Hpal- I was excited to play this weekend

Now I want to delete the game. Why would the devs further nerf a class that is only doing well in raid? M+ is a struggle. Where are the shaman nerfs?

If you want to delete the game over a 5% nerf to the second most represented healer in m+ you do you.

We got a 6% Nerf the last round of Nerf so it’s 11% so far. And it’s been a struggle in m plus

Again, this is the wrong approach. They are nerfing the spec due to raid performance, a raid performance due to a bugged ability from Herald’s.

Was it that hard to fixed it before tuning?

Was it that hard to nerf Herald in raid before nerfing Hpal overall?

Second time the spec gets a rework and then 8+ consecutive nerfs week after week. And it’s not like it was massively overperforming either, they just needed to fix 1 bug.

I wouldn’t exactly call it a struggle, i’ve been healing just fine in M+. This seems more like they just don’t like Herald and want to push people into Lightsmith, because they can’t solve Herald.

Man, as someone who likes lightsmith, seeing my healing getting hit again because herald is still bugged on stacked fights is actually super disappointing.

Exactly this.

They needed to fix Herald, not nerf everything, specially considering LS current performance which is almost, almost, unplayable.

You’d be surprised how good it is if you put your weapons on other healers in raid, but obviously herald is still better because stacking with dawnlight is broken…

I was testing in M+ today, and was dissapointed with the output. Herald is still hard carrying the spec.

DPS wise is kinda nice, but Hpal DPS as a whole is still pretty poor overall.

It’s like when people make excuses about the economy and inflation. They’ll spew nonsense about how inflation is only up 7%… yeah try 7% per YEAR. Nerfs compound the same way.

Hpal is fortunate that basically every boss this season except the third boss in Necrotic Wake has damage events that fit entirely within virtues window, otherwise the spec would be unplayable. Like I shudder to think of this version of hpal in Dragonflight dungeons. It is definitely a struggle. They’re doing this because of the Dawnlight bug.

As optimistic as I was going on, seeing another nerf, one where I’m still not sure is even deserved in light that it’s there because of a bug greatly diminishes my desire to even play not only Paladin but this game in general.

Because we’ve seen this before in DF. We’ll take aura nerfs over and over until the spec is unplayable and in need of another rework. I don’t feel like picking a new class to play again for a year lol.
