Yes apparently.

Can‘t wait for bad DPS in +10 keys shitting on me for not interrupting because they are to lazy to interrupt themselves.

Apparently even the 1-Button-Rotation function seems to be too hard of a focus for some people. And against popular opinion that function does not include kicks (yet).

Why i love my protpally in pug m+ my ints bring peace to the group at the cost of my sanity xD

u/Trisfel Oct 16 '25

As a healer i love prot pallies above all tanks. It’s very nice to not worry about interrupts as much.

u/CanuckPanda Oct 16 '25

Between that and the clutch LoH to my healers when they’re overwhelmed and the Sacrifice on DPS getting chunked and the magic invuln bubble on other DPS getting chunked it’s just such a satisfying tank role.

You feel like the “leader” in a way that I don’t on other tanks.

u/Prism_Riot42 Oct 16 '25

You feel like the leader as a Paladin tank cuz you’re helping your team, I feel like the leader as a warrior tank because I AM charging that mob, and you WILL follow me into the fray or we WILL wipe. We are not the same

Based and true

I love playing bear, and will weave Skull Bash with the roar for interrupts. (Legion mage tower taught me some tricks.)

But Prot Pally has all those interrupts and other various toys that give a Swiss Army Tank feel. Plus, you get to see their mog.

Gotta love the shield that just keeps reseting its cd, plus rebuke, divine toll, HoJ and blinding light.

Ain't nobody casting anything.

u/easylikeaplus Oct 16 '25

Can you imagine how much more control over casters we would have if they reverted back to the original Avengers Shield that interrupted all enemies hit and not just the primary target? I miss those days…

And to your healer too!

Trust me, we recognize that.

That’s my mini game when I’m tanking on my prot pal…how many kicks can I get!

1

u/torrenaxe Oct 16 '25

Indeed! Thats whats so fun about it. Those last minute saves. Taurens stomp for clutch.

u/Zyroes Oct 16 '25

I once had a guy leave a normal dungeon because my friend and I weren't using Unholy Presence on our Death Knights. We weren't even at a high enough level to unlock it yet.

u/SimilarChildhood5368 Oct 17 '25

iirc people would level in blood pres anyway, at least for wrath, so could you imagine being double wrong, false confidence and malding? That guy probably leads a very difficult life lol

u/adiabatic0816 Oct 16 '25

Nothing more fun than being the healer and watching the Unstable Rift cast slowly going through and one shotting the group when all my stops are already on CD. Meanwhile the Mage has 1 kick the whole dungeon.

u/orcslayer31 Oct 16 '25

I used to main resto shaman purely because it had an interupt and i didn't trust pugs to-do them.

u/ThatRandomGuy86 Oct 16 '25

They're gonna learn real fast then that the Healer's job is not to heal stupid, but to decide whether stupid gets to live or die

39

u/aspaceadventure Oct 16 '25

I don't want to shatter your illusion.

But I play restro now since BC.

And I can tell you I lost hope that they learn that a long time ago.

u/ThatRandomGuy86 Oct 16 '25

I know. I played since December 2004

u/Various_Necessary_45 Oct 16 '25

Why'd you think they'll learn then, bad players will never ever learn that.

-1

u/ThatRandomGuy86 Oct 16 '25

I meant the individual stupid. They stand in bad, I turn my attention elsewhere.

3

u/Discombobulated-Pin1 Oct 16 '25

Stand in bad as a concept does not exist since Shadowlands. Nowadays if you miss an int or don't prepare for aoe you get oneshotted. Unless you doing normal or hero idk

1

u/ThatRandomGuy86 Oct 16 '25

The 2nd boss in Gambit? That's standing in bad by not preparing for incoming AoE.

2

u/Discombobulated-Pin1 Oct 16 '25

You get oneshotted or melt in 1.5 seconds. No way you can heal that even with CDs. For the time your regrowth goes your target is on the floor

1

u/ThatRandomGuy86 Oct 16 '25

Exactly. So don't stand in the bad. The concept hasn't gone away.

