these days all things being equal.|||i second this, paladins are the strongest pvp healer right now. They are like a healing tank on steroids.|||Quote:

They're the single worst healers in BGs/ Arenas.

They can't heal while CC'ed (as opposed to HoTs/Earth Shield/PW:S), -need- to cast to heal (other than Holy Shock) which makes them very susceptible to interrupts and have the weakest CC of all healers.|||healer vs dps is a draw only till the healer runs out of mana, in the long run the dps will almost always win in the end.|||Quote:
