Mara's Balm is doing too much

Okay, how long does it take to nerf Mara's and DK? DK is now overpowered, but DK + mara's = mega damage + mega survivability + imba ults with resource regen. It's not fun at all. Each BG 50% of the players are DK and 70% of the players in Mara's

By the way, I don't understand why all the healing in this game doesn't scale with magic/stamina/health? It would solve a lot of problems.

Honestly, I know other classes have access to Mara’s as well, but after the nerf I tried other sets and even with the nerf of over 30% heal, it’s still the best set to pair with Rallying on a Templar. Templars are already struggling hard (mag or stam) and to imagine another nerf to one of the best sets for Templar would be pretty crushing. Being able to use extended ritual when Mara’s is still on CD is huge for survival. I still hit like a wet noodle, but at least against equally skilled opponents we can decide to walk away rather than me always choosing a respawn location. I can kill squishies or people less skilled in PvP still alright, but my kills are certainly harder fought for than Warden, NB, and DK’s… if there’s another nerf to Mara’s templars need a buff somewhere offensively. 3 nerfs (jabs, PotL, BL) was way too much, and with the Living Dark nerf, Mara’s is pretty well needed.

That's an issue with the combat team. They nerf classes and make them dependent on sets. When those sets change, those weak classes suffer. This is something that the devs cannot seem to grasp. For now, for the sake of gameplay for everyone, Mara's needs to become an option, not a necessity set. Once that happens, maybe we'll get buffs for weaker classes.

Mara's Balm: Increased the cooldown of this set's cleanse to 30 seconds, up from 15.

It took 4+ nerfs to finally bring this set into a semblance of balance. At least it finally happened.
