Hammer of Light bug?

Classes Paladin

I made a new thread about this. Please check it out.
Was in a skirmish and Templar HoL was hitting multiple times after wake.
Next game, it was only hitting once after pressing Wake. Either Templar is bugged, or Blizz reverted it back to single use after wake.
Please check out my post if you want Blizz to keep HoL 12 seconds after pressing wake for multiple uses.

Go to my post if you want Templar HoL fixed and kept as a Multiple use 12 sec CD

Well try pvp, with no haste and nothing but mast/vers. It is fun because you can attempt to max out 5hp for another devastating blow. And literally. It made no difference. Fury warriors were tanking 4-5 HOL. Now we are gimped to this, what? Oh yeah we have herald, templar is just dead.

It’s not dead. It has to be bugged. Something is causing it to keep breaking, cause even through all the ret changes coming they never mentioned anything about HoL

The wording of the talent has absolutely nothing stating it should be usable once. It transforms into it for 12s. It has to be bugged, otherwise they need to crank the damage on HoL by a significant margin for it to even be remotely competitive.

It incentivized solid gameplay and proper rotation during those 12s windows to maximize the damage you could pump out. Or winning the DP lottery.

Either way, it’s an L change if it was intentional.

Seems that it has been hotfixed, the hammer of light is no longer spammable. I now deal close to no damage in BGs lol, back to herald then.

Still don’t know what people thought was fun about it, and really don’t know why people thought it was intended after the entire alpha and beta of it working the way it currently does.

Felt very awkward to play around. Also felt like you were wasting crusade by spending so much time building during a very short burst window. On top of that it rendered Hammerfall irrelevant and Higher Calling redundant.

Well I went from being competitive in dmg to not. So nice bug fix I guess.

Absolutely not, take your garbage out of here

Glad Templar is back to how it’s always ment to be

Anyone who wanted h th is to be the ret damage “fix” kindly go away, wanting this spec breaking bug to stay is just peak PEAK ludicrous behaviour and th e reason why people don’t take the forums seriously in any capacity

There was no “solid gameplay” it’s just ignore fv and ignore eakenof ashes cause you don’t play it. Pvpers had maximum brain rot I stg

It was cool and felt powerful. In another world templar hero talent fully replaced fv with hammer of light, ret became a 5hp buildrr spendee that felt slow and hard hitting. Very thematic

Bugs aside, pressing a gigafinisher is fun. Even more so when final verdict does no damage literally

Reminded me od how much fun was 10.0.7 ptr old vanguard if justice making FV cost 5hp and increasing its damage by like 60%. That was so much fun

Let’s ask for ret buffs maybe

You don’t ignore Wake of Ashes? Lolwut? You literally have to PRESS WAKE OF ASHES to change the ability into Hammer of Light.

Also the gameplay of changing your spender from a 3hp to a 5hp spender and doing it in such a way to maximize your potential casts requires at least a small amount of thought.

Are you mad that you don’t get to press Final Verdict for some reason? Like I fail to understand your thought process here.

Also the “PvP brain rot” argument is so old. Get some new material.

Just like on my thread, you seem to think m+ is the only content in this game. Templar is not viable whatsoever in pvp and people are enjoying having a hard-hitting ability for once instead of Wet Noodle Verdict. Does it bother you that people were having fun?

Welp Blizz Blue post says it was hotfixed and “not go away as intended”. We need to keep posting so they revert the changes. Single use HoL is TRASH. WE WANT MULTIPLE USES OF HoL!!!

Damn… i specced into Divine Purpose, it was DAMN fun pressing Hammer of Light 3 times in a row, just to have my empyrean hammers enabling it again. I was competing for first place dps all the time, most of the times topping easily.

Now i have garbage damage again.

BTW this is extremely true. Even in its bugged state, you could win the lottery with Divine Purpose procs and dump 5 HoL’s in a row and it still wouldn’t kill most players. Even in its bugged state it still got out-damaged by herald by a lot. It’s utterly insane if they want to revert this bug and then keep it the way it is for pvp. It is absolute rubbish and tbh the ability doesn’t even hit that hard.

Now its “BAAAM… oh… look, Final Verdict…”
