Hammer of Light bug?

No way you are arguing over this. Templar is ine key compared to zero. Templar HoL can be setup. There is no comparison

What do you mean by… setup?

Also, idk what this means.

if you can only use it 5-7 times per minute and it costs 5 holy power, then it wouldn’t need to be nerfed by much, if at all. It wasn’t even OP in pvp, herald was still better.

The fact that it upkeeps shake the heavens is not a reason to nerf it to match FV… Hero talents is supposed to be a buff/ dps increase for every spec in the game… Hero trees are supposed to flat boost our dps not match our old rotations dps…

Hammer of light is affected by judgement, dawn, divine purpose, reckoning. Throwing a HoL on cd on a pack without judgement on them is a big difference. This is more evident in pvp combat whrere a lame HoL can deal 400k damsge compared to a giga HoL crit for 1.4M.

Allows for skill expression and proper set up. Unlike herald with radiant glory that just goes.

Doesn’t all that(*sans DP) affect FV and DS when used through DP?
Because with Templar you get a HoL, with Herald you get a DP(and HoWs).

We are talking a comparison between herald gsmeplay thst literally doesnt change a thing in the rotation, the spec plays by itself with radisnt glory applying dots and beams every 30seconds compared to HoL which allows for more setup and planning.

Well you’re comparing the wrong things here.

Templar casts Wake and gets HoL. Templar also gets HoL when the stacks reach 60.
Herald casts Wake and gets DP. Herald also gets high powered HoW’s, 2 ppm.

When you cast stuff, you need to make sure you have Judgment, Dawn, etc, whether you’re casting HoL or DP, it’s the same setup you’re walking towards for both.

Then tune down the damage, drastically, i dont care about the dmg, it was genuinely engaging. I played ret or pally even for the first time since I got it on my earthen and I was like “boring? This is fun as hell, this should be nerfed im doing like 2mil hol crits” And now I know why ret pallies notoriously have a boring rotation.

In a 1 minute window you’d cast FV at most twice depending on luck with DP. LD built so fast from being able to spam HoL you just always had it available.

The tooltip wording is correct. Ya’ll were just trying to interpret it in a incorrect way.

Templar isn’t bad in pvp. Stop with this nonsense.

With the bug, HoL and Empyrean Hammer accounted for nearly 50% of a Ret paladins damage. Blizzards own words was that Hero talents were supposed to make up about 20-25% of a specs damage. And so far they have been consistent with that. Hero specs that were below that threshold have been buffed and those above have been nerfed.

Templar were just bordering on being overpowered before the bug. With HoL and Empyrean Hammers making up almost exactly 25% of a Ret paladins damage.


The reason why Templar is underperforming in PvP is because most of its power comes from Shake the Heavens, not HoL. A short range-high maintenance effect. That kind of damage profile does not work in PvP.

If Templar sux in PvP, just give HoL and Empyrean Hammers a large damage modifier to make up for the lack of uptime Templar needs to function.

basically your bad then, okay

no, if people can use their brains and not spread misinfo about a bug and how the “bug” made ret feel “better” then ill go away. until then. im staying right here.

if people are gonna be rude to me first, and try to ruin the spec cause they wnat ret to be more easy mode then it already is, then im going to be abrasive. yall expecting me to be nice when ive recieved nothing but rudeness after being nice is top tier delusion. so kindly, screw off

what a insightful post deckar, last time i checked you rerolled to another spec away from paladin. so why r you still here trying to make paladin worse

You’re like abrasive on your default setting man.

You should read “How to win friends and influence People” by Carnegie Dale.

I dislike that book because it makes the whole concept of “making friends” very disingenuous and insincere and also is kind of a “know how” to manipulate people…

But jeez that would at least soften your tone.

You make even the things I agree with you on sound bad sometimes.

Everyone is prone to getting upset but damn your buttons seems easy to press.

Worse can be subjective/opinion. You think less HoL casts is better. I disagree, I’m allowed to not have the same opinion as you. If Ret was more powerful and a bit more durable for pvp, Id play it. Maybe ill play it after 11.5 launches. Time will tell.

I am having the same issue as a prot paladin. I used to be able to use Eye of Tyr and then spam the hammer almost 9 TIMES. Now I use it once and its is gone either for 1 minute or until I get a proc to use it. Kind of sad since it made it so I can efficiently solo tank large groups and dps it down. I lost over 200Kdps.

ya coming from you thats a take

And remaining an @$$. No one was spreading mis-information. They were very respectful and giving their honest opinion on why they thought it could be intended. That’s a distinct difference your arrogant @$$ failed to realize.

I call bull$#!+ on that, I’ve read the responses and no one, NO ONE was rude to you first. People have gone out of their way trying to be nice to you and explaining their stances, but you being an absolute @$$ have a habit of spitting in their faces for their efforts.

YOU screw off!! No one, NO ONE wants you here. You’re arrogant, condescending and abrasive and any value of advice you MIGHT have is overlooked by your p!$$-poor attitude toward others. And I’ll be on your @$$ everytime you insult others on this board. Get used to me (and others) calling you out.

Let’s go…

Because Deckarcain is a good guy who’s respectful with insight that’s welcomed here, and I for one always look forward to hearing his thoughts.

And speaking of people I respect on this board…

QFT.
