"Shaman
Translation - We see that Resto Shammy is fun to play now and you are enjoying playing it, we can’t have fun—Nerf incoming.
Resto will be fine, esp in m+. Doubt it will even be noticeable most of the time.
I was more surprised with other stuff that happened.
All this really means is that I will have a little less over healing.
I specced my Ele to Resto for a few keys, at 395. I was blown away at how absurdly powerful their healing was compared to my 417 priest. I have a feeling it’ll be fine.
@Akston-area-52
I was just referring to they said that they are happy with the reception that its getting now, so let’s reduce healing.
What other stuff?
hey, thats what happened to me!
Well of course people are happy with it now. Its incredibly strong. Most resto shams gimp themselves about 15% on their m+ healing already by swapping to the dps Onyx ring instead of the healing ones.
I completely expected some adjustments. I just expected other adjustments on some other specific healers, too.
That being said, r sham will still be a very strong pick still for healing. M+ and Raid.
People often enjoy things that are overtuned.
They’re going to be fine.
Blanket nerf instead of balancing the power of healing spells.
Single target healing is awful in raids. Raid healers dont even cast healing surge or healing wave anymore because of how bad they are.
Let’s not fix poor single target healing… let’s just blanket nerf everything and buff the crap out of evokers.
Shaman will be a popular choice for m+ healing? We’ll see. Before the buffs there was no reason whatsoever to pick them over evokers… This change just made that true again. With the change to being able to run high keys with 4 dps, you’re telling me people will still invite the healing class that got an unneeded huge blanket nerf to all healing?
Yeah ok.
You are bad at priest if this is your experience.
I think it’s very funny that they’re immediately doing a massive blanket nerf to Resto Shaman right after making it the top healer for the first time this expansion.
Did they overshoot the Resto Shaman buff in 10.0.7? Probably.
It’s still funny though.
Evokers got dumpstered as you got overbuffed and i was still being picked for keys.
Again, sky isn’t falling.
Almost as if the goal is to try to achieve balance and not just alternate who gets to be busted.
Sky isnt falling. Still no need for a blanket 5.5% nerf when there’s completely useless aingle target healing spells already.
This change is lazy.
People pretending a 395 r sham is better than a 417 priest is so absurdly dumb.
How am I bad at priest for saying that my lower geared shaman put out comparably strong heals compared to my geared priest? I didn’t even say it did more healing, just at how strong it was for the gear level.
But, seeing how you think the sky is falling despite Resto being overall improved, yeah, you’re not in a position to tell me I’m bad lol
Didn’t say that. All I said was I was surprised how much healing I could pump out. Please get over yourself.
Sure. Its lazy. But it will also have like…next to no impact in m+. Raiding probably a little more up in the air.
You answered your own question. This is ridiculous.
You almost dont need healers at all in m+. You’re telling me it wont matter to people that a healing class just got a big blanket nerf?
Ok.
…what?
I already self nerfed myself like 15% by not using the healing onyx ring because I dont need it. If you “almost dont need healers” in m+, then a nerf…shouldnt matter? Because r sham heals are easily more than 5.5% strong enough for m+. Sheesh, I do like 30% or more overhealing regularly with super CHs and Cloudburst.
Good/organized teams almost don’t need healers at all, if they take very specific comps with good offhealing.
Randoms absolutely need a healer.
Except it’s not. That’s why Resto is getting a healing nerf, and it’s still going to be fine because every healer takes the dmg ring.
They’ve buffed HPriest healing three times now, so my experience healing on priest at 395 up through 417 has been totally different from healing on Resto so far at 395. Clearly my priest is stronger but you’re actually just lying to yourself if you felt like Resto’s healing wasn’t any good at all this patch.
That is not the same thing as you claiming I said my shaman was BETTER than my priest.
This is how I know you don’t know what you’re talking about. Highly organized groups with specific comps don’t need healers… I can assure you 99.9% of other groups do. lol
