I’ve been playing Holy since Vanilla. I love the spec, but I’m going to give it to you straight as an average, casual player - the spec is in awful shape.
It is… neglected.
I feel like the devs hold some personal malevolence against the spec. On the Priest forum we’re routinely called the ‘wheelchair spec’ because we’re hobbled 90% of the time and need to have someone else to push us around.
My frost mage and ret pally have taken up my time this xpac. They’re simply more fun.
And playing them disappoints me even more because they rain such fun and cool talents on survivability mechanics on these two classes.
Meanwhile Holy Priests… I mean how else can we not view it as malice? I knew when a certain WOW dev came back into the fold things would be bad for Holy (I still haven’t forgotten the Ham of AB). But I didn’t think it’d be THIS bad.
It’s not you - it’s them, the devs. And I have little hope for 1.11, even with the reworks because they just… don’t care. I’ve learned this xpac that they just don’t care.
And they haven’t cared for a very long time.
