What was the nerf? I didn’t see.

I think he’s referring to this. It was in the patch notes from December.

  • Alter Time is now affected by healing reduction effects, such as dampening.

Also class abilities not just dampening

This is going to truly screw us in PvP though - we’re basically tuned around it, and in 2s (which aren’t meant to be balanced, I know) a double-dps comp as a mage is pretty much dead. Ice Block heal was already nerfed to bits, I really don’t see why an easily-counterable Alter Time needs to also be gutted. Also - it’s not even supposed to be a heal? I’m altering time, and snapshotting back to my prior situation, not healing myself…

I love how Alter Time’s entire ethos is precisely that it isn’t a healing ability (and super clunky and awkward to use because of that) but now it’s also affected by healing reduction effects. Literally the worst of both worlds. I wish the devs would make up their minds… if it’s not a healing ability then it shouldn’t be affected by healing reduction effects and if it is then just make it an instant full health heal like Lay on Hands.

Could change it to Rewind Time and have it insta heal for damage lost in the last few seconds or so, but then it’s basically just the PvP talent with the healing up front instead of after a delay, so :man_shrugging:

Right? Alter Some Time Sorta. It doesn’t even make sense as a spell at this point. (Didn’t it actually used to give your CDs back? Like…actually snapshot you back? But hey let’s continue killing the theme, everyone loves casting Fireball after switching from Purple spec)

Blizzard likes healers mandatory in 2s so we have to wait 30 min for solo shuffle because their is a shortage there, big brain problem solving at its best.

Which I hate because healer dps shouldn’t feel so insurmountable as double dps. Unless you crush the opener, you typically just lose. Granted I suck but it’s kinda not fun if I have to Ice Wall perfectly or lose still.

If it’s any consolation the rock-paper-scissors of Warlock > Mage > Warrior > Warlock > Mage etc still mostly applies
