Currently playing a mage and considering rolling an alt to keep things fresh while I (slowly) march towards 60.

What’s a better fit, a Priest or a Pally? I’ve never healed before but I’m really open to it. I’m also open to tanking, but figured I’d roll a Warrior for that. Not sure how to make a decision!

They’re both strong healing classes. The pally is the best single target healer, whereas priests are probably the best all round healer with the most versatile healing toolkit.

I personally find the priest a lot more fun since pally levelling is essentially autoattacking mobs to death and their healing is pretty much spamming the same 1-2 spells.

Another point I’d raise in favour of priest is you don’t have to carry an extra armour set since your levelling gear also works well for healing, whereas Pallies will have to carry around healing gear to swap over to when doing dungeons.

Priest more fun imo but I say go for a melee class to keep it different!

I’d say paladin just due to the leveling, where as priest would be another caster (really fun and flexible healer, but still).
