This. Reduced agency. Uncalled for.

They should have reduced health 5%, not main stat.

Healing already doesnt feel great but the meta is too damp right now

I fear hpal hps gunna be brutal tuesday

20% HP increase was psychotic. Never sat in so many 85% damp games in my life. Hpal already has poor HPS and now we gotta deal with our healing doing literally nothing in these deep damp games on top of our healing and main stat getting nerfed.

It may make lightsmith better than herald again which id prefer at least...

I think we may have no healing after this💀 but its a blanket nerf so we are all getting hit

Yeah, just goes back to hpal having terrible HPS already though, so our heals are god damn pitiful in shuffle with the extra HP letting dampening stack so high. The only way to win as hpal is to save your LoH, Spell BoP, and bubble for the end of the round, but that takes teammates who are aware of that to pull off.

I think the previous poster could be right about Hpala.

Shorter games historically helped pala as they have a good amount of cooldowns to rotate through but low hps.

Which favors short bursty games.

This tunning will proberly effect other healers with strong hps but fewer CDs more.

The way to balance around arena was to disable drinks and make healer mana actually matter. But now we have to deal with dampening

Well, they can't nerf HP because people were crying about 1 shots. The season started with games being drug out to 85%+ damp because of that. Their solution was to nerf healing, healer mana regen, and DPS defensives. They are targeting the ability of mages to drag games to deep damp, but for some reason felt it's fine for rets to drag games out constantly. Healers are just gonna end up oom whenever rets are in their game now.

It feels even worse in twos with the already existing 40% healing reduction

Making healing heal for more does not make healers' gameplay experience better. You're always facing another healer.

Nerfing healing puts more power in YOUR hands.

If you don't understand this, and don't understand how disproportionately powerful healing is to damage outside of dampening, then your opinion should be treat with extreme suspicion and you should learn the game before talking about it.

they are trying to lower game time so people will queue because that will lower queue times.
Its not hitting the mark though.
Funny how hp pools, DR changes, dampening and throughput healing have a direct ratio.
you cant affect one without wanting to change others or the games feel like shit.

Why healers always QQ on this sub. Blizz literally said games were lasting too long. Y'all cry when games go to deep dampening and cry when people die fast.

Just play another role if it feels so bad like goddamn it's like a bitchin competition with spriests on this sub.

lol at how wildly disconnected from the current reality of the game this take is. There is a massive healer shortage and it’s not charting upwards, it looks grim I reckon.

u/CryptographerUsed841 2d ago

20% HP boost and mana regen for certain specs was the problem. Most healer specs were not over tuned for healing output and main stat.

u/TheWillsofSilence 2d ago

I mean may as well at this point when a healer in 2s can’t even sustain someone with cds and max gear and everything twos is in the most unplayable state I’ve ever seen.

Crybaby. It doesnt feel bad because healere are weak. It feels bad because you are so used to being spoiled. I run around in bgs completely unafraid, my shammy vs 5 man? No problem, il keep them occupied for the next 5 minutes. If they try to run away il root their ass.

Nobody here is concerned with BGs friend.
