The lack of casting is boring - trash meta is trash

Honestly. Don’t even know why I play this garbage.

Hey blizzard, I think holy palis need ONE more sac and maybe another two bops. Also, I see they have to cast like… two spells now. Why aren’t those instant as well?

Holy hell this meta is boring af. Just went up against a fire mage and sub rogue. We get bop and can’t dispel. Get block. Then get bop again. Then In the middle there cheat death. on the rogue. Then another block. Then evasion. Then toss in a few sacs. lol? WHY NOT JUST MAKE EVERYTHING IMMUNE ALWAYS? It’s like I didn’t do anything for a solid 20s while the pali instant heals everyone back to full while nothing is dying. Incredible stuff. Riveting game play Blizzard. Wonderfully done!

How many cds do we need to burn through? Not to mention games are lasting ages.

Holy pally healing should be mostly instant cast since it’s the only healer with 0 passive healing while in cc

Sub rogue is unkillable no matter what healer they play with.

Sure, but that’s why you get bop, sac, and bubble.

You can almost immediately stop pressure on a target. For a solid 3-4 minute, they just have an answer for every go. I mean, clearly something has changed here. I’m having back to back 20+ minute long games. Thankfully queues seems to be short atm, but these games are really getting drawn out.

by product of crowd control being nerfed. Every healer can drag games super long into deep deep damp if they have the mana for it. Issue with hpal is that you are impossible to oom. Hpal mana restoration needs some big nerfs.

Not going to argue with a pali atm. Sorry dude. I’d love for your spec to be great (if holy is your thing) and viable, but this isn’t fun right now.

Of my last 6 games, all but 1 was double holy pali.

Also, lol at the double ret, double holy pali…

It was pretty fast the last ss we just played. All the rounds were less than 3 minutes according to details.

Yeah its true we don’t have cast flash of light anymore really. We do cast denounce though.

Games were shorter, but that was in part because of the 280cr holy pali on the other team. Still was longer then most though. I played again right after and games were long. The game with the mage/rogue felt like it was 25+ minutes. Nothing was dying.

I agree with this.

You kinda just come onto the forums to complain these days, huh?

I swear 9/10 of your forum posts are just the product of you going on a losing streak in RSS.

Not even close to true, but oh well. I haven’t been on a losing streak, just floating around 2k-2.2 for awhile now.

If you don’t agree, then so be it. The meta isn’t fun. Should I post somewhere else? Should I just not post? Should we just leave the forums for the trolls? I mean, put me on ignore man. Not sure what to say. Is there some valuable content that is coming out of the forums these days I’m missing?

Oh… my bad man. I didn’t think it was that deep. Just did a post history on you.

I didn’t mean to… hurt your feelings? idc. I’ll just walk away at this point.

Oh, well, sorry my posts offended you. Dunno what to say. I look forward to you crusading against all the troll posts and cleaning this place up!

Clearly my complaints and honest frustrations are beneath you. Apologies that I forced you to click on this and read and respond.

You ok bro? This meta got you feeling… a little green?

Nah, it’s the new 1800 armor enchant! Green glow!

Couldn’t be me. I haven’t even passed 1k this season. Yall are crazy

Flash of light, holy light, tyr’s deliverance, Denounce, and Rep are all spells Hpals cast regularly. Not trying to troll, but I cast about as much on Hpal as I do every other healer besides Disc, (who has 2 schools of magic to counter the casting requirement).

Not trolling either, though it seems humor isn’t allowed here. That makes Brancia very angry. :frowning:

All things aside, I get that. You guys do cast, but it’s pretty limited and it doesn’t feel like you’re casting much if anything when under pressure.

But since you mentioned it, of about the last 30 or so rounds, holy light and flash of light account for about 10-15% of the total healing done on the high end.

Most games seem to be like this.

Or this.

Tyr’s is a weird one. I have seen some even cast it prior to them even engaging anyone. Seems like a waste, but I’m still learning the mechanics of it.

Regardless, there is very little casting happening at all. There is no blame or hate for the players. It’s just isn’t fun to play against.

Kind of has to be man. I sincerely feel for you in a BoP meta, genuinely–but if healers had to cast you’d need to prune every DPS class quite a bit, IMO.

oh it’s a shuffle thread

That’s why I just backed off.
