I am a fan of healing i already own a Paladin, Priest and Shaman. and now i want another 120 char but which to use my level boost on? Druid or Monk?
Who of the 2 is most fun? Or should i do something out of the box and roll a dps?
I think monk is more fun than druid as a healer. That said, monks have an experience boost until level 90, with heirlooms and warmode bonus (remember you can level up to 60 in Alliance exclusive zones, thus avoiding PvP related deaths ) I don’t think monk is the class to waste a boost on.
I would boost the druid and level the monk a have a full roster of healers
I have a monk main and my one alt is a druid Which basically means I favour monk - but it is very close.
Monk has bursty, in-combat mobility and you can afford to be slow to react because you have the tools to not die. Your defensives are solid, your raid healing is superb, and you’ll mostly suffer from mana problems rather than lack of healing output. You’ll often outlive other healers in raid wipes and have the power of teleport to reset some bosses without having to die at all. Like your current healers, it is largely reactive, but you will need to master cleaving via Renewing Mist, and you’ll almost certainly want some custom party frames to help you with that.
Druid has better open-world mobility, and is absolutely wasted if not a herbalist (mine is a miner so… yeah). You have stealth and speed and flexibility via affinity with your other specs. In raid wipes, you’ll die somewhere after priests and before monks. Healing-wise, its going to feel different; you need to have your heals ticking before things start to happen, and that tends to demand more encounter knowledge than reactive healers. While they are often perceived FOTM for M+ healing, people I know who main druids say that there are certain encounters that are harder than on any other healer due to the lack of immediate burst healing.
TLDR, druid will be more “different” and has great flexibility, but I find the pinball style of monk to be just slightly more fun on the whole.
Try both as trial for a bit, then make a choice
When are you gonna start out living me?
Both are good, but represent different healing styles. I’d use the class trial to give both a whirl and see if something clicks for you. I love druid healing and cat weaving, but I’ve done it for a long time and it’s very familiar, so feels perfect.
Druid is a more common choice for M+ healing, monk does better (than druid) in raid healing currently, but both can heal in either content area.
Pfft, who’s the hunky chunky panda who resets the raid when all the other healers are dead?
Not to mention I am forever focus healing our priests when the burst damage is happening because otherwise the angels will come out to play
I hated leveling my monk, so I stopped. But enjoyed leveling my druid. I’d thus boost my monk.
Sssst, lemme look fancy here
You’re always fancy. Cloth mogs are just better, tis known.
Go monk if I’m honest, after playing pally, shaman and priest you’ll fall in love with their mobility.
Druid is also fun though.
Monks have 100% bonus xp up to lvl 90 as Korrina have mention.you get that bonus by doing daily quest which take 1 min .you can stack up to 6 hours of bonus xp.
Druid healer is more new for you, monk is kinda simular to shammy & priest ( assuming holy priest )
Although monk’s bring better utillities as dps so if you like that you can play monk and even if your bad you provide 5% physical damage buff to everything you attack for your team ( really handy in raids since nobody plays monks )
In short : Monk if you wanna dps, and heal & tank on the side
DROOD if you wanna main tank or healer and dont really dps much
or was it 50% ,cant remember? i dont want to mislead Op,hopefully some one can confirm
It’s 50%
Still, since it stacks with everything else, you get more than 100% xp boost, not to mention DMF is in town, and that’s another 10% on top.
Yes, roll a tank.
You’ll be a better player if you have experience of all roles.
Yeah , so 95% with looms + rested xp =gg
