    appears it's devout cleric's turn to get a visit from the nerf gods. I haven't tested my cleric on preview yet. Was there any particular reason for the increase of divinity costs and decrease of magnitude? Were healbots too good?

    Devouts were good with sleep issues. Now they're just going to excel at it.

    @rwhitedev#7348 about the crit strike and healing, can you specify how this works? like is there a cap to crit, how exactly does you crit value affect ur chances for critical heals? percentages would be helpful

    .

    Oh for the love of the gods! I don't think I can handle this anymore. The nerfs to the healers were all due to ToMM? Really? Pally Sigil was also nerfed? Divinity costs increased? Was Spirit of Austerity also impacted? Has cleansing touch been given the ability to cleanse multiple party members in one shot (like it was pre-Mod 16)?

    I think its in PVE not just Tomm . It seems pally and cleric perform a little too well for developer liking.
    There were also complaints about the heals being a problem on the PvP side as well but all that doesn't matter to me anymore. I think I'm out. They only boosted the performance of one heal, Divine Shelter which (for me at least) is circumstantial and not a staple like Divine Touch is. Shelter is only synergized with Emissary of Warding unlike Divine Touch which is synergized with both Crit Touch AND Emissary. Cleansing Touch STILL requires a multiple recast, despite repeated calls for it to work like it did in the previous mod! Yeah. I'm done. It's been fun while it lasted folks. Take care and good hunting!
