Continuing the discussion from Midnight: Curse of Ula’tek PTR Development Notes:
I love everything about this, this looks FUN.
I play Lightsmith and I do so much work managing my cooldowns to cast Judgment and spam Shield of the Righteous as much as I can to contribute DPS. Then I look at my DPS and it’s usually 35k. It’s a lot of work for little return.
With the 20% buffs, I feel like I’m actually going to be rewarded for all that effort with increased DPS and mana return. And if I want to play a more laid-back healer, I can switch to Herald with Liberation and still deal increased damage thanks to the Spender buffs (What is it, a 90% buff from 12.0 at this point?) too. It’s a bit weird that these changes still end up nerfing Avenging Crusader’s healing, but eh.
AND it’s nice, because when they originally buffed Healer damage they left out Holy Paladin’s Judgment and Consecration, and now they’re getting love. Took a while, but it happened. This is good!
we still need a lot more healing buffs these changes dont really change much for us HPS wise, healer dps doesnt matter when you just strictly do 20% less healing than other healers

None of these buffs fix the problems Holy Paladin have.
“…intent of shrinking the performance gap between Light of Dawn and their other spenders…”
I hate Light of Dawn spam in Raids, Dungeon healing is so much funner, but these buffs to other spenders isn’t going to fix the problem. The way Raids work and the damage they output Light of Dawn will always be more optimal, since we know they are not going to change how Raids work anytime soon i would rather they focus on making our Raid healing more fun, give us a second AoE heal? I don’t know.
Huge chunk of our Talents are still garbage.
Disappointed there aren’t more changes. So many talents so woefully undertuned and they buffed a single target heal. The one thing we don’t need.

I finally tried out solo shuffle. It’s literally all disc priests.
My god man I feel like such a wimp. I’m literally running away. I really hope they make holy paladin at least formidable enough to were a disc priest will not charge at me.
Why did they nerf avenging crusaders healing? Like really? Would have been actually decent with the buffs staying….

in all of tww EF/WoG was our best spender, the issue is other specs have power crept up on our niche, and to be fair the buff to to it was a great start, give it an extra 20-30% push and they’d accomplish that goal. We have a lot of bad talents that need to be adressed, lots of useless kiss/curse talents, and forced to 1 of 3 very bad talents to get inflorence of the sunwell which is a core talent for holy paladin
