this is why i dont post jerk off parses.
its not b/c im necessarily overpowered, but b/c I have complete understanding of what is going on at all times as well as timing. I rarely make mistakes and am good at adjusting. That zonewide does not show the capabilties of most furies.
In addition from a utility standpoint we arent offering much. we have agitate which can be put on only 1 person, and vim which has such a small benefit because of diminishing returns.
I pay attention to every detail and test it thoroghly, I know when to cast what depending on who is in the raid and the length of time for encounters, all of this matters. I'm constantly casting something whether its to keep up power or just premptively to get up a proc or make sure i dont have to heal for the first 10 seconds. I really am not the typical fury.
If furies were that overpowered guilds would run with an overabundance of furies, but they dont. DPS is our niche as a healer and if that were taken away we would have very little left. Especially after seeing what is happening with RoK which LFG you are fully aware of.
Another big deal when comparing us to other preists, is we are the only ones who are purely casting oriented. As soon as we switch to heal mode we do little to no dps whereas other classes can just target through the mob and auto attack for 1k easy. there are trade offs and healers are prolly the only well balanced archtype at this point in time.
just wanted that cleared up.
