Does Blizzard play their own game? When I first started playing Dragonflight I went balance druid I reached a decently high ilvl within the first 2 weeks of the expansion and my dps was still underperforming ever other class I went up against. I picked the shortest stick in the dps bunch so I rerolled healer and chose mist weaver. I thought Balance was bad I basically cut the shortest stick I got in half. I am a 399 Mistweaver with 2 tier and some bis pieces and trinkets a 1900+IO and I still cannot heal a 15 when classes like Resto druid, Evo and priest seems to have cake walks. I am convinced the devs and the creators of the game do not have and lack the skill to play their own game in order to test what they put in moderate keys let alone work it out on each class. They do not test their own numbers they just give them to the player base and say “Make it work”. I’ve wasted so much time trying to make my own way in this game and have fun outside the meta and I’m being punished severely for it. You won blizzard you want everyone to play one single class at a time ok count me in. That counts for my raids and parties as well only the meta classes atm are allowed in.
Ya of course they do. They farm mounts and mogs.
So let me get this right. You rolled balance, and decided that the damage wasn’t good enough for you (although they are at the top of the ranged tier list right now on subcreation), so you decided to heal instead and instead of sticking with the druid that you’ve already geared up THAT IS ALSO THE TOP OF THE TIER LIST you went MW? I’ve never been much of a meta slave but that obviously is something that bothers you and you’ve created your own problem.
It sounds like you like the game and have put in a lot of time to gear your characters. I would highly recommend going to monk forums or discord and seek out help in healing keys specifically from experienced players to help you.
With your current ilevel and gear your class is beyond capable of healing 15’s, I promise you that. If you want to play “off meta” I absolutely encourage it. I think you should play what you love! There are many people willing to help you for free if you just ask. I wish I knew more about mistweaver, but unfortunately I have never tried to play it. Good luck man! Don’t be so down about it, this is a great opportunity to improve, you made it this far.
To start, look through this list of players at the top to see what talents and gear they are running and then dig a bit deeper to find out why. It’s a great way to get going in the right direction.
^^ this is the monk discord. Look through the #mistweaver tab. You can ask questions there!
No they don’t
They do. The trick is to figure out what class they are playing and to play that class. The dev team will nerf any class doing better than thier own and buff thier own class.
This has gotten worse that last two expansions
This was at the begin of release where there wasnt any established Tier list because it was all new.
If you couldnt do dmg as a balance druid, you switched to heal with thiking that it was an easy role and has been carried by others. Then you made a wrong choice. Balance is among the top specs, good balance druids are highly sought. Healer is as hard as other roles now. Mw is fine at that key level.
But at the end of the day, it’s just a game, play at the level you are comfortable with.
Rdruid has been known to be strong since beta.
Wasn’t looking for easy, just sustained damage, but other factors like my friend group needing a healer made me reroll.
He meant you are way overgeared for m15. M15 is like for 380ilvl with 0 tier, but most ppl prefer 390 to be a bit overgeared.
As noted in my initial post I was looking for off meta and for what it is worth I did know about resto druid’s potential, I played resto in Shadowlands and was wanting to try something new but I guess that’s my bad.
Nothing wrong with that, I’m not trying to bust your balls here. It’s looking like some buffs are coming Tuesday
I swear Ive read the guides and I know how to fistweave just the output isnt there not to mention staying on top of all your procs in order to achieve maximum healing potential…
That’s probably why he’s giving you resources to help you. There have been plenty of mw monks going well above 15s so it’s possible to reach the hps necessary to get there with tighter play. I can’t even heal a normal dungeon with that spec so it’s not like it’s something I could personally give advice for but it’s certainly possible.
Again, I have no experience with mist weaver, I just know what approach I would take if I was in the same situation - and I have been!
Thats what im hoping for…and Its what I want but also if they could make a liable ranged healing mistweaver these one shock mechanics in dungeon are working me lol.
Something I’m having to do as melee dps is mark the tank so i can see where frontals are coming from. Pretty much every other mechanic is easy enough to see, granted there is a lot of it. The only thing I’m having any kind of trouble seeing (I’m getting closer and closer to 40 so my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be) is the white clouds on the last boss of CoS. The rest just takes practice
Most devs dont usually play there own game. They spend there work days working on the game. Why play it when they are off.
In modern wow, healers help tank but not fully responsible for tank survivability, your main responsibilty is to heal group party dmg, its where you use your cds. Outside of that you do basic healing rotation and keep yourself alive, if tank or dps require more heal than necessary and die to any mechanics then it’e not your fault. Even in group dmg scenarios, it’s not your fault if they die with def cds available.
I play tank, I am only annoyed by healers who cant heal group dmg even when the party uses their def cds, or die to mechanics. Healer is similar to tank, keeping yourself alive is the top priority.
