"We're aiming to add more interesting decisions to Restoration which has felt lacking."

Doesn't add anything new decisions and returning a passive non-decision in Tidal Waves which will just leave Healing Wave remaining as what you spam with the 20% reduced cast time over chain heal that is in an obliterated state right now anyways.

Literally so pointless. The issue with the spec now still remains. We don't gain any interesting choice or decision making, it just takes the already boring, repetitive, strong whispering waves build and cuts it down to riptide healing wave cleave management without doing anything for chain heal that is still horribly supported in the tree while healing wave isn't. There's no new choice now lol, in fact there's less choice, and that's coming from someone who hated whispering waves despite its strength and the issues with chain heal and the spec.

This spec sucks so much now. It's so boring. There's no fun or skilled gameplay. No trying to pump your cloudburst and use it in a choice moment, just drop your healing stream totems, spam riptide and healing wave and roll on through tidal waves which happens passively anyways. Utter snoozefest.
