I’m currently clearing +17 as disco priest and, damn, healing feels really hard compared to last season.
AoE + target damage often deals 80% of one’s life in 2-3 sec and it always needs fact reactions, combined with the 25% healer nerf at the beginning of the season, dungeons feel much harder.
What’s your opinion on healing ? Is disco much harder ? Am I bad ?
Disc Priest is a challenging healer, period. In harder content it’s going to take a lot of knowledge of both your toolkit and the fights. I have been leveling my first disc priest (I’ve maxed every other healer except MW) and it’s a very different kind of healing than what I’m used to as someone who normally mains an R Druid and H Priest.
If you’re clearing +17s you’re not bad.
Absolutely agree on the comment about clearing 17s, you’re doing great!
Disc is all about being a proactive healer and that comes with time and learning the spec/dungeons. You’ll get used to what damage is going to be incoming, when to use a cd or just let attonement healing top people back up.
I’d say dont worry and definitely don’t think you’re bad, every key is a step to mastering the spec.
