The numbers from beta seem really low, which is congruent with my predictions.
I fear holy paladin pve in legion will be shit.
TLDR: Even if the numbers are there, no raiding guild would want their healer always in the thick of it, losing time moving in close and getting hit by fire in the process, always has been like that
