The talent Light’s Hammer is now the only top row talent not tied to holy power.
Make it a holy power sink that replaces Shield of the Righteous.
Hammer the ground beneath you causing reverberating pulses that heal and deal holy power (85% spell power). This ability consumes one holy power per pulse. Running out of the zone or holy power cancels the next pulse.
pulses come in 5 second intervals, with no initial pulse on cast
is not a channel
10 yard range (radius)
soft-cap 5
That’d be interesting to make it a similiar version to frost dk’s breath. As long as it’s down it keeps eating HP, so you gotta keep trying to build HP to keep feeding it. Zone might have to be somewhat large though with how movement heavy M+ is.
It could honestly use anything. It’s been a troll pick from the very first day they put it in our talent tree. Its main purpose since its inception was to inform others that the paladin using it in question doesn’t understand their spec or class. Which is sad, because it’s an visually awesome looking ability that is made useless by under tuning.
Why?
Instead of consuming health you have to have good positioning/foresight/macro?
Yeah exactly. But atp it doesn’t play around HP generation so even if its heavily over-tuned it’s place in rotation will be awkward.
Because it’d add something to play around for holy pally, instead of the talent being dead as it is, and introduce an added level of HP management.
Lights Hammer
30 sec cd.
Uses 1HP per 4 seconds.
15yrd aoe range.
Pulses every 2.5 seconds, dealing 15% spell power as damage to all enemies, and 25% spellpower as healing to all allies in the zone.
Re-activating the ability will cancel it, likewise, having 0HP when it ticks to consume HP will cancel it.
Lets you manage HP a little more actively to increase your healing and damage, and at the very least makes it usable.
But it turns this into a HP spender, when the first row of talents all act to increase HP generation, so that’s also a big issue.
Yeah my thoughts exactly
I think it should consume one holy power for every pulse, for simplicity’s sake. But I do like re-activating, which is simpler than what I had in mind. Don’t worry about the numbers too much, no way we’re nailing that.
Exactly
I think three builders is worse, three builders would make the top row crowded. They weren’t balanced before and they definitely won’t be now IMO.
The idea came when I heard that there’d be INT 2H, and that if u used a 2H you wouldn’t have Shield of the Righteous as a dump. This is just a dump replacement at it’s core.
Maybe instead; less healing but it gives movement speed. Righteous doesn’t do much DPS it doesn’t even heal but it does have utility. But Crusader’s Might and Bestow Faith are adding HPS/DPS that you’d be missing out on so no healing is impossible.
