Why Priests are broken

#0 - Jan. 15, 2009, 9:49 p.m.

(Old thread name: We need another healing forum)

This time please dont allow priests in it.

Druid question: Is the lifebloom not blooming on DK's removing them working as intended? If so, can you please revisit this decision with the other developers. It counters exactly what the lifebloom is said to do in the tooltip (i.e. bloom when dispelled)

Shammy mana spring totem: Is there any reason why this is group clamped? Being that all the other totems seem to be raid wide, just wondering if this could also be an oversight.

Also can you give some form of timeframe as to when we should expect an update to the UI for healing. Currently I am fairly sure that the standard one is unusable in a party environment of greater than 2. Also is there any kind of direction as to the look and feel of it?

Lifebloom not blooming with Blood Plague is working as intended.

I have mentioned our UI in a couple of threads. To briefly reiterate, some players just like managing mods, which is why we support it. But you should be able to heal a raid without a mod. I have done it, but it should be easier than it is. Incorporating more useful tools into the default UI without overcomplicating it is something we are definitely interested in. An example I use a lot is the ability to view buffs and debuffs on a target at once. For say a Resto druid healing Maexxna who is also doing Abolish Poison, it can be frustrating not to see both.

I know it can be frustrating when a singluar topic seems to dominate a forum for a time. For some players the topic is critically important if not game-breaking for them. For others it feels like a distraction. It happens. In my experience, complaining about the dominance of the current topic (whatever it is) does not usually help.
