No. We dont buff his class for DPS very well!

Relica

Then maybe he should make it so we do

I barked at him on beta and he suddenly buffed me to 80 with all the nice stuff

WooF :-)

Do we really need our Hots buffed? I would like some buffs instead that make me valueable in a group or at least something useful

WC-Larry

From what I understand (please somebody correct me if I am wrong), the changes to HOTs are just the focal point for the overal druid revamp. I believe they are also going to look over other our spells, AAs, and buffs to help bring us more in line with other healers.

Ariel

Please God, let this be true.

I think the HoTs buff sounds interesting - I'd like to try it. But not sure if a heal that terminates after the end of it in a burst ..helps with burst damage. There's not really any control over it. Unless there's something I don't understand about this, which is entirely possible.

I don't mind getting some things that will make us better (buffs, debuffs), but I honestly don't want to have to relearn my class.

Well, here's the two slides related to priest balancing that they actually had at Fan Faire. Yeah the pictures suck, its an old camera and I was at an angle to the screen.





Oh, and hi Lemon ;)

I used to be in the Corporate world, and these 2 powerpoint slides represent 'I'm gonna do just enough to be able to put in my resume I presented this, but not enough to actually have worked very hard at it".

Relica

Well to me it looks like they are just looking at heals and Cure AA .. not anything with buffs .. which i would rather see honestly. Cure AA's aren't gonna make us anymore wanted in raids than what we have to offer right now.

I don't know where they get their logic for how to assist druids.
Heal priority has always been a problem for druids, the logical fix to me would be to do something inventive with the buffs druids have, or turn unused HoT portions into a temporary buff of some kind...or something, adding more heals seems counter productive.

but whatever...maybe they'll turn it into something useful or it might just magically work via adding more raid damage and less curecurecurecure or being able to spam it on a full health party member to spread it out and spike group heals for a low cost.

Heals target for 1000-2000
Heals target for 700-800 every 2 seconds

if target is less than 100% health.

Summons 1 Amazing Faceroller Shadowknight

if target is at 100% health.

removes warden from raid.

places shadowknight in raid.

• if shadowknight does not exist in <Guild> summon class that benefits a dark elf assassin the most.

P.S. Also..I just reread the slides. Without hearing the verbal presentation with it, could it be possible that the Devs think healer's special heals that stun them (like our Hierophant's Useless Heal) are our Emergency Heals? And those are what they are looking at?

/blink.
