Out of 33 games last night, i counted 25 being holy priests.
All classes have a move thats tilting. Like DH, who stuns you with fel eruption, and you know you will soon see an angry green monster with eye laser, and then a death sweep a la ADHD flying around every direction and then you also know the next thing you will see when you try to do anything is “dodge” due to blur.
But nothing beats a holy priest first anxiously hugging pillar a bit, then Holy Ward on herself, greater fade, feather and running in 200 mph straight for your healer for the fear + mindgames. That animation bit with greater fade + feather is really something that right now takes the cake.
Ngl, seeing a BM hunter going “WROOOOAAAAAAR”, red and mighty and pets going into god damn berserk starvation mode is getting on my nerves as well, but the feather+greater fade sound really takes the cake.
Please share your frustration with me. Not in an attempt to have devs listening. Not to hope for any meaningful change. Just fuel my desperation with your feelings regarding Holy Priests.
best healer in the game right now by no doubt. I think they are going to be nerfed soon.
Also dont think its impossible to win against them. Played some rdruid and rshaman this season felt good too.
It’s not impossible to win against them - but they’re disgusting to play against.
Also, I don’t get why they’ve been given psychic scream when they have chastice. Discs didn’t get chastice, so why did Holy get PS?
Also, why is Holy Ward a thing when Holy Priests have Greater Fade?
Either take HW away from holy and give it to disc, or give GF PVP talent to Disc and take it away from Holy
My biggest frustration with Holy Priests is their CC potential combined with immunities and effortless and endless ways of toping themselves or their team mates. Holy Priests can screw up a lot and still get forgiven for playing badly.
If Holy Ward isn’t going to be removed entirely then it needs a 3-4 second duration on a 30 second CD like Intervene was the last time it was well designed.
i dont think there will be any nerf nowadays, they usually dont do changes during awc, but it would be a surprise if they dont nerf assa and hpriest after awc, bcz it will be shown how broken that 2 thing is especially assa with 4p
It’s a problem compounded by the fact that for most specs Holy Ward has literally zero counter play and as such you are required to have or to play with a spammable purge in order to even attempt to go for CC.
Why bother with a Resto Shaman when the only weakness that Holy Priests had (a lack of sustained healing) has been repeatedly buffed.
I dunno if I’d agree in calling them more infuriating than BM or DHs though, neither should be allowed to be viable in their current iterations and that’s coming from someone who hasn’t played this Priest since Disc was rendered the meme spec by our Holy overlords.
Basically the entire game is tilting for me right now, but in particular:
Holy Priests (being difficult to cc, returning to life, and saving other people from dying while stunned)
Holy Paladins (getting out of stuns and totally shutting down physical kill attempts with BoP)
Shaman Elemental Pet legendary (this garbage thing should have been removed a year ago)
Warlocks (all specs are stupid strong, and it doesn’t matter if it is 2 vs 1 or 3 vs 2, they can still win)
DH damage
Hunter damage
Shadow Priest survivability
Mage survivability
Warrior being able to play like a mongo and jump behind pillars and still live
And I know for 100% certain that this will also tilt me in the near future:
Fire Mage having even less GCDs during their Combustion
Assa Rogue damage with Shiv healing debuff
Just imagine trying to play a non-meta 2 dps comp in 2s right now. I’m actually super happy when I face something like Rogue + Mage (and even Warrior + Resto Druid) because then I know there’s a slight chance I can win, instead of getting destroyed and facerolled by things like DH + Resto Shaman, Hunter + Holy Priest, or Warlock + Holy Priest.
What’s even better is we haven’t even got our tier set + double leggos yet, and I know for sure my spec won’t get stronger with it, so yeah, gg and delete the game basically.
Yes, I bet it upsets you. The only thing SP have to survive for more than 5 seconds, and the only spec in the game with null mobility. I bet you’d like them to not have survability so you’d keep them rooted in one place and munch them down in 3 seconds
25% of every player above 2200 rating is a Holy priest as of now.
25%…
Resto druid 5,73%
Resto shammy 3.38%
Holy paly 2,64%
Mistweaver monk 1,03%
So even if you add all the other healers together, there are more then double that of holy priest.
Classes will alwase be flavor of the month, like warriors and bm hunters in s2 etc etc, and i guess that will never change, but holy priest right now does not just feel like a flavor of the month that is a tad better then the rest. They are disgusting compared to other healers.
They are just to strong in every aspect. In S2 they had the same amount of cc but they had a hard time using it couse they had to heal to keep people alive. Now they throw 2 instants and top someone from 10% to 100%. I have 1 min cds on my stormkeeper on my shammy, and priests i face have guardian spirit for every go.
So a buff that makes you immortal for 10 seconds is on a 1 minute cd!?
Palas bubble is 5 min cd… (3.5 min cd with talent)
Spirit link is 3 min cd…
Tranquility 3min cd…
