How bad was the hybrid healing nerf?

[SuperomegaOP]

I think it happened in 5.1?

I dont know too much about it or which classes got nerfed but all i know is enh shamans healing got cut in half which pretty much killed the class for me at-least

how are druids and monks? ret pallys got nerfed most likely even though this change was mostly for shadow priests

seeing that power was already 50% effective for healing, power being only dps or healing depending on spec wasn't that big of deal, hurt ret the most since they are kinda designed around being an of healer, which in the long run hopefully is changed since you lead into very stupid things like triple dps last season.

Kinda sucks for Enhance, as you said. I've been trying to gear mine up (2 pieces left to full dread) and it's like "YES 5 STACK MAEL" *29k* "....hooray..."
If we have to sacrifice our damage for a crappy heal at least give us 2-3 stacks of Mael refunded if it's consumed by a heal imo. :3

triple dps was just as much dependent on the power of rogues last season as it was on the power of rets.

it was a dumb comp, i agree and i'm glad that they broke it, but it shouldn't have been at the cost of gutting ret's survivability which is based around the same active healing systems as it's offheals are.
