Healing Classes in World of Warcraft

There are 4 key healing classes in World of Warcraft fighting games : Priests, Shamans, Paladins, and Druids.

Let's look first, at the priest class. Priests include 2 talent trees to select from for healing. The first is the discipline tree and is used mostly for tank healing (even though it can be a very good choice for raid healing depending on the circumstances). They rely chiefly on mitigating damage through the use of instant cast shields. The second tree is the holy tree and whereas they can do very well as a tank healer, they are first and foremost used for raid healing. This tree allows for incredible group heals though 2 spells called circle of healing and prayer of healing.

The second faction of healers is shamans. They only have one tree devoted to healing and that is the restoration tree. These healers are competent tank healers but are used largely for raid healing due to some exclusive talents. The first of which is called chain heal and is a "smart heal" in the sense that it by design targets the lowest level players inside a certain radius. Shamans are greatly sot after in raids due to Heroism (alliance) or Bloodlust (horde).

Next are paladins. Again, they only have one talent tree committed to healing and that is the holy tree. These are straight tank healers due to their incapability to raid heal. However, paladins can often heal 2 tanks at the same time quite successfully due to a spell called Beacon of light which basically allows you to target and heal one person (tank) while automatically healing the other for 50% of the total healed.

The last class capable of healing is druids. Known as healing over time (HoTs) healers, they flourish as raid healers because they can effortlessly keep a raid healed through a lot of damage over time (DoTs). One of their main spells is wild growth which is another smart heal targeting up to 5 raid members inside a certain radius and casting a HoT on them.

Keep in mind that all these classes shooting games boast their uses and are necessary for different fights. All healers can, in certain situations, repeal their roles and become a tank/raid healer.

Warcraft why Woman Love it

Escapism Through Roleplaying
A woman can log on as a lithe night elf or a buxom human and get an instant make over with the click of a button. Just as men want to be all-powerful gods, women want to be goddesses, and just as powerful. WOW enables women to mind port away from responsibilities, household or otherwise, and exist in a different time and place. Besides, what female wouldn't want traverse to a land where scantily clad barbarian men strolling through town is the norm?

Partners with Men Gamers
Many women play because their partners do. WOW can be a shared diversion for a couple because physical ability isn't a barrier, as is the case with many other leisure activities. Indeed, I have personally witnessed a sister gamer being cheered on by her male counterpart when she was the last man standing (or more accurately last woman standing) in a bloody battle to the death. Pick up any book on healthy relationships and spending time together is usually near the top of the list. It's a good thing that more and more women are entering the online arena with their partners. Most MMOG's do require a decent investment in time and it is definitely a positive thing if that investment can be a shared one.

It's FUN!!
Yes, it could just be as simple as that. Women play WOW because it is pleasurable to do so. Some women like to read, some women like to play games tennis and some women like to dole out damage that facilitates a better understanding of the anatomical workings of a dragon's entrails. To each her own, I say.

Real women do play World of Warcraft shooting games. So the next time you come across a badass shadow priest calling forth the powers of darkness to aid in her epic battle, don't assume it's a 'Mangina.' (I'll leave you to decipher that colloquialism on your own). I believe the slogan for Womengamers.com sums it up the best, look out boys, 'because women DO play'!
