Don’t tell them what healer specs was like way back when.
Not that I think HPAL neeeds any buffs right now, but they could add a damage component to Infused Judgments. Or make the Mastery increase damage done at half-strength.
By that logic we should never buff prot or ret. You know, because back then.
Bruh he is playing healer. low dps is to be expected.
This is funny because i have good memories of “way back when” wearing a mix of cloth and leather gear and Holy Shock hitting like a truck.

Yeah shockadin was a thing, you could always do good damage with holy shock. I levelled a paladin as holy in tbc classic, wrath, and cata, and it was fine. It was great in retail up until midnight, when they decided for some reason the healers shouldn’t have any damage.
I still try to make it work, I do all my world stuff, delves, prey, etc, as holy. Maybe I’m weird but I just like being a more caster type paladin, I find it fun for killing stuff even if the damage is a bit on the lower side.
you are forgetting exorcism too

That’s because you’re a healer? Need to respec to ret for questing really.
I prefer then reckadin builds personally.
I genuinely HATE that everyone just tells you to switch specs. I really, really do.
It’s like everyone collectively forgot wtf a “game” is, and all they care about is what is expedient or approximately 8% better.
It is a fantasy role playing game. People LIKE their class, and presumably their spec. I want to play a holy paladin. I want to adventure, explore, etc. as a holy paladin. I don’t want to have to pull out a two ton sword when that’s not “my character.”
Does that not make sense to y’all?
And it’s not like buffing the damage in open world pve would be any harmful to literally anything lmao. It would just allow people to actually properly roleplay their favorite class and spec.
Imagine a Beast Master hunter, developing a relationship with their companions, and then going “frick y’all” and going Marksman just bc a boss would die faster.
Dang man it’s like y’all all forgot what joy and fun is lmao.

This post was likely a silly-post when it was originally made. Holy Pally damage was ridiculous when S2 was released and was nerfed after the first week. Holy Pally now, at least in pvp is pretty good – not Disc Pr good but the burst windows are great with melee wings. I’m happy to accept more damage though.
Expected, sure, but not that low. I can get on my shaman, druid, prevoker, or priest and immediately trounce the damage my pally does, while also being able to clear the same content. Shouldn’t be quite so much of a gap between the damage of the healers when compared to each other, no?
Ergo - Holy Paladin could use damage buffs. Judgment, Consecration, Autoattacks, and Shield of the Righteous would be great places to put those damage buffs. You don’t want to fiddle with Holy Shock, it’s a good button and I don’t trust Blizzard to not like, make it heal for crap if the damage went up.
Lightsmith surprisingly does some good damage. As Herald I would finish a key at like 29k over, yes pathetic, and as lightsmith I usually finish like 60ish overall.
Ya but then I don’t have the raw output of herald and I don’t line high keys without it personally
God I miss that move.
