Return of Reckoning

I would like to play a healer...

But there is a lot of pressure to be a good healer.. ESPECIALLY for RVR / PVP..
That is just something I don't want to have on me to be honest.

Is there a healer class that you sort of can play that maybe tosses out More AOE heals then the other Healing classes, if that makes sense.

RoR.builders - Runepriest RoR.builders - Zealot

Ritual Of Lunacy/Rune Of Adamant (aoe heal aura) Passively has a chance to proc 3/4 Tactics and all of those 3 tactics are must.

+1 RP/ZL are very simple and pretty much just want to spam group heal

That explains why most rp and zel are such great healers...

If you want to play a more or less pure aoe healer play a dok or a wp.

What are you even trying to say? Zealot is by far the simplest healer on destro to play(and i guess rp too), the other posters are right.

All healer classes are in my opinion simple to play. The only thing i wanted to say is if anyone is playing the rp/zel as a aoe spam healer they are doing something wrong.

Every rp/zel i see in sc's spam group heal aka fluff heals. It just makes their heal nums look good but, you can't rely on them to direct heal with INSTANT cast to keep someone who is almost dead from dieing. Because their group heal takes 2 sec to cast and by that time lots of stuff can be dead. They do have plenty of direct heals but they dont use them like they should.

Is not playing well now a metric to judge heal classes?

Ok fair enough, but I still think that zealot is the easiest one to play well.
Also personally I strongly disagree that all healers are easy to play, imo heal shammy is the hardest class to play on top level (and i mean across all classes I played, not just healers). Unless you have cd reduction, which in my experience is pretty rare. But i guess we can agree to disagree on that ;p

You do understand that those numbers are the amount restored not the amount overhealed correct? Those so called "fluff" heals are usually the zeal/rp procing their laundry list of tactics on the party and maintaining a solid baseline of health for the party to work with. If you are dieing in under 2 seconds then you have other issues then a healer's cast time to worry about, namely why your tanks aren't guarding and challenging to smooth out the damage curve.
