Priest and monk healers need some utility for m+

No, no one ever invites us for power infusion or mind soothe alone. That’s just not a thing.

When people are building their groups they usually look for at least 1 class with bloodlust and as many CRs as possible. This automatically makes preservation evokers, restoration druids, restoration shamans and holy paladins more desired than priests and monks. I am currently being rejected from a lot of groups even in key levels lower than the ones I’ve cleared and it’s often because I bring no utility. A lot of groups end up 4/5 with the healer slot still being open and now requiring bloodlust or CR and then priests and monks will only get rejected.

Please give us something. This has been an issue with priests for a long time.

On a side note, we don’t even have a kick unlike monks.

Mysticall, a Gladiator level Mistweaver, suggested that Crackling Jade Lightning should purge enemy buffs with every tick.

I think it’s a nice way to turn this complete and utter pile of garbage of a spell into a core part of the Mistweaver toolkit.

It is a good idea for that spell but I doubt being able to purge would have a significant impact on being invited or not, unfortunately, as priests can already do that.

Yes, priests can already do that, Monks can’t.
So that’d be one fewer reason to decline a Monk.

Give priests CR or BL and then give every other healer mass dispell as a compenstation. Problem solved .

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind as it’s only an improvement for priest. No one invites us for mass dispel either. You can name the few spells we have but they don’t make us a desired pick.

Honestly I can’t understand why they gave a CR to holy paladins of all healers… a spec that has had very few problems pugging for a long time.

Meanwhile, no soothe for monks because it was given to evokers along with bloodlust, which in turn kind of stole shamans’ niche.

Mostly I’m just disappointed that once again we have an expansion where the healers viewed as having less utility have somehow ended up low on the hps meter. Again. Didn’t we learn this lesson before? :pensive:

Its not only healers tho . Look at dps , those who bring most utility has also highest dps , most of cases .

What i hate most is they gave evokers bleed dispel , so now this class has everything

Proof that being good at a game and knowing whats good for a game aren’t the same thing.

All healers should have combat resurrection. Simple as that.

We do have one with Afterlife but requires us to die.

It should be castable in combat every say, 4 minutes, instead of being angel form only, and not end its effect either.

You realise this is how the dreaded class homogization happened? Topics and posts like this whining until they made all the classes begin to feel the same>?

You wanna just add to it suggesting giving priest bloodlust - by giving all healers combat rez and mass dispell - please god no. Keep the classes unique for gods sake. It’s what makes it interesting.

If you are that desperate to get into a group just make your own or reroll another class - WoW is going to be here for the rest of our lives you have time.

No, they shouldn’t - it’s a way to make them feel unique and special to one another. LMAO someone else just suggested '‘give priests combat rez and then everyone else mass dispell’ - you guys really want the classes ruined even further than your whining got them ruined already huh? God you people would be terrible game designers.

Meybe great but better have a ww monk cause top dmg then mw monk. Anyway when i last looking on tier list, shaman is on very end after mw or priest. Blood lust isn’t problem. What making druid S class this season is high hps and possibility to heal in move and spread players and ofc. cr.

Yes, they are indeed unique. Unique in being less popular and less picked. What do you think people care more about? Getting into groups or being “unique”? And are you really arguing BL and CR are making classes unique nowadays with 4 classes having BL and 4 classes having CR? You’re really not making a good point here.

Healing classes should (and are) unique by having their own playstyle and Dragonflight probably shows this the best. This is the best state we have been in when it comes to diverse healing gameplay. It’s not because some have a CR or BL

CRJ requires the monk to be static and channel a spell that deals next to no damage, and if kicked, prevents him from healing since it’s the same school of magic.

Even with this change, MW would still be bottom tier in PvP if that’s what you’re afraid of.
It’d be pretty good in 2v2, but still completely unusable in 3v3 and solo shuffle.

Priests can do that single target without any cooldown and with mass dispel on a cooldown. I don’t know why anybody would think giving that to monks would make them broken. That spell is so useless you could even give it a cooldown in exchange (though I liked using it for pulls)

I do.
And if you don’t PI me, prepare for some big boy babyrage tantrum and you not timing you key.
:rofl:

I always form my groups the same way if I can.

DK tank, OP and has CR.
Priest healer, has PI and good buff.
Me, because I am awesome.
Rogue, Cuz rogue totally busted.
Monk or DH, cuz they buff the rogue or me.

A lot of higher priests use a weakaura for that by the way. It alerts us on the unit frames whenever somebody pops his damage cooldowns. So you just have to be the first one to use them when PI is up (and not be too behind on dmg so it’s actually worth putting it on you)
