Mass Dispel used to cleanse ALL targets inside its radius, and remove a beneficial magical effect from all enemies. Since it’s been nerfed into oblivion with a 2 minute timer as well as no longer being able to cast faster, it should cleanse/purge ALL targets. MD is only a dispel, it doesn’t heal or anything. Monks have a massive heal/uncapped dispel on a roughly similar cooldown.
Only being able to clean/purge 5 targets is pretty trash for how long the CD is now, and how slow it has to be cast.
ALSO!
FADE needs to have at least 2 seconds of not being able to be struck. One of the old/awesome combos, especially in RBG, but also useful in arena, was to fade into a mass dispel to avoid getting trucked by DoT protection like UA or mini fear from VT. Seems like there’s been too many nerfs to priest utility and mechanics.
Agreed entirely. Also, it really sucks when I hit fade in pvp right as CC connects to me, I still get cc’d, and fade goes on CD anyway. With latency, fade’s 1 second protection is really just a half second.
Happens all the time. I’ll get dragon breathed or something, but I not only heard fade go off first, but it’s also on cooldown, yet I’m blinded by breath
I mean you quite literaly typed your answer. Monks have that… That means other class have it = priests cannot have that.
Source: pw: gfy blue post from beta.
Priest used to have uncapped MD, but it was nerfed since our CD was so short to bring it in line with other classes. It was then further nerfed due to being the M+ meta to cheese entire affixes or mechanics. So by your logic Monks should lose their ability since it was too similar to Priest and we should get our stuff back? I don’t know, your argument just seems dumb.
Priests should have the old MD if it’s going to be slow and on a 2 min CD, period. It wouldn’t break the M+ meta since there’s only 5 players in M+ anyway, and it wouldn’t break other metas for raid or RBG since it’s still going to be a long cd. And unlike monk, it’s a targeted area of effect as where monk has huge range w/ out aiming.
By blizzard logic my guy. The point completely flew over your head.
It was the exact reasoning blizzard gave us in DF beta big blue post regarding to not having stun silence knockback kick etc etc etc…they didnt want to gave us anything and the reason was “other classes have it”. Hence the blue topic was called Power word: go something yourself.
Have to agree with Duzurix here.
It was all listed out by the wow dev during DF beta.
It was a giant disconnect and slap in the face to the playerbase.
Priest very rarely gets any feedback and so then when we actually do, it’s a giant list of NO because other classes have it or for PvP reasons.
It left a bad taste in my mouth and I assume that of many other Priest players.
I can only assume they fired off those points with either not being fully thought through or it came from a point of contention or anger or frustration because most of the reasons were very flimsy as it indicated that they were not consistent when it came to other classes as I think that same update, mages got a heal from ice block? Or an absorb or something and hunter got a leech effect similar to Vampiric Embrace?
I can’t recall exactly, but it was enough to show that Priest design is beholden to an entirely different set of rules and standards that the other classes don’t seem to be held to.
So I can only hope that they will revisit these points and design priest with the same rules as other classes moving forward. Because as it stands now, the priest playerbase really just got a confirmation that we are in fact handled differently and our potential is directly being held back for inconsistent reasons that give off the sense that someone in the dev team want a permanent punching bag class and priest is the unfortunate one that drew the short straw in that regard.
And then you look at shamans with two stuns, knockback, slow, root, displacement via the static totem, kick, sprint in wolf, dispell, polymorph, ground and heroism. Lets go.
Everyone ignoring that Priest was uncapped MD for years and Monk is a new class. Revival is completely different from MD other than the fact they both dispel. If anything, remove dispels from a massive raid heal cooldown and give Priest back their utility… my guy.
You just dont get it. Nobody is fighting with you. Nobody is disagreeing with you.
We just simply stated that blizz wont change anything. And gave you even the reasoning behind that statement.
Ok so like 10 targets, still needs to be at least that then. 5 targets is garbage for a 2 min cd that is hard cast. The only niche thing about it is that it can purge some immunity effects.
