Emerald Blossom healing in Devastation spec

Hey, everyone!

Just tell me how a spell with a 30 second cooldown heals for 1/3 of a Living Flame spell that is always available?

You also have to take an additional talent to enhance this healing almost x2 (Panacea).

Healing for 120 k with 30 sec CD when I have 4.5 millions HP? Really?

Because it’s an AOE, has no cast time, and instantly fills scarlet adaptation if you use it well?

It’s much more for scarlet adaptation than it is for big healing.

Brilliant, really, the point is different, well, let’s just remake EB spell into a Scarlet Adaptation proc spell.
Yeah, strong AOE healing that heals 3 party members for 120 k each.

We’re not a healing spec?

Why would you change something to only give SA? I’d rather have aoe healing and SA, regardless of the strength.

I’m not sure who gave you the impression the heal was strong, but it’s not and it doesn’t need to be.

Compared to DF the heal barely moves your healthbar, and that’s with it benefiting from panacea. Also it’s not just a button to fill scarlet adaptation, it’s a survivability tool. You must consider that scarlet adaptation exists to compensate you for spending a global healing yourself instead of dpsing.

Emerald blossom is very weak and undertuned right now.

It’s crazy–it’s almost like we have low ilvl and primary stat before mythic content releases.

Blossom was just as weak at the beginning of DF.

This is what I’m trying to say, but there will always be someone who in a sinking ship, will think and tell everyone around that everything is ok.

If your “ship is sinking” because you don’t get big heals from blossom in a DPS spec, it’s time to reroll.

Dev is good and is getting insane buffs, lol.

If you think that everything in this game is perfectly balanced, this is your problem! Besides mythics, there are many other aspects in the game, for example pvp, imagine.

Lmao pvp is a neglected mini-game.

What? Show me where I even came close to claiming this.

It most certainly was not. At the beginning of DF EB absolutely could save me or an ally from a sticky situation.

Our health pools are inflated compared to DF. This was to make healing less spikey. many classes self heals were tuned with this change in mind. Emerald blossom was not.

Combined with Panacea on my 581 evoker, It heals for about 200k of my 4 million health. That’s nothing. That’s 5% of my healthbar, on a 30 second cooldown.

Meanwhile on my ret pally, WoG heals for about 10% of my health, and that’s ignoring the fact that the amount of healing scales up the lower my health gets. That’s also ignoring that i can virtually spam it.

And yes EB is an aoe heal. But the amount of healing isn’t saving any allies, it’s completely negligible.

It is undertuned.

The evoker community on the forums is self defeating. Everything is perfect as is, nothing ever needs to change. You just keep eating the crap that gets shoveled your way with a smile.

Wait so are you saying you want a smaller health pool so that blossom feels like it’s healing more in a DPS spec?

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or if you don’t realize you’re negating your entire argument about the impact of blossom. It didn’t get worse, health pools got bigger (which is a much better thing)…

No, the (intelligent) community understands that giving power to a heal that’s not very relevant to our survivability potentially means power comes from elsewhere.

Bad players and casuals don’t understand that you can’t just arbitrarily buff anything you want without consequences.

Our survivability is literally night and day better than it was last expansion. Stop focusing on the wrong things that need dev attention, blossom isn’t one of them.

I think you’re the one who’s trolling if you’re gonna willfully misinterpret this post as me asking to nerf healthpools.

Mmkay, only bad players want their self heals to heal. Bye.

  1. Complains that blossom has less of an impact on health pools and needs buffs.

  2. Admits we have significantly larger health pools compared to a time when blossom felt like it had a bigger impact.

Thanks for the laugh.

We already got that you are the developer of Evokers in Blizzard, breathe out.
We are not satisfied with your work.

We know you’re not, because you are completely clueless about the game and spec.

I can’t believe you discovered my secret!

Only bad players think that it’s not healing just because they have a proportionately larger health pool. Larger health pools also give more power to talents like blaze, which actually heals for a ton.

But low skill players struggle with proactive heals, which makes it clear why we’re complaining about the perceived weakness of a reactive heal when the lion’s share of our survivability has always come from scales, and blaze.

Toodles bud.

I’ll leave you two to tantrum about irrelevant issues, have a great weekend!

:DD

What a toxic little troll.
You don’t even deserve to waste time on you.
Bye /ignored.

Agree, the healing from Emerald Blossom is really subpar from the Dragonflight’s version. It was one of the first things i notice at the start of the expansion.

Panacea talent becomes kind useless, that initial healing is a joke.

The healing from Verdant Embrace is ok.

It should become atleast somewhat relevant, heck they could just give dev the same proc that makes it good for aug.

The aug blossom talents are completely worthless and no one takes them unless trolling.

If they made blossom not oom you instantly, dream of spring builds would be a fun build but sadly they don’t seem interested in making it viable.
