This season is a disaster IMO. I’m running 402 ilvl, resto druid, just under 2200 rating.
It makes no sense. We serve no real purpose. If the team is doing their job, dps have so many CDs that they really need almost no healing. Tanks too are almost invincible IF they know how to run their CDs properly and know mechanics.
That’s a ‘big IF’, because many don’t. In which case the damage is so overtuned that I have no way to making up the difference. So either I’m completely useless, or have no chance, but at no point does it feel good/fun.
Add that to the endless 1-shot mechanics. By the time you hit 15+, every single boss mechanic is a 1-shot. 30mins of straight, absolutely perfect gameplay, to be basically inconsequential is NOT what I signed up for.
If it wasn’t for timers, we’d just be running 5-man tank groups.
I have no idea what the devs were thinking, but I have never seen anything balanced so terribly.
I should also mention, the camera issues in many dungeons make seeing sht on the ground near impossible (Jade Temple is horrible for this, but most dungeons have 2-3 pulls that are just ‘wtf who thought this made sense’ bad).
On top of that, the occasional bug that ruins a whole run because 1 wipe = no timer for you…
