Which Healer Should You Play in Dragonflight?
This tier list for healers in Dragonflight Mythic+ is a work in progress and will be updated as necessary throughout the season. The list is based on the performance of healers in Mythic+ dungeons and takes into account factors such as HPS and DPS output, external cooldowns, utility, durability, and mobility.
Although this list is based on Mythics, it can be applied just the same to pve content
It is important to note that opinions may vary and that this list should not discourage players from playing the class they enjoy the most. The list is intended to help the WoW community make informed decisions about which class to play as their main or alt in the upcoming season.

S-Tier:
- Restoration Druid
