    Also, shareable Crimson Vial? Sweet, making rogues useful. Their own version of lock cookies. Crimson Vial with Healthstone will be like fruit punch with cookies after donating blood to Sylvanas' war.

    I doubt it will ever be universally mandatory since there's still a lot of fights where healing rain is devalued anyway due to movement or positioning (or the Y axis, thanks eel boss). It definitely makes it a lot more appealing for fights where you know there's going to be people in your rain, though. I honestly am not sure I can complain about Deluge being a useful choice in that situation. As it is, it's the only talent in that tier I never take.

    I mean, I'll wait to see what the number crunchers come up with but this reads to me like "Echo has some competition in some fights" more than "Deluge forever."

    The buff is being applied by Riptide, too. Not only Healing Rain.

    This is effectively a 20% flat out buff to single target healing.

    It works on Riptide on live too. The only thing changing is now it affects multiple heals rather than just CH. Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

    I didn't really address riptide because without echo that will be running on, what, three people max? It's a solid buff to that but I'm not sure stronger healing on a few people is enough to completely kill Echo either in all situations. Maybe ES will be DoA now, but ES is pretty subpar in most situations anyway.

    I understand what it's doing and I agree it's a big buff, but I'm just saying that I think there is still enough situational limitations that I don't think it will become universally mandatory. There are still fights where rshaman are going to be raid healing but not getting a ton out of HR where Echo is probably going to still be more appealing.

    There's an interesting tidbit buried in this. Apparently the description on the splash thing is "Lead the charge in the thrilling conclusion of the War Campaign." So that means that'll be over in 8.2.5?

    Oh, so it's just the unarmored Zulian tiger basically, being added to Classic?

    Thought it was a new model mount like the fanmade concept art on Reddit. Not bothered then.

    Yep, the War Campaign will end in 8.2.5.

    That leaves the big overarching endgame for 8.3, which is to my liking. Hoping 8.2.5 will mark the end of the AvH war for a decade or so.

    Yep, the War Campaign will end in 8.2.5.

    That leaves the big overarching endgame for 8.3, which is to my liking. Hoping 8.2.5 will mark the end of the AvH war for a decade or so.
    One can only hope. This version of the AvH story was somehow even worse than the last one, and I never thought that possible.

    Thought it was a new model mount like the fanmade concept art on Reddit. Not bothered then.
    Probably just updating old items in the database to have the same properties as other items of its kind.

    And Resto Shamans still bottom of the list for healers to bring. Nothing to see here, move along.

    Huh? If you are not raiding in Mythic, every healer is viable. If you are actually raiding in Mythic, then Shaman is by FAR the most "non-OP" desirable healer in the healing comp, mainly due to SLT and for its range damage output which is not too bad compared to every other but DP or Hpaladin. Please don't mislead people with such things when you have no clue about what is really happening in the healing meta.

    Fun fact : mythic overall healing logs from the last 2 weeks. Monk is officially the worst healer atm. Sham/Hpriest/druid being very close. (oh ofc, don't look at parses because... it's only parses. Max score is far more relevant in statistics)

    Raddon's nerf makes Baby Illidan cry. Why does Timewalking have to be such a huge chore, Blizz?

    Hello. I don't understand the following line of the Shaman:

    "Deluge Chain Heal heals Healing Wave, Healing Surge, and Chain Heal heal for an additional 20% on targets within your Healing Rain or affected by your affected by your Healing Rain or Riptide. Restoration Shaman - Level 30 Talent. Restoration Shaman - Level 30 Talent."

    What does it is actually means?

    Thanks,

    Deluge will be awesome for Mythic Plus. Can't wait to try it.

    Thanks,
    The tooltip is messy. The talent used to increase your Chain Heal by 20% on any target affected by Riptide or Healing Rain. Now it increases Healing Surge, Healing Wave and Chain Heal by 20% on any target affected by Riptide or Healing Rain. Makes it a pretty versatile and useful talent.

    It's a big buff to single target healing. In Mythic+ and PvP especially, considering you will usually have 1-3 Riptides up. One Riptide on the tank and one on the melee who is constantly taking damage (I PUG).

    I doubt the 20% will make it to live though. If it does, they need to adjust Earth Shield.

    I guess i should have specified what i was talking about. I am basically talking about M+ and not raiding. I do not raid at all as i find it boring as hell so M+ is really all i find enjoyable in this game anymore. There is always a better healer to bring to a M+ key honestly.
