There are some great healers that you can use in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. If you know how to play them properly, every healer in the game can be beneficial to a group. The latest patch for WoW: Dragonflight has been released, and this is the final big patch before the next expansion comes out.
These are the best healers you can play in WoW: Dragonflight season 4.
For more Dragonflight tier lists, check out the following:
S Tier – Restoration Druid
Restoration Druid has taken the top spot, with Discipline Priest dropping quite significantly in the rankings. Despite the fact that they received a 5% healing nerf, they are still the best healing spec that you can pick in the game right now. Additionally, their tier set from season three is still sticking around with no changes.
Resto Druids have always been consistent and had fairly strong healing, but they are best known for the fact that they can heal and deal an impressive amount of damage at the same time. On top of that, they have some of the best resistances in the game and are fairly tanky compared to some of the other healers on this list. For that reason alone, it makes them one of the best healers you can pick to bring with you in group content.
Whether we will see them get further nerfs or maybe some buffs towards the end of the season is unknown, but we can only hope that they stay as strong as they are right now.
S Tier – Holy Priest
Taking the top Priest spot from Discipline Priest, the Holy Priest has barged in and is now even more successful and useful than the Disc Priest. From their rework in 10.2.6, they haven’t received any further changes to their stats, and their tier set remains unchanged. However, the rework really did them a number of favors, and now they are once again one of the strongest healers you can take onto the battlefield.
Whether you are doing high or low keys, Holy Priests can remain strong and have some fantastic healing, whether or not your team comp is ideal.
A Tier – Mistweaver Monk
Mistweaver Monk is staying put in the A tier. Despite receiving a 6% nerf in the last patch, they have now received a 13% nerf to their healing on all of their abilities going into season 4. They will also be keeping their tier-set from season 3, and that remains unchanged.
Despite that, the Mistweaver Monk is still more than capable, and they have some strong healing that they can utilize in group content. If you’re going into a group where you don’t know any of the other players, a Mistweaver Monk is one of the safest picks you can take, as you always know what you’ll get by bringing one of them with you.
A Tier – Discipline Priest
Unfortunately, the reign of the Discipline Priest has ended, and they have now dropped into the A tier. Don’t let that deter you from playing one, though. Despite the changes they’ve received for this season, they are still incredibly useful. Their Atonement now does 35% of damage to healing rather than the 40% it was doing previously. However, healing outside of raids has now been boosted to a healthy 70% from the previous 50% it was in the last season.
Because they get to keep their tier-set from the previous season, they are on track to continue steamrolling as they once were. While there are better healers than the Discipline Priest, that doesn’t mean that the Disc Priest isn’t a huge asset in Mythic+. The biggest drawback for a Disc Priest is high mobility encounters, as it can affect their ability to cast abilities such as Smite.
A Tier – Preservation Evoker
Jumping up ever so slightly, the Preservation Evoker is in a better boat than it was in the previous season. They’ve received a nice buff to their season 1 tier set, and their performance overall is significantly better in this season already. Their utility is already fantastic, but now they can boast a healthy damage profile to go along with it, making them incredibly useful as a team member.
While the meta suggests that Preservation Evokers will suffer this season, they still have access to one of the most overpowered legendaries of all time, allowing for a great burst for the entire team. Their damage output and healing are fantastic, but they lack ever so slightly, meaning they don’t get to have the S-tier spot.
C Tier – Holy Paladin
Unfortunately, the Holy Paladin is not doing well this season. They received a buff to their season 2 tier set, which will give them a little boost. However, they are in one of the worst spots for this season, which they’ve been in for a while. Across all healers, the Holy Paladin has some of the worst healing outputs that you can see right now.
However, the Holy Paladin is a great choice if you need utility instead of healing! Compared to the rest of the healers on this list, the Holy Paladin has one of the best utility kits out there. On top of that, if you find that you need someone else to control the mobs other than the tank, the Holy Paladin is the next best choice.
Unfortunately, that isn’t enough to make them a hugely viable pick, as their damage and healing output are just incredibly lackluster. We can only hope they will be tweaked, and we can see them rise to the top later in the season.
C Tier – Restoration Shaman
At the bottom, we have the Restoration Shaman, where they sat in the last tier list. Not much has changed, except they’ve now received a 5% nerf to all of their healing done. Compared to the other healers on this list, this puts them in a significantly worse spot than they were already in. Considering that Resto Shamans were considered one of the best because of their healing capabilities, there are now not enough redeeming factors to make it worth bringing a Resto Shaman along.
The only benefit right now for the Restoration Shaman is their utility package, especially with the usage of Bloodlust and totems. Other than that, though, they don’t really have much going for them.
This season’s patch has been the harshest on the healers out of all the classes in the game. We can only hope to see some buffs to some of our other favorite healers on this list, but we have no idea what will come at the end of the patch.
