Have the devs forgotten holy priest exist?

Another week passing without showing any hint at even acknowledging the problems.

Are holy priests gonna be this bad the whole expansion? Is this what you want? 6 days left on my sub and then I’m gone for the rest of the season if nothing changes.

Has to be the dumbest changes I’ve seen.

If sanctify is to remain a 1 min cd, with no way to reduce its CD, its healing has to be increased by like 600% to actually be useful for healing aoe damage. Because you can only use it twice right now and then that’s it, you can’t use it any more because you can’t reduce its cd.

Meanwhile the 2nd boss in dawnbreaker is trucking people for more than quadruple the healing it’s gonna do after the reset - every second for 5 seconds. If sanctify was buffed by 600%, it could heal ONE tick. Like, that’s just absurd, lmao.

Radiance for disc priests heals for 500k, 30 yard range and is on a 15 sec cd, sanctify is on a 1 min cd, 10 yards radius and will heal for like 317k after the buff. Like, bro?

PoH at ilvl 632 heals for… 90k. We’re getting trucked in the millions. Buff it. By like 5-600% so we actually spec into it and can heal aoe damage.

CoH? Heals for 113k, meanwhile we’re geting hit in the millions. It has 3 sec shorter CD than radiance but heals for almost 1/5th and has to be pathed into, radiance is picked up just by going down the tree. Buff CoH by like 600-700% for it to actually be worth speccing into.

Renew? Naaaaaaah, just redesign it. Even if you buffed it by 500%, it wouldn’t be worth pressing instead of pressing a normal heal. It would heal for 125k every 2.5 seconds if you buffed it by 500%. Like, bro? We have over 6 million health at this point and are getting hit in the millions, 125k every 2.5 seconds is nothing.

How can we have so many abilities that are worthless to press even if they receive buffs in the lower hundreds of percentages? Requiring upper end of the hundreds to be worth it?

This spec is so dysfunctional.

It’s frustrating. They’re both good spells, but the way they both work this change does very little. Hpriest has such a nice flow, I wish they’d tweak and/or remove some things to actually have some spells make an impact lol. Maybe a shorter cd on these two would already make it feel more strong, I don’t know.

I like the LW, RW playstyle aswell. Our single target healing is great but we need AoE buttons.

I understand that Serenity and Sanctify need stay together power-wise because they are both holy Words but:

  • Sanctify would need a minimum of 100% healing increase to become somewhat useful.
  • Prayer of Healing would need a minimum of 300%.
  • Circle of Healing would need a minimum of 500%.

And even if PoH and CoH were buffed, we would have to go “out of our way” to get them, they’re not “grab along” talents so we would have to trade it for something else.

The fact that we have to talk about increasing the power of spells by deep hundreds of percent is absurd in the first place.

Nah, it needs a lot more.

It has a 1 min cd and we can’t reduce the CD in the current m+ spec. Sending a penance heals more than sanctify and penance has a 9 sec cd. 9 sec and heals more than sanctify.

Something that has a 1 min cd should heal a loooooot more than something on a 9 sec cd. During the time it takes for sanctify to come back, you can have cast penance 6 times, which all heals more than a sanctify on every single cast.

even if buffed by 1000% it eill just be useless in pugs. you can be lucky to hit 2 players, often one of them is you running into someone else.
the spell is just terrible and should be reworked to a nova or just flat out changed to halo

For resume we have feeling that we have DF tooltip on our spells

  • No def cd
  • Renew is useless
  • PoM is useless in m+ and has very bad heal power
  • Nothing competitiv against Dpriest

Simple you queue for a 12-13s and another Dpriest is also in the queue

You have absolutely no chance to pbe taken in the group evrn If you have +10 ilvl
