First of all to be clear: I wasnt the one who shooted first 
Not that I or anyone else cares, but why not post on your shaman then?
I dont know? I have this char since ever and why should i change all the time? I mean you should be able to look in my armory i guess?
Yes, I do. You might be okay with leaving a group after a rogue missed a kick, but I am not and this shouldn’t be the meta. Furthermore, in a world where fire mages and hunters (people with a LONG CD on their INTERRUPT) dominate, an additional kick comes in handy.
Last but not least, imagine if demo locks did twice their current dmg? Everyone would be inviting those preferably and guess what healer becomes a lot more attractive now. EXACTLY, the one with a kick. Why not ask to buff those?
First of all it depends on the dungeon and the group. I saw groups with only 3 kicks who managed to time high keys. And guess whats the problem with demo locks nowadays? Not the dmg. Their dmg is fine and they bring good mediocore utility. The problem is that they dont have a kick as a dps and their utility is brought by druid healers. On top of that they dont have viable stuns to stop certain situatiions.
And a quick reminder to Legion where warlocks were pretty good. Guess who was not a more attractive healer. Resto shamans.
What I meant. Why not ask for buffs to a spec that had no kick in BfA or change dungeons that make it mandatory or at least very helpful? And what do you mean by ‘good groups’? You can find clips of 7k rio people missing a kick once in a while.
What i said. Warlocks already were meta but shaman not. So where is your point? You obviously cant balance Dungeons on 5 kicks needed because we are the only healer with kick but you probably never need 4 kicks at the same time. You even can play shrine of the storm with only 3 kicks if the classes are choosen wisely.
A good group? Sure people missing kicks in high keys. But not that often as in lower keys and obviously they kick the right casts instead of +20s (atm) where people kicking everything. Obviously thats one of the reasons these players are considerd good players.
With tremor totem you might pull some additional screechers or however they are called. Don’t be so narrowminded.
Why do i need tremor totem for that? I let a range focustarget one with a focustarget kick macro and thats it. Most of the time the Screechers are tanked at the boss so they first of all will be cleaved away very fast and secondly are in range for every meele kick. You only need the one range kick if the scream comes at the same time rezan fears. And if you only want to pull 4 Screechers at the same time thats already no problem for groups without resto shamans.
Not doing runs as dps that often, but I did a fair amount and still haven’t seen any healer do 160k-200k. What you see on streams is different to what the general player is able to pull off and I honestly can’t be bothered to look for a clip of someone doing this much to verify your claim even in those cases.
Last boss shrine of the storm 160k is not a problem for druids or hpals. Especially in fortified weeks. The other thing is. Look at overall dmg. How much do you do as a resto shaman in very hard weeks or dungeons. Sure in a +15 i do 40k overall dps but most of the time in higher keys you are at around 30k. Hpalas and druids are doing like 50k dps overall. So they do nearly 50% more dmg the hole dungeon. That is huge.
Not sure if serious or trolling anymore. Having a tool and not needing is better than needing it and not having it, right? The Blood Elf racial has nothing to do with class toolkit. Furthermore, it has a 2 minute cd and the DH purge has a 10 sec cd. You don’t end up with mages hunters and DHs all the time and if you do, everyone does miss a kick once in a while which then gives me the chance to shine and save the run.
And what’s your point with the little fearing guys? If there’s no priest, someone needs to dps them down or purge them. Have you checked how many seconds it takes a rogue to get there, do this and then get back and start dpsing? Multiply these seconds with the dps the rogue does and ask yourself if losing this amount of dmg is worth it.
you can also kill the fearing mobs while you kill the 4 big guardians. Dont know where the problem is. You basically need blood elfs or other options in weeks like bursting. As resto sham you get real problems if you dispell one by one with tremor. You could even say lets bring a priest instead. I mean he could mass dispell all of them.
And the rogue dps part is super laughable. I mean i already said that other healers doing 50% more overall dmg than shamans. So you think the little dmg lose of the rogue would compensate that?
