Continuing the discussion from Undermine(d) Development Notes:

PRIEST

• Discipline
  • Void Summoner has been redesigned – Now reduces the cooldown of Shadowfiend, Mindbender, or Voidwraith by 50%.
  • Priests may now slowly move during Ultimate Penitence and can control their landing upon finishing the channel.
  • Evangelism healing increased by 40%.
  • Pain and Suffering now increases the duration of Shadow Word: Pain by 2 seconds per talent point invested.
  • Shadow Word: Pain damage increased by 15%.
  • Divine Procession now prioritizes the lowest duration Atonement on nearby allies.
  • Expiation no longer increases the damage of Shadow Word: Death and Mind Blast. Instead, it now deals damage equal to 200% of the duration consumed from Shadow Word: Pain.
  • Developers’ notes: Penance has many stacking modifiers that affect its power, which has made it feel weak when the player doesn’t have all these modifiers active. We would like Penance to still feel good on its own, so we’re reducing the effectiveness of Power of the Dark Side and Harsh Discipline while also increasing the base damage and healing of Penance.
  • Harsh Discipline now only increases the number of Penance bolts by 1 per talent point invested (was up to 2). The buff will continue to stack up to 2 times but will now represent charges instead of increasing the number of bolts per stack.
  • Power of the Dark Side increases the damage and healing of Penance by 30% (was 50%).
  • The cooldown of Penance is now reduced by Haste.
  • Penance damage and healing increased by 50%.
• Holy
  • Lightweaver now increases the healing of Heal and Prayer of Healing by 18% (was 25%).
  • Trail of Light now replicates 25% of healing done to the previous target (was 35%).
  • Dispersing Light now replicates 5% of healing done to 4 injured allies (was 6%).
  • Prayer of Healing healing increased by 20%.
  • Eternal Sanctity now extends the duration of Apotheosis by 1 second (was 1.5 seconds).
• Shadow
  • Fixed an issue causing Void Bolts from the Liberation of Undermine 2-set bonus to not trigger Shadowy Apparitions.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Liberation of Undermine 2-set bonus to not trigger from casting various harmful spells.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Liberation of Undermine 2-set bonus to interrupt channels and not fire a Void Bolt when spell queuing channels.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Liberation of Undermine 4-set bonus to apply Power Infusion after Void Bolt is cast, missing out on its damage bonus.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Liberation of Undermine 4-set bonus to not trigger when casting Dark Ascension or Void Eruption.

They made some big buffs to Disc, especially with the Harsh Discipline and Penance change. The Void Summoner talent is definitely back in play again…

Holy change’s are kind of mixed. Lightweaver got its overall hps effectiveness dropped by 28% which makes it not as desirable a pick anymore if you’re not using it with PoH. It’s not any more powerful of an hps gain then most of the end tree talents now.

The nerfs to Dispersing and Trail of Lights doesn’t make any sense because Flash Heal and Heal are baseline doing less healing without our 4-piece bonus.

The nerf to Eternal Sanctity hits us a bit hard because we can extend it to a 30-32s duration instead of 35-40s. They should have just nerfed Light in the Darkness instead.

PoH getting a +20% buff makes it our strongest filler spell which cements it as the dominate button to mash in raid.
