The War Within 11.2 Healers Tier List (Raid, M+ & Trinket)

As we enter Season 3 of The War Within, healers are experiencing some of the most diverse—and polarizing—balance changes to date. Whether you're looking for the War Within 11.2 best raid and M+, healers, this TWW Season 3 healers tier list breaks down the meta.

The War Within 11.2 Best Healer - TWW Season 3 Healer Tier List

A good healer is essential in The War Within because the content in Season 3—especially high Mythic+ keys and raid encounters—features intense group-wide damage, frequent burst mechanics, and complex movement phases that challenge both reaction time and healing efficiency. Without a skilled healer, groups risk frequent wipes from missed cooldowns, failed dispels, or unhealed burst damage. Healers also bring vital utility like combat resurrections, dispels, damage reduction cooldowns, and sometimes even DPS contributions.  Next, let's check the War Within 11.2 Mythic+ healer tier list, raid healer tier list, and healer trinkets tier list, so you can pick the right spec, gear, and playstyle for your goals.

TWW 11.2 M+ Healer Tier List

This TWW Season 3 M+ healer tier list is designed to help players pick a healer that matches their goals, time, and effort level. Whether you're looking for a highly efficient chill healer like Totemic Resto Shaman or a burst damage enabler like Discipline Priest, there's something for everyone.

S Tier

• Restoration Shaman

  Totemic Resto Shaman offers incredibly passive, low-APM healing through powerful totems, great group utility, and a slow, manageable pace, making it the easiest and most effective healer for long, stress-free dungeon sessions.

• Discipline Priest

  Oracle Discipline Priest brings excellent shielding and mitigation with minimal need for interrupts or complex setups, providing strong throughput in high keys while staying easy to play and highly effective in pugs.

A Tier

• Holy Priest

  Oracle Holy Priest is easy to play and forgiving, with a simple, reactive healing style, though it lacks utility and shines more in raids than in Mythic+, making it great for beginners but slightly less optimal overall.

• Holy Paladin

  Depending on the build, Holy Paladin can feel smooth and potent with strong utility and burst healing, but inconsistency between builds and current bugs keep it from reaching S Tier status despite strong potential.

B Tier

• Mistweaver Monk

  Mistweaver pumps high healing numbers but demands constant melee presence, fast reflexes, and intense APM, making it exhausting to play for long sessions despite its strength in skilled hands.

• Restoration Druid

  Wildstalker Resto Druid offers strong healing through proactive HoTs and damage weaving, but its complexity and fast-paced rotation make it tiring over time and not ideal for chill dungeon runs.

C Tier

• Preservation Evoker

  Chronoward Pres Evoker has strong theoretical potential, but its steep learning curve, punishing errors, and high setup requirements make it unreliable and overly difficult for most M+ scenarios this season.

TWW 11.2 Healer Trinket Tier List

Here’s a full analysis and breakdown of the War Within Season 3 Healer Trinket Tier List based on Rag’s PTR testing and impressions. He classifies healer trinkets into six tiers: Goated, Good, Mid, Delve, Garbage, and Dumpster—ranging from must-use BiS to delete-on-sight. Here's what each tier means and which trinkets belong there:

S Tier

• Lumathar’s Living Silk
  An absorb-based trinket that’s absolutely broken. Provides huge shields on a 90-second cooldown. Every healer is using it on PTR. Likely to be BiS unless nerfed.

• Diamantine Void Core
  

• Synergizes with the raid weapon for main stat procs. Even though the mana threshold effect is hard to trigger, the frequent stat uptime and synergy make it top-tier.
  

• Celia’s Secret Technique
  A boring but excellent stat-stick. Lets you copy an ally’s highest secondary stat and slightly boost it. Reliable and versatile.
  

A Tier

• Essence Hunter’s Eyeglass
  Provides crit that stacks easily. Was nerfed but still strong early season.
  

• Empowering Crystal
  Gives random secondaries. Can be great if you benefit from most stats (e.g., Disc Priest), but risky for classes like Resto Shaman.

• Bursting Light Shard
  

• Damage-focused trinket that’s strong if micromanaged. Performs well in sustained fights.
  

• Ara’s Sack Brood
  A returning favorite from Season 1. Not testable yet but likely strong again. Slightly nerfed but still competitive.

B Tier

• Incorporeal Essence Gorgger
  Poor man’s Sign of the Priaryy. Unreliable stat allocation, and often gives you bad stats.

• Voidtouched Fragment
  Gimmicky mastery burst after picking up 15 orbs. Useless on bosses and situational at best.

• Arz’s Ritual Forge
  Big main stat on-use at a cost. Too inconsistent for M+ but might shine in raids.

• Sign of the Priaryy
  Two-minute stat-on-use trinket. Doesn’t stand out among the many good options.

• Azakarian Parapodia
  Has stacking main stat mites but stacks don’t refresh. Might be okay with more testing.

• Lily of the Eternal Weave
  A standard mastery proc trinket. Just okay. Slightly worse version of House of Cards.

C Tier

• Depleted Keshi Battery:
  Damage-only trinket, which is bad for healers.

• Foot Bomb Dispenser
  

• Soulbreaker Sigil

• Miniature Rushy Sand Garden
  All mediocre or weak damage or haste trinkets.

• Twisted Mana Sprite
  Actually decent if enemies take constant damage. Provides absorb shields via overhealing.
  

D Tier

• Manaforged Aether Cell
  Weak mastery proc. Underperforms for healing builds.

• Meraldar’s Toll
  Gives microscopic Vers. Trash.

• Sunblood Amethyst
  Requires you to stand on tiny ground circles. Unusable in real gameplay.

F Tier

• Chaotic Nethergate:
  Weak damage/heal hybrid. Not even mainstated.

• Screams of a Forgotten Sky

• Perfidious Projector

• First Class Healing Distributor

• Medy Chopper (Medifuse Chopper)
  All are underpowered stat-wise or have useless effects.

TWW 11.2 Raid Healer Tier List

This the War Within healer trinket tier list is based on overall performance in raid and Mythic+ content, specifically evaluating trinkets by their raw healing output, consistency, utility (like mana return or defensive effects), synergy with class cooldowns, item level scaling, and early data from logs and PTR testing.

S Tier

Preservation Evoker

Ridiculously strong 4-set bonus, spawning Essence Bombs during burst windows, especially when the raid is stacked. Capable of absurd HPS in short windows (some logs showing up to 90% overhealing).

Mistweaver Monk

Extremely high sustained HPS, flexible toolkit, solid mobility, and strong single-target spot healing. Smooth ramping style without the long downtime seen in Evoker or Disc.

Holy Priest

Oracle spec outputs absurd healing through Prayer of Mending spam, synergizing with multiple talents (Twin Sight, Answered Prayers, etc). Also extremely mana efficient and can sustain output.

A Tier

Restoration Druid

High HPS potential, strong healing profile (especially with Keeper of the Grove for mini-trans), and some burst flexibility.

Discipline Priest

Strong burst ramps with Oracle spec, powerful barriers, and unique preemptive healing model. Improved reach via longer Radiance range.

B Tier

Restoration Shaman

Decent baseline HPS, strong in stacked fights with Totemic + Downpour synergy. Farseer is great in M+.

Holy Paladin

Historically strong in spread healing, brings Devotion Aura, and some emergency tools like Lay on Hands. Two spec options (Herald & Lightsmith).