You seem more like a troll after every sentance I’m reading. I literally said some posts above that I want an external dmg reduction or something that saves a single target. And the only real example here is the last boss of Kings Rest.
ToS : You interrupt the cast, link the AoE or have them use their def CDs.
Triad in Waycrest: You SPIRIT LINK the nettles or let them meld or use a def cd.
First Boss TD : What’s the problem here? Def CD on Upheaval, let them meld or use Spirit Link.
ToS: there is a cast called Conduction which oneshoots people AND IS NOT INTERRUPTABLE. Do you even playing the game? On top of that its quiet possbile in high keys that the AoE is casted twice. So what is your option now?
Triad in Waycrest: The nettles also oneshoot people if no def cd is used. What if my enhancement mate gets 2 in a row? He dies because his astral shift is on cd and i cant give him anything.
First Boss TD: There is a cast called Upheaval. If you dont have a warlock gate or are a class which can dodge it you again need some defensive cooldowns. Again: What if my mate gets 2 of them in a row?
Yes ofcourse. I didn’t get that gear and those corruption right after I dinged 120. Guess what, paladins, monks and any druid can remove poisons. Before you even think about crying ‘Muh, those ain’t viable’ WHY NOT JUST BUFF THOSE CLASSES TO MAKE SHAMAN BETTER ?
I always take monk tanks or retri paladins with me to go into siege. But the point here is: YOU NEED TO BALANCE THE GROUP AROUND A USELESS CLASS. Why should you do that? Your limiting your own success with your group because you switch to undertuned classes. I dont want to be dependent on other classes. Thats more than stupid class design.
Is it? In a good group I often find myself doing dmg most of the time, resulting in 30-40k extra dps.
If you are that overgeared that the boss dies within 2 min its ok. But if you run keys where the boss lives around 3-4 min (tyranical) you find yourself only moving and waiting for spiritwalkers grace while casting quick surges and spaming riptide.
Try any other healer without those. What exactly is your point here?
My Points is here: Shaman right now has a percentage of 7,6% at healers above +20. Thats with Corruptions essences and so on. You know what percentage shamans had in the first season? 0,5%.
S2(buffs to some healing spells): 2,5%.
S3(Introduction of essences): 3.2%
S4(Spirit of preservation + Corruptions): 7.6%
We were EVERY SEASON the least picked healer. And you are telling me its only because of little tuning things.
I don’t even have vitality conduit.
Also, this is exactly why I was asking for better single target healing. Nice that we can agree here
Right now our ST healing is ok. If SL is tuned like bfa start it will be dog sh*t again. The essences boosting us very hard here.
Do I really have to repeat myself again?!
Our dmg will be sh*t even if lavabust will be buffed by like 50%. Look at actual overall dmg in dungeons. This isnt fixed with more st dps by us. We need aoe dmg which can be used without sacrificing healing. Thats what makes pala and druids stong. They dont lose any healing while they do much dps. Especially in progress its super hard for us to compete with them dmg wise because WE NEED TO STOP HEALING FOR DMG!
Yeah, and you are that kind of person that makes them pick the druid or paladin. As I said, your suggestions transforms resto shaman to a weird copy of resto druid. If you want to play druid, why not just play druid?
If you really want shaman to compete, give suggestions that make our toolkit important and our healing noticeable.
Sure thats why i played resto shaman the hole expansion. I am and always be shaman main. And i dont want to play resto druid. Even if we get the things i said we are miles away from resto druids. Whats wrong with giving us an external deff cd and aoe dmg? Guess what even holy paladins or disc priests have/get both.
You know what: A disc has:
more passive dps
one external deff cd
viable aoe dmg for m+
a better Mastery
Since when disc priests are druids now? They arent. This are only the things we need to be considerd for healing in better groups. The instand healing raid would only be a quality of life change. Sure druids have the same spell but why they have our spell in 2 times better. Longer durations, bigger and instand?
We should be the kings in stacked healing and therefore i dont see why we dont get the tools to do so. Surge of the earth is a joke for example.
