As Iowercase put it in that warlock rework thread:
Which pretty much nails it. Without hard casting a shadow bolt that actually deals damage here and there for example as affli, or applying real dot damage like agony/corruption/ua as destro, it becomes way too one-dimensional, and so does the way to play against them.
Because destro have all their damage frontloaded into the hard casting, you have to play around LoS and psuedo-interrupts to deal with 'em.
Because affli have all their damage in the dots and CDs to empower the dots, you have to play around LoS and psuedo-interrupts to deal with their CDs.
While the question of defensives is always going to be relative to the damage pace of the game design itself, it means now you need more defensives but if it slows down then youâd need less, and it doesnât solve the real problems with it.
Which is why what Iowercase said nails it, they need to become more diverse in their gameplay design.
Theyâre both like half of a spec. They need to become whole again.
i play this comp. theres so many OP busted rng insta death abilities in the game rn that by the time you find yourself with ua+games and no cdâs, no peels, unable to damage it off or even heal through it as its only 10k⊠i just think youve been outplayed and deserve to lose!
Theres so much counterplay and time to react to this win condition, especially compared to all the busted other stuff in the game⊠smh
i mean i saw ur message. i have a habit of readin fast before readin thoroughly/ from college ya know, all the papers i had to read, u just skim first before assessin if its useful or not to read for real.
read âaffli have all their damage in the dotsâ lmao no thats not whats going on and thats the whole problem of the class right now
I would trade chain harvest for mindgames/convoke anytime. Especially as resto/ele.
If u think the opposite, well, then ur really veeeeeeeeery clueless player
Holy pal still has highest representation.
Skill capped has tier lists which isnât based on common sense but on an actual reasons and explanations, you can watch it.
In a vacuum Iâd say that Discipline is probably the best healer now that Holy Pallies have equal if not worse mana problems. Not âfar betterâ than the others, but yeah, better.
In a vacuum Convoke can 1v3 an arena team within the channel on a semi-regular basis.
However, thereâs a fundamental difference between paper and practice; Priests donât fit into every team comp irregardless of how hard Holy is trying to gimmick its way into relevancy.
As someone who predominantly plays 2v2, it pains me to say that itâs always been a meme fest. Their gimmicks play well into the bracket, couple that with the rampant FotM rerolling that Blizzard enables with their infrequent to little tuning and thatâs why.
The biggest weakness that Holy has is that it runs out of healing, itâs far easier to counter-play in 3s.
I mean those opinions come from glad players at least, still better than a random forum dweller right. Donât know how commonly your read this forum, but there have been a lot of threads based on skill-capped videos, so lot of people watch it here too.
skill cappedâs tier lists are based on the opinions of 5 people in their friend list.
Similar to the tier lists you see on these forums.
Most of which are derived from sites like xunamate/arenamate and then plastered with a few good points for each class in the S/A tier lists with 1-2 poor points in the lower tiers.
well yeah the amount of hpalas sitting rating is crazy, not like they are forced to play the game after a patch, and that still hits representation. Now i dont think priest is the best healer, at least not in an undisputed sense, but representation isnât very representative.
From what i understand is that you donât want to be one shoted, but you want your team to 1shot the enemy team. There are many ways to survive that combo of ua/mindgames. just line them. if you get caught in psycic horror and they try and cast ua/mindgames on you then your team has to interrupt mind games till phycic horror ends and you line the lock/priest again. ofc using your cds is a must in some situations. donât be scared using trinket, bubble, bm trinket etc etc. but as i said your teamates play a huge roll too. going only oog oog tsuk tsuk mode wont do enough. especially with the slow lego from affli.
