Thank you for looking out for the big eared folk

For Murloc’s sake… I heal with certain classes, because it’s more involved or unique and not boring like 3 or 4 button droolfest Hunter specs…

Or they think innervate is somehow of the same worth as PI and we’re getting put in the priest corner.
Hopping theyre just gonna make the spot solar beam for resto as a sorta we dont wanna balance kittyweaving so here’s a caster buff thing.
Why the heck is Mind Blast in the general tree btw? Have to invest in that now just to get scream? 
Holy priest can spec to fill that role now.
Flash heal, serenity and prayer of mending. Enjoy.

No Spirit Bloom? Well, time to retire my Evoker. Rather they got rid of blossom.
They’ve talked about slowing down healing for 3 expansions now. They never seem to do it. Its unlikely they will pull it off this time.
Also, resto shaman are losing healing surge. Who’s making these design decisions?

Oh it will be if you spec into that new serenity talent that removes sanctify. I laughed when I went through the hpriest changes.

Prevoker is my 2nd main. I can’t even begin to explain how much I love thinking from moment to moment which combo to use on which players, can the tank survive this, should I ST or AOE… One reason I love it is because it is hard.
I do not want healing dumbed down! It does not need to be simpler.
I need to stop thinking about this or I will begin to froth at the mouth. If I read those dev notes I might have a 2nd stroke.
Holy youknowwhat.

Rshaman changes are wild also… but yeah Pres looks weird from reading those notes.
Can’t believe they are removing kicks for an other healer lol
Crusading Strikes but for Holy Priest, how lovely lol.
Holy and Disc laughing in the background

I’ve been around long enough to know how it is going to turn out.
They (MicroBlizz) will mess it up and then people will stop running as heals, people will shout there is a lack of healers, they’ll half fix it, and it will be broken the rest of the xpac and they will claim they listened to the community but will do better “next time”.

I mean, that’s a reasonable take given Blizzard’s track record. I’m just not going to jump to conclusions within a couple hours of alpha starting.
I do indeed hope I am incorrect!
I finally got cell and plater set up exactly the way I want them and now it’s all going away. Restoration shammy is in a great place. There is no reason to delete spells and/or fundamentally change how the spec works. This game is ancient, there are not tons of new gamers waiting to play wow all thinking, “dang, if only there was fewer buttons I’d play wow like an addict!”
Can’t wait to drop one totem and spam my one healing spell. Oh look, my team is slowly rotting. Guess I’ll cast another chain heal……
I have zero faith or trust in blizzard remotely getting any of this right.
All of this feels like change for the sake of change. Apparently they learned nothing from mop.

I think the opposite is going to happen. They are going to make it so stupid simple to play that everyone heals, but its so mindless to play that the good heaelers die of boredom.
I think they are aiming at the younger generations that all grew up playing Roblox.
The writing was on the wall for Oracle hero builds. That spell was never making it past this expansion, and I knew it. They just didn’t want to redo the tree mid-expansion.
It being changed to “you can cast 2x of penance/prayer of mending” and giving some of the tier 3 set bonuses added in makes sense.
Oracle was fun, but complicated and I hated playing it, but felt “forced” to because it was objectively the best in lots of content. Especially PVP. Like no one plays voidweaver or archon in PVP.
I feel like I’ve heard all of this before
