    DC is many times superior to OP and SW in healing due to changes in mechanics, paladin and warlock magnitudes do not withstand any competition with cleric. no plans to do something about it? How about up magnitude for OP and SW?

    Do you play all these classes? You can best compare them when you have good knowledge about all of them. Not when some warlock healer would heal more than you in a trial, or something.

    I won't say anything about paladins because I stopped playing paladin healer in mod 18. But warlock and cleric are pretty balanced. One class excels over the other in different situations.

    Cleric's heals are stronger but they eat a lot of divinity while Warlock's heals are weaker and they eat less soulweave.
    Cleric's heals are good in large AoE context while Warlock heals are in a fixed spot only and they heal better than cleric's in context of having to stand still (on heal over time spec).
    Warlock TAB single target power heals better than cleric's but also consumes soulweave faster.
    Cleric provides better defense buffs than the Warlock but the Warlock provides a small offense buff that the cleric does not have.

    So all in all, make sure you're using a good build and maybe consult with other healers how they do things (maybe there's an important thing you're missing on your healer?). Since these classes excel in different scenarios, you can't say one is overall better than the other. I'm playing both in end game Master Zariel and I like them both so I've got no reason to defend a class over the other :)

    Warlocks are currently weaker then clerics because a lot of them can't keep up with the increased dmg players take now, the weaker, more spread out heals of warlock can't do a lot if 2, 3 or 4players get reduced to 10% of their hp in a few seconds during a trail or dungeon, cleric can't deal with this either but the raw amount of heals they can pump out in a relative short time makes the difference between being wiped in 10 seconds or being wiped in 30

    For the 2 to be equal the amount of dmg players take right now on live need te be worked on again, if a group of one dot mobs can eat the tank alive in 3 seconds flat no healer can deal with that

    @nitocris83

    “ Herald’s Defense changed to 5% defense and power rather than raw values. ”

    This hasn’t been changed. These boots’ bonus still is giving raw ratings rather than % as suggested.

    Was this skipped on or is there any plans on actually change it into % values?

    Thanks

    I'm sorry, but where is the description of the latest changes in patch NW.125.20210119a.9? Or do we ourselves have to guess what has changed?
