Actually the reason people downranked was for mana efficiency. Nothing to do with aggro. Since a max rank HL can heal for 9k+ crit and the tanks usually don’t take such big hits, a max rank would just cause overhealing which is 300-400 mana wasted. Wheras a R5/6 heal would heal them right up but cost half the mana and no over healing.

It’s a shame, but blizzard will make changes as needed.

I just hope Blizzard realise now that in PvP rogues can get away with anything…we can’t R1 Concercrate, AE etc now so they will almost always get the opener. Might aswell rename “Stealth” to “Invisability” because thats what it’s going to effectively become.

@Kenzi
you do not gain threat from over healing, true.
However the more points you heal the more aggro you get, so in a sence you gain aggro if you overheal

offs; the reason why healers downrank in the first place is so they DO NOT OVERHEAL and generate INSANE AGRO. it was the ONLY way for us to watch what we were doing as any decent healer already knows that overhealing is what causes the most agro. they really freaking want the healers to die; they are constantly nerfing us and now we essentually have NO way to watch our agro. gg freaking blizzard; you enjoy screwing up your game.

What aload of bullshit how the fuck are we meant to stop those cowardly pathetic rogues sneaking up on us when we are defending towers in AV. Bloody terrible idea.
