Are people seeing a healer problem in TWW

I said what i said since i dropped my resto druid, made a shammy and played the same dungeons with the same gear levels. I am speaking in terms of personal experience and not some hyperbole. When both actions roughly tend to achieve the same goal this gets noticed. I noticed how easy it is for shammies to heal. There are reasons as to why shammies are good. I am not here to argue that but the seeing how many are up there speaks for itself.

I have tried druids. And here is where I disagree :

That 1 button you say heals the same as you in 12 globals ? I wont argue with that.

What I will argue is that we had that button in DF too. An expansion where 1/2 of it RDruids were meta with their 12 globals.

So… what is your point again here ? If we are so OP now. Why weren’t we OP in DF ?

And since i know that rdruids healing is based on multiple stacked heals, there will never ever be one single simple solution to equal a shammies totem. The only thing that comes close is convoke.

Fact of the matter is that when it comes to pure HPS RShaman is not the best. PEvoker and HPala pump out more.

And the fact that RDruid needs some love. And that they made a terrible mistake with those NPC trees… Has nothing to do with RShaman.

Because you could also argue that HPala heals people with 1 lay on hands when you need 12 globals. Or PEvoker with 1 dream breath that does the same as your 12 globals.

You simply picked RShaman because they are over-represented. And that is a huge bias from your part.

There are reasons as to why shammies are at the top of the list.

Let me explain why Shammies are good now.

(A) Dungeon dispels.
(B) Synergy with melee classes
(C) Raid Buff
(D) Utility

The (A) is particularly atrocious. There is literally nothing but curses and AoE poison mechanics. And it should not be like that. They did NOT learn their lesson from S2 Exodia comp. And it shows.

There should not be any AoE that can be dispelled. By any healer. And every other debuf in the dungeons should be either dispelable by ALL healers, or by NONE.

And (D)… druids also have a ton of utility. But never in history has there been a dungeon pool where each and every single utility of Shaman is so useful. And this should not be the case. Utility should not allow you to cheese bosses. It should simply make them slightly easier.

Literally that. Because everything else, including “dropping a totem” is something we had in DF. And HPS wise we are middle of the pack.
