Disc tier itemization

[Fridgee]

What's the rationale behind priest tier gear doing holy damage with no healing?

Ele gets damage and healing. Ret gets damage and healing. Prot gets damage and healing. Balance gets damage and healing. Seems directly contrary to the hybrid damage/healing fantasy.

Because Disc priest is already an extreme damage sponge.

Stronger shields, higher armor, able to self heal with little or no pushback, and can still deal consistent ranged dps (also with little to no pushback).

nerfing healing makes them less OP in one one one and team play scenarios, where they still offer enhanced support but without the addition to raw healing output that holy provides.
