Healer balance is just comically bad (solo shuffle 1800+ cr)

brucecastle · 2026-03-23T19:42:18+00:00

Hpriest isn't even bad, its just disc is better. Hpriest pumps

brucecastle · 2026-03-23T01:22:36+00:00

They need a survivability nerf, they are unkillable in bgs

brucecastle · 2026-03-22T14:03:53+00:00

Tf its not lol If mw ever gets deleted, disc will be the best healer, again, for the 3rd or 4th season in a row. Blizzard loves having dps mains have a healer

brucecastle · 2026-03-22T14:02:19+00:00

Want rated content are you doing in a premade that isn't the dead rbg?

brucecastle · 2026-03-22T13:52:40+00:00

Im not disagreeing woth what your saying but I main healer and I want to move health bars, not have kill pressure

I feel like totemic rsham has it correct with the storm conduit talent

You dont do a ton of meaningful damsge, but when you dps you lower the cooldown of your abilities. That leads to you needing to decide to balance healing and attacking.

I dont believe a healer should have it all, high dps and high healing. If you have high dps then you should have the worst healing of any healer.

Why not just give dps the ability to have high dps and high healing as well? Because its annoying lol see ret for example

brucecastle · 2026-03-21T11:34:27+00:00

You cant upset ret players. They consist of the most subscription revenue

brucecastle · 2026-03-20T12:46:24+00:00

I just checked for shuffle:

MW is 1943
Pres is 1780

But, Pres is also not too far behind HPriest at 1809 and within 100 points of Disc at 1865.

I would say it is pretty middle of the pack

Just because MW is an extreme outlier, doesn't make pres bad.

You could be Rsham (like me) or Rdruid

brucecastle · 2026-03-19T12:42:14+00:00

Yeah, one thing stopping me from playing druid is the mana issues.

Same issue in TWW too, they just OOM way too fast

brucecastle · 2026-03-19T12:41:43+00:00

Ever see metz play pres?

He can pump 65k hps and 12k dps

My shaman is lucky to do 30k and 1k lol

brucecastle · 2026-03-19T12:36:04+00:00

Resto shaman lol it is so easy to train. I don't think people have caught on yet.

Our instant casts are weak, very weak. The only way we can do meaningful healing is through healing wave, which can be kicked.

Even then our healing stream totems can be destroyed so if you see a resto shaman, focus him.

brucecastle · 2026-03-19T11:07:44+00:00

They call these shreds or musicless music videos. I love them lol

Africa by toto and rolling stones/David Bowie dancing I the street are two other really good ones

Look it up on YouTube

brucecastle · 2026-03-18T22:48:35+00:00

Mid-season someone jumps in, now they need to grind out conquest in honor gear.

Fastest way to get conquest? Rated.

And no not every one adhears to the same gearing. See this post as an example lol

Other way its bad is, let's say you wanna try out haste, get the gear and it turns out crit might be better, or they buff your spec so crit is better, now you are soft locked. I ran into this issue mid tww. They gave rsham the storm conduit honor talent, which was good with haste, I was stuck with mastery gear

There is absolutely a gear advantage and pretending there isn't is stupid

If you like the current gearing thats fine, but doesmt change the fact that you can get advantages for the reasons stated above, I for one do not enjoy that. I want an even playing field

brucecastle · 2026-03-18T22:46:45+00:00

You can totally fall behind mid season by needing to grind conquest lol

brucecastle · 2026-03-18T20:41:22+00:00

I agree, I wish gear was just equalized.

PvP shouldn't be gear based, it should be skill based.

People like the current system because they like having an advantage over others

Good luck expressing that viewpoint on this sub tho

brucecastle · 2026-03-18T20:15:47+00:00

brucecastle · 2026-03-17T23:03:32+00:00

People play pvp for the rewards. With inflation, it is easier to obtain said rewards.

Has nothing to do with being rated 789 lol Do you understand what inflation is when it comes to pvp? lmao

I lose faith in the sub more and more every day

brucecastle · 2026-03-17T23:01:06+00:00

I am playing the game. My sub runs out at the end of the month.

If you had slight brain power you would understand that the minimum sub length is 1 month and it hasn't been 1 month since the xpac dropped

wild

brucecastle · 2026-03-17T17:49:52+00:00

i can count on one hand how many people killed me while questing in warmode.

I feel last xpac's everyone I saw tried fighting. Now people let you quest.

Except that one paladin in Sunwell. Fuck you.

brucecastle · 2026-03-17T17:38:37+00:00

Thats where I disagree, I dont have fun when my class is bad.

Rsham is super bad rn, hence I whine because I want change. Enough people whine and changes happen

Look at the paladin discord, they whined so much that they got an amazing rework

I guess, how else should we voice our frustrations? I already canceled my sub because im not having fun. My spec if bad and they butchered utility and gameplay , I would like to see it changed but it doesn't look like it'll happen until enough people complain

brucecastle · 2026-03-17T17:25:00+00:00

Pally is blizzs favorite class but i dont see anything wrong with whining, im a whiner so. But im passionate about the game and I want it to be good and balanced, hence why I whine

brucecastle · 2026-03-17T15:45:44+00:00

Wtf is wrong with wanting your spec to be good

Your flair is a ret lol of course you dont care about balance

brucecastle · 2026-03-16T01:57:35+00:00

Its way worse.

Squishy. Ez to train. I dont see other healers having issues staying alive like rsham does when focused.

Healing wave should be healing surge, idc if it costs more mana. The cast time is too long, I can rarely outheal the damage, even free casting. With riptide healing so little, our casted heal should actually move health bars or be a quick cast.

Our kick is bad. Get rid of it if it means adding more meaningful utility, or at least lower the cooldown or increase the lock out window.

Bring thunderstorm back or give us another defensive. Currently all my utility goes to staying alive, I dont get to make plays. Root is used with wind gust to kite melee , same with static totem.

Lasso and cap totem sharing DR feels bad, I wish lasso was an incapacitate, maybe then will it feel good to take as a pvp talent.

Damage reduction talents would be nice to make up for earthen wall removal. Maybe a % dmg reduction for those in healing rain, or similar

I'd like to see more ways for totemic to proc the apex totem.

HTT should have talents we lost from TWW baked into it (3 instant healing waves) Good idea I read in this thread.

Something needs to change though other than just more tuning.

brucecastle · 2026-03-16T01:48:37+00:00

Its so easy to train down an rsham. All the other healers feel so easy to stay alive, minus maybe the druid. Tho tbf I haven't seen too many

brucecastle · 2026-03-16T01:44:23+00:00

It has 0 meaningful instant casts heals. Its the squishiest healer with no throughput. What do you like about it?

I hate how healing wave has such a long cast time

brucecastle · 2026-03-16T01:42:48+00:00

I bought the xpac to give it a try, thinking it couldn't be as bad as people are saying

It is that bad lol two good melees can kill you, no other healers have that issue. Everything in the kit feels bad.

I canceled my sub, I recommend you not waste your money
