"Non sorcery heals only"

Anyone else see a lot of these shouts last 2-3 days? I've seen 4 in the last few days. Did sorcery heals get ninja nerfed recently? Because it's been awhile since i've seen them

Could just be people running with two healers and not wanting two of the same because they think things still overwrite?

They don't?

There was a GU fixing overwriting in general last year. No, they don't.

Nah they changed hots and dots overwriting a while back

I don't think they have for like 6 months atleast.

You think 6 months matters? Didn't you know dominance affects a tank's aggro?

No. People are just stupid. I solo DWF with sorcery.

What happens then if I set up a group shield and the other healer sets up a group shield as well?

Several GUs ago they made it so that DoTs and HoTs from one player no longer overwrite the DoTs and HoTs of another player. A player can still overwrite their own HoTs and DoTs with a few exceptions that never overwrite, like Quantum's Gravitonic Field and Sorcery's Soul Well.

That's an oldie

If shields are of the same category they will overwrite each other. This means Healer type shields that have hit limits will overwrite. Supercharge healer shields are a different category, and Tanks' and Trols' personal shields are different categories as well.

Sorcery doesn't have a great raid party heal, and has a longer cool down on the four player heal. These things can overwhelm someone who isn't skilled with the power when things get dirty.
One or two wipes is all it takes to make people in the community start placing blame.

I've seen a lot of "GLF NATURE HEALS 166+ PST CR/SP" ... My diagnosis is the power return. Even with a halfway bad troll an atomic tank and nature healer can do decent enough for most raids, give them a good troll and it's cake city. This power return mechanic gives nature the upper hand when compared to other powers, especially when players are looking at the power sets. So now people only want nature healers and it's hard to blame them when one has a feature the rest do not.

The solution is to give power back to all powers and all roles. Make "knowing your power" the key to keeping power up and refocus trolls to working debuffs and stuns with light power over time for people using more power heavy rotations such as an ice using reflect. I think this rebalancing would end well for all players and bring back some fun in all power sets.

I have seen the exact opposite. I have seen need nature healer only.

My guess for sorcery healers having 2 of the same in a group is pointless as certain power interactions still overwrite such as heals from soul well.

That's false. Soul Well never over write on anything. Even before the fix.

Before the fix kills from fallen enemies overwrite, just like how celestial curse kill overwrites today. Not sure if it still applies today.

But reasons like that are the #1 reason I dont like running with other celestial healers.

Ok here's the thing with Sorcery heals.

It is a localized thing, it can't heal across the room, and in most raids people like to spread out, take Happiness home, difficult to heal everyone, but nature and others don't have this problem. wish they would just correct it and make it like every other healing power.

My biggest gripe right now is I have ran several raids and each time there is a elect healer, and all he does is galvanize, no other healing is used, this is pathetic.

The other day I ran three separate alerts and raids, and in each I had a elect healer, each time this person used galvanize and nothing else. These are different toons, not the same person, but same actions.

If you guys have leagues please teach your people how to properly heal, not everyone is OP and doesn't need a healer.

For the 1st 2 rooms of DWF atleast, sorcery is the better solo heal for solo tank. I haven't solo healed the current raid entirely, but i gave soloed the 1st 2 rooms with a solo tank

Maybe from fallen enemies. I'm not sure, but not from the normal ticks/heals. They don't over write.
