Best feeling in the world

I know I can not speak for the general druid healing populous but leveling as a Resto is one experience that humbles you. I usually play through RPG's as the "bad guy", you know when you get to chose if you want some one to live or die and you elect the more popular cut his head off and piss down his throat option. But for some reason I did not want to go down this path, I wanted to help people, try out a concept called being nice.

So the decision was made at level 10 that I am going to heal and clicked my first talent skill away. I noticed as I was leveling that I could not damage shit, so this caused me to quickly befriend people with the good old "you hack and slash and I will keep you alive" technique. I made some of my best in game friends this way, and would not have done it any other way.

As the levels went on I started to hone in on my healing abilities, becoming more aware of not only what my role was, but the roles of every other class and talent build. I soon took a leadership position in my Guild, being the "superior healer" of the lot. That guild fell apart and I was left guildless, so I joined my friends guild. At this point I was in the Outlands trying to reach 70 and found myself frequently healing for PUG's. I know /gasp a PUG, but I had a fairly successful time healing these groups.

Then it started to happen, every time I would heal for a PUG I would get invited into their guild, them telling me that I was one of the best healers they have ever had. I was shocked the first time it happened and I talked to one of my real life friends about this who happens to be on the same server as me. He told me that I was the best healer he has had too, and this further shocked me because he was running Gruuls.

I sat around wondering how this happened but then I realized something, the reason why I can heal the way I do is due to all my experience leveling as a healer. Most players will respec from a DPS class to a healing role at 70, and it becomes an entirely different game for them. While I can just sit around and do the same thing I have done my whole WoW career (crack open a beer, relax and heal).

I have also spent time messing around with alts of all classes to gain a better knowledge of them and I recommend this to everyone who is not sure of what everybody's role is.
