Holy Shock Damage is Too Low

Classes Paladin
1

From BFA up until 9.3, we’ve seen the damage of Holy Shock nerfed from 100% of spell power down to 68%… it’s gotten to the point that the spell is just not fun to use offensively. I know Holy Paladin damage got a bit silly this expansion, but that was due to Ashen Hallow, not due to any problem with the core spec! In fact, if anything, other healers should’ve had their damage buffed to keep up with Holy Paladins.

Please buff Holy Shock, and make it a fun damage ability to use again.

Other things that should be done:

  • Lower the mana cost on Crusder Strike (we should not go OOM just from swinging in melee)
  • Restore Avenging Wrath to its former glory
  • Bring back Exorcism/Denounce
  • Bring back Holy Wrath (for AoE damage)

I’m always down for holy paladin buffs, considering that once the expansion is over we’ll be saying goodbye to our covenant abilities and then we’ll really be screwed.
