我很不想蹚我很不想蹚这趟浑水，不过Anathalt的理由很充分这趟浑水，不过Anathalt的理由很充分。

我可以告诉你一些片段但不是整体情况：
-开始是最愚蠢的做法：减少了治疗加成，结果这个法术完全无用了。

-然后他们提高了法力消耗，不过太阳井的经验揭示这样的改动没有用。

-他们认为加入一个施法时间不会达到NERF法术的目的，又把这个法术最好玩的部分移除了。

-他们考虑让法术回到小队作用范围，但是他们不喜欢这样在raid里的效果。

-他们尝试了奥术冲击的作用机制，这太复杂而且一点也不好玩。

-我相信他们还尝试了包括递减效果在内的其他人们建议的机制，不过他们认为这些都太复杂而不可取。

我想做出的唯一改变是针对法力消耗（还包括奥术弹幕的作用机制）。

纠缠在法力问题上似乎是一个很有趣的选择。

哦，这个法术的治疗效果非常好但是花费很多的法力，这样迫使玩家在使用它前考虑再三。

不，实际上这根本不会发生。

相反玩家只会不停使用这个法术同时向我们抱怨他们的职业存在法力问题。

我不认为玩家会在使用这个法术前犹豫--不管如何他们只会使用它并且挥霍掉他们的法力（这样的改变只会让这个法术因为消耗巨大成为一个笑话，以至于优秀的牧师玩家把它从动作条上移除了）如果你想让玩家让他们的施法循环变得多样化，加入CD时间是最简单的做法。

而建立和奥术冲击那样的法术增益机制则完全不同。

奥术冲击的设计非常完美，因为这个法术为你的下一个奥系法术建立起增益的过程就像建立连击点数一样。

我们也许会向着这个方向设计牧师，你通过施法若干次治疗之环来堆积一个很强的增益，最后以另一个群体治疗法术来完成治疗过程。

基于这点将会是一个完全不同的设计。

很奇怪的是在没有引入智能系统前COH显得非常平衡。

我们对T BC末期这个法术发挥的作用感到担心，这也是为什么我们要在WLK测试阶段加入CD时间。

但是玩家和开发者认为这样会抹杀这个法术的乐趣，我们听取他们的意见后决定把CD时间移除了。

现在看来这是一个错误的决定，我们当时真应该握紧大棒把CD时间发射升空，这样牧师们就不会觉得他们在WLK正式开始后被NERF了。

I hesitate to wade back into these waters, but Anathalt's reasoning here is pretty good:
Q u o t e:
I can give you some pieces here, but not the full picture:
-It starts with the trivial nerf: just reduce the healing output. T hey tried that, they found the button felt too weak.
-T hey looked at increasing the mana cost, but their experience with mana in the Sunwell made them concerned this nerf wouldn't last.
-T hey concluded that adding a cast time would both not sufficiently nerf the spell and would remove one of the core fun things about the spell.
-T hey looked at returning CoH to the party heal mechanic, but they didn't like the effect that had on raid positioning.
-T hey tried the arcane blast mechanic, but that was complicated and not very fun to play.
-I would presume they tried some variant on the diminishing returns mechanics people have proposed, and decided against those because they were too complicated.
T he only correction I would make is to mana cost (which includes a Barrage style implementation). From a designer POV, messing around with mana cost seems like it would be an interesting decision. Oh, this spell heals a lot but is very expensive so the player will think twice before casting it. In reality though that doesn't often happen. Instead players tend to use the powerful spells anyway and then struggle to manage their mana and perhaps complain that we didn't design their class to have enough mana regen. I don't think players would have really hesitated to push the button a third or fourth time -- they would have done it anyway and drained their mana. (T he alternative is the spell is sooo expensive that it just becomes a joke and good priests take it off their bar.)
When you want players to diversify their rotations, cooldowns are usually the simplest change that guarantees the behavior you want. Setting up buffs, like Arcane Blast, is another.
T he design works okay for Arcane Blast because really that spell itself is just a buff working towards your next Arcane spell, kind of like building up combo points. We probably could have developed the priest in that direction, where you hit Circle of Healing a few times to build up a big buff stack and then finish off the heal with another group spell. T hat is just a pretty different design at that point.
T here is also something of a myth that CoH was a perfectly balanced spell until the smart component. We were quite worried about what it was doing at the end of BC, which is why one of the very first changes we made to priests during LK development was to add the cooldown. We listened to players (and developers) who were concerned the cooldown would kill what was fun about the spell, so we did take it off (with some hesitation). But it turns out that was the
wrong move and we probably should have stuck to our guns and shipped with the cooldown so priests didn't feel nerfed after LK went live.。
