Yup and I predicted it with my Shaman Farseer abilities.

the least enjoyable meta for me personally. For my tastes best meta is: hpal > mw monk > everything else.

Yea because from mage pov you can push an hpal for cc and there’s no counterplay he can do besides pre trade major cds

Isnt it the class fantasy to be against all odds?

curious if anyone thinks this will translate to rss? or is it still gibbed in the mega damp, scuffed comp

IMO: mw, rdru, hpriest

Healers that are primarily about throughput healing, not bopping someone’s go for a cheesy win (hpal) or having clearly the best kit for dampening (disc) or having an aoe falcon punch every 2 mins (pres) or having clearly the best anti-caster kit (rsham)

Those are all great for an active 3s ladder where you have a mix of meta comps duking it out and niche roles can complement those meta comps, but when there is 4-5x as much rss play, healers that just heal is best case scenario for balance

gross pve damp healers.

Just sit back and do nothing besides heal

Player base doesn’t like stopping drinks being the only kill condition :joy:

It was kind of hard to get drinks off with lifebloom ticking for like 20k into 7mil health bars

Ya, for rss, if priest hpal sham can effectively pve heal while offering so much more to secure kills or survive in damp, they dominate the ladder and make the others irrelevant (as they do now).

From drustvar, current healer rep @ 2.1+:

Dpriest 541 (46.04%)
Rsham 202 (17.07%)
Hpriest 152 (12.94%)
Hpal 112 (9.53%)
Rdru 67 (5.7%)
MW 59 (5.02%)
Pres 42 (3.57%)

If the meta favors throughput healers, you get much more balanced shuffle matches.

just 1 week till every1 gets 4 set, which is what enables rdruid to be this broken.

Ut oh, you’re going to get some random druid in here saying you’re wrong and its F tier.

Rdruid meta by far the least fun healer meta… Not going to talk about FW because I wish they would prune them.

give it afew weeks for meta to settle after the changes. not going to lie though much easier to heal with 4 set than having just 2 set.

rdruid is always great, it just takes a good player to actually run 'em well.
in a way, it’s one of a few class specs that’s protected against FOTM rollers <3

Rdruid wasn’t good at all last season

Not true.

I hate rdruid meta, but what do you think gets tuned in 2 weeks after awc?

For healing I’m predicting a rdruid tier and ancient of lore nerf, as well as a PoM and mastery nerf for Hpriest, and probably buffs to dream breath and reversion for evoker.

For dps hopefully mage gets a fundamental nerf to its survivability by hard targeting alter and/or shimmer/blink.

changes might come right after this first week of awc
