10.2 PTR: Heroic Raid Testing Healer Meta: So...Balanced?

[@AmanitaMuscarias]

Resto Druid looks like it is on the lower end of HPS, I'm thinking they got too many nerfs early on in the PTR. Holy Priest looks low HPS too.

And then less than an hour after you post this video, major healing changes announced via bluepost. Feelsbadman.

And those changes are bringing healers into an even better balance. Disc got a damage nerf but it won't matter in raid setting as sins of the many had almost 0 effect on your damage and healing during ramps (the time when you actually do most dps) and only a minor influence on dps outside of your ramps. In m+ it will bring down the damage where it had some insane numbers but disc will still be the top dog for damage by a mile regardless. They did get a big buff to raid healing for their atonement. This will also affect healing in m+ so that is just to counterbalance the dps nerf. Holy was already a top spec for raid healing. For m+ it will still be lacking behind but it will do the job. Paladin got another aura nerf to healing which it still needed. Prism got buffed. It will still be most likely the best m+ healer and a very good choice for raid healing. Shaman got a bit shafted by only getting the set buffed slightly and a very weak aura buff to healing. MW monke got some very good buffs to both damage and HPS especially in a raid environment. And druid well... rest in pepperoni druid. In raid it will be okay but I doubt we will be seeing many of them in higher keys. Still pretty decent despite the nerfs.

I would gladly trade Power Infusion for a Kick or a battle rez.

[@Kinzass]

Nah, PI is still better then kick definitely, but for BR i suppose it will be good change.

[@stevown]

Or both. It's redic that they added kicks to all the specs (although resto druid kick is arguably essentially non-existent) and miss one/two healers. Especially considering when kicks are missed it's the healers problem. It's always been weird that all healers didn't have a battle rez IMO.

[@Dark_Tesla]

As a Rogue main that never gets PI I agree get rid of it.

[@Alesz15]

MW needs it more than priest though

[@Matte8lack]

PI should be returned to what it has been for a short time. A personal dps CD.@@Dark_Tesla

[@Ackz89]

Didnt hpriest just get nerfs for whatever reason though?

[@dawid3819]

Please link that sheet

[@tbreeze79]

I'm a Druid main. I'm thinking to try Discipline Priest.

[@whatiscrypto..369]

RDruid felt really good in the raid PTR just fyi

[@RobbenZ]

IZEN, in the past (~Sepulcher-ish) I had lost interest in your videos because you had begun including questionable information that I knew to be incorrect, and that made me lose trust that the rest of the info I didn't know as well might be false too. But this newer style you have grown into is a big improvement and has gained my interest once again. The more objective data-analysis that you do now is awesome; and your editing is a great help for someone like me who can read Logs about as well as I can read Hieroglyphics. You are like those blessed Indians who always have great videos for incomprehensible Math/Programming problems, you are slowly teaching the Unga-Bunga Players like myself how to actually comprehend all these mountains of data. I hope you keep it up, and I hope your channel gets the increased fame that it deserves. I miss when you wore wild outfits though, with winter coming will we see the return of strange scarves & sweaters? (PS- Tell the other illuminati folks I said hi)
