Stop buffing PoH, do this instead to fix hpriest in M+:

Hey, I’ve been playing holy priest since TBC and I’m really unhappy about their performance in M+ right now. I think I have some good ideas for how to fix this issue, so I just wanted to post them in hopes maybe the right person will see it.

Here are some quick ways to fix holy priest in M+:

Holy Fire

  • Holy Fire now applies its DoT to every enemy it damages
  • Enemies affected by Holy Fire’s DoT have increased cast times
  • When enemies affected by Holy Fire’s DoT damage your allies, your allies gain a HoT that heals for a percent of the damage taken

Apotheosis

  • No longer on the GCD

Improved Renew (talent)

  • Improved Renew now has 2 charges and can be stacked (ie you can put multiple Improved Renews on one person)
  • Improved Renew now also reduces damage taken by 2% while the Renew ticks (this effect stacks)

Lasting Words (talent)

  • Casting a Holy Word on an ally affected by Renew now also spreads Renew to 2 allies, preferring allies not currently affected by Renew

New talent: Improved Prayer of Mending

  • Gives PoM fewer stacks and a longer cooldown
  • Makes the Power Word: Shield applied by PoM much stronger
  • When the shield breaks, the ally gains a HoT for a percent of the damage it absorbed

New talent: Holy Ghost

  • Causes Fade to reduce damage taken by additional 10%
  • Causes Holy Fire to now reduce the cooldown of Fade
