With the removal of Rapture? I couldn’t go into the PTR myself to test it, and while I think the current Rapture is really overpowered, the complete removal of it seems to be, on paper, a huge blow on Disc’s PVP.
Anyone was able to test the spec in PVP environments to come to a conclusion about this?
I haven’t tested it in a live match, but just my thoughts: removing Rapture is a huge blow to Disc’s ability to start an arena match off with a strong upper hand.
On the flipside, we are getting 3 more Penance bolts through the new Twinsight talent, which means it’s easier to stack up Weal and Woe for our shields to be 30% stronger. Also, our single-target healing profile is getting buffed through Inner Focus and the redesigned Divine Aegis.
Big picture, Disc’s throughput is being redistributed into a more “sustained healing/shielding” profile. So the highs will be less high, but we’ll probably have fewer “lows” as well.
