Healer twinking guide " This page is a general guide for low - level Twink for the purpose for healing team members in a battleground . Class - specific tips can be found in related links . " Twink s are player characters who have gained the most powerful gear for their level . A good healer can turn the tide of any Battleground and have a lot of fun while keeping themselves , and their allies , alive . This guide mainly focuses on lvl 19 and 29 twinking . General pointers for healers . Your intellect and spirit are the best stats in 5 . 4 as intellect provides spell power and crit and spirit provides mana regeneration . Gear up to have a good survivability and place yourself high on the ' heal priority ' list . Be aware you will tend to pull a lot of aggro , both in and out combat . Hunters will always pick you , rogues will always chase you . Keep moving seems the advice , making priests and druids a nice pick . Always cast Renew and Shield on high health targets while focusing your heals on low health targets , shielding low health targets is top priority before using any heal ( This is if you are priest . ) Stick with the group . Sometimes your group does not tend to stick together . In both cases , identify if you have any tank . If no warrior paladin or druid around , this even might be a twink rogue . A tank - healer combo + some ( ranged ) DPS can be very effective in Battlegrounds ( BG ' s ) . The concept of ' tank ' is not limited to PvE ! Non - healers : stick with your healer . Make sure you know where he / she is and don ' t rush out of range expecting heals without your healer needing to maneuver in a dangerous position . Any class with a heal button , whether healing spec ' ed or not , must consider themselves a healer . Having a heal - mod / heal - addon installed will make life easier and help you identify friendly targets that are in need of a heal . So does pressing SHIFT - V ( default mapping - View Friendly Health Bar ) in lots of cases . Choosing your class . Depending on your playstyle ( healing - only or hybrid DPS / heal , melee or ranged etc . ) and talent tree you can pick almost any class you like , there is no class ' superior ' above another , any healing class can have very good performance in a BG . Choosing your professions . Some professions offer buffs and unique items . Maximum skill is capped by level : 150 for lvl19 , 225 for lvl29 . Here are some that may interest a twink : Engineering . Various items from engineering are very useful , both gear and consumable items ( bombs ) . Engineering is considered a basic skill for twinks and is very recommended . Gnomes have a + 15 engineering bonus , allowing craft / use of items up to engineering skill 240 ( at level 29 ) , unfortunately the gnome race provides no healing classes . Lvl29 : Gathering Professions . Gathering professions give a unique spell or buff : First Aid . Despite being a healer , sometimes a bandage is a better option ( such as when you ' re out of mana ! ) . Always keep a good stock of bandages for yourself or others . Level your First Aid skill to the maximum of 225 . Fishing . Although fishing has no direct use for a twink , items acquired from it may be the best . Every Sunday startng 14 : 00 is the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza in Stranglethorn Vale . Catching a rare fish during the extravaganza will reward items like or that have a very good stamina attribute and the boots are enchantable with TBC enchants . See Fishbot 5000 for details on this quest . Items that are of use . In general , the PvP rewards from WSG and AB are the best of its kind at this level . Focus your attention for gear on the items that are not rewarded . As healer , consider mana regeneration ( spirit / int / stamina gear ) . Dark Rune - Returns ( a LOT of ) mana in trade of some health . Very nice if you have a spare ( unattended ) second . Heal yourself after use ( if it doesn ' t crit ) . Drops a lot in Scholomance . Furbolg Form - Confuses the opponent and is a purgable buff . Ow , and its just fun too . Quest chain is soloable at ~ lvl25 . Enchants . Mystic Spellthread / Runic Spellthread - Silver Spellthread Golden Spellthread - Spellpower / healbonus and good stamina buff . Some people may even prefer the stamina of Clefthide Leg Armor but this is not recommended , since there are other ways to obtain stamina , but it ' s not easy to obtain a high spellpower / healbonus without the spellthread . Make note that this enchant cannot be applied on BoP items . Therefore , twinks will almost always have pants that are BoE . Keep your eyes open for such items on the auction hall . There are few items ingame that are ' levelless ' . They ( almost ? ) always are quest rewards . Such gear allows enchanting of any kind , ignoring the lvl35 requirement that was introduced with TBC enchants . For level 29 there are a number of interesting items : Instances . You can find a group for your desired instance through the Dungeon Finder , however you may have to roll against other players for drops . Make sure to check drops beforehand , or install AtlasLoot . Very Limited use : Shadowfang keep and Blackfathom Deeps . Healer Addons . Original BGHealer Battlefield Commander
