This is how I see it. You’re supposed to use Hammer, and then spend the time until your next hammer trying to maximize the number of little hammers you can keep rolling. Anything’s possible, but I can’t see any world in which today’s version is the intended version of the ability.

Coming from a Prot pov, it is not working as intended. The healing is insane, I can pump out 15million in one window. Hammer of Light alone is 40%+ of my damage and Empyreans are another 15%+. Also, mine only costs 3 holy power even though the Light’s Guidance tooltip says 5, might be me missing something.
Seems like a bug. I was out doing the warmode weekly quest as prot yesterday and quickly decimated anyone who tried to gank me. It was pretty funny.
So you’re saying they don’t play their own game on the weekends?
Come on, use your brain. It’s the weekend; people at Blizzard generally aren’t going to be working on the weekend and the ones that are 100% aren’t allowed to post things without approval from the people who aren’t working on the weekends.

IDK if this is a bug or a patch on the move, it makes it MUCH more valuable and I think it is a very much needed change if it was intentional.
However…This is a move that requires holy power, and I am noticing that with the Resolute Defender and Righteous protector talents, spamming holy power with Hammer of Light move does NOT work and does not decrease any of the CD of the moves. I think this is something that really needs to be changed or fixed. Spamming this takes away holy power usage from SOTR and basically makes me not use it
its a bug
hol being useable all the time in a 12 second window bricks all the uptime related talents for hammer fall. this is a bug, do not gaslight yourself into thinking its not a bug.
using it once after wake and after 60 stacks is its intended way to play
no, it shouldnt work like that
it only feels better cause it does dammage, this shows ret needs a overal buff not a bug that bricks half the spec. some of you only care about damage and it shows
it shouldnt work like that, dont cope yourself into thinking that it should. it breaks the spec and makes almost every node in the hero tree pointless
lvladen is only saying things to get views cause 75% of you believe its intentional and not a bug
thank goodness its not intended and both prot nad ret needs buff so people can stop shilling bugs

It changed to be usable during the window of time mentioned on the original tooltip and for the same duration after the proc HoL. Looks like it was fixed, not that it is now bugged. Enjoy.
For the 200 or so abilities fuctioning (hopefully) as intended, there is no blue post about whether an ability is functioning as intended or not. However just about every week for the last 2 years some amount of design or tuning changes have happened. If Blizzard did an oopsy and decide to make a change, the change will come. Personally I like it the way it is because in pvp my MM does more damage than Ret without nerfing Ret, because Ret is in the melee deathball and also getting hurt and CCs from ranged specs. Leaving Ret to only having its pathetic 300k FV for a ST spender most of the time spent in combat, just isn’t fair to the spec in my opinion. RET CAN have nice things. It will be ok.
It’s a bug. There’s absolutely not way its intended to function the way it is right now. It makes the capstone skill completely redundant.

You mean Lights Deliverance? How does it make it redundant? Doesn’t it just make it easier/faster to get to 60 stacks?
I’m not entirely convinced either way. If it is a bug and is reverted I can live with it.

this isnt intended, stop spreading misinfo.
hol was clearly never ment to play like this because it bricks 3/4ths of the hero tree and makes FV irrelevant to the spec. if you actually play the spec at a competent level then youd never press wake of ashes again cause you’ll get 60 stacks before the window is up
this is very clearly a bug and no amount of cope will change it.

Look I have no issue with your position of it being a bug.
Please help me understand how it bricks 3/4 of the hero tree? I could be missing something, what is it?
shake the heavens becomes pointless cause your spamming hol and thus getting hammerfalls anyways, zealous vindication becomes extremely op and whom the bell tolls becomes useless, wrathful descent also becomes op due to the sheer amount of hammerfalls falling, highercalling is pointless cause your spamming hol, sancto becomes pointless cause you wont press wake to spawn the shield due to the over abundance of hol and as stated before if your good you wont see wake again thus brickign every wake talent we have, hammerfall is pointless cause your not using fv or ds to spawn more falling hammers your spamming hol, undisputed ruling makes judgement irrelevant cause you have perma debuff without using judgement, endlesswrath/santification also becomes stupid op but borderline useless cause every global is gonna be hol.
lights deliverance 60 stack turns from a fair capstone to a broken one cause your generating so much stacks you can effectively hol forever
so basically the entire tree becomes a mix of op and non existent from this bug and our main tree also gets harmed from it.
yall need to read tooltips, i shouldnt have to explain this to anyone

Spending HoLs feeds the capstone, not diminish it.
I wish every global used HoL lol. You know it costs 5 holy power right?
your acting like it doesnt take 2-3 globals to get to 5 hopo. do i really have to get a log to show how hol can be used practically forever? or are we gonna stop coping?
