This season is already off to a rough start. As always, Holy was lackluster at the start then as you gain ilvl it starts to become a little better. Then you hit another brick again. Always having to over compensate ilvl per key.
Some dungeons are outright unhealable due to mechanics and Holy still having absolute dog crap aoe healing. Yes serenity is better now, halo is still good, But the cooldowns are still way too long to keep pace with the windows of burst going out. You are 100% at the mercy of your dps using defensive cooldowns like a pro and avoiding almost all unavoidable damage and even then you will still find yourself having to hard plant and spam lightweaver to compensate for the lack of aoe. Prayer of healing is still just garbage. The healing is slightly better this season but the manna drain leaves you standing empty while the rest of your team is running off into the sunset.
Mana is just complete crap. Even rotating your manna regen cooldowns, It isn’t even 1/4 as efficient as monk tea and the absurd manna cost of holy spells is sickening for the amount of output you get.
1x aoe goes off, You have to use halo + serenity
Second aoe goes off, serenity + hymn.
third aoe goes off, You are simply screwed. Forced to blow your apotheosis cooldown and even with 3 free heals off of it, You are likely going to be too slow getting them off to keep someone from dying.
It’s not that horrible in every dungeon but certain ones are near unplayable as holy.
I know we have beat this dog a thousand times over but they insist on keep holy raid heals only. Locked and gated behind absurd cooldowns times that are gating all the power. the rest of the kit is inept and requires over gearing for the content to be effective and you will always be out of manna.
