another good thread via this issue.

Also going ot point this out forum post as well

ok WE are a healer class this is correct, and i do see your point alot of DSC do try to play there class as DPS instead of healing but upon lookign at balance and favoribility i am going to map desirebilty in each healer class.

Group benfits.

Cleric; Heals/Buffs - better mitigation with plate.

Shaman; Heals/strong group buffs

BloodMage; Heals/Buffs - and also have pretty decent DPS also.

Disciple; Heal/FD

Solobility;

Cleric's; still have a strong regen ability and a ward, also have better mitigation thne us via plate.

Shaman; Have a pet better DPS via some spells

BloodMage; Awsome DPs upon soloing

Disciple; can barely solo two dots....we can FD if it doesnt fail and run away.

 

THe point of the thread is with the lacking in DPS, no Buffs. the only thing a group would want us for is in case of a wipe, but 80% of the time as a healer will be eatign dirt before the chance to FD arrives with the mitigation as well.

 

This is in regards to the decrease in mitigation since i have seen Tali post in monks figure this would be a good place to bring Disciple issues to his attention as well.  going ot rip a few posts i plaved in game isssues on the vanguard board.

After the last patch are DPS was decreased as was are mitigation.

We already went down pretty fast in a group. so now we dont have many buffs, we have timer on are FD of one minute, we have low DPS, Low mitigation.

so outside of healing a group we are about useless, i love the class i really do. but with the dps loss and the mitigation loss, i solo a two dot like alot of classes do a three dot.

i hit now for around 150 yesterday it was 250. i did a epic crit today with a finisher move for 650. this would have been 1200 yesterday. starting think if we cant DPS maybee more buffs? or loss the FD timer, as it stands even if i do FD if i gain aggro upon standing up i will be dead upon seconds anyways.
