i think earthshield is directly affected by the + healing on the gear so it would make sense (as long as earthshield is up) that they would be tankier.
but its not by much if they are getting focused like all healers.
i think what he misses and what you are missing (though i think you were just joking) is the settings and skills and abilities and over all balance around those skills has changed and if you were really looking to change up the balance those would be things that would at least deserve a look at.
Templar hero tree getting fat buffs in retail on Tuesday I tell ya hwhat
but yeah there are base skills that could use looking at, mage needs buff but counterspell being 10 SECONDS is INSANE in this version of the game. we probably should have nerfed damage while bubbled (the people who say it should be NO damage are absolutely tripping) but there are other things that should be adjusted too.
I have given up on investing time in this game for now but I still wanna see them make it better
honestly though ive played a pally to max a few times i can say its one of the most boring classes to play for me .
honestly being able to bubble and be immune to nearly all cc and damage (hehe balefire bolt) and being able to 2 global people with nearly 10k hp from 100% is a bit much.
though i will say getting a purge spam on a pally who isnt bubbled and nerfing all that damage kinda is a bit much too.
so ya there are other things that are just crazy that are base game skills in the current setting.
in classic yeah it’s pretty boring, pretty fun in retail, it’s very straightforward and easy to pick up, right now it’s not too hot in arena but it’s ok in BG blitz. getting big buffs when we get the updated judgement set too, super hype
it’s fun in SoD too, but not when you try to rank and have a bunch of throwers
Bro i have a shaman and im telling you they are literally EZ mode. They arent the tankiest class i play, theyre the tankiest class in the game. Like its hilarious how much better shamans are than everyone else. They essentially dont have a resource system because its infinite! They dont go oom, EVER.
You dont even need to listen to this dude talk, watch his duel with the shaman. Full mana full HP at the end of the fight. Kekw yea theres nothing wrong with that
