Prot Divine Toll sometimes not giving Holy Power

This only happened to me once, but I’m pretty sure that I used Divine Toll (Prot), hit some enemies, but it didn’t generate any Holy Power. Most the time it works fine, which is why I was surprised when I couldn’t hit my buttons afterwards. Has this happened to anyone else?

There is a bug with Divine Toll on Holy where unless you target a teammate directly to heal, it will cast, but not actually hit anything. So mouseover macros or mouseover casting won’t work, and neither will self-cast. If you manually target someone and use it, it will still work though. It’s possible that the same thing is happening with Prot – if you use it without targeting an enemy, or if the enemy is too far away and it casts anyway, it could go off without hitting anything and therefore not generate any holy power. I know as prot if you self-cast DT this does happen – no holy power generated.

Ah, yes. This might very well be what the issue was. I’ll add in a [harm] modifier as a quick fix. Thanks!

It happens a lot of time with me. Sometimes i gain only 1 HP from my main target, and that’s it, wasted CD, no HP…

For Protection, I’ve noticed that this often happens when I am doing big pulls (~10+ mobs). For example, here’s an excerpt from my combat log fighting a bunch of gnolls:

A bunch of Consecration ticks (indicating 15 enemies), followed by a Divine Toll, followed by a refresh of my Strength in Adversity.

Compare that with a different instance, when the SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS event for Divine Toll is (correctly) preceded by a SPELL_ENERGIZE one, granting me the Holy Power I expect:

I can confirm that I had this happen again even when using a [harm] modifier in the macro. Luckily it isn’t often.

Dude this but is annoying, if divine toll hits 5 or more people it doesn’t give any holy power instead of 5.

I used your data to report it in the Bug sub-forum.

This has been reported numerous times all throughout beta. For prot at least, DT sometimes hits 6 targets instead of 5 and does not generate HP in these instances. There are still like 40 something bugs for paladin that have existed for months… It was even higher than that for a long time. They have fixed most of the major ones but still, there’s a lot.

Also noticed this bug during the beta and reported it. Seems it hasn’t been fixed yet.

I reported it in game in both prepatch PTR and beta as well. Hopefully they’ll fix it eventually!

This still hasn’t been fixed. What happens for me is the first time I use it, it generates holy power. The 2nd time I use it, it doesn’t generate holy power. And then after a while I use it again and it generates holy power. So, there are multiple times in between using it where it doesn’t generate holy power and where it does. Admins please fix this bug!
