I play disc for 3 expansions, and I played it in the start of cata and I played it pretty much any time its been at least close to holy. I will play it in 5.2 as well as much as its possible without gimping my raid - and you will not hear me complaining that I have to play holy. And I play it because, for me, it is fun. I dont give a shit about being hard, there is nothing especially hard about pushing some buttons in a video game. I do harder things irl, I'm sure it's not a limited intellect that keeps me from playing holy. And I find it insulting when somebody puts me in the same box with all the fotm re-rollers. So what should I do, stop playing or reroll when my specc is OP?
But you dont get this. You dont get the fact that some ppl just dont like holy. Not because it's too hard, but because it is an extremely passive style that makes my brain feel like a dragging snail. It's slow. You find it fun to count drops on your mana bar, I dont. I find it fun to spend as much of it without getting into trouble. I like the fact that I can actively do something about my mana, and being better at that gives me more mana to spend, instead of just piling spirit on my gear and counting my spells. You think that just because disc got a truckload of buffs, all the ppl playing it are just freeloaders that do it because it's a free IWIN button. Noway could a normally skilled person just choose to play disc out of their free will.
Holy cds:
- lightwell - 3 mins
- DH - 3 mins
- GS - 3 mins
- chakra- 30 seconds
- coh - 6/8 seconds
- holy words
- serendipity - not a cd, but it has a duration to track, needs 2 casts to max. When you got it, you use it, because if you dont, you'll just waste it, and there is no loss in using it.
Disc cds:
- holy fire - 10 seconds
- evangelism - not a cd, but same as serendipity, its a duration to track. Needs 5 casts. Using it to only continue smiting or not casting heals for the duration of archangel is a loss
- penance - 10 sec cd
- rapture 12 seconds. WS - 15 seconds, grace-15 seconds, aegis- 15 seconds, pws - 15 seconds.
- archangel - 30 seconds cd
- spirit shell 1 min cd
- barrier- 3 mins cd
- PS- 3 mins cd
Evidently I didn't list common cds like cascade and pom, which both speccs have. You count how much cds each specc has to manage.
That is your personal opinion. Just because the specc is overbuffed right now and a lot of windowlickers do fine with it by spamming one button doesn't mean the specc is easy. It's just broken by stupid buffs. I had to re-learn to play disc every expansion so far, it felt like a new class every time. Holy didn't change that much really.
How hard is it to just say they are different and not judge one to be "easier" than other? why the need to say yours is harder? does it make you feel smarter or why?
I think you meant "holy priest" there, or your statements dont make sense.
