Sadly this man doesn't have Beta access. Hows the resto shaman coming along, i'm torn between the resto shaman, disc priest and holy paladin to main for BFA.
anyone got beta access and had a chance to play them a bit to give us unlucky sods and idea of how they are playing and feel?

From the commentaries I've watched on youtube it seems promising in both raid and M+, I got the beta today so I will test healing specs myself because I'm pretty much on the same boat as yourself: trying to decide what healer to pick for BfA.

good luck with the beta, let me know what you think of the healers as i can't pick at the moment all the videos aren't broad enough to make an opinion on without playing it.

Right now you can have: Downpour, Healing Rain, and Wellspring (current build). However, aside from loss of AG, not much difference.

I don't know about raid, but I'm rather concerned for it in m+. The number tuning is butchered at the moment so it's hard to tell, but the loss of defensive artifact traits and AG is something I'm not looking forward to.

Rshaman feels super bland, but so does quite a lot of healers at the moment. The pruning hit hard, and it feels like you are playing an extremely baseline version of your legion spec. You basically use the same 4 spells, and sometimes a HTT/HST

Don't we have a cheat death talent now though? I'm hoping that helps. I don't have beta but I thought a final boss first pass video mentioned it. I'm not too sad with AG going. It always seemed like a weird talent when we had Ascendance but I know a lot of people loved it. Originally Posted by ItsTiddles

AG adds 20% on 3 injured targets -(so 60%) with a big range. Double dips from Cloudburst totem, and abusing this was one of the interesting things of the spec. Originally Posted by Thalem

AG is better in most raiding situations. Ascendance should be used with AG (or with Velen) basically.
I'd gladly trade ascendance for AG.

2018-05-09, 07:52 PM #9DeletedIt can cheat death but only if the overkill doesn't outdamage your cheat death heal. And if it kills you over 35% with one swoop it won't kick in either right now on the beta, which is supposedly a bug. We hope. Originally Posted by Thalem

Doubt I'd take it in raids, definitely would in M+.
Like someone said as well, most healers feel a bit bland right now due to the loss of artifact traits. I've played Holy Paladin, Resto Shaman and Resto Druid, and while all 3 are looking solid again for BfA, they are a bit boring. But i'll take boring performance over a fun shit show

Yeah, I see it mostly as a mythic+ talent myself. Hopefully most classes seem bland and boring because of gear. I know when I did TW on my mage, the lack of haste really made me want to pull my hair out. Hopefully it's something like that plus not having all the Azerite gear or whatever is the new leggos/artifact stuff in BFA. Originally Posted by Myz
