Not to mention it doesn’t fall off the moment damage is taken, doesn’t impede rotational performance since it’s also not on the GCD, and can be cast on others.

I would agree with that, it should be stronger as it is a channeled ability but a full heal ability every 90 seconds is stupid. I know in the current season raid I could use that in most of the fights. Hell even if you only got half of it off, you are still talking about an impressive heal.
Just keep Zandalari dotted in PvP
I really don’t see this as a big problem. People can slink away and use certain bandages already, isn’t the Zanda racial basically that?

You don’t know what channeling means, which makes me wonder why you’re commenting on balance.

It’s likely to get 0-1 ticks on fights where it’s “useful”.
If. Besides, every healer has the means to heal that quickly anyways.
I know what channeling means. Learn to divide. 100% / 6 seconds means you are getting back roughing 17% per second. Which is almost as much as the full value of “gift”. The point was the value of the two are so wildly different that clearly one needs to be changed.
You called the draenei racial a channeled ability. You clearly don’t know what it means. You cannot move or perform any other actions while casting a channeled spell. The draenei racial is an instant self-buff that is not interrupted by damage.

Oh look the 590th thread about this. Hooray. We needed another about the racials that aren’t nearly as bad as everyone claims.

One is a guaranteed effect, one is not.

But if they nerf it, how will they sell a race change to everyone?

It’s not even that big of an issue. I’d rather have a guaranteed 20% HoT then a channel heal that breaks on any form of damage.

1st Blizz wants the money from the people who will race change then pay for the boost.
Then Blizz will fix it but not before.

I was talking about both pve and pvp, in pvp it’s even worse because you can just have a healer dispel dots and a high mobility class like a rogue or hunter can easily heal to full while LoSing, that’s just wrong.

How are they any more broken than an extra stun break for PVP, a removal of any bleeds/curses, an extra burst cd, or a mini bloodlust?
I genuinely want to know about which situations besides a 1v1 with a paladin that this racial is going to “break the game” EMFH would win more battles, practically.

I see nothing gambreaking about something that can be easily duplicated with a bandaid or sitting down and eating a cookie.

You haven’t checked well enough, then. It’s also been nerfed to a 6 second cast, restoring 16.7% of the health bar per second, breaks on any and all damage including dot ticks, and breaks from self-damage causing abilities like stagger, and cauterize. It also breaks if a tick is dealt but absorbed. So a priest can’t shield them self and regenerate. Same with mage shields.
As far as the loa buffs go, this is like any other throughput mechanism in the game and will be adjusted accordingly. What’s going to be more abused will be haymaker -> Polymorph or Trap.

I understand pvers don’t see how this is going to be abused but like I already said, high mobility/cc classes are just going to abuse this too much, a 100% even an 80 or 60% heal while some1 is cced is just way too much compared to emfh.
You keep saying that despite people bringing up valid points.
Sure a Zandalari could LoS, but even if the tiniest bit of damage is done, the cast is broken.
That’s why instant casts destroy a Zandalari. Besides, it’s already going to be changed before release (which is probably this Tuesday.)
