    Should Blizz increase the mana-drain protection on resilience?

    There's been a lot of talk about how quickly healers can go oom in cata, and how expensive their heals are compared to now. It seems that if something isn't done, mana drain teams/classes are going to dominate in pvp. Easiest way to fix this is probably increasing that protection from resilience. Any other ideas? Or to anyone in beta is this not the case at all?

    Well.. That would be a great idea. If resilience actually protected you from mana-drains at all in Cata. The reduction in chance to be critically hit, reduction in critical damage, and reduction on mana-drains has all been removed for Cata. The only thing resilience does now is "Reduces damage taken from players and their pets or minions by x."

    Wow just thought they had taken off the crit protection. Blizz should definitely get some sort of protection for healers. Either bringing that part of resilience back or a huge nerf to mana drains in general.

    I personally believe that resilience is not a good fix for this. They did that kind of stuff to balance a broken system during WotLK, so why go back to it? I believe mana drains should have a slight mechanic change and enforce DRs to them. This way you aren't forced into resilience to be protected, stacking mana drains is ineffective(resilience can't protect against this) and can be BALANCED ACCORDING.

    Resilience cannot do the things DR can. Balance numbers around time, not more unpredictable numbers
