We're still comparing all ...From Ghostcrawler:<br /><br />We're still comparing all of the active and passive sources of healer mana to make sure things feel even among the different classes, but we feel pretty confident that the mana from Revitalize is too high. The Holy priest at 85 feels the closest to how we want mana to feel at 85.<br />http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/27387870484/priest-least-effective-healer-in-cata/<br /><br />So maybe Druids will have it easy only for so long... <br /><br />It will also be interesting to see the effect of the recent Beta changes to Chakra (no longer works with Renew, no longer costs mana – Sanctuary [Prayer of Healing, Prayer of Mending] now increases healing done by your AoE spells and Renew by 15%. Revelations now has a 40 sec cooldown.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696959844199574090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-23086864399786529772010-10-28T16:10:37.322+01:002010-10-28T16:10:37.322+01:00I think you are forgetting that you're level 8...<i>I think you are forgetting that you're level 80</i><br /><br /><i>I know it's not supposed to be balanced around level eighty content</i><br /><br />Ahem. :P<br /><br />I do hope that things will be different at 85; in fact I'm counting on it. But at the end of the day, I have no way of getting there for another two months or so, so the only options for me are to continue playing in a state that I don't find fun or doing something else until things get fixed. That should be an easy choice actually, but it's not because I still love the class. However, when every raid turns into an exercise in frustration, something's got to change.<br /><br />And it's not just about numbers; it's not as if I always topped the meters before either. But there's a difference between not topping the meters and performing poorly. I definitely feel that I'm doing the latter as of late, and that I could do better on pretty much any of my other healers, where I don't feel as tied down by currently half-baked mechanics.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-45603887520535096902010-10-28T15:48:06.856+01:002010-10-28T15:48:06.856+01:00I hate to seem like I'm really brow beating yo...I hate to seem like I'm really brow beating you into liking your priest and I'm not trying to diminish your complaints or your feelings about it - but I think you are forgetting that you're level 80. I don't feel you can really get an accurate picture of something until you're seeing how it works with level 81 greens or you're seeing how your healing style will change in a Cataclysm 5 man. <br /><br />When I decided to re-roll from a resto druid to a holy priest, I was seeing the full spectrum of what changes I didn't enjoy. I was seeing how I performed at 80, doing the initial dungeons, I was seing what it was like as a premade 85. It wasn't pretty. Granted, the mechanics were half the reason for my decision - but I really felt like I had all the information to make that decision. <br /><br />I just feel like people are forgetting that you're not really seeing the full picture, just yet and I still feel people are looking at that "I must top healing meters" mentality. I hate to be so bold, but I would really get over that mindset, before Cataclysm hits. Meter watching and obsessing about things like that is really not going to help anyone, for that matter. It's more about your job and fulfilling your role than "I can haz big heel numberz!" Same for DPS. Obsessing about Recount and not CCing who you need to be is not going to help. <br /><br />:)Oestrushttp://divineaegis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-46178701912577353292010-10-28T15:16:59.716+01:002010-10-28T15:16:59.716+01:00I thought I was really a fan of chakra, but after ...I thought I was really a fan of chakra, but after giving it some thought I realized I'm only a big fan of renew chakra. It's hard to keep up the AOE one. Meanwhile, the renew chakra renews itself without any effort, and hots are powerful. I found myself using Renew Chakra all the time. <br /><br />On the plus side, I found that priests are far better tank healers than they used to be (although, again, I was still using the renew chakra for the hot. Heal chakra, imho, could really use some synergy with greater and flash heals).<br /><br />I think a lot of folks are considering new mains right now. It's hard, I don't think any of us want to reroll the FotM, but, I don't want to play and not have fun either. I just don't know what is going to be "fun" at 85. If your guild is fine with a main switch right now just so you can enjoy raiding, though, I say go for it.enlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113088007518211865noreply@blogger.com
