Use Raid build for Strikes?

[Brycar.2651]

I have done my first few Strikes and want to get better. I have been looking over Metabattle. They don’t specifically say which builds are well suited for Strikes. But Strikes are training wheels for Raids. So, should I be using Raid builds in Strikes?

People leading will ask for a specific build in LFG. but it will just say Healer or some such. I panic. WHICH ONE?! What kind?!

I play all the professions and elites. So, looking for a general answer not a specific build.

yes use raid builds.

Druid, healbrand, and healren (I've never actually seen a healren show up) are the best heal builds to bring, heal scourge is also usually used in the harder strikes but commanders usually ask for that.

1) Yea, if you have raid builds you can play those for strikes. Strikes are much easier than raids, but the raid builds are most effective for their roles.2) Unless the commander specifies what healer they’re looking for, you can bring basically any healing build. Druid, Renegade, Healbrand, Tempest, Scrapper, etc... Healing Scourge is more focused on providing barrier than actual healing through put, but having one as an off healer can be huge safety net.
