Wow, from getting no buff at all even though we thought we were up to 15%... I'm kind of surprised that they'll let us get that high of a bonus to dmg/healing/health without first trying out the original 5% we were supposed to be getting, but I'm not going to cry that my dungeons finish faster either.
Yeah. I dont understand this. If it wasnt working as intended, why would you make it work and then bump it up another 10% in the process? Sounds like they are just finding any excuse to reduce the difficulty of Heroics. Probably due to the feedback they have been getting about them since Cata went live. God forbid you turn around and just admit you were wrong and screwed the pooch when you (ahem, Ghostcrawler) decided to increase the difficulty in Cata Heroics.

I'm trying to think of anything in a heroic where you will currently fail if you do it wrong, but where a 15% buff would let you succeed. Will a 15% buff help against the Stonecore endboss that throws boulders that hit for 700k damage?

Predictable change, and good for PuGs.
I have to wonder how it will make standing in place casting a slow boring heal any more fun though...
Baby steps I guess.

Too late for the most part. Based on my guild and the few others I have in game friends with this is too late. Far too many people are gone so I will be curious what their numbers will be come late Feb and March. I mean, my guild which could see 40+ during prime time back in November and such can't even crack 20 now. Similar situations exist with the others I know of.
Fortunately this fix provides both camps with something. The water cooler hard cores (and real ones) can still put their groups together and do heroics without the buff thus preserving their "difficulty" while those who cannot always put together groups get something to make it a bit easier.
Amazing how much of the game and player base they were willing to sacrifice just to make Arena Tournaments less of a joke

Too little too late for my guild. Most have canceled till things change enough.
Heck even my wife canceled and she is the hardcore of the hardcore and shes too frustrated to play right now.

Obviously GC thinks you just need to give it some more time and you will see the hallelujah! that WoW healing has really become.
And maybe this 15% bonus to your spells will help! Please!

I am confused...I thought they said that heroics were fine and people needed to just learn to play in PUG LFD groups. Am I wrong on this?
And Rift is shaping up to look pretty danged cool. I think I will give it a spin since I am MMO-less right now and have 2 weeks at home coming up.

In the meantime, the raid content and heroic raid content of this tier has already been cleared, with THIS healing. But the complainers must be right, there's something wrong with healing. Possibly that it requires more skill and thinking now than the button mashing fest it was in WotLK?

Totally right Korrigan except the skill is not needed for healing but for every other role. It is more thought provoking and requiring of skill for the other members of the team by a long shot. As long as you are playing with people that A. care, B. not suck, and C. are accountable for wasting everyone's time, you will sail through with even a mediocre healer.
Healing doesn't require anymore skill to play. Believe me, you are only spamming one button for the most part with a stupid gimick (Chakra, Combo point Word of Glory(?) pally heal, etc) thrown in. Healing is weak and irritating now. You should try it in a PUG sometime.
