I agree fully with this post.
As a healer playing PvP mostly in BGs, the significant loss of reliable dispels is having a noticeably negative impact on gameplay itself. I would be happy for the changes made to “Dispel Magic” to be reverted back. The new “Purify” spell simply does not give healers enough utility to be able to sufficiently care for their team. The new 8 second CD on dispel paired with the sheer amount of CHAINED CC/Snares/slows/LoC effects is low-key insufferable. Often feeling like I’m playing with my hands tied while my team just dies around me because I physically cannot dispel what NEEDS to be dispelled. I’m not saying dispel should be spammable by any means, but the CD on our dispel does not bode well with the fact that other classes can simply spam theirs. We need to be able to counteract this and currently we can’t. Was honestly a change that shouldn’t have been made and one that’s making BG gameplay kinda meh.
Just needs to be balanced fairly honestly. If they can spam CCs/snares/roots/loc then we should be able to spam our dispel. I duno, the playing field shouldn’t be this uneven and we shouldnt be having to spend 70% of a BG stuck in a fear unable to actually play. Let healers do their jobs please!
