For the brag of solo content, you guys completely ignored healers, Brann have no tank spec, I have to spam heal myself to survive, cause he doesn’t take aggro, (I have done delves 8+ and got gear) but the complaint is, there are actually players out there, that enjoys playing healer, even for solo content, me myself as a healer main, I had to go dps to even have a chance, at least Torgast and other “Solo” content, had benefits as healer.

I never liked to switch elemental as resto shaman either, so i can somewhat understand, however elemental is in much better state now tho ? have you least tried that ?, anyway you can ignore that question you still have a point.
As a tank i do not switch to dps either just to clear the delve, so why should healer have to ?, its not really fair when you consider it this way.

Yeah the scaling is exactly the same as healer, so things are just unkillable, they can die, but the amount of time it takes to kill 1 ad with 10-12 mil HP and that’s a non elite, is just not worth it, they did not care about healers at all that’s for sure.

I found T8 delves easier to do solo as a healer than as a caster. But it wasn’t fun at all. Just easier.
For me the solution is to just do them in a group. It’s faster, easier, and you get the same rewards. For me there is no benefit at all in doing them solo (no increased chance of a map, etc).

I think the point of a healer in this kind of content would be hard to balance as essentially Brann would be doing all the work while you simply heal him and he just holds aggro.
I don’t see exactly how they could make that challenging, fun and balanced with Brann.
I think Delves are meant more for you as the player to be doing the work. I haven’t tried delves on my disc priest, which is what i used to do some torghast runs on, but since Delves are much smaller places and Brann is accompanying you, i can see why they wouldn’t just have a purely tank role for him.
Brann has some fairly powerful moves though for dps, so i have ideas how i would run delves with my disc priest and i don’t foresee how there would be be issues with that combo
at least as prirst he mostly tanks my mobs, especially now that he has lvl 25. i barely have to heal him or myself.
but it still is super boring because stuff dies so slow
Of course it is slower, you are basically immortal as a healer and you want to clear delves as fast as if you were a DPS?
Of course not, that would be super unfair. Nobody would want to play as DPS if healers were safer AND had the same clear speed.
You exchange safety for time, and you will never have both. Go DPS if you want faster clears.
It only takes 8 minutes to kill the last boss, what’s the issue?

Then play a DPS spec and kill it in 2-3 minutes but at the risk of being able to die.
You want the best of both worlds, and that’s not gonna happen.
Actually that’s very easy to achieve, you just play DK or DH.

What risk?
I play moonkin, ret and shadow in delves, you cannot die on a +8 unless you play bad.

you are hardly immortal as a healer since they trashed pur heals.
i mean i get spam casted at with 1.2 mio dmg and my flash heal just healst for 500k
a caster pack will just delete you as fast as a dps spec.
tier 8 depves are easy but still boring, no matter as dps or heal

yep its completly busted. i just hit them with 1 attack and then run away until bran does more damage and i never get in melee with them otherwise i would steal his aggro. Its a desaster.
Basically tanky classes with a bunch of healing, try with a Rogue.
I spent some years away from the game, so I may be wrong, but I believe healing priests don’t have interrupt at all. There are bosses which have must interrupt spells (there is a boss which has a ticking unavoidable cast which do close to 10 million per tick in T11).
I believe this is just a checkbox: no heal priest allowed, I think it’s literally impossible to do on holy/disc, no matter the gear.
Personally, I’m ok if each delve can be done on each class and I don’t see the need to be able to do it on each spec, however I can see why some people may be dissapointed in it. I was maining heal class from vanilla to Pandaria and solo gameplay as healer was masochist-like experience for most of the time, which was especially bad before multiple specs were introduced (and spell damage/healing was combined in a single stat and later dropped altogether).
I’m definitely ok and even like it, when different delves or different parts of a single one requires different talent builds of a spec and/or different Brann spec.
I see the idea from people saying “just go dps” but the issue isn’t that as a Healer you need to heal or have lower dps, the complaint mostly is that the dmg they do to healers compared to dps or tanks is absurd, if it was lowered by 200k per hit it would be manageable but the problem is they HIT you for 900k and crit you for almost 2mill mixed with debuffs that sometimes can be dispelled, on a Cooldown and with some classes having long interrupt cooldown or no interrupt at all, granted some of the “critter/filler” mobs hit for 300k but keep in mind they hit for half of that in a DPS version of the delve and the heal output is way too low compared to the incoming damage, and let’s not forget the delves that happen under water Brann can still swim and HE WILL swim, which makes the AI wonky and start following him either up or through the floor or wherever he is if he has aggro, and even if you go DPS in those delves the potions Brann throw out if you make him Healer instead lands up in the “air” or inside rocks sometimes, meaning he’s useless, and since Branns DPS is unreliable often being below 200k, in a +8 it takes forever to kill anything when you as healer spam heal yourself, while being punched in the face slowing down the healing, and having to try and pump out dps and heal is mostly not possible, at least in dungeons etc you have a tank, meaning you can cast your heals without much interruption going on from random dmg.
All i really want is for the devs to fix the scaling of dmg output from the mobs so it’s not so extreme on healer solo delves so there at least is room to deal damage, spam healing get’s tiresome/boring even in M+ healers are expected to DPS.
