So… just look at the numbers… even the world 1st disc, is doing almost %40 less HPS then the world leaders on the same fight. Man… it is not %5… not %10… it is 40 f-ing %.
I have tons of comments, criticism and suggestions on this to be honest but… I really wonder what you people and blizz… have to say about this.
I think Blizzard tries to balance Discipline around that niche where its healing goes up and down like a rollercoaster. It’s peaks and valleys. And the strength lies in the healer’s ability to time those peaks and valleys according to the boss damage.
So rather than healing a fair amount all the time, you instead heal a lot during the short moment you have to.
It’s a careful and fragile balance that also asks a lot of the player’s ability to play Discipline properly and perfectly. And I’m not sure if Blizzard have been very successful so far in Dragonflight.
We can’t even claim that part either, which is ironic. The ONE damage oriented healer in the game is pushing out worse damage than say, a Druid, a HEALING oriented healer. Or prevoker. Or a HOLY priest for crying out loud.
This seems more of a problem of getting your attomen out, was noticing that during leveling in dungeons, in PvP you have 3 or 2 player max too put your attomen up the rest off the time you can use your globals for damage
I cannot see it work in raids or dungeons wenn more then 5 people take damage, wo you have too pic talents for aoe healing and need too ignore the one that would pusch your damage
So the only use of Disc in PVE is Doom and Rapture too cheese a mechanic?
You are literally looking at the “top discs” healing scores friend. there aint no better than that. and they are performing %40 worse than overall.
this is also now not there. disc damage is -maybe- “ok”. no where it supposed be.
on my eyes, disc has not even that use now.
the problem is, all healers have kind of 1-2 button raid wide big heals without a preperation requirement. atonement healing is -unlike the general perception- “pure hot” healing. on the days of our “spirit shell”, we were sniping the heals of others. but now the shell is gone and we are left with a “weak hot heal which requires a ton of just-in-time casts” all healers are now sniping our heals as they already fill the HPs so fast with CDs, even on my ramp my heal is most of the times stolen. atonement is now already weak and it is also being sniped.
and that’s why, at the moment its no longer about skill. the “best” discs in the world, as you see, are %40 behind of the overall bests of the rest.
spirit shell has to come back. no way around other. or blizz has to take away other healers’s 1 button BOOM AOE heals too.
