That is what I expect it to end up as. I believe it takes a full second to even get the first tic of the heal. over 6 secoudns that would be 10% a second, after the first empty second.
If its 3 or 4 seconds, healing to 50% would be either:
1 empty second, 2 seconds of 25% a tic
or
1 empty second, 3 seconds of 16.7% per tic.
Possibly 3-4s for 60% I’d say, considering the downsides.
That’s still no initial tick, first tick on 1s (as I believe they already made it) then 15-20% per tick.
Edit:
To clarify either
0s - No heal
1s - 15%
2s - 30%
3s - 45%
4s - 60%
Judging by his profile he pretty much never plays resto, doesn’t know what arena is and does the occasional M+ 10 key. Which is fine, but it certainly shows a lack of experience with higher end play.
4 different healers above 1800 first month of rated play in BFA. 2 healers at 2k rating. Only started healing full time because too many friends previously gave up on WoW. Stopped playing BFA because its a poor expansion.
Multiple AotC achieves over the years, but I haven’t cared about raiding in about a decade. Its boring. Its just online dance fighter once you learn the scripted mechanics. Competing for parses doesn’t interest me.
I progression raided as heals, DPS and tank in vanilla fairly hardcore. Raided loads back in the day because my friends raided. With not enough of them left to form a raid team I quit caring about it and played even more PvP, which I consider significantly more challenging and engaging content anyway.
Believe what you want, doesn’t matter to me and doesn’t change how little you understand about this racial’s potential.
the only worry is in the rated pvp arena…if they don’t nerf zaldar racial…
i can foresee that top grps will likely have at least 2 zaldar, likely rogue, paladin or mage…
that will truly kill the esport that blizz trying to promote…
To be honest, I hardly imagine people will often get 3s free ticks never mind 4s which is why I don’t see it as that big an issue.
Anything less than that would be punishing, unless as Akston mentioned the ticks are for something like 16.7% or higher.
If you try and go for 10% per tick anything below 3s is significantly worse than Draenei racial, unless of course you remove the initial valueless tick that it currently has so it immediately heals for that first 10%. Which I agree could be an option.
It would either look like
0 - no heal
1 - 16.7%
2 - 33.4%
3 - 50%
Multiple healers to higher arena rating this expansion than you have ever seen on any character isn’t “relevant.” Just shows how little you actually know.
This will be my last reply unless you actually contribute something. The constant attacks, and trolling are just getting old. There is a reason, obviously, that most of my replies have ignored arena/pvp. It is not something I am familiar with. Its not something I actively participate in, so my replies are nearly nonexistent in that area. Because they shouldn’t be taken seriously.
Just like when you talk about high end m+ and raiding, you have no relevant experience in that area.
Wrong. I have plenty. I don’t need to know the current dance routine to know how to dance. That’s all heroic raiding is. I did plenty of M+ last expansion as all three roles. You sit in the back spamming LBs while dismissing anything you are unfamiliar with, its comical.
Not trying to be mean…but I’m only showing you with an IO score of 949 currently. Also to mention no PvP experience.
949 is not a high IO, so you don’t have the experience either of high M+
My main got 2.2k in arenas on the first week, and started M+ last week and already almost 1.2k io from farming no voice pug groups.
1.2k is not high at all either, but I have been in many situations in every M+ I have been in so far where this racial would have saved a player,
In every M+, there is windows where aoe or dot dmg is not going out for seconds. This is when the racial (if needed) would be appropriate to use.
It would save the healer CD’s, Mana, and time. (Healers also dps as well in M+, so a healer not having to heal you is also boosting the groups dmg output).
As for the PvP field, this racial is absolutely crazy powerful in 2v2 and 3v3 arenas. The game is balanced around PvP and PvE. Seeing this racial have a powerful stance in both fields, and have a place on a good amount of bosses and content just shows how powerful a healing ability is.
Again, this conversation is basically void anyways, as they have stated they are indeed making changes.
