Patch 3.0.8 Patch notes - Priest CoH nerfed
It was introduced in the Beta of WOTLK and will be put upon the holy priests: a 6 sec CD on CoH. I dont know exactly what this will do to our healing done. I think a really big drop on healing done because we dont get anything in return for it. a summary. with my glyph CoH can heal 6 persons. This is a smart heal to everyone in 15 yard range of the target. Normally i could spam it, only having the global cooldown. before i could spam 3 CoH heals in 6 seconds. this will be nerfed to only 1. CoH heals for 2K-4K x 6 = 12K-14k x 2 = 24-48K less healing on normal trash. In the time i cant cast my CoH can heal a 1.5 flash heals or 1 GH this wil do up to 12K healing at this moment. But most of this will this become overhealing done.
So i will loose at least half my healing done on trash every 6 seconds and maybe more because of the big chance of overhealing.
The difference on bossfights is a little less due to the mana ah CoH heal cost. but still in fights like the 4 horseman where we switch sides the change will be huge.
And besides the COH change my talents that depends on instant cast crits will be nerfed too.
In total im NOT happy about this and im eager to hear other opinions

Re: Patch 3.0.8 Patch notes - Priest CoH nerfed
I'm really happy with the nerf to CoH and wild growth, I don't like the way how they nerfed it though. Fact is that no matter how much aoe dmg bosses throw at us during an encounter it all seems trivial when a druid and/or a priest is spamming their aoe heals. A 6 second cooldown seems to counteract the way a holy priest is "meant" to heal though. CoH will stay a very efficient instant heal (low mana compared to the amount of healing it does), so ideally you'd want to use it on every cooldown. But unlike other classes/specs holy priests (and resto druids I guess) are heavily reliant on mana regen outside of the 5sec rule (top up everyone, do nothing for a while so you regen mana, top up everyone, etc), but if you want to use your most efficient heal on every cooldown you're getting almost 0 time outside of the 5sec rule.
I guess some thought will have to be put into group setup again and use prayer of mending or holy nova (very nice when glyphed!). Or just stack chain heal spamming shamans again like the good ol' days.
"And besides the COH change my talents that depends on instant cast crits will be nerfed too." <- What's this about, I don't see anything about in the patch notes?

Atm the talent [Surge of Light] is very nice combined with CoH. every 1-4 heals, i get an instant cast Flash Heal free. This is particulary nice when you healing up AoE damage and therefor the health of tank or just one dps drops a little more and bam a instant mana free Flash Heal.
