Focus Heal

so after the huge nerf of that skill is it relay useful now i barely feel it doing anything

on a side note lvling priest at the moment is hard they only get focus heal and regeneration circle at the low lvl and they cant heal people up until u get lvl 60 and get some more heals and even then its very hard it feels like u need your apex skills to be able to do anything as priest

before mystic gave more dmg and priest more heals now it doesn't feel like that anymore

    That whole "mystic dmg priest heals" thing hasn't been the case ever since they buffed mystics' heals and let them do burst healing super easily. You're right though; right now mystics have an edge when it comes to healing output in general since they can work with thrall of life, motes, a better focus heal, boomerang pulse, and totem, and their power/crit aura buffs don't disable half their healing kit and force them to be melee dps like edict does to priests.

    It's a big change. Some people like it. I enjoy it, personally, but it's been harder for me to carry traps this way. In places with bleeds it's been a real challenge since people are used to just getting hit and having their hp go from 0 to 100 in a blink but that's a lot harder now. It's especially nerve racking when zerks in unleash mode stand in front of a hard hitting boss and bleed like crazy while I'm in edict working so hard to keep them alive that I can barely manage buffs/debuffs for the rest of the group, but that's another rant entirely. Honestly if they fixed healing immersion so the lockon doesn't feel buggy as heck, I'd be happy and just suck up all my other issues with the class. Sometimes I'll lock onto people with that skill and it doesn't even happen, it's so frustrating.

    personally I removed all glyphs from it and rebound it to "5", using it to top someone off occasionally or when I'm entirely out of options. But it's literally the worst heal out of all you have now, perhaps not counting glyphed Kaia's or the heal on your buff.
    I use it like once per boss, if that.
  • Yea focus heal is more of a topper for me. When I’m not dpsing the boss or etc I’ll use focus heal. Imo priest has become a lot similar to how mystics used to be ( before all the buffs that made it easy? I say this because mystic playstyle is a little tricky to me now) now you really have to engage more, make sure you’re keeping your buff up ( titanic wrath) before the change and dpsing the boss. I’ve had my priest for quite a while so I’m not sure how it is leveling wise but I can only imagine how hard it is. I mean CS alone is hard w/o the new healing skills so I’m 100% sure pve is just cancer!

    None so far, the point was people were being super lazy and just spamming direct heal to fill HP bars instantly. It was mostly mystics due to their broken heal, and this nerf doesn't really bother them so much since they can chain totem, but I've heard of some priests who are having issues now because they just played lazy mode pre-awakening.

    Honestly healing isn't that hard with Awakening, in fact it's a bit more fun now. But I do feel for any healer who isn't able to Awaken due to the iLvl restriction, honestly I wish BHS would've made it so the heal nerfs didn't apply until you Awakened since it's just awful healing before 439 and especially leveling up.

    I think priests always forget you can disable edict as soon as you activate it, your party still gets the 20 second buff and you get your heals back.

    tbh once I get used to healing in edict I hardly even feel the need to turn it off unless things are really going bad, I'm talking 4 people getting hit including me by the hunt mechanic in rrh and bleeding to death while being spread in 3 different directions.
    Shocking implosion and holy burst are pretty comfy and cover up for stuff well, especially when everyone's all nice and grouped up
  • @AbstractCH while I agree I think this post is more so in regards to priests who aren’t awakened.

    Yea same, I rarely turn off edict I'm just saying it is possible if you really need it.

    I'm mostly more bothered about priest crappy focus heal in pvp because in bg's you can't use divine charge or holy burst which are what actually make up for focus heal being trash, and all other skills have long cd's you can't afford to have in pvp and then you get ppl complaining about heals :/
