Fury or Temp preferred healer ?

<DIV>for general gameplay and instance  running  . which do you prefer as your primary healer as a guardain . Fury or Templar and  why do you prefer 1 over the other .</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks in advance for your replies.</DIV>

<DIV>In my eyes, Fury brings so much to the table as a healer, they really represent the pinnacle preist class outside raiding. Their damage output can be incredibly high in AoE battles, and their buffs are great for every class in the game (Agitate & Fae Pyre to fighters/scouts, and Ferine Vim & Group Int/Wis buff for casters). And of course, druidic healing is solid.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But, if you want to raid, just don't try without a Templar. Templar > ALL priests for raiding.</DIV> <P>Message Edited by Tyrion on <SPAN class=date_text>01-01-2007</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>02:10 AM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by Tyrion on <span class=date_text>01-01-2007</span> <span class=time_text>02:11 AM</span>

Fury's are solid healers but I prefer a plate healer over them in any situation almost because reactive healing works well with a guardian who is taking hits more than avoiding them like a monk/bruiser. Druids are great healers for the avoidance tanks simply because of the way the mechanics of thier heals work with the tanking style. Overall it really does not make a huge difference because the healers seem to be very well balanced atm. I prefer templar mostly for hp buffs and stoneskin procs, but thats a personal preference.<div></div>

<DIV>The answer to this is I prefer the player.  I have grouped with both.  Furies are very nice for buffs and dmg.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I  have been in there with 2 healers before and could not keep me up( OMG this is why you dont do pick up anything)  and been in there with a pally and or necros and did just fine.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Healers are based on the player imo not the class.  They all are very nice in thier own way.....with different abilities.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

probably fury, because they have the ability to heal,  as well as help on the offensive side with the guardian.

<DIV>In anything but Castle Mistmoore, I'd say Fury, simply because of the overall DPS increase they bring to the group.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Vs the toughest mobs, however, templars--or defilers, which you didn't mention--will serve you better, primarily because of Vigilant Benediction (i.e., stone skin procs.)</DIV>

As a guard this is my opinion:Mystic > Cleric > DruidAnd within that defiler>mystic; templar>Inquis; warden>furyBut thats for fighting tough heroic content like Castle MM, Nek3, Nizara.Doing instances or whatever, I normally run with a conjurer with hydromancy and no priest class.  Water pet is enough heals for a guard in those situations.<div></div>
