Hello everyone. I’m just wondering what your take is on the removal of Heal in Midnight. I’ve mained Holy Priest for the past six expansions, and having the choice to cast both Flash Heal and Heal was always part of the spec’s healing strategy. A longer cast, bigger heal with lower mana cost was useful in many situations.
For instance, I always cast Heal first when I have a stack of Surge of Light, since I can then instant-cast Flash Heal and the total healing is usually worth it. With talents like Resonating Words, this is a good strategy to significantly heal previous targets. In PvP, I often use Heal to bait interrupts.
I think it’s good that Midnight is trying to simplify the rotation, especially with the removal of spells like Renew (which feels more and more useless to me). But with the removal of Heal, I think the spec has lost some of its much-needed depth.
