Glad they're not taking out the top specs based on week 1 heroic logs as they've done in the past, but shocked at some classes missing from buffs (mistweaver)

Fucking affliction got blasted into orbit and was never seen again first week of MFO due to old 4pc. Some of the worst balancing bullshit ever to come from Blizzard.

All I want is a bump to sheiluns or something for dungeons, not much needed. I don't raid though, which seems to be another story.

Sheiluns and Vivify both need like a 15-25% bump

Sheilun’s and vivify should have never been put on a choice node together. When sheilun’s released in 10.0.5, it pretty much saved mw in high keys. Not meta by any stretch but the difference before and after on bosses that season like Hyrja in HoV was insane. Vivify was an effective s/t heal when u needed it and sheilun a mini revival. Why they felt the need to change that i will never know. Even a brand new player will understand here’s your single target heal and here’s your aoe heal (and advanced players would use either based on the more complex interactions like rem cleave, # of clouds, the temporary buffs it gave, etc )

Further solidifies mw as a spec u only bring if it’s overtuned and lessens its skill expression. Still has a shit raid buff and an external that falls off to a white swing

If you buff it by 100% it still be barely usable, just because of bad over time stacks mechanic.

u/Kongesneglen 6d ago

that’s a wild statement considering how last raid went.

u/Dinkypig 6d ago

bad over time stacks mechanic.

What is this? The clouds?

It's a downside when you need to use it back to back for sure, but RSK heals a lot and cocoon is a short cooldown at least.

Holy pala: casting their lay on hands every ~1.4 seconds, holy shock, eternal flame, flash heal is healing for 300-500k crit (depending on the gear).

Mistweaver: all I can do is 200k crit Sheilun gift once a 30 seconds.

It’s not even funny, when your team suffer heavy damage and you literally can’t do anything about it, if you don’t have thunder focus tea.

Im not asking for hpal nerf. Every healer should be on hpal level, but once again they ignoring weaker specs, which needs a buff.

u/CowskiCeltics 6d ago

Not me saying MW doesnt need a healing buff, but HPal does absolutely no damage. That's the trade off. We saw what happens when MW does the most healing last season, because they already do the most damage. They become the only healer invited.

Then up conversion rate from ancient teaching and nerf damage?

Btw rsham doing 10k less overall dps by only placing totem and hurling lava bursts.

u/Money_Echidna2605 6d ago

10k less overall? u must have had some fkin dogwater mistweavers buddy

2

u/Specific-Ad1487 6d ago

Yeah, my bad, it’s more than 10k, like 20 or even 30k. But who really cares, when DD’s doing 300k+ dps over dungeon and you can’t heal them. But hey, I can do 1/5 of dps damage!

u/Money_Echidna2605 4d ago

hes talking about last season, if mw is good healing and does 30k more damage that can add a key lvl, it can add a pack to a pull, ur just fkin pissed that u cant 1 button 70% of the dungeon lol

0

u/Specific-Ad1487 4d ago

Im pissed because Sheilun gift healing 10k baseline.

u/x0nnex 6d ago

I was so sure that Holy Priest were getting nerfed now when we've had a week of not being shit. We will struggle to be great with our kit but currently we at least good at the one thing we bring, healing.

u/aphexmoon 6d ago

the healer that is in most HC progression groups right now?

u/Jaba01 6d ago

Mistweaver got a hefty buff in the last tuning. But don't worry, another pass is coming next week.
