Patch Notes 18/04/2025

[BluIzLucky]

AM's are absolutely pumping heals atm in WB play, perhaps have a look around for some different specs if you do not feel the same.

Haven't played that much, but the int heal spec I've played so far seems to be about 20-50% better (used to be about the same) than the handful of BIS willpower healing AMs I've come across.
While still doing less healing overall vs pre-patch.
And the gap up to warrior priest level has increased.

I'd love to see the crazy good WB wp AM build, but as far as I see, they took a 50% nerf to EoV and LA, which used to made up +80% of total healing and it shows.

I like the new update with master runes but the range nerf is too bad, I suggest make it 100ft again, the 50ft range is making us RP suicide

[Akalukz]

yeah the range restriction is strange, heals ok from 100+' mechanic, nah lets go with 50 like mele Dok, you go ahead and stay back with all that armor

[Akalukz]

Spoiler:

The +5ap cost is not that bad, considering we no longer have to refresh the ritual
-50feet range is a huge nerf
Even if pinky was the best for zeal healers, it's sad to remove the 2 other rituals visuals

If any dev is reading:
Even more now that range is lowered, would be nice if we could always see the rituals from our party
With effects displaying on self only you can't see any but your
(+ playing on destro, to remove magus puddles)

edit: Also if 2 nexus are too close they get visual / fonctional bugs

Question To DEV/Balance Team:
Does this pach concludes the Healers Balance Part?

Let's hope so
Shamy is the only one I liked the changes
Playing the 3 healers on destro, dok is the main victim imo, dps and shield dok feel awful to play.

SDOK is 100% a waste of time to play now. Took the fun right out of it. Remove front line aoe healing, nerf build/take spam

[machopi1]

There was *ZERO* reason to dong over the zealot's rituals like that. But i guess they needed a reason to give ordies on-demand snare cleanse and another aoe cleanse.
*slowest clap in the world*

[Sinisterror]

Im actually starting to really enjoy dps dok now + dps zealot as well! But agreed that rituals didnt need changes.

[deinelieblings]

I am always a huge fan of your updates. They're often good and outstanding for the possibilities, but the new Zeal is just less fun. I actually like playing it so much. The one with the Nexus just feels completely different. Is it possible to bind the spells in macros? The Nexus itself doesn't create a global cooldown and you could fire the other rituals right after it. As one spell, so to speak. This would make the handling less annoying.

[Avernus]

I'm sorry, did i miss something or chosen Bane Shield stack is still in game?

Which "int heal spec I've played" is this? If it's INT based EOV spam, with Arcing Power + Dissipating Energies - I have yet to see how it's superior to Willpower healing. EOV has a 2s cast, with a 5s CD, and outside of that you don't have much of group healing. Plus now that Radiant Gaze doesn't trigger a +1 of the mechanic on every target hit, you no longer benefit as much from the mechanic and Empowered Lores.

I have great solution for balance team - make 24 targets only BW/Sorcs Engi/Magus ! And problems will be solves. Its fair and gonna be balance wb meta of this classes have got more viable now in wb.
