Please give Paladins heroism/bl

Everyone will play Paladin for season 2 and M+ groups will be formed with 4 Paladins. It is very hard for us to find a healer with heroism/bl.

Until they release more balance updates that upset the meta again. Start of Season 1 looks very different from end of Season 1 :slight_smile:

Genuinely enjoyed this post :joy_cat:

But on a serious note, no healer should have more than 1 of:

  • combat res
  • bloodlust

These things go pretty much hand in hand with the healer meta. There are indeed some healers with neither. They’re the lowest ranked right now. Help them.

For the love of MONEY, help them. Because they will eventually unsub if you don’t.

Does it though? Prevoker and druid still amazing. Shaman is climbing. Other healers still struggling because there’s 3 amazing healers to invite instead of them :pensive:

Why they will unsub? They don’t play paladin? Play immortal prot paladin, which deal more damage than most of dds specs; play ratribution paladin, and you won’t even see any mechanic because of busted damage.

There is no reason to play any different class than paladin right now. I am totally unbiased.

Gief.

Healers have roughly equal power level right now with some variation here and there depending on boss or Affix. The only reason we still see some disparity is because druids and evokers have had more time to get their BIS raid gear.

Its not perfect, but healer balance better than it has ever been imo.

There absolutely is!!!

The racial choices are all boring. All of them. Give me worgen, give me pandas, give me dracthyr paladins, and you’ll have my attention.

But it’s just demihumans and cows, and ugh. Nah.

Hps balance perhaps. The way they deliver it matters too. For monk, to heal with let’s say Hyrja, I have to ramp up my Chi Ji about 3-4 GCDs ahead of the damage phase. If I leave it too late, the party dies.

On evoker I just have to not press my 30 second cooldowns when there is no damage, then use them when there is damage. Total hps is similar, but one can save it up for 30 seconds then access it quickly while the other has to read timers and look a full minute into the future to avoid wipes.

Trickle feed healers like MW or disc priest are at a disadvantage with dungeons when the design is about spike damage phases that must be healed through. That’s kind of the hidden meta right there, the reason why on paper healers look similar and yet pug groups still favour certain classes. An average player on an easy healer will do better than an average player on a difficult one. Difficulty relates to how screwed you are if you pressed 1 wrong button 30 seconds before a damage spike.

The 25% healer “nerf” next season actually has the right idea here; but I’m worried Blizz haven’t given themselves time to balance around it. They talk like they’re going to de-spike the damage which genuinely will narrow the healer disparity… but they did this at the end of beta and ducked half of healers over. It feels like an “oh no, not again” situation.

You know what? Why not. I mean people who play paladins are special sort with hero syndrome anyway, so might aswell just give them hero/bl. Who cares? It is not like this game was ever balanced anyway.

Should give it to monks or priests tbh. Every healer should have hero or CR.

My Apologies Lady Emmanuella;

It was not my intention to interfere with Yours business or to annoy Yours. Truly it will be hard for us to find a BL healer with a 4 Paladin group and we Yours humble inferiors, sometimes have… some ideas.

Faithfully

Yours.

If you don’t care, don’t take it seriously, or aren’t interested in the topic, coming here and repeating clichés you see on the US forum makes you seem less intelligent than you are. But you see:

The guy has a counter idea. Although having to multiply heroism/bl in the group is better, it is still a good idea and contributing.

We need heroism/bl on the 4 Paladin group. We have a problem and the most practical solution is to give Paladins heroism/bl.

Give BL to every healer or tank spec, makes more sense, you always need them anyway, more chance for different dps classes to be picked that way!

Tbh, any race that can have priests should have paladins. It’s not like WoW follows the old D&D racial system whereby smaller races tend to get a strength reduction and therefore make bad paladins.

Imho every race that is defined by a strong sense of justice and a desire to protect is culturally compatible with paladins. Shamans are theoretically also a type of priest for their people

Though that is including almost every race other than Goblins :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
