Every other healer got insane tier sets that buff their damage a ton. MW got a nerf.
Harmonic Surge could be buffed up to same amount it heals for and it still wouldn’t be OP.
It used to be the premium damage healer, battling for first place. Now it’s battling for last place with Holy Paladin and Holy Priest.

It still averages 10-20% more than both holy specs. Preservation just makes all the other healers look bad. I do think fistweavers should be at least on par with voidweaver disc though and could use some buffs. Doesn’t make sense for shaman to be doing more. And I have no idea why pres does so much right now.
I have a theory Pres does a lot of damage right now to get more people to play Evoker. And also maybe they’re testing to see if people want to play healers that can do more DPS vs lower DPS and being more healbot focused.
This is meaningless. It needs a significant buff. MW’s damage is supposed to be their utility or the compensation for having none. If mw’s damage is low there’s no appeal to taking them. Brings nothing to comp you can’t get from someone else while slotting in a far superior healer for survivability. An extra 10% healer damage in a season where dps do like 8m overall feels like nothing. We’re doing s1 damage in s3 with stuff significantly harder. You know how hard it is to execute anything because by the time it’s in ToD range the 10 billion damage per sec people blew it up? I even untalent it sometimes and take wind walk instead. Doing above average clearly isn’t enough to benefit mw in any sort of way and isn’t competitive or even helpful. 703k dps? On the thing with 60 billion hp? Whoa there slow down you might make that pull take half a second less than an hpriest.
The top 3 healers for damage also have some of the best utility in the game. They sacrifice nothing for decadence. MW’s have to compete with average or inferior damage and average or inferrior healing and clearly inferior or nonexistent utility. You might find your way into a phys comp but this is under the impression people wouldn’t prefer a brew or ww monk if they absolutely want the mystic touch buff. The shaman mastery buff for phys is also only a 1-2% dps difference from mystic touch iirc, so you could just drop that and have shaman make up for it by doing way more damage than mw while having excellent utility and a lower cd ranged kick.

Or they just specifically want to try to elevate evoker because it is the least played class in the game. But the bottom 3 classes are rogue, monk, and evoker, so putting mw down to attain this seems like it would be counterintuitive for this purpose. They want people to play rshaman and rdruid and disc. They don’t want you to play mw for whatever reason.
I usually call conspiracy but they actually just friggin buffed pres dps. It was baffling when I saw the notes. My pres does more dps than my MW on both single and aoe targets while being more than 20ilvls lower. Honestly when I was still in DF gear I was doing the same dps on my pres as my monk 
Yes please. It’s long overdue
more importantly we need Jadefire to have its own button again and our kick back and sith lightening heals
