Very unhappy about downranking change
Very unhappy about downranking change
After doing some instance runs this weekend I am having a very diffcult time finding a constructive way to say this – I hate the removal of downranking for healers.
If the devs hate downranking so much, how about if they just suck it up and deal with it? Maybe they could get some therapy for it. Maybe they could go cry in the corner for a while and then leave it the hell alone. Pooping on players is not the solution.
There is no “topping off” any more for shaman. And it’s annoyingly common for a heal to either leave the target at about 90% or wildly over heal them. This isn’t a huge disaster, but it’s extremely annoying to have efficiency totally removed from the game. Healing is now less fun. The lack of anything subtle, half my healing keybindings gone, and a healthy chunk of the choices I make when healing removed…….. It just sucks.
Pre-buffing with ancestral fortitude – Gone. That sucks.
Topping off warlocks and shadow priests who turn health in to dps – Gone.
In fact a good deal of the cool resto shaman stuff is worthless now. Healing way, fortitude, tidal waves, all the crit stuff, much of the bonus healing……. Those are much less important when I’m going to be over healing half the time anyway.
With no small heal or HoT I basically just spam heals that are too big and then go OOM. Raiding may be different, since others will have small heals to top off the tank. But in small instances it feels like I’m being forced to heal like an idiot.
Obviously I’ll need to learn some new skills, and my experience may be different than others, but right now I must say that I hate hate hate the removal of downranking.
