Well, often you get mana spring/mana tide, which is a pretty good substitute for BOW. Its the damage casters where the allies have an advantage.
Quote:High rank flash heal spamming is still an excellent way to go out of mana during a fight of any reasonable length
But I said spaming heal2 shouldn't ever put you OOM with mid BWL gear.
Quote: Healing Touch is not a good example spell to use; in much the same way as druids don't usually go around spamming top-rank healing touch
I said healing wave, the shaman spell. Rank 6 hits for 1.1kish in my healpower type gear, and more or less I don't go OOM. If its an 8/8 EF fight, I lose some healing power, but can scale up to rank 8 hitting for about 1.5k and really not go out of mana. I believe CW is that HT4 is the sweetspot for druids. Top rank healing touch is also not 6, more like 10.
Quote:No, mana tide and mana spring are nowhere near as good as JoW. But let's not start off down that route ;-) each side will find out soon enough.
Misspoke when I said JOW anyways, meant BOW.
Back to the subject at hand, I think differentiating the spells is better. The way downranking was getting out of hand (and stupidly out of hand in the Xpac), with low rank long spells getting silly good HPM such that they were the proper choice 95% of the time is a bad thing. I think having 4 heal buttons is enough. I don't need a bunch of low ranks to feel like I have choices in healing.
