Solidly agree to that. And like I said, I know currently we are fine due to Glimmer. My point has been that we are fine in combination with the expansion’s power sets that are temporary, but outside of these I don’t think we are. Without glimmer we’d be dead.
I can’t agree with people saying we are spike healers or have big heals. I also mostly PvP, and I’ll say that maybe the weaknesses are more apparent there. At 460ilvl Holy Shock crits for around 75k, and Flash of Light (with Light Infusion) will crit to around 94k (47k non crit w/ infusion).
2 Globals, and a 1.3s cast equates to around 3 seconds (correct me if I’m wrong on the this number) to heal 160k max IF both crits align (Super RNG). If not your healing for 110k max on a holy shock crit to fol non crit. On a target with 500k HP, thats roughly around 32% health, for a tank with 750k, that’s roughly 21% in 3 seconds if everything crits.
What happens if nothing crits?
*Edited this part because im dumb af at quick maths Holy shock - 37k + FoL 33k = 70k. Using same hp numbers above, DPS 14% healed , tank 09%. Over 3 seconds. FoL spamming is roughly 33k-67k every 1.3s after that.
To me, these are not big heals with the downside of having to hard cast so much. Our HPS truly comes from the glimmer traits that heal for 11k (22k crits) on each target and should in my opinion come from our hard casts.
I think a more proper direction would be to nerf glimmer hard, buff our hard casts, and reduce the effectiveness of our Wings. That’s just my opinion though as I don’t see where the big heals are at.
