Disc should oom for doing the damage it does. It just brings too much. It needs a short fuse.

Disc was the worst healer before these changes, and is now even worst. The one thing keeping disc on life support in terms of throughput was a trait which makes their aoe heal instant and heal for more, but it costs an INSANE amount of mana. These changes make it so thats even worst than before. Disc is in the absolute gutter right now, and is ALSO the worst healer to get drinks.
Disc needs help, desperately. Their damage is fine, their attonement healing needs to be buffed. Ive seen good feral affinity rdruids who do far more damage than discs because they just get to sit in cat form more, meanwhile disc is crying and slamming their keyboard asking why shadow mend doesnt move their hp bar.

Disc isn’t tier 1 but they aren’t THAT bad. Hard to give a spec that craps damage and has a 15% damage boost to teammates on a 45sec cd a ton of throughput healing as well as longevity. Disc has clear strengths and weaknesses. Play the game instead of whinging on the forums.
blizzard I stuck with you through the 400% nerf to bm, but nerfing healers is silly, instead try and fix abilities until they are balanced.

Leave changes to mana there fine, disc always sucked once they nerfed weakened soul and focused will.
I’m sorry but this is really really really wrong, prior to the mana nerfs their weaknesses were very clear and their strengths were there but in their current state I can promise you no one in their right mind would value dark arch over ooming within 2 minutes.
I completely under stand where you’re coming from and I completely agree I feel as if people forget about this when discussing disc, but in their current state their strengths are next to nothing when weighed up against their weakness’

Name one healer spec that isnt objectively worst and less flexible than both priest specs in terms of pvp healing. Oh wait, there isnt one. The only argument you could possibly have is Rsham, and thats because Rsham doesnt get carried by Jungle/RMP which are just at their core/foundatain ALWAYS viable comps because of the way their DRs work. Beyond arguing viability, moreso lets just be up front and say the way disc plays right now is INCREDIBLY frustrating and unfun to play. Mouthfoaming monkeys just see the white hp bar and run at it until it flops. Its embarrasing.

Discs damage is fine. I honestly find rdruids with feral affinity more scary than disc in terms of offensive pressure, atleast in 2s. Also, dark arch is a 1 minute CD. I dont think you really know the position of disc priests if you dont even know the CD of Dark Arch, the main thing most people claim is even letting them have a spot on the RM train.
The change went way too far for all of the specs. 15-30% reduced regen to 45-55% is a huge jump. Druid and paladin should be 40, monk and disc should have been left alone or reduced by like 5% more than they were before. Idk about shaman.
It’s definitely not better than the meta before the change. Not that the meta before was good, but this is just terrible. If the point is to make kills more possible before dampening, the approach should have been a targeted output/throughput reduction and a smaller regen reduction for some of the specs. As it stands now you cannot even play your healing spec semi-correctly without ooming before a second go. It went way too far.
I think your biggest issue is trying to play a comp that isn’t in the meta for Disc priest. Insert Rdruid, Hpal, or Rsham into Ele/Mage and they will probably do consistently better then with a Disc priest. Unless your strategy is to win within 2 mins using Dark Archangel & Skyfury to burst hard, you wouldn’t win with that comp even without the mana changes.
It already had a short fuse. What?
I just pressed shadow mend on a warrior in 2’s and his hp bar only went down. He told me to get good but I don’t have mana to heal and my heals heal for nothing. I’m letting my sub run out for good, I don’t see any reason to give this company money.

problem with that is, even with my disc doing close to little dmg and just focusing on healing he will go oom in 2 minutes with the amount of burst thats in the game right now. meanwhile you have rdruids hitting 40k bites with feral affinity. but oh yeah disc does too much dmg. get real
