I ran Naxx 25 this past week, and can tell you that I did not really see a problem with mana regeneration. As I suspected, the change has little effect in 25 mans, as I was still using Divine Plea fairly often, and still managed to cling to the high end of the healing meters. When I used Divine Plea on Patchwerk while healing the OT, I made sure that I also popped Avenging Wrath. Now, two questions remain: How does this affect the 10-man Naxx and entry level healers, too? Experiment time! I will, over the next couple of weeks, gather (again >.<) the blue gear from my gear guide, and will run a couple of 10-mans. I will then report on the results, and see if we need to look over how we should rank our starting gear. Expect to see a post on it soon.

The book "The millionaire next door" is a must read. It's not a philosophy
book, it's about a study that the authors did interviewing thousands of
wealthy...

I didn't notice anything different in 10 mans-though I'm not longer in what one could exactly call entrance level gear, either...
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid it might hurt a lot more for the entry-level folk, though. :(
It just annoys the hell out of me that we got hit with this before anyone else. Immature? Probably.
ReplyDeleteI've done a couple of "experiments". I did Sartharion without using Divine Plea. My mana was... Well, horrible. I finished up struggling but I checked the other healers - all on WELL above 50%.
I healed Patchwerk and used Divine Plea. It went OK.
I don't like talking about the DP nerf, much - it really just makes me angry. I'm tired of getting nerfed faster and harder than the other classes (or so it feels like, I'm being a sook today lol).
I also think this was just a poor change - feels like it wasn't properly thought out at all; and was simply a "Oh, we'll just slap a bigger healing penalty on it, that'll do". Feels like they could really be bothered thinking about it at all.