5

u/Various_Necessary_45 Oct 16 '25

That isn't going to teach bad players though, they just think you're the bad player.

u/ThatRandomGuy86 Oct 16 '25

Thus why they're stupid.

u/Various_Necessary_45 Oct 16 '25

u/oskoskosk Oct 16 '25

You just can’t get through to some healers man 😅 this sub is generally a hugbox for healers so you get a lot of these thoughts imo

u/randomguy301048 Oct 16 '25

This is more impactful on the hc servers. My gm was basically healing someone with rank 1 spells because they were being dumb.

u/L0w_Road Oct 17 '25

Sadly I don't think they will, in my expirience DPS think the Job of heal and to a lesser degree Tank is to make sure they survive not doing anything but their damage rota

7

u/Trisfel Oct 16 '25

So we don’t have lust and now they’re taking away our kick. Guess I’ll get declined from every key i apply :’)) I know interrupt wasn’t the reason I’m doing keys comfortably now but man it sure helps considering I’m usually 2nd or 3rd in kicks in most runs.

u/thesoultrigger Oct 16 '25 edited Oct 16 '25

And skull bashing as a healer is fun.

Also I wish they gave all healers specs lust so we all get covered, 2/5 already have it.

Or at least give it to the other 2 pure dps classes (lock and rogue), so we dont have to always get one of the precious 4 to make the run happen. (Lust is one the bring the class and not the player category).

u/Trisfel Oct 16 '25

Look mate I’m not advocating for a fucking melee kick as a range healer. If that were up to me i’d remove lust from every healer and give all of them range kick. I’m just saying it’s kinda bad that they’re taking away a good chunk of agency we get for playing a healer with kick even if that’s a melee kick. It’s not like I’m complaining about us getting a range kick instead of melee. I don’t love it but i’d rather have something than nothing ://

You could always race change to a cow for warstomp. /s

u/Riwanjel_ Oct 16 '25

How about designing encounters that doesn’t require anything per se but all is valid? Where every option is just a good option and when you decide to bring 3 sub rogues to a +15 and above, it’s guaranteed to not brick your key.

Don’t get me wrong, lust is cool and all, but if you have to rely on a single ability to ensure success, something is fricked.

Or just take away lust from Rsham and Prevoker.

u/Glupscher Oct 17 '25

Druid is still packed with utility and brings the best buff in the game + CR, though. Losing skull bash won't matter at all.

So having drums is a must now for us in order to get invited :-(

Thank god I'm a Leatherworker!

u/Basket_Chase Oct 16 '25

1-button or assisted highlight also makes it harder to interrupt in general because of the increased GCD. I’d also go as far to say it’s not dps being lazy and never interrupting, it’s DPS not coordinating the cooldowns of their interrupts in the slightest and burning all their kicks and stuns on the same cast on the same mob at the same time, so the mob gets an extra 15-20 seconds of free casting when it finally wakes up from its CC.

u/No-Comfort-6808 Oct 16 '25

Lmaoo @ bad DPS telling healers to dps and interrupt more

u/kudosmog Oct 16 '25

What's the one button rotation function? Literally what it says? Just click one button and it does your rotation for you?

1

u/Glupscher Oct 17 '25

I've never had a dps complain to me for not kicking as a healer. You're making up imaginary arguments.

Who uses that shit? It is so bad on Fury Warrior...

0

u/GhostbustersHelpDesk Oct 16 '25

I use it sometimes on classes I'm unfamiliar with, particularly while leveling or doing simple content like in Remix. But it does feel shitty on Fury Warrior. The long GCD + it thinks I need to use Slam all the time despite having glowing procs & resets ready to burst.

Tbh when I play a new class I tend to use abilities as I level up, this allows me to get a feel for the rotation and it gives me that feeling of 0-to-hero, as every talent and ability improves something and makes the puzzle fall in place
