Priest healer is RIP, can shadow not be worst dps now?

People act like there’s not already a bunch of +spellpower gear on most players.
This nerf really only hurts the fresh/lower priests.

That and I do think priest rune heals are WAY under cost for what they do.
Alternatively, other class rune heals are WAY over cost for what they do.

For example:
Lifebloom: 134 (67 after mana return) / 402 (201) mana. Ticks for 12~/25~ seven times for a total of 84~/175~ with a final pop of 118~ / 353~ for a final total of 202~/528~. Also, stacks of Lifebloom have diminishing return, further discouraging from a three stack.

vs

Penance: 79 mana. Ticks for 140 three times for a total of 420.

One Penance vs one Lifebloom stack is 79 for 420 total healing vs 134/67 for 202 total healing. That’s if Lifebloom fully blooms over 7 seconds vs the Penance 2 second channel.

This is done with a almost bis rdruid vs a fresh 25 priest btw, which is even more baffling.

Math is off. You are comparing ONE stack of Bloom with one penance…cept Penance is on a 12 second cooldown. So lets bring in the 3 stack Lifebloom for a true comparison since it would take roughly 12 seconds to get off 3 stacks and let it bloom.

So now we back to:

Penance 79 mana 420 total
LB 201 mana 528.

Penance is still superior tbh but you cant do a mana/power comparison unless you include ALL the factors.

Thats like comparing Homuncal Armor debuff to Warriors but only using one stack of the warriors of it (The rune has a XX second reapply to the armor debuff)
