Priest Changes Coming!

[Raelynn]

If going 46 into Restoration doesn't get me enough benefit to actually heal in raids, what do I do now?

All of this is at least somewhat mitigated if Greater Heal's HP/s is reduced to below Healing Touch's.  Then there's a theoretical point where Druids have an advantage.  But I don't know if that theoretical point will ever be reached, because I'm sure Greater Heal will be efficient enough and have enough HP/s to keep any tank up.

The issue that I saw personally with druids compared to priests is that a priest which was holy specced sacrificed a lot of damage for a slight gain in healing power comparably. A restoration specced druid could be basically a better healer and still had a ton of utility compared to the priest.

Basically, a priest specced to healing could only heal, while a druid specced to healing still could do a lot more, with basically the same healing power. The fix I could see is to make priests a better healer than druids at that point, or to give them some more utility or something while going down that spec. It seems Blizzard is moving towards making them a better healer.
