Old WP main has questions WP vs DoK

[PlagueMonk]

I will say it up front though, the WP is a better straight up healer while the DoK is the undisputed king of melee healing. I have seen some crazy damage/heal numbers from DoKs in city.

Except wp is also a better melee healer dok and wp melee healing skills are mirrored except for wp healing prayer being stronger and devour essence/sigmars shield

DE used to be a great burst heal when an ally was getting pressured now it heals for 200 - 300 per tick if it hits 4 people heals less if it doesnt also only lasts 5 seconds

Sigmars shield heals 100 per tick but can proc multiple times iirc also lasts for 10 seconds

Add on the +15% healing from kobs and wp is clearly the winner

What you are saying sounds good on paper but I have yet to see a WP match what a good DoK can output. They are always topping the charts in city in both categories. I don't play a DoK so I don't know why exactly. Maybe they are going dual swords for the extra DPS = more healing and relying on healing/tank support for extra survivability, IDK.

Guys stop speculating on classes you have obviously not played. WP and DOK have the same core ability healing output, all of their lifesteals cannot benefit from buffs and cannot be debuffed either.

Just for clarification sake for future Grace WPs, Focused Mending does not boost the healing of lifetap heals (no healing buff/debuff does).

You tested this? Healbuffs might boost a part of sigmars radiance dmg and maybe sigmars shield... They do boost EoV of AM, probably the healing part, but it is technically a lifetap.
It shouldnt boost divine assault and divine strike.

Yes. I helped design and balance the class.
