We all know r druid is S tier
we all know prevoker is S tier
where do the other healing specs fall?
do u think if blizzard buffed the other healers… maybe we would see more healers willing to play solo shuffle?
would argue that no healers are s tier right now
with rdruid and evoker being A+ and rsham being A-/B+ tier, mw is prolly b- tier, hpally/disc/holypriest c-.
does it matter?

i dunno. why comment if it doesnt matter?
odd
Because you asked a question and he answered that it doesn’t matter
UWU XD EPiC GamInG
Or, ya know, just people communicating
To be clear, I’m not agreeing with the guy.
Just saying you asked a pretty open-ended question and someone gave an answer you didn’t like and you asked them why they answered you.
Not always going to get the answers you want
Rdruid is the closest to “S tier” as it’s overall performance is better than the other healers in nearly every aspect.
Prevoker is broken mechanically, design flaw. Hpld, MW, Disc pretty close. Holy priest the worst.
Some changes coming in a week that can change it up.
if you think about it, you could probably use RSS as a BDSM dating app, as all healers playing the mode are masochists to the highest degree
Yes I think there is a correlation between a class’s strength and its representation in the arena, especially RSS.
When buffs / nerfs happen, the meta shifts.
Seems kinda obvious, no?
yeah this is true but usually they only nerf X and Y
instead of nerfing X and Y… they could buff A B and C
i dunno. i just see a lot of people complaining about those 2 heal specs in particular (rdruid and prevoker)
i think if the other healers were as easy to play as those then maybe we would see more OVERALL healers in ss?
every role has their own tier
There’s more wrong with healing shuffle than just balance. Holy priest is just dog water right now, they need serious help, but everything else can compete. Rdruid feels ahead of everything else, and pres has gimmicky stuff, but hpal, disc and rsham are solid.
That being said, healer CR/MMR issues going 3-3, healer CR deflation, and lack of agency are the core problems. I hit 1800 on my disc and just can’t be bothered to play it in shuffle anymore because even at 1900 MMR you get DPS that play more like 1500 lining you hard, lack of awareness and other things you see at lower MMR but because of healers making up half the ladder of dps, we have deflation.
So you sweat trying to not go 3-3 but often doesn’t matter because you can’t heal stupid often times.
My arena experience this season is limited to solo shuffle and even then I haven’t played for over a week so I feel old already but just to throw out an example of what I dislike about Pres is:
Nullifying shroud. It’s just dumb. It’s reminiscent of fleshcraft. You hurr durr cast it at the beginning of the Match and you have three charges of immunity. It’s just a dumb mechanic.
Pres overall seems to have a bloated toolkit with a lot of throughput.
I personally like small, frequent changes and I think modifying / gutting nullifying would be a great start.
I take the point that healers may not be fun right now, especially in RSS (for more reasons than just class balance), but abilities like nullifying shroud shouldn’t be in the game. At least not in its current iteration
I would say rsham is S tier when DPS don’t know how to kill totems. Healing tide totem? Just let it sit full duration.
Earthen wall totem? Just keep smacking into it.
Stand in it makes rsham very weak in RSS
