I can be more specific if thats the problem.
This is not the 1st time this spec shows up in this expansion or in the game.
* The first problem about it is that most of the healing it does is very inneficient by either going to targets that dont need it simply because they arent topped of. They are not gonna die or be even close to but they still contribute to what shows up in the metter.
* It also "steals" hps from other healers you are paired with due to the fact that most of what you do is easily healable since this spec can only deal with slow constant damage and they would heal through a big part of it without a phloromancer being there. The worst part about it is that thats all a phloromancer does, it brings no cooldowns, no mitigation or shielding like other specs do +they do what this spec does better, examples being chloro and lib.
* The passive healing talents you get from tact are worthless. The 50% healing on the core is not a real 50%, you can test it yourself by swapping and reading the tooltips. For the most part phystact specs have higher healing values for abilities.
* Restorative engine and curative remote cannot proc healing procs at all and group therapy has a chance of proccing on the first tick and i think so does the core, not 100% sure. Unless that has been fixed the past month, rip benefiting from healing procs.
* This one is a sad story... Restorative engine cannot crit. At all. This means rip cp scaling, rip crit benefits from a raid setup for that ability.
* Last but not least you can replace this with several aoe healing specs that do better and offer more to a raid.
That said, its still a niche spec that can do okish as an aoe healer, just not the most optimal thing to have.
Its still fun and interesting to play.
Also idc if break free on macros is a preference or w/e, if this is meant to be a guide you are objectively explaining people how to play. Having it like that is a mistake.
Oh and
here is one of the previous guides on it. That was prenerf remote, also managed to find the
qq thread for that one.
At the time the nerf got me thinking if it wouldnt be preferable to just go phystact with restorative + bolt.
You would lose the "nerfed" curative remote and the kinda useless 5O% talent to boost the core by doing that in exchange for higher healing from the physician talent tree. Honestly i never tested this.
