lol.
With the exception of druids getting a few 15% increases, the only healing changes in the development notes are nerfs.
I really hope to actually see some of this
Cause it doesn’t seem to be happening this build, unless you did it without documenting it.
Quite frankly from a tuning perspective, you took the one healer who actually felt decent because it could move health bars (holy paladin) and just nerfed the crap out of them.
I’ll state here what I was telling my friends last night in discord when they asked if I was excited about the expansion: if healing continues to be a miserable slog fest where I can’t move a players HP faster than damage happens, then I’ll tank to KSH (which is as high as I care to go) and quit for the season. I’d rather not only play for 2-4 weeks of a season, but the way healers currently feel is absolutely frikin terrible.
Mists of Tirna is probably the easiest key in the rotation right now, but the poisons the staghorns do my shaman can barely keep ONE person alive, let alone more than one individual unless I literally pop all my major CDs (NOT ON FORT). My Druid struggled just as much. Monk wasn’t as bad, because their single target funnel can be pretty good if you’re MW not FW, holy priest can’t manage it (disc? LMAO). Holy Paladin was the only one I didn’t panic on. I haven’t taken preservation in there cause after two keys of people standing 60 yards opposite each other I gave up bothering with that class (despite being my favorite to play).
So unless you’re going to seriously dial back some of the unavoidable damage to the point that it doesn’t do 50-70% per tick of our HP each time, the healing needs a dramatic increase. Heck, need personal defensives into the ground for all I care. I want to be able to adequately move health bars.
Or, better yet, just implement an aura in M+ content that buffs healing done, received, I don’t care and increase mana regen. That way it is only applicable to M+ (where mana is asinine, and ST healing is worst).
Do something, please. Cause right now it feels largely like not a single person on the blizzard team plays, or has played, a healer. If I have to go multiple seasons of healing feeling absolutely terrible, I’ll just unsub (which, frankly, you’d probably be doing me a favor at that point).
