What's the current state of Healers on Uth right now? From the class population chart that Blue posted, it looks like there's an AWFUL lot of them out there... Are they still needed regularly, or do you Healers find yourself sitting around LFG a lot?

What spec is most needed for both leveling and RvR at 50? I don't wanna play tri-spec... I wanna be either full Pac/Mend or Aug/Mend. In the current Uth landscape, what's the most sought after spec by exp groups, and what's the most sought after by RvR groups?

Aug healers seem to be harder to find, and during American hours, there's hardly any. You'll be grouped consistently and constantly if you choose to play one.

Very interesting to hear (not what I expected)

Thanks a lot for the info!

I have been getting rvr groups since level 43 on my pac healer. That's how bad they're needed for NA time. A lot switch to Aug at 40 so they don't have the pressure of being main cc in RvR so I think Aug is more common in NA primetime.

This is actually exactly what I was predicting...

I'm a US player, so perhaps I'll consider Pac a lil more closely. What is the demand for Healers like in general during NA time? Will I find myself sitting around LFG a lot (both leveling and RvR)?

It's usually easier to find a Pac than Aug. That said, a Pac healer can be replaced with an Aug who can target mezz and hold a couple PoM potions, at least for PvE

Yes, you are correct, I should have specified RvR. PvE you will still get groups as a pac healer but depending on the setup, Aug has a higher demand. However, you won't be waiting around for long. I had no issues getting a group in pve but was turned down a few times for not being Aug.

You should ask yourself the question, do I want to drive in RvR or not?

Pac Healer should drive, imo.

is tri-spec played in RvR or PvE?

Healer is second most played class, however since most groups now prefer 3 of them, 2 pac 1 aug you really need a lot of them.
Cant go wrong with healer! Aughealer probably least played spec

Or farming cave shammys...but is better to spread false rumors

I large portion of people rolled a shaman first, don't even need to be cave btw, to be able to gear their main character(s).

I'm part of those people, and it was annoying at the beginning of server since it was impossible to get a group as a shaman due to overpopulation.
