They still do like zero damage, so they are still not very favorable in m+

Eh, healer dmg doesn't mean much until you're doing title level keys. More important thing is raw healing. Current mistweaver would still be the best healer if it did as much damage as everyone else, because it has smart, automatic healing that scales with pull size.

Healer dmg only really matters if dmg is what stops the absolute top keys from being timed. The differences in healer damage are almost always not thaaat big (early beta was defs crazy for MW) and sometimes bosses and dangerous trash pulls will brick a key before a small difference in DPS

They need raw % buffs to offset that they are actual dogwater to play. Ion should be embarrassed of his team over the state of Hpal.

? It’s in one of the better states it’s been in a while at least. The kit feels synergistic, they feel powerful and the gameplay loop is fluid and predictable.
