Healer balance patch ?

[g0dz1lla]

Hi

I heard that a "healer balance patch" will be released soon.
is this true ? if so, do we have any information ?

[crystl32]

who told you that? Oo
As if shamans need any balance...

The healer balance patch already happened a few months ago. (22nd August? same time as they did the weapon skill / init change)

We had tanks first, then healers, next is DPS. Or maybe they did the DPS one too and I missed it as I wasn't playing much of november / december.

The roadmap (from 21st June 2024) briefly outlined what they were planning. Once they're done with DPS, they intend to tackle career specialisation (aka fixing iconic specs).


Ofc, they're constantly balancing and tweaking. There is usually some change or another to classes virtually every patch.

Not quite true.
There was already a first stage healers patch.
This is certainly not the end.
Although the truth is that healers are the best balanced archetype in the game.
All healers classes are already pretty well balanced and playable.

Does this patch affect the game meta?

I'm proven wrong


Obviously the big patch healers got months ago was not *the* healer patch.

I'm glad we finally got it though, I've been enjoying learning all the new ways shaman skills work. No idea how its gonna affect the meta, and don't really care. I'm still having fun!

Glad to hear you're enjoying the new shaman skills! The ongoing adjustments should keep things fresh, even if the major healer patch isn't the last one. Keep having fun!
