Why has healing been nerfed into the ground?

It is a curious thing to me. I can’t claim to understand composition in raid teams but our rule of thumb has been 2/3/9 and 2/4/12.

In this current raid on heroic, we run 2/3/14 and even 2/3/16 sometimes. We rarely swing over to a 2/4 comp, sometimes on the fire dragon (the one with the golems) which is a tough fight for us.

So, healing may have been nerfed but our raiding dynamic feels very different or have as many hard lines as before.

power scaling, and this late in the tier.

healers are getting stronger with better gear allowing for them to have a higher output. raid teams also learn the fight so the sudden dmg is lessened by players learning when to move, use cds, and use consumables when they are actually needed.

and the rot dmg isn’t being countered by healers but rotating hybrid healz IE: Priests vampiric touch, or shamans Astrial Guidance.

But it is countered by healers, just hybrid provide utility and similar damage profiles so why not?

Let’s stick to current season. Keys completed after Annulet was introduced in S1 are irrelevant

I haven’t noticed any nerfs to be honest. My healing seems to be working the same way it did when the expac dropped - in fact the tier bonuses we’ve had so far seem to have been unusually good for non-final tier raids.

1 item per boss, making it so trinkets/weapons aren’t a 0.000000001% drop rate so it’s not the same cloak or ring every run (obviously exaggerating) and you have a deal.

Based on the healing checks and the fact there’s no backup for them aside from tanks/dps, yes.

This needs corrected still.

Good thing the vast majority of my pushing was before 10.0.7 then I guess. lmao. I spent most of that patch chasing transmog.

What other excuses/special criteria do you wanna use?

I only get to 2500 for the transmog lol so we have that in common

Its funny to watch the same 3-4 people saying healing isn’t hard. Its not the problem. They advocate for not buff healing and its not a HPS problem.

Then WHY not just buff it, if it will not matter. Let the others be happy.

NO NO NO NO! actually it might be. Others might get some gear that will never effect the 3-4 in any way.

Because having +20 be the pinnacle is different from +15.

It’s not wrong to want difficult content in the game. Raiders have it with mythic raiding. why not m+ that still gives gear?

Ideally? +25 is where gear ends.

I am sorr I had your troll are ignore from last threads

yes anyone that disagrees with you is a troll lol.

So I believe the initial idea was that they would reduce healing and also reduce spike damage so that it was more about rotational skill and throughput than being ready for every damage spike in every single dungeon.

But instead the spiky damage stayed the same due to the nature of mythic plus (mythic plus scales infinitely so spiky damage is unavoidable), so now healers are basically being forced to heal the same amount of damage with half the healing. From what I understand, this is specifically a mythic plus issue.

This is just what I’ve heard, because I haven’t played this season as a healer, but if people are saying it is worse than last season, then it must be pretty nightmarish because season 1 was pretty notorious for having massive spikes of damage that were really hard for new healers to deal with.

The issue is more people expecting +20s to be as easy as +15s were. Requiring people to use defensives starts at like 15+.

It isn’t that spiky on lower levels.

So I opened your post and by the book you admit that healing is whats holding others back.

If you want harder content GOOD news its scales forever do 30’s.

A 20 keys is harder then the first few boss’s of mythic raiding, Its about ego and lL33t US!

Then buff PvP healing, M+ souldn’t nerff us.
