Thoughts on the Season 3 - Farseer Resto Shaman Raid Build?

Man, I really love (Resto) Shaman and have played it on and off for a long time. But this current raid build feels so incredibly boring and taxing (due to uptime of everything).

I actually switched from a DPS role to a healer role because I disliked the spammy gameplay and strict rotations. Now, with this new build, it feels like I’m back to that: pretty much having to cast Healing Wave and Riptide on cooldown, and placing Cloudburst as much as possible for high-damage phases.

I much prefer a gameplay experience where I have to manage my abilities and mana strategically throughout a fight, rather than dealing with this 100% uptime spam-fest.

What are your thoughts? Are you enjoying the current Resto Shaman raid spec?

I mean if you are just doing heroic, why not go for the chain heal build that you use in dungeons?

In most cases it will be more than enough for the content that you do, and it feels pretty different.

I wish man but I’m progressing Mythic Salhadaar atm :grimacing:
I just don’t want to post on my actualy main cause I say some stupid stuff sometimes and don’t want to relate it to my actual name XD

Then there is nothing to do.

Same thing as elemental s3 and s4 of DF, and with enh in this season. On paper there are 2 specs or more, but the “meta” one is something you are not fan of.

I also wish to be dropping some lava lashes this season like the previous one, but alas, stuck on playing ss spam simulator.

As for me, for the few times I had to heal I do not really dislike this playstyle, mainly because it actually is pretty easy on paper and makes it easy for a dps brain to get the fundamentals down. Will see how it will be next expansion.

Well, I mean, we can still share our thoughts and opinions on it. If the majority dislikes the gameplay, we can give feedback to Blizzard to prevent it in the future. Conversely, if the majority likes it, we can give positive feedback to encourage more of it
