1 being the best, 5 the worst.

1-MW / 2-Rdruid / 3-Hpal / 4-Rsham / 5-Dpriest (what it should be to be balanced and keep the spirit of each class)

Toughness:

Damage output:
1- Rdruid / 2-MW / 3-Dpriest / 4-Hpal / 5-Rsham (what it is right now)

Utility defensive:
1-Hpal / 2-Rsham / 3-Rdruid / 4-MW / 5-Dpriest (what it is right now)
1-Hpal / 2-Rsham / 3-MW / 4-Dpriest / 5-Rdruid (what it should be to be balanced and keep the spirit of each class)

Mana consumption:
1-Rdruid / 2-Hpal / 3-MW / 4-Rsham / 5-Dpriest (what it is right now)

Mana regen:
1-Rdruid / 2-Mw / 3-Rsham / 4-Hpal / 5-Dpriest (what it is right now)
1-Dpriest / 2-Rdruid / 3-MW / 4-Rsham / 5-Hpal (what it should be to be balanced and keep the spirit of each class)

Lets calculate this…
right now:
Rdruid 16 -----winner
Hpal 21
MW 25
Rsham 33
Dpriest 40 ------loser

what it should be:
Rdruid 26
Hpal 27
MW 28 -------worst by a very small margin.
Rsham 25 ------ best by a very small margin.
Dpriest 26

not perfect but way more close… and that balancing doesnt touch to the spirit of each class.

When all healing spec are viable the game is healty.

omg I am going to be honest I didn’t read that but thank you for taking the time to make this

I would say MW has better healing output than Hpal, and Hpal has #1 Mana Consumption. A rdruid has to drink twice before I need to drink once lol

Agreed. Druids have to drink a lot. I play rdruid and hpally. I barely drink on my pally.

Pretty bad list honestly.

HPriest is nowhere to be seen.

Then you say that you want Disc the tankiest healer, even though they are the only one in Cloth? Beating RDruids with Bear Form, RShamans with Mail and a Shield, and HPallies with Plate and a Shield?

HPally to be more mobile than RShammy, even though they have Ghost Wolf?

HPally to be out-damaged by every healer, even though they have a history of being a damage/healer hybrid, in the form of Shockadin?

Can’t read any further. RIP class design, I guess.

He also put it as one of the lowest in defensives CDs, and panic CDs… Did you even read the post??

Holy priest ?!? Cmon dude ! they cant even balance 1 spec not gonna ask for 2… also im pretty sure 90% of priests prefer discipline for healing in pvp.

to answer Jawah…

  • Holy priest… you make me laugh…
  • (disc toughness) Gafron said it all
  • (hpal and rsham mobility) They are so close its hard to tell which one has the best mobility
  • Shockadin was half a season and denounce 1 xpac… nothing compare to others.

So an entire healing spec should be 100% non-PvP viable. Come on bro.

In no world should a Cloth class be tankier than a Plate class. It’s this kind of mentality that is why we’re in the caster meta we are in today. I can see an argument for Priests to maybe be tankier than HPallies versus casters, but that’s it. (Think Fire Emblem style of each class’ strengths and weaknesses.) They should definitely be a lot more fragile versus melee damage, though, 100%. Armor type should matter. Priests should make up for this by having higher healing capabilities and/or more CC and/or CC prevention.

No. HPally should be the lowest mobility, hands down, with only Priest being comparably as low as them. RShammy should have mid-tier mobility.

I think you’ve missed a lot of content.

HPally should be comparable to Disc in damage, and they should both take up 1st and 2nd place. 3rd and 4th place should go to RDruid and MW, and 5th and 6th to RShammy and HPriest.

In no way should hpal be a high damage healer. The fuhk is the matter with you.
