Every AWC game is hpriest (zero disc)
H Priests did need buffing to be on par with other healers.
At the 1800+ MMR (solo shuffle), every healer has a chance of winning, no one healer feels overly dominant.
Games against R Druid can and often do go into deep dampening but still winnable.
They are getting an adjustment to oracle PoM healing and Smite / Holy Fire from 40% back to 15%.
I reckon you’ll see a lot more people switch back to Disc this week as H Priest while still good, won’t be as oppressive.
Oracle Holy ooms very fast if POM isn’t constantly keeping everyone topped off. I can’t imagine Holy keeps pace with Rdruid next week because the Rdruid nerfs are far less impactful.
I mean, if every class has a viable spec that’s good. So seeing holy instead of disc isn’t really an issue. Especially when you factor gearing.
The lack of rsham, hpal, monk, evoker is kind of an issue imho. Rdruid got to show up and get wrecked with their current 4 piece which was cute though.
Either way, I think all of the healers are viable for the lower end queues. Which is where balancing matters the most.
ye I agree we were overbuffed. not to the absolutely absurd level of s1 hpal but still too strong. the changes on tuesday should make hpriest more reasonable without crippling it
Any archon cooks? It felt bad running it but now with only a 15% difference on Pom I’m definitely trying it again
about to play around with super high haste lightweaver but I don’t have high hopes. just want to see if it could be good while playing with specs that make it really unwise to kick me instead of them. I’ll have a better idea of what feels good in a couple days
Im liking spammable renew with echo and divine word. Renew to proc surge of light more and make up got not having oracle spread without having to go trail of light which blows atm
Current Hpriest mage is way stronger combo than any hpal caster combo last seas and it’s not close
Idk id say hpriest is as broken as hpal was last season… which = busted
Even if you’re right Holy Priest got fixed in 2 weeks where as Holy Paladins were just straight up given the entire season. There should be different levels of disgust there
Your priest was yummy !
