| Honestly? I don't think that you should be able to heal at all in the first place. I think healing should be removed entirely from the game. The focus of the 'healer' should be that entirely of support. Support in the form of preventing the other guy from doing damage in some shape or form. The closest we should come to a 'heal' should be power word shield.
The paladin for example would have HoJ be on a 20 second cooldown, holy shock would be a spell interrupt like counter-spell. Consecrate would reduce any non-holy damage dealt in it's AoE by 50%. Holy Light would be replaced with Holy Ward which would absorb 50% of the damage dealt to the target up to a maximum of say 10k damage. Flash of light would be replaced with flash ward, an instant-cast (6 second recast) ward that absorbs 75% of damage dealt on the next attack against the target. Blessing of Sacrfice/Freedom/Protection would be un-nerfed.
Then you also give the paladin appropriate damaging skills. Excorcism should work on all players, just deal 2x damage to undead/demons. Holy Shock/Consecrate damage coefficients increased. Judgement portion of SoR increased significantly. Hammer of Wrath work on any foes below 40% health instead.
But that's just me. The whole 'healing wounds' thing never made much sense in an in-combat sense. You'd think as a holy man who seeks to aid my allies I"d focus more on preventing them from getting hurt in the first place.
I seem more like a sadistic bastard in that I let my friends get beaten to a bloody pulp and then heal them up just to let them get the shit kicked out of them again. (See below)
But it's too late for WoW to do something about this so fuck melee and fuck Mortal Strike. |
