I read the comments, the reason it was combined with Ascendance ? So then you remove it?
For me it was an EXTRA CD, not something I use with Ascendance, so now I got a CD less…this Blizzard logic

I feel the same way… It was an extra cd for me. It is a nerf that also dumbs down the resto spec.

At least healing wave uses a tiny bit less mana now (yeah it’ s sarcasm 
)
Ancestral Guidance shouldn’t have been removed nor merged with anything, it was a good
and much needed cooldown on it’s own and it’s a tragedy that we lost it… Especially for Ele and Enh.
Hopefully they realize this mistake and bring it back, the problem with button bloat on Resto is the amount of extra buttons like Unleash Life, Primordial Wave, Wellspring, Healing Raid, Mana Tide Totem, Healing Tide Totem, Earthen Wall Totem, etc…
They did some changes on those but not enough changes and not good enough changes either.
To play devil’s advocate: We now have Ascendance (3min), Healing Tide (3min untalented) and Spirit Link (3min). Do the other healers have more in number or more often cooldowns?
too much cd have this classs
Healing Tide Totem is not even a cooldown, the healing it does is pitiful especially in dungeons, I would gladly trade it for something like Pain Suppression, Ironbark, Revival, or Rewind.
Also yes other healer have more AND better cooldowns, like the ones I mentioned above.
Ascendance is the only button that feels impactful when you press it, Link is a very niche lifesaver but it’s very situational due to requiring to be inside the area which is impossible depending on team composition.

I only spec for Healing Tide Totem using Tideturner.
Removing this Acnestral Guidance talent for Resto is just not ok ! Sure, remove it for DPS but not for the healer spec, they just removed a good healing CD!!!
The logic was that it was being used on top of Ascendance as a double CD.
So their logic was to remove 1 button, so you so only have to press 1 button instead of 2 for Ascendance you cast. Which makes sense to be honest !
However. They forgot that there is a REASON why shamans stacked 2 CDs at once. Its not a coincidence. And they forgot to buff Ascendance accordingly…
These are the type of changes which make me doubt a bit their intelligence…

I do understand that, but I e.g. used them as separate CDs, along with both my ancestor talents. But indeed, Ascendance used to be better.For me personally, I see this as losing a CD, since Ascendance is 2 mins, and I had this as a backup.
Will see how it goes in S2.
I used it as a separate CD as well. And I am sad its gone.
For the moment I am not having issues on the few +6 and +7 I did yesterday. But we will see…
*PS: I did have issues, but 100% due to lack of knowledge. We yoloed all the mechanics, and I am sure damage would be lower.

Still doing HCs, to get the feel of them. I didn’ t do PTR, and need to make time to watch 8x 30+ mins of Quazzi wow guides, but I might first start with just the bosses.
Everyone has their style.
My style is to Yolo the dungeons and learn by wiping and depleting. And see how far I go.
The Quazii videos I will watch them in like 2 or 3 weeks. When I have trouble with specific bosses/trash.
Dunno… I like it better this way… plus its less time watching youtube videos and more time playing.
