What do others not understand about the class/spec you play?

Ill start, On warlock when using Burning Rush as im going to the next pack is not the end of the world, We can use health stones, healthpots, or siphon health from an add, The healers understand it so they don’t panic but i noticed its the other dps players that freak out about it sometimes lol

(oh btw huge QoL, you can attach cancelaura for burning rush on ur casting skills with a macro if ur prone to forgetting)

Stand in the ****ing Totem and circles.

Healing Rain? They run out.

Earthen Wall? They run out.

Spirit Link? They run out. (Major 3-minute cooldown, and basically a Shaman’s “Oh ****” button.)

Like, maybe instead of complaining about lack of heals, you should be complaining about how you don’t stand in stuff that’s me trying to keep you alive lol.

Most frustrating in PvP because everyone is galloping around like a frightened horse.

AoE healing should maybe follow people, idk. It’s currently bad with ground-based stuff.

I just had a tank freak out last weekend. He thought he missed a group and it was killing use when he ran ahead. I explained it to him.
On my Mage: If the tank loses a mob, it really is a big deal if its running at the mage (lesser if its a Frost mage). However I am glad this issue isn’t as big of a deal as it was before TWW.

On Ret: Things die, IF i get crits they die faster, however if I don’t get procs then yes…i’m basically slapping the mobs for a few seconds its not the end of the world.

On my Bear tank: DPS don’t freak out, yes the healer is DPSing, no I don’t need constant attention from them.

I don’t think I do anything that others don’t as arcane lol! I think it’s more likely I’m missing something :joy: maybe one thing I will mention is decurse and the power of spell steal. I made a healer and don’t see many mages doing those things too much. But I’m only doing low level mythics right now.

I just know that the pre made mythic arcane talent builds in most sites have those spells included as they do have uses in many of the dungeons.

I always thought there should be 2 versions, 1 that has the same old ground totems and another that is a Spirit that follows your target.
Could make the Totems more AoE, and the Spirit Single target. Casting a Spirit when its totem is down causes the totem to despawn and the same the other way around.

I think there should be at this point.

Everyone is so mobile, yet several of my spells are ground-targeted, and I basically have to aim where people are going to be.

It adds a whole other layer on top of the fact Shaman are pretty button-bloated lol.

Probably one of the more complicated healing classes, which is funny because it’s also recommended for noobs.

i mained prot war for S1 and i thought it was so fun in pvp till i played blitz, the amount of rogues that would just snatch caps in from of you and you literally cant do anything lol i actually quit for a month, came back, swapped to fury and never looked back, i got flamed so hard it changed my perspective on pvp lmao im still hurting from it

DH tanks as well, they need to keep going to keep their buffs up.

Yes, my HP is supposed to fly around like that

ya for warrior, instead of aiming my champ spear, i just macro it to target where i am, so i stun the enemy, charge em, hit macro and they are tethered to me for the most part, something they get away if they play mage but ya i hate aiming abilities lol, have few like this on hunter too

Don’t worry lol, I get dumpstered pretty regularly in Blitz, because it’s much easier for other healers in terms of both damage and healing output.

I’ve got a lot of tools, but like I said earlier, it require cooperation on my team’s part lol.

Priests regularly run over me, hoping for a buff soon. At least in PvP.

I can’t just DoT people and forget about it (aside from Flame Shock) and all my of DPS spells are nature-based (Acid Rain, Chain Lighting, and Bolt), so if interrupted, I can’t heal at all.

Can only really do Lava Burst when it’s instant from procs, and that’s it.

It’s mega-risky.

When when I’m raid healing and standing in mechanics that I’m not trying to parse or being lazy or whatever. I passively heal myself for almost 30% of the healing I do and it’s oftentimes more advantageous to just take the hits and heal others than it is to stop casting and run around all over the place.

Taking hits and sometimes even dying is intentional and maximizes my contribution towards group success.

You can outplay most people with double ravager (spins while you’re in cc that aren’t clones) and heroic throw spam, but the spec is still pretty awful versus real people. :dracthyr_uwahh_animated:

I’m not standing there doing nothing, not doing jumping jacks, or having an aneurism. i got a lot of instants to lay down. hand up, hand up, hand up lol

but really there ain’t much that people dont know about druids already

that they have utility they could use (ret pal) should be one the least amount of deaths as a dps in the game but they somehow forget they have bubbles or a heal lmao.
