Easy tank or healer classes to learn and use?

[RUSK1O]

I used to play this back 3 years when i was 11 or so, i didnt know what i was doing but somehow i got to level 80 with the help from my brother. Now i dont really like competing for things like damage. Im also a pretty dumb 14 y/o and its a bit teeny weeny hard for me to keep track of abilities. Though when i came back to my lvl 80 ret pala i learned it again pretty easily.


So uh im looking for a tank or a healer thats about as easy or maybe a bit harder than pala to learn. Thanks!

Prot pala is easiest tank to learn. - Pull, consecrate on the ground spam 1-2 buttons, you never lose threat.
Holy pala is easiest healer to learn. - least buttons out of all healers, highest healing in wotlk.

So pala all the way. Its super op and you get away with many things.

hpala probably easiest. You just leave your beacon of light on main tank so they always get your heals. Your best in slot in trinkets are not even from Icecrown Citadel or Ruby Sanctum and you can basically roll for everyones gear. You can get any cloth leather mail or plate caster gear in the game and often times its free of cost. You can get a paladin to high gear score in 2 weeks or less.

Interesting everyone says hpala is the easiest. I found it to be the hardest of the 4 healers, hence why they are in a greater demand.
It isn’t just “beacon and spam holy light”. You need to have a lot more situational awareness as a hpala because you have an vast array of situational spells that needs to be popped at the right moment for the right raid members in respect for the boss mechanics, and you have more responsibility yourself in many boss fights to accomodate that fight.
Not to mention, you have the job of keeping the tank alive, which already adds more stress unless you’re bis and won’t run out of mana.

The easiest Healer to me is shaman. They have very little responsibility in specific fights (meaning there are few boss fights where the shaman has a specific duty). You don’t have to pay as much attention to the needs of specific raid members and the fight mechanics, and virtually only spam the same 3 spells as fast as f****ing possible to heal 23 guys whom themselves try to avoid taking damage.
Simply put: I had far more hot key binds on my hpala than I did on my shaman, and I felt less pressure to perform with precision to be successful.
