They really need to make it multiple use for Ret Templar or that hero spec will never be played.

It felt very fun to use while it was available. Now I am sad it is gone.

It was a lot of fun to figure out the best way to stack 5 HP.

I thought they fixed it when it was usable for the full 12 seconds too because of this. The wording makes you think you would be able to use it more times.

No. You don’t fix the spec by breaking a finisher.

I mostly play ret and I still disagree. It makes no sense for something that massive to just be spammable. There are plenty of fixes they can do that don’t trivilaize the rest of the paladin kit just to spam one button for 24/30 seconds.

It was never spammable, you still need to get 5HP which takes 2-3 globals of generators, and in most cases you get CC’d so most times you’re lucky if you get more than 1 off.
Having it up for 12 seconds gave you max 2-3 presses of HoL, even with divine purpose talented

It really was a lot of fun while it lasted. It felt dynamic and changed your rotation making it more interesting. I know I’m pretty tired of the same builder-3hp FV spender spam that we’ve had for years now. I hope they revert the change and make hammer of light spammable again, but I would understand if they reduce the use duration to maybe 10 or 8 seconds. That would be reasonable.

Are you gonna gloat now that it’s fixed?

Almost like it worked this way ever since it got implemented in alpha, but somehow people thought it wasn’t bugged.

I don’t PvP.

Being happy this change was reverted is wild because even if you thought it was “unfun” you can just play a different build. It made ret feel viable

Exactly, in PvP Templar was useless compared to herald when it was single use, once it got changed to the multiple uses there was a nice diversity of paladins playing both hero specs. Now with the recent revert back to single use, everyone is just going to play Herald.
Templar was actually fun and viable in PVP with multiple uses

Then they need to fix ret some other way. Don’t hang onto a broken ability as the one way to fix a spec in one area of the game.

118

It made the ability broken. Make ret viable some other way. Balance the spec. Don’t break one button making the rest of the rotation moot.

It was not broken whatsoever. The only thing I would suggest is make it so that the proc HoL from the stacks is only 1 use. But when you press wake you should be able to use HoL for 12 seconds as long as you generate 5HP

How can you buff ret without making Herald any stronger than Templar? As it is with the recent changes Herald overpowers Templar tremendously. Giving Templar multiple uses made it actually right in line with Herald of suns damage

this is what convinced me it was a bug more than anything. I wanted it to be intended but it was definitely wishful thinking.

I think it could be fine if the free proc HoL was only 1 use, and they could even cut the window in half or limit it to 2 or 3 charges or SOMETHING, but hitting HoL more than once in a window felt absolutely amazing

No thanks.
