So I’ve been playing the spec for about 5 hours, healing output is overall good although it’s sort of hard to get off sometimes. Considering this is a heavy Mastery Stack healer with almost 0 benefit of getting Haste stat, it would be a decent idea to reduce the internal GCD on some core spells to make the class feel more fluid.
I’ve found myself stuck between global cooldowns for example getting a heal out then being charged and feared by a Warrior, I know what he is going to do and I am mashing my Tremor button as he charges me, yet the GCD is so bad that my Tremor never went off, so I have to sit a full 7 second Fear.
Maybe put lower internal GCD on totems specifically?
That’s always been how shaman works you need to press your globals smart let’s not reduce the skill cap of it you can also get the haste trinket and craft one other haste piece shaman is just not made for solo shuffle that’s all.
Wheelchair healer… Even npcs in wintergrasp have more mobility… Only skill required ability is how acurate u aim your totems rest is fully automated bloat and how u manage gcd on grounding totem.
Nearly all the healer specs stack haste or a mix of mastery and haste (Prevoker,Rdruid, Hpriest,Disc priest etc). Rsham seems to be an exception, as haste is very useless outside of having it for GCDs.
As a comparison, some DPS classes have fixed GCDs overall (Rogue and Windwalker have a permanent 1 sec GCD even if you’re 0% haste) and other classes have GCD reduction on specific spells.
Don’t see why Rsham can’t get this quality of life change, it won’t make it broken it will just make it feel better as a spec overall. Finding workarounds to problems which are more related to poor design isn’t even close to a solution for such things.
