RSHAM is def in the top 3. I would say RDruid will 100 % surpass Preservation by the end of the season because it’s constant hot healing. RSham is very strong into evoker / druid because of purge.

Technically I do have it 3rd from the top, I’m just implying the top 2 are significantly better :wink:

I don’t have experience playing other healers, but I definitely feel bottom of the barrel. I feel tunneled to death by melee, and/or CC’d to oblivion while my meager attempts at throwing out instant heals hardly feel worth the GCD.

Meanwhile, if the opposing healer is a PrEvoker, DPS treat it like they’re allergic to it and focus anything else (understandably).

R sham is easily A tier by itself, but because it hard counters the two specs ABOVE it in power, I’d argue that makes it A+ or S- at the very least.
