WP Skill change....

[diedrake]

Ok, where on your skill trees is that ability in? Is it in heal tree? Or one of the dps trees?

Maxing str/ crit, maximizes the 2 abilities you are suggesting to lower damage, increase heal percent AND undefendable.

As you stated earlier melee healers are not in a good spot right now, why are you proposing to inherently nerf those for a melee healer just so that you can use those abilities in the backlines?

I am just disagreeing with your suggested change.

A nerf to damage and in increase to healing/consistency, how does that nerf a healer? Some of the best heals a WP has are 1. Melee, and 2. dependant upon getting through enemy defenses/mitigations to be worthwhile. In its current iteration, it is clumsy and doesn't leave much variation to healing builds. Perhaps a better idea, to leave lolwpdps alone, would be a tactic to change them to flat healing, low damage, undefendable. Maybe make divine fury affect melee heals as well, then.

WP dps isn't optimal but it works in good setups, even grace healing with WW can be beneficial and spreading your parry buff, however i do feel like WP's need a 50%HD it will give them that extra niche.

P.S. Costmetic off hand shields like the lord from TC would be nice *wink *wink

Might aswell just bring a class with a reliable HD ~
SW (HD + inidebuffs), would allow you to basically completly ignore crit and stack more defenses.

Or maybe I just need you to get BL and go Two hander guard me Mr Nivy

CANT nerf the damage. It would kill the few brave players who play dps WPs.
You have to choose to either go dps or healing. If you want to meleeheal then you have to gear and specc for it.
Myself either go full healing or full dps (with some support meleehealing when needed) But when im healingspecced i almost never hit people. Let the other classes handle the violence.
Before rr60 its pretty pointless going dps anyway. The survivalbility us just way to low. And even then a WP should avoid parryspecced enemies/tanks.

The WP has had a 50% HD for like 2 months now.

[GodlessCrom]

Much longer than 2 months. Absence of faith has been that way since they removed .ab ex for WP, IIRC. That, and the buff to the execute, were some of only changes that stuck.

Any particular reason why it was reverted back to 25, in my eyes just get rid of the ability and allow dps WP to have a small niche:P
