Healer balance M+?

[Lathorian-malganis]

Are we gonna address the healer balance this season in M+?

I remember you guys said the idea was to rotate meta from time to time. But season 3 is season 1 all over again.
Rshams has been dominating through all the expansion while other healers like Hpala, Hpriest and Mweaver have been in the dust…

Are we ever gonna give Holy/Disc priest an interrupt like every other spec in the game? Why making a season full of dangerous casts and have 1 healer class not being able to support the team with this?
And it’s worse for Hpriest since it brings nothing extra or at least some sort of DR if any cast goes off…

Sure but it’ll cost you your PI.

Gonna be hard to justify giving the most common meta healer an interrupt.

you say that like EVERY class/spec in the game doesn’t already have one.

resto druid has to go in bear form just to do theirs. and penance isn’t really an interrupt, is it?

Yet disc priest has been the regular meta healer for years. Without one.

You say that like every other healer spec has PI, absorbs, MC, MD, etc etc.

[Icyheat-ragnaros]

I still don’t understand why META has to rotate.
It seems like an absurd and lazy solution to me.

They could just give the necessary power to the classes that need it and make them all equal.

It’s just as lazy a solution as bringing back dungeons from past expansions as M+.

Doing that in S2, after a year, I get it—for variety.
But from day 1 of the expansion?
Meh.

Fluid Form takes care of that. It should be baseline, but at least it’s there.

[Eryndra-wyrmrest-accord]

@Discipleb-darkspear

It should be baseline

100% should be. It’s actually insane you have to use a talent point on that.

@Carnewilson-uther

To use their interrupt? No you don’t. And you don’t need Fluid Forms for that either.

Season 1 was dominated by Disc priests. Hard to say it’s like season 1 at all actually.

[Discipleb-darkspear]

Don’t forget season 2.

[Gah-eonar]

Pvp reasons

Priests already have a bunch of stops and ways to avoid casts in pvp, adding a kick would put them over the top.

Fade, Chastise, SW:D, Fear, MC, add kick to thst list and RMP is back!

I also like having an excuse for not interrupting

[Eryndra-wyrmrest-accord]

They already have PI, mass dispel, and mind soothe. Something would have to give if you want an interrupt

[Jarlton-area-52]

@Eryndra-wyrmrest-accord

Something would have to give if you want an interrupt

I don’t want one though, hence my comment

[Rilota-moon-guard]

People just say this as if its true like… justify this. Compare their util to other healers lmao.

[Eryndra-wyrmrest-accord]

Ah, yeah I misread.

Gonna be so real rn, I also like having an excuse not to interrupt.

[Eryndra-wyrmrest-accord]

@Rilota-moon-guard

Compare their util to other healers lmao.

Other healers don’t really have unique meta changing utility though. Mass dispel and mind soothe alone shifted the meta in priest’s favor before they were nerfed. Not to mention PI being a huge perk to having a priest.
