    Gear plays into healing tremendously. Also disc priest is probably the worst of the healers to use as an example. They are actually mind numbingly boring at the moment with how atonement is.

    Back to OP. Luckily my healing core of 4-5 people has been the same for almost 2 tiers, not including this one. However my guild personally has had a person who switched to dps and our resto druid is giving blizz one more full patch to see if they fix or can improve druid healing. Our disc priest crushes meters with atonement, second is usually myself (pally) or our holy priest and by the time our druids hots things he's already been sniped. Shamans aren't "amazing", and they're not "bad", but they could certainly be better. Atleast resto shamans bring very good utitlity with SLT, HST, MTT, good tank healing.

    I wouldn't say healing is necessarily bad or boring this xpac but I think certain classes are making it not fun or atleast uncompetitive for some. Right now I think dps classes have changed so much since cataclysm that people are changing to try them out or falling in love with a dps spec that was boring before MoP.

    MWs use 6 buttons regularly. It's the same for all healers. You really just do not use a lot of healing spells anymore.

    How the hell are you putting this on Blizzard and its game after you and your guild can't manage to keep a single healer

    Just for the sake of it. Name a time when you used more than 6-8 buttons regularly in previous expansions, not including using different level spells.

    I have mained a resto druid for over 6 years now, but if they don't get in gear to make us comparable to absorb healers, I'll probably switch to my warlock. This expansion has really been frustrating for me.

    In Cata I played a Shaman:

    Riptide
    CH
    GHW
    LHW
    HR
    Unleash Elements
    Lightning Bolt
    Water Shield (;DDDDD)
    Earth Shield

    Excludes the myriad of totems, Bloodlust, and other cds (Spiritwalker's etc).

    What is a lot of healing spells?
    I seem to use most of my healing spells as a resto shaman.
    Healing wave
    Greater healing wave
    Healing surge (not a lot though, except for tortos after quake)
    Riptide
    Earth shield
    Unlesh element + healing rain combo
    Chain heal
    Healing stream totem + recall it for free healing on short cd
    And all the cd's we got with MoP to manage - Healing Tide Totem + Ascendance + Elemental totem if talentet

    Seems fine to me

    By that logic dps has always been hardest.

    Because following a strict prioritation of spells and handling mechanics is a lot harder than reaction based healing and handling mechanics. (Haha).

    But if you can provide an armory link to your mistweaver and logs. I'd be happy to judge you, based on the statement about healing being childs play.

    Healing is child's play. It's bloody easy. I laughed at how easy Lei Shen heroic was as a Mistweaker. It's an actual joke. You need to know nothing.

    I haven't noticed much of a decrease, at least not more than any other role.

    Well, you were not in on your guilds first kill, and maybe not progress either(?). So you killed it on a farm run 3 resets later.

    It might be that mistweaver has it easier on lei shen because of not being targeted by Thunderstruck and can because of it stand where ever the hell you want. But healing is not childs play. If I could choose my role on Lei shen HC and it was based around having an easier time, I would pick dps. Especially melee dps.

    I think it's unfair to say dps is harder because of the practical impossibility to perform 100%, so the best players might be able to pull 90-98% of their theoretical maximum dps.

    Either way, opinions are opinions.

    Bad example there. An assassination rogue is easy as hell to play. The rotation is easy and doesn't take very many abilities. Nothing about it is hard. Saying dps as a whole is harder than healing is false. They are both about the same. Some specs are easier and harder but overall it is the same. Just because you find being dps hard doesn't mean it really is.

    And as for you saying heroic lei shen was easy to heal. You did it with a guild that had already downed it multiple times and weren't even there for progression. Seriously bad examples on your part.

    Did you not read? Two went dps. Found out they hate healing. Lost two to RL stuff. Lost one to dpsing. Lost another because one of the shamans left. We lost the last one because they thought we weren't listening to them ever. This was purely a string of bad luck. Not once Did I ever blame blizzard either. Read the op instead of going on a rant.

    Out of that nothing else.

    U can see it very well especially as mistweaver when someone decicdes to suddenly die in "fire" even thou he had liek 5 balls laying on ground just next to him so picking them up and saving himself would take like 0.5 sec of his dps but no he woudl rather stay in place and smash dps numebrs even thou enrages at least on normal are non existant ><

    I imagine if it is happening its cos of discs and a little monks. What the point in bringing a shamy when u can get more healing out of a priest AND 20+ mill dmg on the boss. I imagine most druids feel that way to. If people cant find guilds they either go dps, give up or reroll.
