If u Looking in groupfinder u can activate options to see only groups with tank or only groups with healer inside.
Groups with Tanks gives enough, but look for group with a healer, u see no hits in the search. That makes it abundantly clear that there is an absolute shortage of healers.
And what does blizz do? They are now making it extra difficult so that no one wants to do that anymore.
here an example, HoTs ticking for 23k for 15 second in total 150k life , but player have 5 million life , so that heal 3% life in 15 seconds.
any random DoT or bleed effeckt ticks for 250-800k (minimum 10x higher than a HoT)
thats a joke? As if the fire department came with a small hand fire extinguisher.
it gives 3 arts of healers
beginners
hobbyhealer
elite healer
now only plays the elite in M+7 and higher and all the others content is near dead because there are no healers.
CONGRATULATION an MMO without healers will definitely keep many players happy for a long tim.
PS.I’m not a frustrated DD who’s crying now because he can’t find a healer. I’m one of the many who wanted to play healer in this addon, but then realized that they won’t put up with this crap
If you don’t know how to do it, look at other games that make healing fun for people
Pss: I don’t actually want to complain that anything is too difficult. then I don’t have to do it. An MMO that relies on the classic 3 class system, like tank healer and DD, must ensure that the system keeps all 3 attractive. If one of these 3 is barely present, then the game is broken.
I am not denying the fact that healers and tanks are in shortage. But you are looking at this in the wrong way.
In 99% of the groups the tank spot or the healer spot is the last spot to fill. This means that in most cases as soon as the group finds both its becomes full and delisted. So when you search and find 20 groups that has no healer listed. Then you refresh and 5 of those groups disappear from the search, chances are those 5 groups found a healer and were delisted because they became full. It doesn’t mean there are no healers.
I don’t see the healer/tank situation any different than it was in previous expansions.
The healing numbers in your example are extremely low. The rejuvenation by my Guardian Druid in guardian gear heals higher than that (148K over 10.2 seconds without crits). My regrowth heals for 370K direct heal + 83K hot (also as guardian without crits). So a healer relying on hots like a resto druid should do a lot higher unless their gear is very bad.
The problem still is that some healers are too powerful, and the dmg comes in too fast.
contradictory to intuition healingis more fun when the healer is weak and it´s not about getting healthbars from 0-100 within miliseconds, but all about triage and manamanagement.
Unfortunately currently Healers still play like dps, just alocating CDs to do the workload during bad overlaps and praying to god their dps find some defensive cds.
that being said it can´t be that bad as if i look for groups as a healer people still insist on waiting an extra 5min for a shaman to show up more often than not + as a healer i usually only apply to groups that already have a tank, so most healers won´t show up in the tool much.
PEvoker is pumping HARD. Harder than a RShaman. And has the same utility as a shaman. The only thing it cant do is curse dispel. HPala is also pumping hard.
And the only reason people are so pumped with RShaman is because in the meta comps of high keys people take an Aug…
