Winners & Losers of The War Within: Healers Are In A WILD Place

Not sure how to break this – the tank nerfs are your problem, healers. That’s one of the biggest changes coming into the expansion, but the upside is that almost every healer’s been upgraded or revamped in fantastic ways. Key word: almost.

  1. with tranq getting a big upfront part resto druid has a decent chance of showing up in raids now, resto has always shone with ridiculous throughput but struggled with dangerous moments because of a lack of emergency heals, the way they shift healing in addition to giving them a buff in that are makes me think that resto will be creeping up on some of these raid slots 😀

  2. I've played on and off since vanilla. I played vanilla, tbc, wotlk, beginning of cata, beginning of mop, missed legion wod, played a bit of SL, half of DF.

    Back in the day i mained resto druid throughout vanilla tbc and wotlk, did light raiding and heroics mostly. The focus was on mana management, and basically constant healing management across the group and MT.

    I wanted to heal in DF again but was put off so much by a measure of a the different healing specs being how much damage they output – like wtf i would roll a dps spec if I wanted to be dpsing! It just seemed so counter-intuitive to me. Coupled with tanks having insane survivability it almost felt like the healing class was irrelevant. This was a huge turn off to me and i ended up not playing healer at all.

    I look forward to healers actually becoming healers again; if a healer has so much down time inbetween heals that it needs to DPS and this becomes a key measure of the spec, then something is broken imo.

  3. Idk about mistweaver, feels like I have to play monk now as it played back in draenor plus additional fist weaving. I thought font was iconic and what the spec was missing before 🙁 I'll be a totemic shaman and I am excited for the new totem 😊

  4. Fine, I will be back on this expac… But only because I hated to heal people who go from 100% hp to 40% then 10%. Healing in wow have been a mental charge dps players will never understand. All we asked was a rework of the healing or having brained dps…

  5. I tried levelling a healer recently but dropped it the second I was kicked from a dungeon (not hc or mythic) for not doing enough dps. I play for fun, was having fun healing. Not anymore

  6. Idk man – "more mechanically involved than ever"? Did you guys play Cata? The dungeons were so damn mechanically hard (which I loved by the way) that people complained and they overcorrected lol. Are we talking original cata-hard dungeons or like…mysts?

  7. It makes me sad that everyone is happy about Glimmer being gone. Glimmer healing/DPSing in Legion was one of the most enjoyable times healing I have ever had in this game. It was unique and flexible. And then they nerfed it into the ground so much that everyone hated it.

    Pally healing was always so boring, it was a breath of fresh air. I've never been able to enjoy pally healing since, and celebrating it being removed feels like a mistake to me. Especially when we are talking about how healers are expected to deal damage these days. It worked so well with that.

  8. I used to work as an environmental activist many many years ago when I was teenager and into my early 20s. We had a similar principal called KISS 💋. Keep it short and simple. I feel like that velocity would work well for a lot of YouTube videos.

  9. Clearly, none of you remember dungeons when Cata launched.
    By nerfing class defensives and increasing punishing mechanics, dungeons are going to be miserable, probably worse than Cata, until either Blizz patch or people overgear them.

    So, yet again, Blizzard have answered forum QQ by destroying "FUN" for the sake of "Balance on Paper".

    I hope you lot are happy with what you asked for.

  10. As a monk mw main for a couple of expansions, its sad to see blizz pushing fistweaving so much. All other classes have a one button aoe spell. Mw doesnt anymore since they removed essence font. If you want to aoe heal now well spam renewing mist and then vivfy and that will still not heal as many as a chain heal. Or go the meme way and spinning crane kick.
