Hey all,
I have been playing priest as my main since 2007 and untill MOP I have always enjoyed my char. In BC priest has been the strongest healer without any doubt also shadow was very well. In WOTLK again priest was the strongest healer till ICC and in ICC healing was not a joy anyway since it was all about spamming. Cataclysm came in and surprise! Priest was again the most OP healing class. I dont say other classes were bad but to be honest priest must be a mandatory healing class since we are the only class with 2 specs designated for healing. If you nerf priest healing then it means you just dont want players to play priest.
Now we are in MOP and I hate playing my priest. Our dps is sucky. In shadow spec you are always considered as a class to be burden on your 10 men HC raiding groups. Our disc spec is shiny now but when it comes to fights like Malkorok or Thok heroic, people ask you to go holy or leave. As an ordinary raider I am not able to keep 2 great set of healing specs for heroic progression. But I hate to leave my spot for somebody else while doing progress. I realized that Blizz will do this torture to priests all the time. I believe both priest specs in healing must be reliable in any fight under any condition. But unfortunately it is not...
Let's consider druids , shammies, pallies.... Have you ever heard that one of those healers are asked to leave their spot for some other healing class since they are not really strong for that fight? Nope they are always considered as reliable. They are designed as usefull in every single fight in SOO or previous raids.. But priests... for this fight go holy, for another go disc.... I hate to be a bouncing ball between different specs.... Also this is an awful thing to be pushed as a dual spec healer and not having a dps spec... Cause when it comes to soloing thing, it is a torture as a healer. You always have to beg one of your friends to help you.
Do you think it is right time to reroll another healing class? I read the alpha updates on forums and it seems like our shadow will be better as well as holy... But I just feel like I need to reroll another healing class before new patch hits and I start crying again "Booo why priests why...."
