Feels like many of you are overreacting to this patch nerf, but maybe that's because I have a rather decently geared paladin. I don't feel that paladins are worse at every fight at all. Before the patch we topped pretty much every together with disc priests. Perhaps disc priests require some adjusting aswell as druids after this patch, but if you're so against this new 'slow' playstyle then there are many other healing classes you could reroll. Imagine how shamans feel
Edit: To clarify, the issue is mainly with absorbs at this point, and I think that if they rework the potency of absorbs in general I'm sure our healing outside of IH will look a lot more significant.
