Feral Sunfire needs to be nerfed…

24

Not supposed to be balanced at level 25 for all classes in pvp. Sounds like you want to play retail.

Feels like retail with immortal priests

According to this board everything is overpowered

I have seen a topic on every class and faction whining they need a nerf

Instances aren’t hard. I’ve literally healed them all on my HPal while still leveling with almost entirely the 2.5 second cast Holy Light and still room to dps a bit.

1–Log in to the game
2–Press Escape/Open Main Menu
3–Options
4–Interface
5–Scroll down to Display section
6–“Show enemy cast bar” check the box

You can now see the Penance cast bar. I don’t know why this option isn’t on by default but you have to enable it manually and then you can see all enemy cast bars.

I have that on. All other cast bars show up except pennance

31

Strange do you use any addons? I don’t, have the box checked and I see Penance cast bars.

32

I have a few addons, yeah, but nothing that interacts with the default unit frames, not sure why pennance is the only one I dont see, maybe cause it’s channeled?

33

Perhaps, it may also be some weird bug with whatever addons you do use. Perhaps test it without addons, turn them all off and then duel a friend and see if you can see their penance cast.

Beyond that I really don’t know.

34

Yeah, ill give that a shot tonight when i get home from work, recently updated threat plates for 1.15, so maybe that will have pennance on it at least

1 tick of penance is 180 healing… hardly what anyone would consider ‘an absurd amount of healing’

So almost 600 hp over 2 seconds?

Umm, my Shaman Healing Wave, now 50% chance to replicate at 50% effectiveness. Does over 600 hp heals every 2.5 sec, no 12 sec cd for me and can crit increase armour by 25% which penance can’t and I can run Water Shield and Shamanistic Rage with Overload and have far more mana sustain then any Priest.

I’m telling you Horde and Shaman are absolutely being slept on. It’s great, although I’m struggling to find use for Healing Rain currently PvP and BFD simply don’t need it. Prefer Overload though.

Can’t wait for phase 2 when chain heal has a 50% chance to replicate it’s going to be insane!, but further pushes out Healing Rain :man_shrugging:t4:.

Cool, except that’s a), all backloaded, and b) is 600hp overall, not single target. When pvp is mostly about single target burst, saying your 2.5s cast, backloaded, aoe healing spell heals for more is not actually that big a deal.

True phase 2 we get Natures Swiftness, heavy cd though in it but for that insane clutch heal will feel great.

But while Healing Wave is backloaded with a cast time, I have no difficulty Earth Shock Penance, they do get 1 heal off though, which is minor but I usually harass the priest, earth shock is up every 6 sec which feels great when they have a 12 sec cd Penance and lock them out of Holy spells.

When you think about it, is your Shaman watching the Priest? I feel like some organisation especially in PvP helps.

Earth Shock rank 1 does everything at max besides damage, and only 30 mana!. Literally one tick of Water Shield covers the cost!.

We don’t have shamans across the pond :stuck_out_tongue:
