You’re literally making up the healing numbers, though. It doesn’t heal for as much as you say it does.
The cool thing about math and numbers is that they’re true whether you believe them or not. An 8700 smend crit is about 30% of my 27000 hp pool. Not 70%. No priest is stacking crit either, so even this number is rare. Usually it’s about 4500-5000.
It’s also extremely hard to use properly. I remember when it was first introduced. I had the hardest time in MoP getting used to it. Those new to spriest in arena will struggle to react. Took me years to get used to.
All hybrid healing is pretty nutty right now in comparison to BfA. Singling out Shadow doesn’t make sense when Enhance tops themselves just as easily without casting and Ret heals just as much as both enemy healers during an entire match.
Thats only during wings and if it crits. So if you spend time using wog instead of templar during wings you’re on the backhand of where you should be.
Also when dampening kicks in wog is healing for almost nothing. In 2s I can’t even outheal an arms or ww with 25% dampening and 25% ms on top of it, it heals for 5k on a 20% health target.
It’s just padding and cleave.
Anyway it’s gonna be nerfed again because it’s ret. Doesn’t remove the point that mindgames is kinda toxic. Keep the healing absorption but removes the damage upon healing. It’s double dipping so hard.
It was never 5, it was 4, now it is 3 after an effective 50%ish nerf. The real problem is blizzards design on the conduits. If you ran both ret dmg conduits for a 5m arena, they would do damage equal to one ring of clarity proc. The other ones need brought up to make them useful. Aside from that its 50/50 to be 5k or 15k, rng damage is a bad design imo.
We also never asked for this, we wanted long arm of the law back and they cranked our damage just to likely nerf us some time in the next 6mo and leave us crippled movement and damage. #retlife
Its just insane to think that a shadow priest is wearing cloth but is tankier than anyone else especially those wearing plate???
Idk why casters are so tanky right now they have insane damage and cc and usually mobility while attacking at range, they shouldnt have healing or survivability on top of it. Wheres the trade off?
what mobility does a spriest have? we also really only have one spell school. if we get kicked we can’t do anything, and all melee has 100% uptime on us. you’re complaining about a non-issue while playing a class that does more single target damage than we do spread pressure. This is a skill issue, nerfs aren’t needed.
imagine abusing tsg, and complaining about casters. zug zug harder I guess
Youre making a lot of assumptions, Like me playing tsg which isnt even what i play. You even said we do more single target which is funny because thats not even remotely true shadow does insane damage.
You say you have no mobility but i guess there arent enough wrinkles in your brain to remember that you have disperse and door of shadows because obviously youre playing venthyr because youre to greasy to use anything except mindgames so thats my assumption of you
