This might work. Idk if it’s a good idea but it might work
Give Hunters Healing Bullets!
Let them shoot their allies to full health!
Need an ability called “rabies vaccine” that is like abolish disease.
I think the problem is priest is the only really good healer right now and SP is too sexy in phase 2.

Hpal is actually fun in dungeons.
Hpal is unreasonably miserable in BGs

How’s resto shammy? I healed resto shammy all through Wotlk (the original not classic) and it’s probably the best time I ever had in WoW. I’m alliance right now, so I never see them in action.
this is exactly what SoD players deserve 
It’s really bad in STV. Most groups are always looking for healers. Groups that have one have a big advantage.
Realistically it’s the parsing mentality. People like to parse. So they roll dps instead of healing. Because no matter how you heal if everyone lives and boss dies your parse could mean very little.
Not to mention even if you say are a healer people want you in good gear, or even check logs. It’s rather comical. Healing is always the first to be blamed. “Why wasn’t he healed “.
Point is it’s not exactly flattering to be a healer. Especially for random joes. Most will do it for guildies or irl friends. That’s it in a nutshell

Just picture vanilla resto shaman with infinite mana sustain.
It honestly doesn’t change very much tbh.

There’s a perfect storm happening right now that wiped out the healers.
At 25, it was evident to everyone priest was dominant and in some cases necessary, to win at PVP or BFD due to how strong their runes were. Unfortunately, all other healers in the game were shafted. Paladins, complete trash. Resto shaman, garbage. Druids, 1 trick pony with wild growth and useless in any single target situation.
Now at 40 the healing runes still suck for all healers except one, but now shadow priest is one of the strongest classes in PVP and PVE. If people want healers, they should vouch for buffs to nonpriest healers. Throw a bone to resto shamans, paladins, and druids. No one wants to play these classes. Druid in particular has probably the worst set of runes right now between lifebloom, living seed, and nourish all being useless.

Interesting, I may have to roll one. I love the jesus beam heals.
Oh the jesus beams are even better tbh. You’re picking between doubled jesus beams, and healing rain.

Priest: Healing has always been good, but now DPS is also good so they are trying something new for a phase before it’s nerfed into oblivion.
Druid: Every healing rune besides Wild Growth is abhorrent. They do not feel good to play as a healer and are at best relegated to filling the void between Wild Growth casts with Wrath spam instead of doing any other healing, so they also caved and just went DPS.
Paladin: Players who love Holy also love the idea of Shockadin, so they too are pursuing a career in deeps. The runes given for Holy Paladin almost exclusively buff this playstyle, as only 2 of 5 slots have clear-cut “healing” runes
Shaman: Viable healers who’s class was ignored while bleeding out for so long that they all rerolled to something else, probably a DPS class given the dramatic impact of DPS runes vs another set of lackluster healing runes
Mage: What could’ve been a very fun spec to play around if Arcane Blast and Rewind Time weren’t mutually exclusive, is actually just keeping up beacons on people and slow rolling AB casts, using almost 0 of the new healing spells given to us. Arcane Blast is literally paramount to playing the spec, and no matter where you put it, would make the spell mandatory for Mage healing. As a result, it always feels like you’re giving up something that could be fun just to be viable. So instead, they’re all playing Arcane Surge or Fire, where at least they can do damage.
In summary: priest aside, every single other healing class has been 1,000% shafted in every way conceivable when looked at side-by-side with priests, making them unfun to play when nearly every other role had runes that make their spec fun or unique, while many of the priests who are clearly the only Healer Blizzard wants anyone to play are having more fun as Shadow.
Make healing fun and people will play them.

Rewind Time competing with Arcane Blast is one of the biggest tragedies of SoD as far as I’m concerned lol
Like there is no good reason for this and it just completely kills Rewind Time period ><
Would have been sooo fun to use too bad they literally decided to make taking it incompatible with the build it’s meant to be used in… WHAAAT?!
Also the new heal having only a 15s duration honestly makes its usage practically the same as any normal 2s cast heal just with extra steps lol

My biggest gripe is that I can’t make it work with any variation of mouseover macro that I have tried. It’s frustrating to have to target an enemy to consistently provide damage through which I heal a player with Temporal Beacon, but have to hard swap targets to provide a single target cast-heal. I can’t imagine this was tested at all, by anyone, prior to launch. And while I say that in regards to the spell, maybe the whole spec was just untested.

Im busy lvling dps classes. Eventually will lvl my paly, but used to tank more than holy. Though can probably tank with holy spec, or heal with tank spec, right?
You don’t, apparently.
