One of my pet peeves is running with hybrid DPS who don’t cleanse themselves.

ret paladins stray further from the light evermore each day
Definitely Barkskin. Damage and hp scale with keys, affix doesnt. Damage Reduction abilities become more valuable and paramount the higher the keys go
You know whar else is also never redunant to the healer? Reducing incoming damage so they dont have as much to heal. 6 one way, half a dozen another
I couldn’t imagine not running with a dispel on my mage. Decursive makes it super easy to use on allies. Hear sound → click a lit up player on the micro unit frame. Been doing that for ages.
This thread proves that a lot of DPS players don’t even know their own Class Tree since they likely just copypasta’d their build from WOWhead.

It is redundant if the duration exceeds the time of the dmg spike and players getting topped off and there’s no inc dmg for some extra seconds of bark
Even if the affix doesn’t scale, you can’t ignore it…
Not to mention conserving mana not having to heal avoidable dmg
"Oh look at that 4 extra seconds of bark reducing nothing, good thing I got imp bark instead of a dispel.
I’m sure there won’t be a massive pull where an undispelled affix won’t cause a problem"
I think its pretty cool. Other than that, I’m on your side.

As a ret paladin main for almost 20 years, I don’t invite them to keys as the vast majority are absolute trash.

As a ret main, I hate other rets. Usually, not always

Same can be said for dispelling the affix lol
I never said ignore it. I said heal through it. And i already touched on the efficiency of healing and GCDs. It goes back the amount of healing required not dispelling vs not having a DR rolling.
“Oh look, affix popped at the end of the massive pull when no one is taking damage. Good thing i have this dispel that…oh healer took care of it already because they had nothing better to do and had to heal 2 other memebers who didnt have a dispel anyway”
See how it can go either way? And during a massive pull where theres going to be a lot of damage going out regardless and a healer is going to be doing AoE heals for 75% of their GCDs, an extended Barkskin would go further.
Even looking at logs you’ll see that the healers will heal through the majority of them. That those with dispels are usually using them on more pressing abilities and not the affix
that’s crazy!!!. emergency salve isnt a dispell tho. it only removes diseases and poison effects hope that help XD
Instant dispel on an 8 second cooldown with 5 people needing to be dispelled. Do the math. If you can dispel yourself, that’s many seconds of damage eliminated. Healer isn’t whining, just pointing to the obvious. We can’t dispel everyone instantly.

If dispel was meant for DPS to use, all DPS specs would have access to it, like an interrupt.
Do you job healer.

Your a Resto Druid, with nothing higher than a +4 done. You are not doing any content that it matters.
No it can’t… The affix always has to be dispelled…
If a healer is pumping with CDs and is dishing out enough heals to just passively take care of th affix, great. But that’s not always the case…
Nope, because of mana economy…
Why have healer waste mana like that when you can just dispel it yourself

Great, you found one. I’ll gladly dispell you.

the affix also gives 4% crit and 2% max hp per debuff removed… wouldnt you rather get all of them dispelled asap and have the extra health and dmg for the pull instead of dragging it out on the healer and not having any benefit until the pull is over

100%. Ran a +6 today where our dumb (or entitled) healer didn’t do the affix at all. Was having to dispel/heal myself and the group every time.
Warlocks can dispel with their felhunter, but you ain’t getting my dispel for being such a wimp. Not to mention a coward. Lookit you complaining about a HEALER JOB on a mage.
Do I have a dispel?
