Hey guys, what’s up? So, I’ve been grinding away in The War Within’s Season 1, and let me tell you, the Nerub-ar Palace raid is no joke. I’ve been messing around with different healers, trying to figure out what works best. And that’s what I wanna share with you all today – my take on the healer rankings.
First off, I started by diving into some online guides and tier lists. You know, the usual stuff, just to get a general sense of what the community thinks. I saw a lot of talk about “pure healing strength” and “group-added value” – all that jazz. There are a ton of rankings out there for Mythic+, raiding, and PvP, which can be a bit overwhelming, honestly.

Then, I jumped into the game. I started by leveling up a couple of different healers. The first one I tried was a Preservation Evoker. I read somewhere that they have the “highest healing throughput” and also deal a decent amount of damage. And man, they weren’t kidding. These guys can top off health bars super fast, which was pretty sweet. They’ve also got some neat abilities like Time Dilation and Rescue that can really save the day. I felt pretty powerful playing this class, not gonna lie.
Next up, I tried out a Discipline Priest. I heard they have a “complete healing toolkit” and a bunch of different healing options, even some that focus on absorbing damage. And yeah, they were pretty versatile. I spent a good amount of time tinkering with their talents and abilities, experimenting with different playstyles. I liked that they weren’t just about straight-up healing; they could also dish out some damage and had some cool utility spells. I had a lot of fun using Flash Heal on my teammates, that’s for sure.
After playing around with these two, I started comparing them. I thought about things like, “Which one feels stronger in a tough raid encounter?” or “Which one is more fun to play?” And honestly, it’s a tough call. Both the Evoker and the Priest have their strengths and weaknesses. It really depends on your personal preference and what your group needs. I also tried out a few other healers, just to see how they stacked up. Some were okay, some were… not so great. But I really wanted to focus on the two that stood out to me the most.
I spent hours running dungeons and raids, paying close attention to how each healer performed. I took notes on things like how quickly they could heal up a tank, how well they could handle group-wide damage, and how much mana they were using. I also kept an eye on their damage output because, hey, every little bit helps, right? It was a lot of trial and error, a lot of wiping, and a lot of learning. But that’s all part of the fun, isn’t it?
So, after all that, what’s my verdict? Well, it’s tough to say definitively which healer is the “best.” Like I said, it really comes down to your playstyle and what your group needs. But based on my experience, I’d say the Preservation Evoker and the Discipline Priest are both top-tier choices. They’re both strong, versatile, and fun to play. If you’re looking for a healer to main in The War Within, I’d definitely recommend giving them a try.
Here’s a quick rundown of my thoughts:
- Preservation Evoker:
- Pros: Crazy high healing, good damage, cool utility.
- Cons: Can be a bit squishy, might not be for everyone.
- Discipline Priest:
- Pros: Super versatile, good healing and damage, fun to play.
- Cons: Can be a bit complex, might take some time to master.
Anyway, that’s my two cents on the healer rankings in The War Within. I hope this was helpful, or at least somewhat entertaining. Let me know what you guys think, and what your experiences have been. I’m always up for a good discussion about healers! Catch you all in the next one!
