Wow, these changes are actually mind-boggling. Between Hpal's absolutely unnecessary nerfs X2 , Rsham's acid rain nerfs and healing rain bugs in a couple instances, both priest specs being completely ignored, prevoker's grotesquely overtuned consume flame, the entirety of the resto druid spec, and MW being pretty much mediocre, im convinced that blizzard has either a troop of apes doing healer tuning or these devs just think they know better and dont care about the overwhelmingly negative impact their decisions have on the game. When 6/7 healers have a glaring issue (MW gets a pass because i haven't really played it this season or heard much about it having big issues) there really is no excuse other than the devs have remained willfully ignorant of how healing actualy works and regularly ignore the feedback given by both the "expert" players/streamers and the healing community at large. At this point, a change needs to happen because im not willing to stick around for many more disappointments. In case anyone was wondering, Hpal main here.
That consume flame nerf just guts the spec. Braindead take from Blizzard yet again, cater to all of the bad players who got mad that their class wasn't top parsing. I played Evoker this season because my main (RDruid) was turned into pure shit and now my Evoker has been nerfed into the ground. I can play chronowarden in raids but I actually enjoyed being able to carry my raid for once. There are also some very important tools that Flameshaper brings to raids like the renewing blaze ability that meets a lot of ST heal checks and people wont want to run it anymore since they completely gutted the CORE ABILITY of the fucking HERO spec. BRAINDEADDDDDDDD
This is what I call lazy tuning. Esp the flat % buff or nerf. I am a main retro druid while I agree with the first 8% buff few weeks ago. This % buff just seem blizzard is really lazy, this will not fix anything.
I have haplly and rsham, and when i'am playing hpally in keys compared to rsham i feel like i need to do 10 times more to do the same rsham can do with 2 buttons, and now it's going to be even worse, thats frustrating coz hpally is my main for 10 years by now and i'am trying so hard not to drop it....but blizzard is just killing it once again
Man, I played Pres all of DF and wanted to try something new so learned HPal. They've given us nothing but nerfs since I chose this class. I must have pissed someone at Blizzard off somehow.
I play holy paladin lightsmith in dungeon and is really fun and good, herald produce a burst of healing but 60% goes to overhealing which is stupid in order to play it you need to pair it with avenger wrath which is 2 minutes uptime, I go lighsmith with avenger crusader and can have 1 minute uptime healing dungeons means I will have my miniburst ready healing and not overhealing, plus the bulward and the sacred weapon is really good defensive and healing, and again, Disc priest is way better with oracle not Void weaver all themeta people are wrong on that regard, there is more nuances to the builds than have more numbers in details.
I agree that they need to redesign resto druid in some way. Outside of soul of the forest Regrowths, NS regrowths and tree form, everything feels so bad and 5% isnt enough healing. I know it's easy to make druid to strong if the hots can combat with AoE damage but a lot of the times it feels like putting Hots on my party is actually reducing their health.
I guess nothing has changed what Blizzard. Devs showing they have no idea what they are doing. I guess the lfr raids and follower dungeons the devs are pushing they felt needed change.
Hpal is so fun tho I wish they just make its raid healing fit better even tho they don’t seem so far ahead to even get this nerf *cries in herald of the sun* . Dear blizz even tho tww is prolly your best work what you done did to hpal almost undoes it all 😅
And here i was hoping for some changes to Priest AoE healing, it is in such a sad state... i mean, we got a bunch of spells for group healing, they just do piss poor healing, even Sanctify feels bad to press. But i guess ill keep spamming flash heal and heal.
@@brandonvargas5925 yea me either. i dont even press it that much in raids outside of divine wording it - and its still dogshit compared to basically every shaman AOE heal. *shrug*.
yea it feels bad when those are simply buttons to press to buff or reduce cd on holy words. they have no oompfh at all. Druids dealing with the same thing
as a high end resto dru....."No"...catweaving ???what is that??we are so GCD lockt and we don't have on demand HPS...all we do is run around spamming EVERYTHING just to have more hots up and play around with our mastery....and is stupid....i can output about 1.5 mil HPS during some long fights like NW second and 3rd boss...but ppl get clapped in 1 GCD,I don't have HP bars to push that amount of HPS...I just watch ppl die left and right from 100 to zero in 1 GCD...
12:28 I tried. I tried to enjoy it. But there were literally no Priest changes for uh... The like 60th week in a row? I dunno, how long ago was Dragonflight Season 2?
I reckon that priest needs some pretty fundamental reworking. All 3 specs have just so many dead talent nodes, or talents that really should just be in by default imo. But I swear theres some determined anti priest conspiracy at blizz lol
I deeply regret maining Hpal. The game just punishes you for not playing the strongest meta healer (Rsham). The dungeons are already hard enough and we get 5% healing nerf? Rshaman is outperforming every single healing spec by a mile and they receive a slap on the wrist. Absolutely disgusiting. After these changes went live, I checked the overall ranking and damn, the highest Hpal is Ellesmere, barely hitting top 50 (~rank 43). Meanwhile, in top 20 there are like 16 Rshams. Good job Blizz! You are killing it as usual.
Resto druid feels so weird. All your hots are meaningless but you still need them to buff your regrowth. You spend a lot of time maintaining those worthless hots just for its mastery effect to make regrowth more powerful.
feel the same way. I feel like there should be more interesting hot mechanics. Rshaman has riptide + 2 talents that interact with it for more effect. Monk has renewing mists which jump around, apply the talent buff, interacts with Vivify. Meanwhile rdruid is ramping for 10 GCDs with hots only to do less healing than reactive healers like rshaman/hpriest. I wanna see more cleaving of hots (like Archdruid talent) and more interaction between your hots other than mastery. It has to feel good to apply and spread hots on itself, not just as a mechanism to do semi-good healing with Regrowth. The coolest hot mechanic was Adaptive Swarm imo, and they got rid of that for fun but kinda dead talents in serious difficulty. Other than that you have 1 or 2 CDs and they feel kinda bad in M+ compared to Monk/rShaman CDs.
@@JaydeeDJALL dots need to grant stacking damage reduction on all targets. It will reward the super active healer for applying and maintaining hundreds of dots across the board. Right now there's no reward and everyone just plays Shaman instead. Players should be rewarded for playing the game proactively. It's stupid we Resto Druids put in so much effort and doesn't even heal half as much as reactive healers with robot gameplay.
Huh? LOL. Are you talking about M+? RDruids playstyle has remained the same forever, you spam rejuv on everyone and soul of the forest wild growth + flourish on aoe mechanics. They just gutted it by removing photosynthesis and trying to make it more of a swiftmend spot healer. The entire class tree is a mess and RDruid will never be good.
these folks at blizzard don’t understand how herald works man… we felt the first nerf in m+ immediately and now again…🤬. First nerf was even because of a bug to dawn light instead of just fixing it
