Think u got too used to playing an F tier spec that it somehow seems like you’re insanely busted when you’re simply finally performing at the required level which many healing specs have had the privilege of being in for the past few expansions.
Noooo leave us pandas alone. I wouldn’t mind slight tuning to their heals. The issue with that though is blizzard never nerfs rshams reasonably or lightly.
It’s not like disc priest where tomorrow’s “nerfs” are not really nerfs considering how negligible they are. For rshams: “oh, rshams are a bit overtuned and might need a slight adjustment?”
Healing surge now heals for 30% less
Healing Wave now heals for 25% less
Earthshield stacks are now consumed 30% faster and heal for 30% less
A new talent for restoration shaman has been added to replace ascendance: eternal subterfuge:: transform into an eternal being, increasing all healing by 5% and allowing the use of Earthshield on a 3rd target. Lasts 12 seconds- 3 minute cooldown. *we felt that ascendance was too powerful in healing people. This should help shaman feel like the mediocre healer they should be as per our vision for resto
Ancestral Swiftness now scales to 50% for both healing wave and surge we felt that ancestral swiftness was too strong and players used that button as a one-all solution. This should encourage a more diverse set of cooldown usage
Riptide healing increased by 3% this should help ensure our vision that riptide is the only heal shamans should press. For balance
For once, let’s try a season where all of the healers feel op in their own way. Make the role capable of being quarterback. It should feel like pve tanking where the character feels kind of overpowered in its role, but still very necessary to have the playbook memorized if that makes sense.
Right now healer is like playing left tackle or goalie. You can be a really good one but a lot of your best time is going to be wasted playing with random teammates if that’s the environment you’re put in. The random modes will be a lot more fun if there isn’t as much of an undesirable position that someone has to pick.
