Did you forget to nerf disc priests last patch?

They are literally in every. Single. Shuffle. Game. Many of my games have TWO disc priests…they are miles ahead of RDruids and rshamans can we please nerf this spec, why do I need to come to the forums to state the obvious.

I’m not sure why you are singling out disc when Hpal and MW are also both really good, pres is quite good too. Its mostly just rsham and rdruid that arent great, though rsham is close just needs a couple changes, no idea how hpriest is now after buffs.

Oh I’m aware the hpal and mw are both really good, I just don’t see them very often because there’s so many priest players on the ladder

Absorbs are aids for the game.

It’s not just their absorbs. It’s that half their abilities and talents have a baked in “targets you heal or shield take x% less damage” which is not effected by dampening. It’s their endless self mitigation that they have and that they impart on their allies that make them busted. Priests also have a baseline passive that makes them take 30% less damage when hit by melee attacks which is WILD considering most other healers have to use emergency abilities with long cds to achieve the same.

I dislike damage reduc abilities. They last too longer on healers and dps alike. 5 secs for a 30% dam reduc should be the maximum. Should apply to dps amps too.

Man I’d just way rather shaman and Druid be more well rounded. Frankly shaman and druid arent really even that bad, theyre just hurt more by the randomness of solo game modes than the others.

Rsham is not that bad ? Theres 0 in r1 range in 3s…

9 disc
7 presv
0 holy (holy because all priest play disc)
0 rsham
15 hpal
6 mw
2 rdruid

Rsham is sadly underperforming. Mostly due to how many fury war there are and that other healer are just way above

The problem with r1 stats when the game has this low participation is that you only have a sample size of 39 healer characters and many of them are the same person on multiple characters. Holy feels like it sucks worse than resto shaman or Druid independently of disc being great. All of the bad ones should be better.

The sample might be small but it doesnt make it less acurate. Especialy on the us server where we have some of the best player in the world that are known to be rsham that are just not playing it anymore.

How many dps specs aren’t being played at current r1 range in 3s?

I didnt really check but basicly destro and aug

I’m digging hpriest

I turned my rsham into an enchant shaman and my MW(rip) into a ww. I kinda regret changing my MW but they’re 1 ancient teaching nerf(40% of my healing every round) to being right back where they were.

Also made my HPal ret. Now that was worth it. Ret is really good and fun right now

My druid was always feral but since they both use mastery, I guess it’s still kinda druidy.

Turned the dragon into Dev. Probably the most straightforward, easy spec in the game. No one even tries to kill me and it’s really something playing one.

Rdruid and rsham need slight buffs sure. Having clone be apart of your healing rotation is bad.

But theres some pretty bad takes from dps players on what healing should be… lol.

The game and players have moved towards shuffle matchmaking. Sorry but its true.

There is alot of randomness in shuffle with fast dampening, and healing with out damage prevention feels bad. Hpriest, rdruid, mw for example…

Nerfing healers that feel good instead of buffing others will just cause even more healers to quit the game.

Enjoy your que times between door dashes.

Not if you’re looking at current activity.

Healing specs in PvP shokld feel as easy as tank specs in pve. They should all feel easy to play and be overpowered against dps specs. Dps can then continue to get buffed so that deaths are possible but the game is better because healing doesn’t feel bad and people can actually Alt q it without it being like learning an entirely different game.

The issue isn’t the numbers on Disc, it’s the fact that they don’t run out of mana.

Well I just decided to check what Disc’s base mana regen is in PvP, it is double Holy’s base regen. Disc’s mana is barely even nerfed while they have cheaper mana costs on their abilities outside of Radiance.

Mw mana is way crazier then disc mana not even close

I agree with you.

Keep whining. Disc isn’t even the best healer.
