Holy Nerf... 3.2 WTF

[AceofHarts]

You realize that int is a regen stat, which means where the only healer in the game that stacks full regen, thus we should have the most mana at the end of a fight. Take a druid and have them socket spirit in every single socet and see how there mana ends up.

We stack int, cuz if we dont stack int we cant use Holy Light heavily, if we dont use Holy Light heavily we put out pathetic heals. People constantly have the order wrong, we dont HL because we can, we have to use HL that much to do our job and every gear decision is based on being able to HL as much as possible

yes and thus the HOLY PALADIN, is the ONLY HEALER that can stack ONE STAT (intellect) and BE UBER EFFECTIVE. if a druid stacks pure spirit there not gonna be able to put out the healing power they could if they put in some spellpower and other gems of similar nature, but a PALADIN can STACK INTELLECT and SPAM 1 BUTTON, and OUTHEAL every other HEALER in the RAID without fearing GOING anywhere close to OOM, and you dont think this is completely OP?

I mean this is really getting old.. i mean seriously if its this big of a deal and you can't heal raids with these new "NERFS" you need to stop raidin.. period.. (and for all you HL spam healers--welcome to having to learn how to really play a paladin )

For one im excited about----Flash of Light now has an additional effect - If the target has the Sacred Shield effect, they heal an additional 100% over 12 sec.

We have a hot now... so on top of our uber heals we stack a hot on the MT also...

And on top of that Beacon is going to be more functional then it was so our heals might not have to always be on the MT (which is actually making us more viable healers).

200% of crap healing is still Crap. You also have to spend the additional 12% Mana for SS. (7% + 12%) < (7% + 7%). Nobody has said anything about the HoT stacking either, So I am guessing it wont.

Raid Bosses dont hit for FoLx2 damage They Hit for HL+HS amounts.

Well the beacon change is actually decent, and gives paladins a reason to use the ability
But if you continued to have limitless mana, then you'd be able to spam heals on 2 tanks, or just raid heal and MT heal. Boohoo, you can't spam 1 button over and over.
After patch 3.2 your class will have a new twist to it - that should make you excited - and blizz won't let pallys become crappy healers who go OOM - They already said they are targeting mana regen to be on par with resto shaman, and any decent resto shaman won't go OOM, even on hard modes :P

Every Holy Paladin uses Beacon When raiding. It wasnt that bad to begin with.
Paladin have "Limitless" Mana as you call it because they stack Int and use Divine plea and put up with the self imposed MS (-50% healing) Just to get Mana back.

That ONE button spamming was because it was the ONLY button that keeps tanks alive when facing Raid bosses.

Resto Shaman have Chain heal. Paladin Dont. End of comparison. Resto Shaman Dont go OOM because they are designed to use chain heal as raid healers. Their Single target healing is not as good as a Paladins.

Put a Resto shaman on MT healing duty and see how much mana they go through.

I mean ok so the hot isnt huge... but you HAVE to use FoL end of story.. if you don't your a nub and find another char because when the "NERF" comes your luck has run out... To top that off if ur not already puttin SS in your rotation your thoughts about this nerf being bad needs to multiply by ten...

As for the crap healing with a good gear'd HolyPally--raid buffed.. ill take a 7ishk FoL-7k hot anyday.. to go along with another 7ishk FoL less then a second later.. Not to say there isn't times when HL spam is needed but its not needed on every fight every second of the fight.. thats where the "HL spammers" are going to find a problem here very shortly.
