Either the Templar Hero Talent for Ret is bugged and keeps swapping back and forth from single use to 12 second usage, or Blizzard secretly reverted the Hero talent back to single use after pressing Wake of Ashes. I for one love having the multiple uses for 12 seconds as the tooltip is written, and am hoping this is just a bug.
PLEASE KEEP HAMMER OF LIGHT TEMPLAR RET HERO TALENT 12 SECONDS AFTER PRESSING WAKE FOR MULTIPLE USES. TY

The wording of the talent doesn’t make it seem like it should have one use. Ruination, for Diabolist Warlocks, states their NEXT Chaos Bolt for example. HoL just states that WoA TRANSFORMS into it for 12 SECONDS.
I fail to understand how it should be a one time use button. It incentivizes good play to maximize holy power generation during that 12s window.

I agree, and for some reason it keeps getting “hotfixed” with no recognition of it so makes me believe it is bugged.

I think allowing it to be usable for the full 12 seconds would genuinely offer a good gameplay counter to Herald. Both atm kind of play the “same” (in a loose sense). With Templar, you just press Execution Sentence (ES) + Wake of Ashes (WoA), then press Hammer of Light to dump holy power and continue about your rotation. With Herald, you press ES + WoA and then spend your free Divine Purpose (DP) procs on either spender, and then go about your rotation.
If you were able to consistently build to 5 HP for a mega spender during that window, I think that would be really interesting.

I agree, with HoL being a single use after Wake makes Herald vastly better than Templar. If it stays single use after wake no one will play Templar Ret.

I was having SO much fun spamming. I can’t believe they changed it, or is it bugged?
I’m so disappointed.

They seems have changed it back - using only once, lol what a joke.
IDK what’s wrong with pal that it deserve a nerf like this, makes me wonder if these game designers behind have actually played this game 
The situation is pal cannot outstand other dps/heal/tank even with this bug, and they decided to “fix” it, so frustrating.

As was I. It really fit so well into the Hero aspect of the spec, unlike HotS that just applies a dot… wowee so cool! WE WANT BIG DAM HAMMER

just made a post about this same thing, they should not have ruined this hero talent by making it only use the hammer of light once, what a waste

I know i posted on your thread as well. they need to change it back. Single use is not fun, and does fulfill the hero aspect of the spec.

im honestly saddened by this. it was great trying to pump hp into allowing 3 HoL casts. and with wowhead putting ret at the bottom of both m+ and raid tier dps, just holds us back more.
tooltip does say changes wake of ashes into hammer of light for 12 seconds, nothing about only 1 cast.

if we try hard enough we can get them to change it back! otherwise HotS will be BiS and no one will play Templar. Plain and simple.

If they did keep it, they would just be forced to nerf its damage to balance things, and if they watered it down too much it would just be like a slightly stronger TV. Initially I thought it was awesome but mostly because I was able to destroy everything. It’s fun being OP. It kind of felt bad having to build 5 hp so often and I was worried about having to be concerned about over capping HP due to auto swings and other HP generating stuff if they kept it.
i 100% agree, i hope they dont leave it like this, what a waste

on prot you could get like 4-5, and reduce its CD to 45 sec for eye of tyr, felt so good, it even lined up with reduced CD for divine toll

I play Ret and I don’t even care about damage
Trying my best to to rush to 5 Holy Power and spam HoL while was up was SOOO MUCH FUN
It really changed the rotation in a fun way
Hope they can make it balanced and put it back

yall gas light yourselves into thinking this was intentional cause yall dont want to worry about spec mechanics. literally this is why devs and classcords hard ignore the forums
