Holy 4 set

This feels like a set bonus I’ll never be able to live without now. How do we go back to standard holy word generation after this without it feeling terrible?

I’m scared for the future.

You need to look at it like this though. They slammed all these nerfs on us just to balance us around the tier set:

  • Divine Star healing decreased by 25%.
  • Holy Word: Salvation’s cooldown is now reduced by 15 seconds (was 30 seconds) by Holy Word: Serenity and Holy Word: Sanctify.
  • Holy Word: Sanctify now heals up to 5 allies (was 6).
  • Prayer of Mending healing decreased by 5%.
  • Halo healing decreased by 15%.
  • Echo of Light healing decreased by 15%.
  • Divine Image’s Dazzling Light healing decreased by 35%.
  • Divine Image’s Blessed Light healing decreased by 20%.

So was it a good thing that our 4-piece is amazing if we lost all of this? Holys hps performance isn’t looking good in raid either and I’m expecting hotfixes to buff us.

More from a gameplay and feel perspective. Don’t have to spam flash heal nearly as much. Can use holy words more freely etc.

I always dislike nerfing a base kit to slot in a tier set because the aftermath is always worse.

It’d be nice to have a tier though where Holy isn’t mid or 2nd to last on hps.

I sit in raid and watch the Resto Druid Rejuv the entire raid, snipe all the healing, and do 20% more hps than every other healer, but they get +3% hps buffs the next week.

Their 4 set made up for whatever the logs were showing last week.

I was over 200k hps on heroic larodar the first time in there. Can probably do more. Didn’t feel too bad once I had the 4 set.

I finally got four set after getting KSM today but haven’t tried it out yet. Interested to see how it feels. I also put point in the rapid recovery talent

I love it, but it is getting me in trouble. Basically I’m sitting in melee range spamming holy nova divine star and instant holy fires and on damage windows I have 6 casts of serenity/sanctify as reqd. If I need more I pop my apoth. Almost never is this not enough for me (running 16s-18s this week) If I’m off apoth and out of holy words…. It is a slow and painful burn of spamming to get my words back. But this fits my playstyle so I’m good with it. The set really makes you feel a lot stronger which is kind of cool since you know you’re getting free charges rather than last season which you don’t really feel the power you just get residual mend bounces and hps gain)
