For raids, I hear some of you saying 12-16 PW:R are ideal for the burst phase; how do you target the people you cast it on? I find myself randomly clicking someone in melee, randomly clicking a caster, and maybe a tank or something and hoping for the best. Any tips on how to accurately spread those out would be great!
Next, I'm a big Diablo fan as well. I love the addition of Mythic+ dungeons, but I'm afraid that Disc will never quite be able to push that content like Holy (or other healers). Currently, when there is high damage in 5mans, you have to Shadowmend a ton. It works, I get that, but it's also one button. It can do the job, but I don't really enjoy it (and I can't imagine others do as well) because it forces you to abandon the whole point of disc: igniting your enemies in holy fire to heal your allies. Once we don't overgear the content, I can imagine Disc will have a very hard time keeping tanks alive. Then again, maybe I'm just not getting something?
Lastly, someone mentioned Barrier will be really good in legion. How so? From my cursory (noobish) glance, it lost 75% of its effectiveness, lol.
Thanks, all. For the most part, the discussions you're having are very informative. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying a ton of people have bookmarked this thread to keep their finger on the pulse of Disc, so-to-speak.
