TWW Healers changes

[Uda-uldum]

@Annaconda-ragnaros

You just described why it’s impossible to properly balance healers for M+, what exactly do you consider a solution here?

I have said multiple times that the problem is that people try to balance healing as if it was DPS.

And its not the same.

@Uda-uldum

But here is the catch, by doing so you can balance HPS and damage on a 1-1 basis which would include downtime to dps. Today you cant. You can buff healers all you want, but once you reach 1-shot area more HPS will not translate to better outcomes.

But. I have to agree. Staggering damage, or applying a shield is just different sides of the same concept : Heal for 20s before bigD to make a shield, or heal 20s after the bigD to deal with the stagger.

Either way, it would be a solution to the healer throughput problem.

Here.

I have whole paragraphs suggesting solutions to the problem. But it all stems from the fact that there is a hard cap to healing (a fixed health pool).

All blizz is doing in WW is moving that hard cap up and down. Thats all.

When the problem is that it exists in the first place.

But one step in the right direction would be to divorce M+ spec performance from Raid performance. That would help massively.

And its not a far fetched suggestion. It already exists with auras like “XXX does YYY more when not in a raid group” things. Expand on that basically.
