Hey guys,
I am looking to start a toon but I want to be a healer. Anyone got any advice? Such as which class and race are best to go? What build etc....
Thanks in advance
Nick

Answers will vary because different people like different play styles. You will have to play them so you know which you like.
I personally played all but a resto Druid. I'm just not found of their HoT style of healing. My main healer was a resto shaman, which I loved playing as. They were like the middle of the road, did good at AoE healing as well as direct heals.
Things might have changed since cata, but ultimately you will have to play them and find what's suites you best.

I'd enjoy more AoE healing i think. Is the shaman the best class for AoE or is there a better option?

Shaman have been good in the past for aoe healing, not sure about now. I can tell you that I have been playing a holy priest since vanilla but have been disappointed with it this expansion and i'm currently discipline spec.

There is only one true healer and its Human Holy Priest.
Shocking Gnomes & Goblins gets my vote.. for a healer race.
Edit.. ops i left another race out. I tested out on MoP beta a undead priest... she looked imba
Priest was rather good fun... I like the style of Druid healing over Priest i think.

I agree, with Tush
The Human Spirit
makes Humans best end game raid healers. Well it was much better before it got nerfed to 3% spirit. Other one would be Gnome Priest
Expansive Mind
which got big nerf from 5% int to 5% bigger mana pool. Its nice that Blizz nerfs every Alliance race and no Horde races (expect Tauren). Also Draeneis
Gift of the Naaru
is a good extra heal.
There isnt so many good healing racials on Horde (only Trolls
Berserking
is good but not as good as Alliance ones) which makes Allinaces the best healers (in theory).
My post was
light-hearted
fun about the class i prefer the look of.. hence:
Gnomes
-
Goblins
-
Undead
My take on the subject.. about racial abilities:
I never play a race because of racial ability, i choose to play a race because i prefer the look of over another.
If you happen to be doing End game raiding, then your skills will be enough to make the difference over a couple of stats / racial ability. Raid content is designed so every class & race can be used. But sometimes they can give a edge over another... 10man content more so then 25man, since you have less players to get a balance between what you need to defeat the encounter. Every raid encounter will differ on the mechanics... some racial abilities work better then others.
Human....
The Human Spirit
Only in pvp (Arena) you truly notice the difference.. since every extra stat will make or break if skill level is equal on both sides. Depending on team setups.
Also, same can be said about
Will to Survive
.. "sigh" Gives more flexibility, between what trinkets you would prefer to use, also has 2minute cooldown. . Most OP racial ever. So in essence you're correct... about Humans.
