Legit join groups, almost always a random hunter with lower IO than me, but people legit crash out and start cussing, flaming, and running their mouth about how stupid Holy is, how I’m trolling, so bad, etc lol.
In a way I get it, Disc is so OP, brain dead, and has so much healing and survival that it makes sense to play it if you are a meta chaser, but I am not a meta chaser. I play Holy because it’s my favorite. I do it for all content from delves and challenges, to M+, PvP, and raid.
Any other Holy experiencing the crazy unhinged losers a lot more this season?

I couldn’t deal with this, which is why I exclusively guild run. I’m here to have a good time. It’s my entertainment. Sorry about your experience

Probably just bad luck joining the wrong kind of players sadly.
You’re playing a paid game meaning you have the right to play what you want and how you want to.
Being meta doesn’t mean instant invite.
I main Balance Druid (since day 1) and Disc Priest (since Legion), I’m over 2500 m+ raiting 4/8 portals acquired and I still get declined from low lvl runs.
What I’m trying to say is don’t let other people ruin your day. They are probably low skill players looking for ultra top meta classes to carry them.
As a side note, after a certain point, the higher the key the more each person has to rely on themselves to be alive. DPS shouldn’t just wait for healers to babysit them. They should avoid things, use defensives, dispell themselves, interrupt and so on… a good dps is not only meassured by how much damage they do.
My best keys are with DPS that we’re doing their job so I could do a lot of damage and still do a lot of burst healing for all of the proper healing checks but nothing feels worse than being in a 14 or a 15 and mobs are free casting and eventually one-shotting people when you have two or four mobs focusing a single player at the same time for the instant kill

In fairness, all your max timed keys have meta dps in them - mages, dks, boomies. People are grabbing the best dps to make sure enough damage to time the keys, so it’s only reasonable to expect the best for all roles.
Sounds like you got grouped with some immature peoples there, best to avoid them imo. I have been a priest main since I started years ago. Started as shadow, played some disc in pvp a smidge, then played holy for several seasons. Played disc for break the meta I think it was DF season 4 and have ping ponged between holy and disc (in keys) since for funsies. I am even back to my roots and playing shadow in raid this season with my guild.
All of that to say, maybe if you mixed it up at some point you might enjoy the other specs of priest and be able to shift around season to season for variety? Iunno, I get being a stubborn holy priest, I was that for a long time and still refuse to try and heal raid as disc.
Hope that you have better luck in groups!
Never had people be that toxic but I get declined all the time. Invited even then kicked for not being Disc. I’m a little over 3k M+ Score and it just what it is. I wish it wasn’t as meta chasing does not help anyone.
Yea, I’m used to that every season. I’ve just personally seen a lot of extra psychotic behavior from people. I’m fine w/ getting declined, but people absolutely crashing out over me playing my spec is a new one.

I think it’s been getting worse every season of M+, but more especially since S2 dragonflight.
That season had such a hard, strict meta and I don’t think M+ comps ever recovered. Now everybody is in that mindset that they really, really HAVE to be running the absolute best comps. And that’s started around the +14 level now.
