I played a Human Paladin for Vanilla and absolutely fell in love with healing. I healed MC, BWL, AQ20, AQ40, and up to 4H in Naxx. I loved everything about Paladins. But in the back of my head I always wanted to play Priest. Over the last 13 years I've never actually played a Priest. And with Classic announced. I'm throwing the idea around of leveling a priest with the intention of healing in raiding.
My question for you Priest that played in Vanilla and hopefully raided. What were the things that made Priest fun for healing? Or was it a very boring class to heal with? Was your healing similar to Paladin in the regard of having to mix multiple spell ranks on your bars and having to determine on the fly how big of heals needed to passed out. Or was it just spam two heals for the entirety of the raid? What things did you hate about your priest? What was the lvling experience like? Was it difficult finding raid positions? At max lvl could you still grind very well with a holy spec or no?
Thank you very much for your time. And I appreciate anyone taking the time to speak on the matter <3
