Holy Bulwark -- Broken?

Hello paladin friends,

So I just ran a key on my prot paladin and I decided to give lightsmith a shot.

Part way through the run I noticed that I wasn’t seeing Holy Bulwark on my healing meter. So, at the end of the run I checked the overall for the run and Holy Bulwark wasn’t to be found – hmmmm that’s odd.

So, I uploaded the log for the dungeon run and the samething…No Holy Bulwark!

Is Holy Bulwark broken? Is it being contributed to some other spell? (really annoying that the new built in damage meter seems to be doing that with some spells) It used to be one of my better healing spells overall before prepatch and now it’s just gone.

Also, why am I not seeing the healing from Hammer and Anvil?

Hammer and Anvil only heals for Holy Lightsmith. It does damage for Protection Lightsmith. As for Holy Bulwark, I can’t tell you.

Bulwark is working both on my pally for both holy and prot.

I’m thinking Holy Bulwark absorb just doesn’t show on Blizz Healing meters, rather than the spell not functioning. I can go to the dummies in Dorn and watch my HP absorb shield tick up and hover the buff to see the value change.

Sacrosanct Crusade for Ret (an absorb shield on Wake of Ashes) isn’t showing in the healing meters either, when it used to on a Details Healing Meter.


Pretty sure its just Blizz not properly replacing the missing functionality 1-to-1 of Details.

Yeah I remember it being a bunch of small heals so you didn’t notice it much when you used it but then looking at it on the meters or logs and it being respectable.

Holy bulwark doesn’t even show up in logs though?
