CoH nerf, fear for future raid spots?! =O Beware the Wall-o-Text!

In TBC you decided to convert us to brainless COH spammers, it was not a choice we had tbh, you gave us an overpowered spell that actually overwritten every other spell in our casting bars. Whatever calculation one did it was always the CHEAPEST one, compared to casting time and healing done. Add to that the most serious factor that was the way encounters were designed you have the result …coh ftw. You made all the tbc high end instances so coh dependant that it hurts.

So in general lines its not like we Don’t know how to play…it is using the game skills provided for the encounters they were made to be used for or in a more vulgar way maximizing our characters potentials since there was no other potential given…unless u find it versatile to heal 5 people with flash heal instead of coh and use 7.5 secs instead of 3 and a hell load of more mana.

As for MT healing...good old classic times…heard the news? We don’t fit in MT healing anymore, after making the palas only good for that and gave druids the LB and treeform which rips out any other hot, it is absolutely pointless and silly to have a priest in the MT healing grp unless u go without paladins which is highly impossible…and that still is the case I am afraid. We seriously don’t fit into MT healing grps and its not because we cannot do it because we can, it is that other classes do it better so there is no point for priests go there unless they pray for a paladin to die at the pull…or bubble – hs.

All in all, for once more we don’t fit anywhere unless ofc you will design a battle shield based cause that’s the only left for our uniqueness. And so far so good…because new content is piece easy and it doesn’t really matter what classes you ll get (although malygos vortexes will be fun to c without coh) but what about 2 instances down the road? Will encounters be changed as well to fit the new nerfs? Or u will ask to do aoe healing encounters with only one class with a serious aoe skill? Which will end up to 4 shamans and 3 Mt healers again…cause if the encounters will be balanced I shut up for nerfing coh, if they are not I am afraid you should check again not the priest standing alone but the priest in relation to other classes and most of all the designed encounters in relation to a grp of healers of all classes and decide if you have ended up with a class that is actually needed for a reason or just exists for the sake of expansions.

And that is not whining about coh tbh, I never liked it since it had turned the class to a brainless unskilled achievement of who will beat the GCD but you are doing the same mistake again in my opinion and all we get is one more spell for the garbage cause I doubt coh will be used by any priest with a 6secs cd and with a so low base healing, it will be one more of the supplementary spells and frankly we are fed up of supplementary spells and being in raids to fill in the gaps without ever achieving perfection in one thing. Cause it is not we are afraid for our raiding spots, there is no good healer in any class to be afraid of being left outside from a raid, the question is why we always have to struggle about these raid spots and why not pay some attention to this class and balance it after 4 years of meaningless radical changes.

Summarizing, we are the most versatile class in the game only in papers. We could do everything good enough, but not as well as classes made for that can. One of our main disadvantages as a class (apart from cloth) has always been our mana efficiency. Half of our spells are sitting in our bars used rarely ever due to their high mana cost and our low mana efficiency. Have you asked those who test the classes for you what was the last time they used binding heal? POH? The lolwell? and were actually saving the day or found em affordable or needed? I am not gonna fall into the trap of comparing priest with other classes cause the point is not to nerf the rest to make priests feel better, the point is to balance a class that you have forgotten since Classic and just threw them a super uber pro skill in tbc to make em shut up.

I don’t understand why u gave us coh at first place we had a spell called POH which was fairly balanced considering its big casting time and the high mana cost, it would be more efficient to fix that spell to apply in the raid and even nerf its base healing; do whatever to it but bring these spells back to our active casing bars. It would be more decent and balanced to try and fix the old spells than giving us overpowered spells that you are nerfing a whole of a year later imho. You declare we are the most versatile class with a tone of spells to use when in action half of them are wasted bar slots.We do not actually ask much but give to the class the mana efficiency and design in our spells to put them back in game, no priest has asked for a nuclear weapon, just to be efficient in using all our skills that are now sitting in the spellbook and will still be there if not fixed even after the nerf.
