Comment by MilkiraGood change. This one food item was mandatory, and made all other food and drink obsolete. Now we are not forced into it. Although it would be better if drinking mana wasn't made so much more difficult now.Comment by MilkiraMana might actually be a thing for m+ now too.Comment by Geigs"No king rules forever." -Silas Darkmoon, 2020, probablyComment by voltron159So many of these changes make no sense. They are solving for problems that nobody has. Sugar-Crusted Fish Feast was fine the way it was, its less of a buff than you would get from normal food, but you replenish mana way faster. Nobody is forced to use it, but the Blizzard fun police caught wind of it and are like "oh no no no, we can't have people having fun or playing the game the way they want."Comment by TwaxEach day start in Blizzard "Who find new way how to kick off more players from game ?"

This is the result when blizzard programmers , where going max one LFR raid in week create M+ rules and absolutely dont have idea what he doing.
- this fish is unique becasue if you die , you save healer mana after ress, and take small versa buff for 20 min, M+ is time event dear blizzard noobs, M+ players dont have 1-10 min to prepare after wipe, that Mythic raiders
- now by blizzard idea after each pack we wait 20 sec for healer mana, gj blizzardComment by ShamalamamHealing is already much more difficult than dps.Comment by nlc1Good players will figure out the best way to refill their healer’s mana. It’s only a small increase in the amount of team coordination required. M+ is still going to be free mythic loot, don’t panic.Comment by ThanatasgrThe current meta for healers in BFA is to drink for 2-3 seconds between every pull, which makes Mana a non-issue at all.

Given that raid healers have to be balanced around Mana, this has led to the most Mana hungry healers always being OP in M+ and the most Mana efficient healers always being majorly undertuned in M+.

This change is designed to make healer Mana matter in M+, because while it didn't, it was always going to be a massive balance issue. Now the efficient healers make up for their lower throughput by needing less breaks to drink.Comment by qaccyI've already refunded my purchase of Shadowlands. Since then, I've seen nothing but even more nerfs/changes to ensure that absolutely nothing from any other expansion is relevant or even usable in SL. At the rate Blizz is going, they're going to start putting level caps on normal gear to strip the small advantage being raid-geared has going into leveling in a new expansion.Comment by ArrayaI find the slower mana ramp-up of drinking to be pointless, its just...Comment by mythicowAs a broke high mythic+ healer.. thank god. Hopefully they don't revert this or make the new feast like the old one, because I'm tired of being expected to spam these feasts in mythic+ when the costs hundreds of gold each on my server. It's utterly dumb that being a healer costs you thousands of gold per run in mythic+ if you want to be competitive. I'd rather everyone be a slow drinker like me now, or they just make normal water better in general.Comment by GigglingdeathAs someone who mostly heals since Wrath this is so inaccurate that is laughable. The only thing easier than healing is tanking.
People only think healing and tanking are hard because those have a higher skill floor than dpsing. But the skill ceiling of healing and tanking is something that can be reached by anybody that decides to do either role for a few weeks.
DPS on the other hand has a very low skill floor but an absurdly high skill ceiling.Comment by xenolithixI dont get people defending these feasts. How was years old feast being pretty much mandatory for current content good design? It was weird to have your only optimal mana drink for dungeons come from an old event thats up only sometimes. On top of that it had to be the feast while the single portions of darkmoon food didnt work, meaning they clearly didnt want you to use them and just forgot to limit the feasts.

To me it seems like people are just complaining to complain again. Mana might actually be a thing for m+ now too.Comment by meharrypgood, did not want to farm fish every time DMF was up considering the new water changesComment by DaBinkhavent been changed yet, its still 10% and no level cap on beta.
I also noticed that in the pre patch now stacks to 500Comment by AdmThrawnSo after BETA for Azeroth we are really getting Nerflands? sigh...I'm just more and more indiferent. each day brings new nerfs.Comment by MilkiraHealing is already much more difficult than dps.Comment by SgtGrumblesThis is starting to feel almost spiteful. Never was an issue before and made old content relevant. I like DMF and keeping it relevant. It doesn't matter that it's "old".Comment by alosiboyThis is starting to feel almost spiteful.

"Sugar crusted feast will now follow the rules of normal food, since Wowhead graciously pointed out an overlooked element of this item."
