I was wondering how likely it will be to do a lot of the cata raids with only 2 healers. Our 10m guild for cata can have a 3rd healer if we need, but was wondering how hard this would be? Obviously 2 healing stuff will be harder, but will the extra dps make the encounters easier? We are considering using a holydin and a tree. The paladin could use a priest instead, but I think a pally would be a better fit if we are going to be 2 healing. Thoughts?
Considering that Blizzard stated a while ago that the "Enrage" of an encounter would basically be the healer's mana pool, I would probably go with three healers.
Not to say you can't do it with two, but as it stands, I doubt any of the normal fights would require that extra DPS to beat an enrage.
its going to be like ICC HM when people weren't geared. Some fights require two but a third is extremely helpful, and then some fights you WILL need three. Did a few cata raids yesterday with full geared group , and we 2 healed all the fights. some we had trouble on and some were easy. druid heals ftw
