Hey,
Started playing from patch 8.0, i consider myself as good resto shaman player, i usually tryhard on raids, on previous seasons (1&2) weekly +10 was enough for me, but this season i decided i ll give m+ score more love, i play a bit 2v2 (but only for 1800rat, pvp is sooo unfun to play but transmogs are nice)
I ll start talking about pros and cons from things that are shorter (for me):
PVP,
Cons:
*If you dont have bis traits (pack + Tott) you’re pretty doomed
*One school for healing spells, every class has interupts, stuns, more stuns, even more stuns and movement abilites, so almost every fight is like “sorry mate, i cant heal you because im in CC”, some fights you literally stay in stun for whole fight (rogue+mage). (i learned that faking lava burst cast can easly mislead enemies into interupting fire school so can cast healing after, also new essence lifebinder is holy school)
*lot of our spells are useless, for example healing rain, HTT not that strong.
Pros:
*Utility: SLT, earthgrab totem, grounding totem,
M+
Cons:
*Even having a lot strong CD’s (SLT, HTT, Ascendance, new lifebinder) sometimes healing output is too low for damage group takes and its just from my +14/15 expirience, i dont want to know how its on higher keys.
Pros:
*Utility abilites like earth elemental, capacitor totem, earthgrab totem.
Raids
Cons:
*Most of essences are useless or below decent level for resto shaman, (only lifebinder actually does something)
*Talents, only one true build, (unleash>echo>Cloud>Hightide), most of our talents are so bad that trying something new is considered as trolling or just being dumb.
Torrent, undu, deluge, earth shield, wellspring, are almost no-go talents.
*Durning fight we have a lot to keep in mind, we are overwhelmed by amount of abilites we have that arent that good.
*Most of our trait are just boring
Pros: Spirit link totem, cloudburst totem… well thats the only pros i can tell, i might add strong healing but its just me, most of the time i see resto shamans on bottom in healing charts so idk.
Earth shield should be our baseline! blizzard wtf
Sorry for bad english, tried my best to translate : o
P.S i knew i seen somewhere your nickname nymvi, you were on rank1 shivara healing… were sorry mate.
