Never thought I'd say this... mostly because I am strictly a "DPS" kind of person, but healing people is actually a pretty fun aspect of the game. I always thought that you had to be a certain kind of person to be a healer and enjoy it.
I have a Hunter for my main and while it is very fulfilling, just dpsing away seems to have left me in a void for the past month. So I decided to roll a Priest in hopes that I could see WoW from a different perspective.
After much reading up on the class and being very confused with what stats are important for what spec and why, I decided to level up as the Shadow spec (for mainly fast leveling). I understood that a healing priest is more needed in most cases so I always added in my comment that I was shadow, but willing to heal. At level 65 or so I respecced to Disc. I find the aspect of mitigating damage and putting people in protective bubbles interesting. To say the least, I found Penance an awesome spell! I would sit in Org and just Penance people walking by out of boredom.
I stayed Disc until level 68 when I got to Northrend. I have to say that I liked seeing those crit heals as much as I like seeing all 3 ticks of Explosive Shot crit. I respecced Shadow for faster leveling. Sitting at 76 now and I can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The level where I will respec back to being a healer again and throwin them balls of crit heals at my party/raid members!
I'm glad that these forums are here. I've learned a ton from everyone.
What made you decide to roll a Priest?
*edit* Forgot to add the question that I made the post for.
