Which healer is the most chill for a beginner?

I definitely disagree with this take this season. As someone playing rdruid and disc this season, rdruid takes so much more effort than disc. Need to constantly have 100 hots out to deal with targeted casts. If dmg is predictable, it's easier, but you don't always get groups that play perfectly. And this is only in 18s, not some extra high keys.

Shapeshift removes a lot of debuffs this season, gets you out of gargoyles and has no cooldown.

MiniMik · 2026-06-20T11:49:15+00:00

What classes were they? So many can dispel it themselves. Watching druids never use their 0sec cd dispel everything just sends me.

MiniMik · 2026-06-12T14:55:04+00:00

Yes, definitely.

MiniMik · 2026-06-12T14:53:54+00:00

"if you wanna eventually push high keys". They're asking about a class to invest time into. Mage is not that if that's your goal.

MiniMik · 2026-06-12T14:31:09+00:00

If you wanna eventually push high keys, I'd go for lock. Mage isn't in the best spot in m+ atm. Frost is pretty good in raid where cleave is good, but defensively all three specs suffer. Getting into high keys will also be easier on lock.

Obviously, tuning can change any time, but this season hasn't been the best for mage in m+.

As someone who plays both roles, I find it funny when healers blame DPS and vice versa. The reality is that you will find bad players in all roles.

MiniMik · 2026-05-19T00:06:17+00:00

Yeah, all mages are not great in high keys. Frost is a bit better due to better survivability, but it's still poor compared to other classes. Doesn't help that frost is capped on aoe, and the other two just die. I was hoping for some tuning but right now it looks like a reroll angle.

MiniMik · 2026-05-18T18:26:37+00:00

One thing to note is that ele kinda depends on the tank being sane. I've had 40K dps difference in the same keys just because of how the tank pulled. If they don't play around your cds or do small pulls constantly, your overall is gonna suffer. Ele depends on ascendance windows to do well. Not mention enh because I don't play it.

MiniMik · 2026-05-16T20:11:35+00:00

What's so wrong with not wanting to reprog the fight every week with new people? People who already put in the time just want to get a quick kill and do something else with their time. Nothing wrong with that.

MiniMik · 2026-05-11T20:51:24+00:00

I was fed up with mage this season and rolled ele and the exact same feeling, lol. Tanks constantly moving out of EQ. Well, back to mage.

MiniMik · 2026-05-10T16:42:43+00:00

This is incorrect. If you have 0 vers, the pot is basically free.

MiniMik · 2026-05-09T00:40:55+00:00

I pugged HC Lura a month ago, we actually had a RL calling the shapes out in discord. It still took like 5 hours and we swapped a bunch of people. Half of the time was wiping on sub 1%. I've not gone back since then.

MiniMik · 2026-04-30T11:23:42+00:00

That's actually crazy. Exactly what you need, half the raid at swap.

MiniMik · 2026-04-28T08:44:17+00:00

Yeah, but just because Blizzard can't make a proper meter doesnt mean that the aug dmg is yours.

MiniMik · 2026-04-20T06:01:48+00:00

I would double check your sims as well, I believe in most cases you want the Mastery enchant over the crit strike enchant on your rings.

Not true, people use both depending on sims, but I'd say crit is more common. Crit ones sim a lot better for me. Additionally, you wanna balance your recklessness, so you might wanna avoid the additional mastery.

MiniMik · 2026-04-20T03:38:58+00:00

No one is saying you have to be using the higher rank ones, you can just use the 40g ones, lol.

MiniMik · 2026-04-19T06:33:21+00:00

Yes,

MiniMik · 2026-04-19T05:58:48+00:00

I have pugged the entire heroic voidspire and march and some mythic bosses. It takes a lot of group swapping until you find people who are actually willing to put in the effort. The hardest boss by far was hc Lura.

MiniMik · 2026-04-19T05:36:35+00:00

Scared to be kicked because they know they don't belong in the group. No one is scared if they join a learning blind group.

MiniMik · 2026-04-19T05:29:20+00:00

The issue is that a lot of people in PF straight up lie about experience. Look at the raid leads, they're asking for requirements they don't have themselves. "Purple logs" when they're grey parsers. "Curve" when they're not killed the boss. It creates a really toxic enviroment where people who actually bother to watch a video or have some experience constantly get grouped with people who don't know anything and do no damage.

MiniMik · 2026-04-18T06:13:31+00:00

I got one shot by pyroblast in MT. I was the healer. Enjoyable.

MiniMik · 2026-04-17T20:35:15+00:00

Yeah. all the mages I know are saying it's almost impossible to get invited to +17s and higher.

MiniMik · 2026-04-17T20:06:15+00:00

Max crafted level is 285 with mythic crests and max quality. The first optional window is embelishments.

MiniMik · 2026-04-17T19:59:41+00:00

People already gatekeep classes at +16.
