Based on what im seeing, form an elementals perspective, we lost almost all of our sustain. It seems the only healing spell we now have is healing surge, but we lost healing rain, stone bulwark, flames of life, healing stream, ancestral guidance, natures guardian sham rage and more or less all forms of healing/absorbs and are left with only surge and the artifact traits that buff it and auto heal at low health.
i dont have access to alpha so maybe im missing the fact that any of them are still there but it feels like our sustain is gone. Spriest heal by doing dmg and have bubble/PW:S, Balance have resto affinity and many defensives. They are our hybrid caster/healer counterparts but it feels like we just have the lowest by alot, even compared to classes that shouldnt be healing.
If anyone on alpha can shed some light on this it would be much appreciated. If not R.I.P. our already poor pvp.
Thanks,
concerned Shaman.
