It happened in even 2 globals, I doubt that warriors will do low burst after the nerf.
Cc requires a global and? are you popping your cds to cc someone?
Why do people cry about second wind so much, maybe not popping cooldowns at start would help.
also main reason you cant seem to kill a secondwind warrior is perhaps cause they usually use it in combination with either shieldwall or dbts, and def stance.
Which is their standard ( OH SHIT HES TRYIN TO KILL ME ) reaction, its where you cc him , and switch.
So a stun and 2 blanket silences that is... Frost mages require some setup if they want to deal massive damage in such a little timeframe, spriests burst is from a DoT and warlock burst is extremely easy to avoid, because it takes to cast a chaosbolt...
Also, silences are the lot less dangerous in comparisation to stuns for healers since they still have the ability to freely move around and abuse LoS...
So like I said, the chances that you'll die in 2-3 gcd from 2 dps as a healer is stupidly low. You really need something stupid such as 2 warriors popping their "oneshot" macros on you at the same time.
1. You need fewer drugs, they're doing you no good. Landing a chaosbolt + frostbomb isn't that hard at all. You simply must not allow the enemy time to dispell the frost bomb before the chaosbolt hits. Stop trying to make it out to be hard to deal damage, it really isn't. DPS is the most simple thing in WoW.
2. No it isn't fine, no it isn't low. I saw it happen to our discipline priest, and if you're talking about PvP then he made Hero of the Horde last season. He didn't even get to react before he died, through pain sub.
3. You don't seem to know any decent DK's. :|
1) Good luck with having a frostbomb, with cooldowns, not being dispelled for 6 seconds and casting a 3 sec chaosbolt with cooldows on top of that... It just doesn't happen unless you play at 1k rating. A healer will do whatever he can to dispel that frostbomb and the rest of his team will do whatever they can to prevent the warlock with darksoul from casting that chaosbolt...
Honestly, the fact you think it's easy to land a chaosbolt says enough.
2) Yeah disc priests, weren't those very underpowered in PvP? Also, are we actually talking about arena or did that just happen while he was being 1v2 in a random battleground, because it just doesn't happen in arena.
3) I'm a season 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 gladiator and hero of the horde in season 9 and 10, I'm fairly sure I know plenty of good death knights.
That's not the whole picture though. HPs are more effective due to resilience so even with 0 PvP power and 0 PvP Resilience, you're "effective" healing is already higher than in PvE:
70% healing / 60% damage taken = 16% more effective.
PvP Power only increases this effect. Add in gear (and my gear isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, mostly unupgraded 458s with no PvP weapon):
70% healing * 125% healing / 41% damage taken = 113% more effective.
That doesn't negate other people's point in the thread that perhaps burst is too powerful or other balancing concerns.
i honestly dont get the change.
"burst is too strong"
"cc is too strong"
so they nerf healing which MAGNIFIES the burst problem.
I didnt think ghostcrawler, or any of the devs, were this clueless. how does this at all remedy the situation?

second wind OP? better nerf ret, enhance, and ferals.
Still a good change, no more invincible healers, standing there doing nothing but healing themselves and the entire BG team without any consequences is awesome. Watching BGs go from 70% healers to almost none cracks me up..My druid and shaman are doing just fine btw, maybe it's a L2P thing for the rest of you lol.
I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species.
Healers get nerfed so classes without ridiculous burst get a chance to actually kill healers, and also to reduce hybrid healing since it was simply to strong.
When healing is reduced, they can start reducing burst, since stupid amounts of burst are no longer needed to kill a healer, and in addition to that they can also reduce the amount of cc going on when that is done.
If they'd reduce cc first, the only way to kill a healer would be with massive burst, making it impossible for classes with "normal to low" burst to kill a healer.
If they'd reduce burst first, you'd need a crapton of cc to bring a healer down, but since there already is a crapton of cc going on, it will again be near impossible to kill a healer.
Because obviously you're going to let that frostbomb explode on it's own instead of putting it up at the same time the chaosbolt goes of then immediatly throwing the pet nova and detonating it hoping to either be faster then the healer can register it and react or that his dispell is still on cd. Saying all of that takes 6+ seconds is just plain wrong. The biggest problem is getting the chaosbolt of and that's far from impossible.
He was playing 3on3. They swapped, popped CD's and curb stomped him through pain sub and shield before his mates could get them off him.2) Yeah disc priests, weren't those very underpowered in PvP? Also, are we actually talking about arena or did that just happen while he was being 1v2 in a random battleground, because it just doesn't happen in arena.
Impressive, link to your char?3) I'm a season 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 gladiator and hero of the horde in season 9 and 10, I'm fairly sure I know plenty of good death knights.
[/COLOR]Yes, a nerf to healing is an obvious l2p issuue.
To most healers, including myself, the change barely affects me at all. No healer was invincible, if they were then the dps on your team are a bunch if idiots or VERY undergeared. Or both.
Another possibility is simply the healer you claim was invincible was just that much better then the other teams damage dealers.

Honestly, I cba to go on with this argument, you simply aren't going to have a frost bomb and a chaosbolt land on a healer on the same time unless he's cc'ed for a long time and his partners are idiots...
This thread is cute. I don't know about what hybrid numbers are supposed to look like in arenas/RBG, but in regular BGs in full dreadful without T1 weap I manage 3-6mil healing per bg as a Boomkin. That seems solid to me considering my damage is legit also, but I guess I should be outhealing the pure healers also right?
