Still wondering why I play this game.
I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.
BM dps macro from BC says hello. Since your location says "hunter forums", you should be familiar with that one. Oh, and shadowbolt spam from BC too.
Yeah, the DPS stand in fire! That's the goddamn problem: mechanics are designed to put a DPS from 100 to 20%, and your tools do not allow you to keep them up. Now keeping them up against everything would be stupid, but you should be able to get at least some margin of manoeuver. Not to mention tank health pools, where even 500K+ crits barely top them up.

You can try to fit me in a box, only to see me burst out of it.
Mountains rise in the distance stalwart as the stars, fading forever.
Roads ever weaving, soul ever seeking the hunter's mark.
My strongest heal is a drop in a bucket currently. I thought it was Item Lvl which is likely a part of it but the tanks manage to heal themselves for quite a bit. I noticed this last night running violet prison with a prot paladin. Hots did shit, healing touch even when it crit was a drop in the buck nothing kept him up except himself basically. It wasn't so bad healing the dps, theyd take some dmg from making a mistake but the hots could top them back up easily.
I tried healing my dk tank buddy, 3.2 million hp his hps was nuts.
I loved to heal in wod, people could drop fast but we could also top them fast.
It was a much faster healing game, and very exciting.
Now, people take a little less damage, but our heals are so weak, spamming the fastest heal 10 times in a row to keep someone from dying isnt fun. Preserving mana can be fun, but that should mean that mana hungry spells are powerful.
Maybe its a gear thing, does anyone remember what healing highmaul was like? Was it similar to this?
It was actually during the pre-Cata patch where holy pallys were nasty. I wish I had footage of that. Probably the most OP a class has ever been. Get a set of the cheap arena gear they gave out during the pre-patch and go into a BG. You decided who lived or died, would take 5-6+ people to kill you and you could kill them with a few exorcisms.
Perhaps we should buck the trinity thing and add a support role. Support deals damage, but also applies handy buffs to party/ debuffs to enemy(s)/ some degree of AOE healing either by DPSing or a spell. (Or any combination of those.) And to do that, enhancement can return to what it was in BC and wrath... DPS that aids the group in a few small ways.
The majority of players in this massive game are also Embarassingly bad at it. That's why Mythic dungeons are irrelevant: because the players who are doing them are either good enough that the content is too easy for them, or so shitty that they don't belong there in the first place.
People don't always want to do that and until now they didn't have to. You could easily quest as a healer and keep grinding along. Now it is a serious pain in the ass for most healong specs and due to the way the weapon works you are punished, even if only a small degree, for having multiple weapons. Beyond that just because you like a healing spec doesn't mean you like the fps option tied to it. For myself I like resto druid, but absolutley hate feral and balance. The same is true for other players and classes.
"Privilege is invisible to those who have it."
If they're irrelevant, why force those retarded mechanics on people playing them?
Also, lol@"irrelevant" in respect to something played by a big part of the playerbase.

I leveled as holy all the way to 110. Yeah it was a bit slow, but not by that much. And dumping all the AP in the healing weapon was awesome.

most (all?) healing specs are much better at dealing damage (i.e. questing) now than they ever have been, I dunno what you're on about
