In a way it feels easier, but in another way it kinda feels like I have that 'non stop casting" feeling that I get as a dps. I personally liked being able to strategically hit buttons instead of non stop spamming buttons the entire dungeon.
If I want to non stop heal I go raid lol.
Anyway idk how I feel about healing yet… Especially since I’m only doing 6’s at the moment. I know from experience the higher you go the better healing feels… So I’m just curious how other healers feel about the changes.
idk why people keep saying the higher you go healing feels better. like its just oneshots at higher keys. nothing to really even heal at that point, making healing essentially useless except on the tank, and sometimes not even then.
Looks like you answered your own question. Healing feels better because you are no longer constanstantly struggling to keep people up. You just spot heal as needed and contribute the best you can.
All healing was that way for a while until people started complaining about having to DPS during their downtime
Right, so you only have to heal damage you were meant to heal basically. There is still plenty to heal. But right now its still mostly 1 shots to people not interrupting, or 2 shots… the difference is you can very clearly see when its a mechanic and when its a lack of healing at higher keys. Right now it feels like you are not healing enough, but in reality people are just standing in everything.
It feels fine… I was pretty vocal about how my healing spells didnt seem to significantly influence player health… but now if it were any easier it would be kind of a joke. I’m finding myself strapped for mana alot more than i used to, but its also highly dependent on the group. Sometimes im spamming chain lightning because no one is taking damage, other times i’m doing 1.5M on trash pulls and people are still dying.
As a druid healer I love healing dks! They’re so “capable” of self healing compared to other tanks right now, that as long as I keep a few hots on them I never worry about em!!
Monks are okay. I just healed one and felt like the opposite of a DK. Rarely ever needed heavy heals, but when he did there was plenty of time to give them direct heals. (This is at 7 btw~ I’m sure it’ll be different as I climb higher)
I’m not quite there yet, but I’m close! It definitely feels better than it did at first. But people still are constantly dying to 1 shot’s it seems… Frontals, Aggro, interrupts… etc.
When they’re geared enough to take 2 shots instead of 1… it can feel hectic as if its healers fault if they die… when in reality its more like healer save if they live~ if that made sense?!
But overall yah, I think I am starting to like healing again around 7 keys @ 610 ish.
Just got KSM healing today. I love holy minus how worthless Light of Dawn has become. It’s been a ton of fun doing M+ as holy. Raids not as much of a fan… Don’t feel like I am making an difference even if healing charts say otherwise. Doesn’t feel as snappy or responsive or like I’m saving the day when you have a few other healers around.
With that said I still have the fear of every death in my fault that I’m trying to overcome. Trying to accept that some times a death couldn’t be stopped and you can’t heal through stupidity either from standing in avoidable stuff or not interrupting stuff. And when you get a full group of people like that it’s horrible.
Did a Heroic Grim Batol today that was harder than a +5 I did today all because people failed to manage mechanics. It should be an awakening that “some times I need to not blame myself, realize pugs can be crazy bad and it’s not on me if they die.”
DKs are scary man. I know I’m supposed to watch their runic power bar or something, the frames I use (healbot until I an figure out something better) don’t show runic power. And even if it did what am I gonna do if they do hit 0 runic power and start dying? Toss an ironbark and pray?
Also, rDruid ain’t feeling good. I don’t want to summon random casting trees that may or may not help with the situation. I want to catweave, but the catweaving talents are a joke.
I’m mostly playing hpal this season for healing so I’m hitting a button every GCD whether it’s for healing or not. My only complain is hpal specific, in that holy shock itself feels bad to press to heal, but you need to to generate holy power to actually heal.
Also while I have the podium, I really dislike healing BDK.
