i still dont know why LoD needs to suck so bad always , on raid its ok because we heal around , but our aoe finisher its a joke on 5 man
plust Hpal feels like vanilla , spam holy shocks , FoL when procs or emergency heals , HL for slow massive heal that drains tons of mana and EF because LoD sucks and EF at least has a lolhot
I would love this! I think Herald should be more ranged/caster focused, and Lightsmith more melee-focused.
the idea behind re distribution is simple, spenders are not as strong relative to builders (and infused FoL/HL). HL is creating issues in raid due to this. Many talents are just dead fue to tuning (all the judgment ones, talents that give us passive HPS like Tyrs or Lighforce Blessing for maintenance healing), a lot of our talents are also nerfed or straight out loss HPS (Sacrifice of the Just is nerfed, Seraphic Barrier is loss in HPS, Seek Deliverance is antisynergistic). Buttons like judgment do nothing so its not pressed. Hero talents provide underwhelming HPS as well (Suns Avatar, Dawnligh, Hammer and Anvil). AM and Wings are underwhelming CDs.
Agree with liberation 100%
Developers’ notes: Our goals for these changes are to increase overall throughput and elevate Judgment’s role rotationally regardless of talent build.
Holy Shock healing increased by 10%. Does not apply to PvP combat.
Word of Glory healing increased by 20%. Does not apply to PvP combat.
Eternal Flame healing increased by 20%. Does not apply to PvP combat.
Light of Dawn healing increased by 20%. Does not apply to PvP combat.
Greater Judgment absorb increased by 250%. Does not apply to PvP combat.
thank the light, they were just waiting for us to restore the dawnwell!
are live this changes?
Next week
/10char
ahhh well , was raiding today and didnt noticed better numbers lol
I could see empyrean legacy being playable again with the buff to dawn light it may make the aoe healing comparable to old legacy. We have had 20 percent buffs to dawn light and it’s a cast at 30 percent effectiveness. So that’s 70 percent of an old dawn light proc. With damage reduction buff it may be viable to go again for a crit judgment build instead of a haste holy word span build. Need someone with less of a life than me crunch the math
Maybe. Will need to see.
I worry about buffing Greater Judgement cuz last time it was good it was nerfed hard because it was seen as too much “free damage reduction”.
Although perhaps seeing judgement being an actual heal has soften them to the idea.
I dont get why buff GJ, but not Truth Prevails and Veneration, given that these buffs are still nowhere close to bridge the current HPS gap. It’s good they are trying to buff judgement, but its still not enough to get us there.
Edit:: These buffs should be around 8% overall.
at least we’re getting buffs…
Won’t see a rework until at least half way through the expansion
I honestly dont want another rework.
The class feels the best it has in years.
It just needs certain talents to not suck.
Though Lightsmith probably does need a rework, but that’s only because they designed it badly.
we have so many dead talents that without a rework to them, they don’t make sense. you can buff the talents but that won’t make it make sense or make it feel cohesive like other specs/classess
I highly disagree. Some numbers are absolutely off (Holy light, spenders and specially some talents).
If they just buffed those talents the spec would be in the best place it has been since at least SL.
We dont need glimmer back, we dont need caster builds, we dont need huge talents reworks, we dont even need core rotation or spells changed anymore, some of them can be just reverted back to previous versions not even from long ago, and some nerfs post previous reworks reverted as well.
DF S2 rework wasn’t good because it was well designed, it was good because it was grossly overtuned. Same with TWW alpha, or Midnight’s Full power EL Hpal, just numerically strong.
Current Paladin is way better than DF design wise and improved upon TWW in areas that we have been asking for seasons, but its currently undertuned in some areas (judgment talents, sacrifice of the just, all passive healing,Tyrs, AM) .The only really badly designed talents are Rising Sunlight, Seraphic Barrier and Seeking Deliverance, most of them are just numerically weak and thats it.
design wise they have no idea where they want our healing to come from…. i’ve seen healing metes where our hps came from 20-25 different sources. The talents aren’t focused, they’re a giant hodge podge. Which is probably contributing to the difficulty of balancing.
Our healing just have to come from holy shock, beacons, judgement and spenders. Since they are buffing all that, again, its clear they have an idea where our healing should come from at the very least.
Do we have dead talents? Yes. Are they undertuned Yes. Did we need them reworked? Not really. The majority of them dont need changes other than numbers (I would make a case for Seraphic Barrier, Seek Deliverance, or Rising Sunlight) but since the HPS gap is being closed nextweek, I dont see them buffing nor reworking anything this season anymore for Hpal
yeah….i mean i called it. It’s clear they don’t want to invest time or resources into balancing Hpal. So simple buffs to everything in an attempt to make the healing equal with other classes was the easiest option.
