I mean at this rate, blizzard should just offer each account a free 70 boost for specifically a class with healing spec (as long as you have completed the campaign), which also starts with full blue crimson pvp gear (as long as you have a toon already with at least pvp ilvl 411). If you decide to change specs from healing to dps (ex: resto Druid to feral), you revert to level 10 and the crimson gear becomes unusable (therefore you need to level up organically for the dps spec).
Honestly I wouldn’t mind playing healer but no one wants to work their way up for gear in this dps dominant meta.
It’s simple. If there is a demand for healers, blizzard should provide easier methods to supplying healers in the game.
Of note, I would play resto but they get zuhzugged by double melee lol.
Weekly quests exclusive of solo queue. Fixed.
To be honest, I don’t know what needs to change to make healing feel better in solo shuffle.
All I can do is give feedback on what I find frustrating. And let someone with proper game design skills find the solution to these problems.
My main frustration as a healer: people die too quickly.
To me, this is the root cause of everything else.
Because they die too quickly:
- sometimes I just don’t have time to react
- CC feel too frustrating (I can’t do anything)
- I panic if they break line of sight (they could die in a few seconds)
- casted heals feel too slow (getting locked out means someone may die)
My suggestion would be to increase hp bars to make the game slower, and change dampening to increase mana cost instead of decrease healing done.
But I am sure this is a bad suggestion, and I am not a game designer.
Remove healers. Easiest fix that ever existed.
This 1 round and make the system banning you from playing with people you just played with for a while.
This will alleviate the need for dampening to start and creep up fast, making it a little more enjoyable for healers.
This will also help resolve the dilemma of tuning for rated 3s or solo shuffle.
