Краб на протяжении последней недели вяло отбивался от недовольных шаманов. Пачка твитов, касающихся ресторов:
Resto Shaman are in a bad spot; behind in most metrics, including the weakest raid CD in 25s. They need some love in 5.4
What metrics? We find HPS is a poor way to evaluate healer power. Healing often doesn't come down to just button mashing.
HPS is a huge metric in what healers are brought to raids only next to utility/absorb, why is it poor viewing?
The job of healers is to keep the raid alive, not heal as much as they can every second.
HPS can be a useful measurement in that discussion, but too many forum posts and tweets want to equate HPS with "healerness."
For example dps < dmg done to the correct target. Topping the meters is fairly easy...
I feel the need to repeat this every so often: HPS from aggregate sites is not a great way to measure who is the best healer.
Many raid leaders have a good sense for who their reliable healers are, but not the kind of thing that shows up from a simple Raidbots link.
WoL and Raidbots were some of the best... and worst... tools to put in the hands of the community.
How about the metric that every shaman that is posting on the forums is all but begging for your attention for change.
That's not really a useful metric and it's one shared by all healers.
This is why a forum discussion of strengths and weaknesses of *all* healers interests me more than the class forum thread.
Class forums have a propensity for: Bliz has no direction for us, never plays us, doesn't respond to our threads.
Stick with class forums for discussions of gems etc. If you want to talk power, do it where other classes will respond IMO.
Полностью переводить не буду, так как вода опять. Основные моменты: класть он хотел на анализ wol и raidbots; задача хилеров, по его мнению, не выдать максмимальный хпс, а сделать так, чтобы рейд не умер; все будет хорошо, только отстаньте от меня.
Про HTT, который "забыли" бафнуть в 25тка наравне с транквилом, гимнов и ревайвлом.
You still haven't compensated Resto Shaman for not getting HTT buffed with other raid CDs in 5.3 causing us to be ~20% behind
HTT is a talent. Buffing it only makes it more mandatory for Resto. SLT is the shaman raid CD.
"HTT - это талант. Его баф сделает тотем практически обязательным выбором для ресторов, шаманское рейд кд - это спирит линк. "
Как будто сейчас HTT необязателен, сколько шаманов с наставлениями предков, 1-2% от общего числа ресторов? А проводимость кто-нибудь вообще брал и зачем?
