PvP healing help

[Skelux-kazzak]

Hi guys,

Just reaching out for some tips and tricks with regards to healing in PvP as I fancy giving it a go, however im getting incredibly frustrated how bad I am at it

As a newbie to healing im obviously finding it really difficult, especially when getting bursted down I just cant seem to figure out what spells to cast to survive the amount of damage classes are putting out, especially when im stun locked, silenced etc etc I just feel pretty useless most games, but im obviously the issue as ive been against healer priests that dont seem to die

My random team mates must be raging at me after these skirmishes im practicing but i simply just dont get it

Is there any decent guides/videos that I can be referred to? I dont want to throw the towel in so early as its quite fun in random BGs but that feels more like a button spam for me which makes me a fraud!

Also might be worth asking if there is a preferred preference between disc and holy? As i probably dont have that figured out yet, i avoided disc because I wanted my focus to be just healing and felt like that was more relying on damage

I understand there are so many spells and abilitys for priest so I think ive chosen a difficult class but id like to at least start with the basics then build on it, problem is I just dont understand the basics at moment and im dying too easily.

Anything to help guys, ANYTHING

I would say go Holy as a starter since Disc is a bit complicated in terms of keeping people alive.

Holy is fairly straightforward with flash heal, heals and serenity being the main abilities to look out for.

Keep dotting everyone for some DPS output, and cast Smite → Holyfire if possible.

Ofc there are other abilities but these are the basics. I’d recommend you to start practicing in dungeons first for getting the hang of it and then move on from there.

And later, if you wanna up your game, try Disc since its really fun if you master it

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Disc is an agressive playstyle, on pressure you can damage and heal with your rotation schism. Imo Disc is just stronger and more difficult then Holy.

Not anymore! That is the thing only on 2s. In other brackets the damage is so high, that you cannot waste time on dealing damage yourself. Many of the top priests don’t even take schism and mind games for that reason, and when they do you often see them not using it.

Right now disc is all about rotating defensive cooldowns, good positioning, and offensive dispells.
