Already nerfed into being unplayable. Ty blizz
There notes on this?
They received several buffs actually. But the S2 4pc bonus is trash.
How is it trash? And where are the patch notes on this nerf?
There are no patch notes showing Holy Paladin being nerfed since the start of 12.1, at least for PvE healing.
Current PTR tuning actually buffs overall healing by 8%, Holy Shock by 10%, Word of Glory/Eternal Flame, Beacon-related talents and several weaker healing talents. The main healing nerf is Avenging Crusader’s damage-to-healing conversion dropping from 80% to 55%, while the new tier set also makes Holy Light more mana-expensive. Overall, though, the 12.1 PvE changes are a net healing buff.
If the claim is simply “Holy Paladins got nerfed in 12.1”, I don’t think the published changes support it. A particular build/playstyle may be nerfed, especially Avenging Crusader, but PvE Holy Paladin as a whole is currently being buffed, not nerfed.
My holy pally melee wings do significantly higher damage so the nerf to AC’s healing is just inline with the damage increase to not make us too op. My heals feel at least as strong as they were before. If this is a nerf then let the nerfs keep rolling in.
I don’t think H.Pal has been this fun since the last time they OP’d the spec in DF. Hopefully we get more than a month this time before they crush it into oblivion again.
He’s probably referring to the 5% healing pre-season PvP nerf and the 4% healing week 1 PvP nerf. 2/4Set are the only thing keeping PvP Paladins afloat IMO. PvE hpally feels amazing, I never really care about how good healers are in PvE unless I notice some stupid monk backflip kicking a boss for x2 my heals, but I’m currently doing 14’s and 15’s and I have 0 issues healing anyone.
Oh, that would make more sense. Almost feel like posts should all have a PvP or PvE tag at the start, because this happens a lot.
