Resto shaman can easily pull 4/500k dps with 5 targets with ease and only a simple rotation: drop healing totem (Acid Rain talented), apply and maintain Flame Shock and spam Chain Lightning with Lava Burst procs. With a good pull dps can easily go up even further.
Passively, they can just drop a healing totem, flame shock and use lava burst procs and do 150-250k dps.
Holy paladin on the other hand hits like a wet noodle. Even spamming a full DPS rotation without using any healing spells can only get like 150k dps with 4-5 targets. And there is no way im using Wings to DPS when everything hurts so much and healing does relatively little compared to previous expansions.
I drop Consecration I spam CS and Judgment, I use SotR, Divine Toll, Holy Prism and Blessing of Summer when its up and my dps on Captain Lockwood on a +10 was 113k. What the hell?? Why do we have to put so much effort into DPSing when Resto Shamans can do it without looking.
Consecration should be buffed massively to give us equal passive DPS like Acid Rain and SoTR needs to hit like a truck because if i’m spending valuable Holy Power on a DPS ability I dont want it to tickle ffs, especially when healing is to comparably low in this expansion. Crusader Strike damage should be equal to a lava burst which is 500k per hit roughly, CS only hitting for 123k average. WHY??
I don’t see what trade off there is for our low damage? Our healing is on par with others and our utility is also fair amongst other healers so why is our DPS so abyssmal? Blizzard please, buff us in line with Resto shamans. Holy paladin used to be able to be leveled with, the dps was fantastic and super fun in M+ back in Legion when Hpala was at its best. Why the low dps now? It isnt justified.
