Introduction
Hey, I am Dana, I’m a multi class healer mostly playing Preservation Evoker, Mistweaver Monk and Priest. I am an analyst for Method and GM of the 2-day (strictly 6 hour) guild Drama on Tarren Mill. The guild has seen a steady incline in ranks, since being created in the first tier of Dragonflight, finishing our last tier around wr300.
Holy Priest
Holy Priest brings a lot of sustained healing throughput and can spot heal very well thanks to their Holy Words and Lightweaver. Their DPS is good, with easy-to-maintain spells and Power Infusion. It is slightly behind the other healers when it comes to defensives, but you can make some of this up by respecting mechanics and prepositioning in time. It brings a lot of good raid cd’s in Symbol of Hope and Divine Hymn.
For more information and active theorycrafting, the Priest discord is a really helpful resource and a good platform for information, discussion, and questions:
