Cause if u give them top dps they would be top healer too. Cause they work in pair on this class
Oh hey - Mythic weekâs underway, and every RWF guild is using at least one Disc priest every fight, multiple in a couple fights. Even before the Kyrian build is actually fully relevant.
Guess theyâre useless. Barrier/SS is not good enough to justify slightly lower HPS at all. 
And?
Other healers are allowed to have top healing and top dps (looking at you holy paladin)
Why does having dps/healing tied together suddenly exclude the spec from being competitive at the top end?
Iâm not seeing the reasoning behind your argument
Blizzard overtuning Paladin damage is known and itâs a problem. Asking for every spec to be like Paladin is a fast way to homogenizing healers to all having passive damage, since Paladin currently is the single most valuable asset to raid in order to get bosses down faster.
Realistically, Paladin damage should be nerfed severely, rather than buff Disc damage until itâs at the top. That said, Blizzard made an expansion that is completely insane when it comes to sub systems and couldnât account for pretty much anything. They saw Paladins moving to the Holy Power system as reason to significantly increase the damage/healing of HP builders/spenders in order to incentivize players to engage with it. Itâs backfired on them in a huge way, but they have pretty much no recourse with how far behind they are in literally every other area right now.
Disc priest needed a slight damage boost moving into 9.1. They got it with the Kyrian leggo/conduit. Unfortunately, Blizzard designed the spec into a spot where itâs heavily reliant on covenant power. Rather than bring back a baseline version of Lightâs Wrath, they made two high damage covenant powers, and nerfed pretty much everything else about the spec when Spirit Shell was brought in. So we have to play with a spec that feels incomplete if you donât pick the right choices in their borrowed power systems.
Thereâs plenty to be upset about here, but their viability or their damage/hps really isnât one of them. The class is good right now. The reasons WHY itâs good are just extremely unfortunate.
oh look, disc priests in every world first, top pvp ratings and clearing some of the highest keys⌠they must really suck! throughput on WCL matters more right.
As we expected. Disc priest is still gonna be a top pick for mythic progress.
Barrier is still one of the best external cooldowns for raids to have. Spirit shells is stil a strong CD to prevent damage and Disc priest damage is still relevant a valuable for bringing down bosses.
