Best arena healer

Hey guys, I finally got fed up with resto druids in the arena and decided to roll a new healer.
Which class do u think is best for 2v2 and 3v3? I’m thinking long term, so monks probably aren’t the best choice since they have already been op for so long.
I’m leaning towards priest or pala, what do you guys think?

In long term run I wouldnt recommend a pally. He’s fotm now but historically its a rollercoaster healer.

Shaman, druid and paladins are the 3 healers that are always viable but shaman and druid are a bit off right now for some reason

I agree, paladins have not always been good, and since I don’t like the play-styles of retribution or protection, it’s probably not a safe choice.
I’ve always though of shamans as underdogs. Good in some comps and patches, but over time inconsistent and often replaced by something better.

So that leaves priest and monk…
Like i said, I don’t expect monks to be good for far longer. I’d also miss having a ranged-dps offspec.
As for priests, it will be really hard to stay alive vs melee cleaves in 3v3. They are quite squishy and their mobility is really poor.

Tough choice XD

Priest will forever be good due to RMP

in that case every healer is good cus fire assa can play with every healer in the game

Play priest, shadow is hella fun top tier caster atm. Feathers + ground macro gives okeish mobility.

Not sure about the best but paladin is always a good bet because of bubble and plus plate armour mogs are nice.

all healers good.

I am also ditching my resto druid.

I don’t mind holy paladin, so going that route, personally.

Paladin is a hard caster. You need to fake cast alot and I mean A LOT. Bubble cooldown is 5 minutes unless you take the talent but you lose double cavalier. Pick resto shaman or disco priest. As resto shaman you are less punished. The totem that put a shield on you and all people in the radius forgot the name + earth shield and riptide can save you also healing totems.
As disco its still good but the problem comes with the mana. Watching Hydra and he oom so fast which is not so good.
Pick MW monk is the best choice if you don’t want to play resto shaman or disco priest.
