Hi. I completed the other 6 challenges, I left the hardest for last. What class would you recommend for this challenge to someone who has never played a healer before? People say it’s easy with holy pala and resto druid, but holy paladin is the hardest healer as far as I know. I studied some of their skills today and it felt very difficult to master them all and use them at the right time.
How do you think I should continue? Should I level up a more forgiving class for a braindead like me with fewer keys? Or should I start learning the holy paladin? Thank you all.
Id recommend a hpala or rdudu. H pala had great utility for the first phase with repetence and turn evil. Other classes have less cc than palas in this particular scenario.
I dont know how the scaling currently is, but hpala has quite some utility available like stuns. Currently also an interrupt. It makes the first phase quite doable.
And the healing challenge isn’t about healing. Most phases are completely a dps race. Kill the mobs that deal damage means no damage.
I did the challenge on all my healers, Shaman and Paladin easiest by faaar. interupts, stuns utility etc really helps. And they got strong singletarget healing cds. Which is really nice for the challenge.
Someone said that he couldn’t do it with hpala and rdurid and finally he could do it with holy priest. I think it seems the most logical to go with holy paladin.
I did it second try going in completely blind not knowing anything at all about how the healer challenge looks, mechanics etc.
I can say for sure as resto druid it was a cake walk. Even easily outhealed things i clearly messed up as i took tons of avoidable damage according to my logs
i can recommend druid. I play druid yes and did it again with the reworked talents in 1 try. In shadowlands it was way harder but now in df i think everyone can do it as rdruid
positives:
lot of healing. hots on every player
doing passiv damage through moonfire/sunfire
lots of cc. incap aoe intterupt for p1 knifedance and mages, mass root or vortex for the ads which chasing you, typhoon, cyclon if you want it single target root. You always incap the mage after some casts and knife dances and double knife dances. Some dances you need to heal except you have talented cyclon then use that
lot of defensive abilities with bear and heal in bear, the 30% selfheal spell, barkskin, ironbark
good cooldowns: convoke or incarn for last phase where you need to heal the adds flying into the mid, tranquillity for same adds,
You need cc for p1 and good heals for last phase and druid has both! Remember after each step you can wait for your cds and mana if you need to. give it a try
