Is anyone else having problems with healing spells being sufficient for the squishiness of ret? As ret, my Word of Glory barely heals me for anything (maybe 10%), which seems like a huge change from Shadowlands. I saw where they buffed WoG by 40% for prot, but why not for all specs? Even on world trash packs, I’m finding myself dropping to 15% or below for any pack of 2 or more. Everything seemed balance and fine until hitting 70, at which point I guess scaling normalized and now it just seems difficult to deal with trash even.

thats due to the health/mob damage changes they did.
Are there plans to buff WoG and other healing spells to align with the health buffs they did? Increasing the amount of health players have without consequently increasing abilities to heal make it very hard to survive 2-3 lvl 70 mobs while I see tank classes running in and pulling 10 at a time, burning them down seemingly quicker than ret, and barely losing any health.
I think they only changed HP not damage, the damage is just too high atm for how long the mobs are staying alive. Having to WoG myself 4x in a battle with 3 mobs is pretty gross. Healing Hands needs a PVE buff for sure.

no, they said healing was too OP, the only thing they changed are the non % based heal tanks.
no its both, they changed mob DMG and player health.

if you are not taking the lay on hands lowers cd based on health healed its objectively wrong tbh
I am taking it and it’s still a 3m CD when used at low HP.
There have definitely been challenges. I find myself having to rely on my cooldowns to a very uncomfortable degree so far. Normally, 5 mobs was easily doable with a burst rotation but now I need to pop DS and SoV far more often to keep from dying.
I’m liking Dragonflight less and less as time progresses…
Yes, even with the talents buffing it, I haven’t been able to do huge pulls solo.
My solution was to just swap to prot when I want to take 10+ mobs at once. It’s pretty much unkillable.
As someone with a ton of experience as ret i def feel the hardship of leveling and fighting mobs at lvl 70, idk if mobs are overtuned, but man, lets say that you want a full dps build and cant afford healing hands, wog does 15% of your hp and its almost impossible to make a wog feel worth at all.
Reminds me of Cata/MoP times. WoG heals then were relatively small if I remember correctly.
I guess the devs now can pat themselves on the shoulder that they “buffed” JV.
Really curious how this all works out when I finally will buy the expac (if at all). In the meantime: thanks for beta testing Dragonflight live for me.
