Holy Priest, Bliz' can you stop bully us? Thx

Hello Blizzard,

Can you stop bullying us seasons after seasons. Our spec is once again the trasher spec in m+ in this new season.

  1. What have we done to you for being ́persecuted like that?

  2. Is the Blizzard CEO’s husband cheated his wife with a holy priest player?

  3. When holy priest m+ players can hope to see some kind of light and play decently the game?

Best regards

Agree with you. Last time I played Holy seriously and when it was any good was in BfA, can’t say about Shadowlands because I didn’t play that. Tried Holy in Dragonflight and it was alright to play but not perfect. In The War Within it’s centered around spamming Flash Heal & using Halo with Archon hero talents, that’s basically the whole “rotation” because they heal the most throughout a raid boss.

  1. Holy Word: Salvation is removed with the new 11.1 patch. It used to be arguably the strongest healing cooldown of all specs in BfA. Before it was removed it did so little healing that it was not noticeable.
  2. Prayer of Healing is so bad it’s not worth to pick in the talents. The healing should be buffed by at least 100% to be viable.
  3. Divine Hymn is in a similar situation to Salvation. When you activate it, it’s barely noticeable- neither on the healing frames or on your logs.
  4. As mentioned before in the first paragraph, the primary spells you use which heals the most throughout a raid boss is Flash Heal, and Halo when needed. It’s so boring to say the least with practically no diversity when it comes to the healing spells.

Primarily buff Holy Priests AoE healing, this is where the issue is.

Theres a holy priest in the top 20 currently at over 3k. I’m sure they will drop in the rankings but they are more than capable of doing the content.

the only healer that is almost unkillable in pvp is priest.
most of the times in bgs and arenas we cant kill them even 1v4

To be fair all heals are in bg if there is not enough passive dampen mechanic on the mode and all heals become strong. But you are right all priest are hard when they even gain passive 30% wall for 8sec everytime someone hits them twice :smile:

The op is about m+ though and I dont know how holy or disc are doing there but Im having a lot of fun with both specs holy/disc in pvp atleast.

but my problem with this is that the all kind of damage is affecting them lower even tanks in pvp are getting more damage from all sources in pvp.
its like when a pvp healer comes against us i allways tell this to myself.

Now Dpriest is way better than holy in m+, pvp and also raid.

There is absolutely no reason and content for my beloved spec to exist.

Is it pleasantful for blizzard to see us die?
Maybe its time to “finish him” us and delete the holy spec?

Being dragged through content isn’t “more than capable of doing the content”. Any spec of healers can get dragged through content if the team so desires.

People tried this BS last season as well but the holy priests had the teams cater to them, having evokers dragging them around because they can’t move during damage events because they have to cast and so forth. Not the holy priest holding their ground on their own.

Lavellaa - Character

People doing just fine. Yes, it’s not as great as disc, but it can still clearly perform extremely well. Especially for the keys you’re doing.

I don’t really see the issue honestly.

14

It doesn’t.

It outright sucks compared to disc.

No offence, but I’d much prefer to listen to people who actually play the class and spec at a high level.

Plus at the average level that the vast majority of the forum posters play at, holy is absolutely fine as it is. Asking for balance changes because you look at a graph at the very, very top of M+ keys does not serve anyone. Also I play the game for fun, and holy is far more fun than disc.

You dont see the issue?

Maybe you need to open your eyes…

When you have 5 holy priests in queue which are trash tier spec and a Dpriest inc in the queue which is S+ tier

Which priest people invite?

17

And that’s been the case since the beginning of time :joy:

Not just for priests, but every single healer. It doesn’t matter how minuscule of a difference in performance a healer makes, if there’s a 0.05% difference, people will ALWAYS invite that healer.

18

What are you talking about?

We are the only class with 2 heal specs :expressionless:

19

What are YOU on about? There’s other classes with other healing specs :joy:

If a better healer class was to apply for a group over your class with a healing spec what do you think will happen?

What you need to do is maybe make a thread more about complaining about people meta slaving, rather than whining about holy being SO much worse than disc (It isn’t).

20

Maybe you need to understand that every class has something to bring and specific

But the dpriest has everything holy has but doing it better then holy is now useless to play

We nothing competitive vs dpriests
