With hotfixes to the PTR that are now deployed, today we’ve made the following updates to healers in Curse of Ula’tek.

Druid

  • Restoration
    • Abundance increases critical chance of Regrowth by 60% (was 50%) and reduces cost by 60% (was 50%).
    • Regrowth healing increased by 25%.

Evoker

  • Preservation
    • Developers’ notes: We’d like to reduce Preservation raid healing, as it has eclipsed other healers by a significant margin. At the same time, we’re increasing their triage healing through Verdant Embrace and Living Flame to help them out in dungeons where they are not overperforming.
    • Dream Breath healing over time reduced by 25%.
    • Merithra’s Blessing healing reduced by 10%.
    • Living Flame healing increased by 30%.
    • Verdant Embrace healing increased by 40%.
    • Reverberations causes Verdant Embrace to heal for 40% over 8 sec (was 60%).
    • Class set triggers Living Flame at 100% value (was 150%).
    • Life Spark increases healing and damage of Living Flame by 100% (was 50%) (does not affect PvP combat).

Monk

  • Mistweaver
    • All healing reduced by 8%.
    • Mastery: Gust of Mist healing increased by 50%.

Paladin

  • Holy
    • Holy Shock mana cost decreased by 11%.
    • Holy Shock healing increased by 50%.

Priest

  • Discipline
    • Penance damage and healing increased by 15%.
    • Grim Deliverance now increases Shadow Mend healing by 40% (was 30%) and increases its cast time by 0.3 seconds (was 0.5 seconds).
    • Atonement healing falls off more sharply when healing more than 5 targets.
      • Developers’ notes: For example, when healing exactly 10 targets, Atonement healing would be 7% less effective than it was before.
    • Void Shield absorption reduced by 10%.

    • Prayer of Mending healing increased by 20%.
    • Oracle: Prompt Prognosis healing increased by 30%.
