Yup it's a nerf...
Holy pallies were throwing up so much healing, and with beacon
of light healing another target at same amounts using 1 x mana
cost... With Judgement of Wisdom gaining back everything as fast as
they throw out...
It made holy pallies OPed in heal meters, easily outdoing the
closest healer of another class by 20%... So when they nerfed
Circle of Healing and the druid aoe heals last patch, it was gonna
be holy pallies turn this time...
Btw i love this thread... i can talk about WoW cos every other
wow-related site is blocked by the stupid company's filter....
*For those thinking of rolling a new toon right now, here are my
recommendations:
Melee
DPS - Rogues (pity fury warrs are either gonna stay
the same or get nerfed, DKs are great dps but a very complicated
class to play)
Ranged DPS -
Mages, Elemental Shamans (Mana replenishment is the new "in" thing,
mages getting replenishment in Ulduar patch and shammy totems will
rock. Sadly nothing much for warlocks.)
Healer - Resto
Shaman (nerf to mana will mean Tides totem will be everyone's
favourite thing to have.)
All-round -
Death Knights (currently the most well-rounded class, can tank, can
dps, can be ultra utility class)
