Since a group in m+ just did a +24 with no healers, will blizzard buff our HP and also increase damage done by mob to make healing harder as blizzard did in the beginning in S2? Or will they nerf off heal and nerf healing done by all healers?
Blood DKs are the only thing that should be allowed to heal

Neither hopefully?
Them doing it wasn’t necessarily a demonstration that healers aren’t needed just that hybrid classes piloted by pros can do it.

If they nerf healing any more I’m sure we’ll have another mass exodus of healers lol. Just because pros can accomplish something, doesn’t mean average players can

Considering they buffed all hybrid healing that allows this last season and now it doesn’t seem like this was intended to be changed.

And yet people will still argue, “There is no shortage of healers” when they try to argue for healers dps’ing more and not healing.
In other news, Blizzard needs to stop paying attention to niche comps like that. It’s clearly not the majority of the playerbase, yet they always react to this sort of thing like it is.
Everything is dumb. Rawr.

Hopefully neither. Tanks should be able to keep themselves alive, tanks dying all the time really makes M+ kind of suck. Most dps should have good self-healing and even offhealing, it’s so frustrating to watch yourself slowly die because you have no defensives left (ask your local hunter how that feels). Finally, buff passive healer dps a lot and active healer dps a little.

They will ease off on it after all the healers (including those who stopped healing or quit the game because of this) adapt, git gud, and start pushing keys.
No they’ll buff DPS and tank off heals more and further nerf Healers and then in 11.0 they’ll just straight up delete all healer specs.
wish there was a way i could figure out to actually poll wow healers that quit healing recently to ask them why
i mean i could do it on the forums but forum opinions are to be taken with a grain of salt. and bad sample size

Nope. It’s far enough into the gearing that this was bound to happen. We saw the same thing last season, too. They didn’t do that twice, just once. We all knew once the gearing was higher, this would even back out.

aside from checking prot pals idk how they could prevent this
to design dungeons that couldnt be done no healer would be really unpleasant for the majority of the player base. damage is the win condition. how do you get more damage? if you can live, you chuck the healer and grab a dps
no buff RDRUID DAMAGE

I have recently started healing! The main reason is that it makes getting groups much faster! The second reason is that if I’m just extra in 24s, that means I don’t have to be that good in a 15s

Take Avenger’s Shield away from Prot Paladins and give it to Guardian Druids.
Rename it Avenger’s Sneeze.

Honestly what bear needs is a complete re-think and re-design from the ground up.
That spec is being held back by TBC/Wrath era gameplay at this point.

Or just target where the actual problem is…prot paladin healing.
When you’re a flat out busted tank and capable of serving as a healer to yourself and your party when their own self sustain and defensives aren’t gonna cut it…you got a problem.

Or maybe don’t just nerf all the unavoidable HPS checks week 1 when people forum whine that the dungeons are too hard.
