Is bursting dispellable in pre patch? Thought it was just in beta…
As far as im aware yes. Mostly whats live in beta is live now, barring obviously covenants etc, but the basic game yes
yes. mass dispell works great for it but it eats your mana. be safe =D
Yeah it is. I ran some keys last night and it’s nice for multiple stacks of bursting.
I have a weakauras that shows how many bursting stacks you have and I wait until there’s at least 3-4 stacks because 1-2 isn’t really worth a mass dispel because it barely does any damage that PoM and a quick CoH can’t just top off.
I ran some M+ last night after raiding and I actually saw groups deliberately asking for priest healers in the LFG tool. The groups I was in the tanks were pulling aggressively because they knew they had a buffer against bursting.
Yeah, it’s been a problem with some tanks, too. In around 15+ keys I’m seeing VERY aggressive pulls that just require a mass dispel or barrier (10-12 stacks) but then tons of chain pulling with no care for mana.
Not so much a problem if you have a shadow priest with you, because their MD is essentially free, but it wears down my mana pretty quick casting MD off CD. And it’s hard to find time to drink when your tank is LoSing you or starting obelisk at 20% mana. Being forced to play pretty conservatively right now as a result.

Oh nice, can’t wait to try it out. Seriously considering maining my Disc priest come SL, but have really struggled with bursting… should be awesome.
I can confirm it is dispellable. Although if your tank doesn’t know how to manage stacks and pull smaller groups we can fall behind easily even with this in our kit as I also found out last night. Tank didn’t want to listen and that was no bueno
on the upside you can also personal dispel yourself and watch your tank die and rez after

^^^just did this before logging off a few moments ago.
Told the tank they could pull yuge every other pull but to keep an eye on my Mana since Mass D eats up some magic juice.
Pulled a huge second pack and I did the best I could but when 7-9 mobs all dropped with a few seconds of each other on the second yuge pack, I chuckled and dispeller myself.
*Anyway, it’s really nice having a tool against Burstin as Disc now. Really nice.
Obviously doesn’t mean were “Bursting God’s” but it does mean were competitive on these weeks.

Yea its pretty nice…but also the bursting dmg is actually laughable atm so that helps even more. Even though you are the healer the dps should also be doing their part on self healing and popping defensives. On my shammy i have healing stream and juicy chain heals.
The only reason bursting is annoying on my disc other than it still gearing up is when there is nothing to hit for attonement healing.
I’ve been doing 21-22s lately and there’s really not a lot of trash packs where you’re going to get more than 3-4+ stacks of bursting all at once. Usually it’s like 1-2 at a time which isn’t really much of a threat at all.
Shrine & Free Hold is where you need to keep an eye out on things the most.
