So resto Shaman is still at the top?
Actually, the arguments are regarding Shamans overall, not Resto Shamans in particular. Clearly Resto Shaman doesnât offer a whole lot in favor of Disc Priests or Resto Druids.
Shamans have a great toolkit for the current dungeons, no doubt. But that doesnât make Resto Shamans OP in any shape or form. And this seems to be the argument that fueled this whole discussion to the point weâre at now.
It went from âsee, there are shamans in all the top keysâ to âyeahâŚI know Resto Shamans are not being taken anymore, but theyâre still the best healer for M+â.
Their arguments became void but their opinion didnât change. That is a sign.

When it is overpowered i wonder why the âwholeâ page is white.

All healers are overpowered? Some just more than others?
so now for all the Restoration shaman complainers, are u also going to complain about disc priest that CLEARLY DOMINATES High Keys.

Yeah, strangely i dont see the âAll healers except Priest undesired in m+â threads.
Also nerf shamans!
Might have something to do with the fact that at m+ level 12 and up there are roughly 60% Resto Shamans and only roughly 20% Disc Priests.
Itâs difficult to start a topic called âAll healers expect Priest undesired in m+â when another healing class is 3 times as desired across all relevant content. You blue guys donât need to worry. You will remain meta for the entire season 1 and possibly beyond. Even after your nerfs you are still by far the most popular. Blizzard doesnât seem to have a desire to destroy your spec at the moment. Letâs just hope they buff the other healers soon before they start quitting the game, which would lead to even longer waiting times in m+.
Theyâre not going to do that.
Iâm abandoning this season due to the state of holy priest, the problems were visible in the beta and they did nothing to address it and here we are, several months after launch and theyâve done no attempt to fix it.
If thereâs no changes in 11.1 Iâm just bailing on the whole expansion. No changes in 11.2 and I wonât even buy next expansion.
Honestly, only Holy Priest and Holy Paladin really need some attention?
Tell that to the 6.0% Mistweaver Monks, 3.9% Restoration Druids and especially the 2.1% Preservation Evokers at m+ level 12 and up. They might disagree.
I honestly donât care about how many of the top 100 players use certain specs, which drips down to the bottom ranks. We canât let the balance depend on that⌠Itâs all about viability.
What matters at that range is not something a buff is going to solve.
This dungeon favor shaman in unorganized group and disc in better organized ones espe with PP tanking.Nothing to do with those other spec lacking love.
Besided holy priest.
Mistewavers crank. I had one do 900k dps on a run I did. Iâve never seen anything close to that from other healers.

Of course buffs would solve it. They would just need to be correct buffs and thoughtful improvements. I wouldnât hold my breath for Blizzard to accomplish that though. All healers except Resto Shaman and Disc Priest need some serious attention right now.
For 20 years it has always been the best choice to simply re-roll to an S-Tier or at least A-Tier spec and stick with that until it inevitably gets nerfed into the ground. If you do that, you will at least be powerful for a while, sometimes for the duration of an entire expansion. If you choose to stick with a C-Tier spec for whatever reason, be prepared for an entire expansion of weakness and disappointment.
I feel like shaman has always excelled in pug group m+. Even when they were the worst healer in m+
You can save so many poor players with your toolkit.
