it’s beyond stupid broken. it’s unfun. every paladin is forced to use it because its just that broken. i dont understand why im the only one taking about this. tis is by far the biggest misstep and out of bounds rune so far…

…why? Tanks don’t really take any real damage and aren’t even bothering with defensive talents/runes right now, so why on Earth would anyone other than a Holy Paladin be forced to take it?
I guess you missed the part where they have said the data mines may not even make it to live.

You are correct. It’s just going to be the next version of unkillable unfun heals, like Priest in phase 1.
But most of these kids won’t care until a youtube video instructs them to

Sacred Shield + sheathe will be strong, but it will also likely be purge spammable. Beacon is expensive and can also be purged.
Both beacon and sacred shield are more expensive than purge.

He’s talking about in PvP I presume. It’s very good for rets in PvP.
Oh meh… PvP is an afterthought

Good point.
Hell looking at the loot I didn’t see a epic gear for a priest at all…but a dope weapon for a mage…
Sacred shield is definitely very strong, but its hard to say till we see actual numbers
you have no idea what is about to happen. dont say i didnt warn you all. maybe when you can’t take anymore, you can come back and apologize to me. 800+ shields every 6 seconds and a 1.5s castable lay on hands.
in the words of Liam Neeson, “good luck”.
Yeah, flash of light is one of the lowest heal throughputs in the game, its far from a 1.5s lay on hands, even with a 50% crit chance, and 60% healing as a hot. Itll maybe heal 25% of your hp after the hot overall.
The game launched with half the servers as pvp, and the other half as pve or rp. It’s not an afterthought if you played since the beginning. It’s been in the game since the game existed.
I think it’s just the wrath datamined version, there ain’t no way they are letting it stay base 500 shield. Lol that would be insanely op.
lol flash of light heals for like 72 right now imagine it being a 1.5s lay on hands, a tick of penance heals for more than double of that.
at 40, one flash of light from sacred shield will heal 684 without any spellpower. that’s a 1.5s cast. add a 500 shield on top of that every 6 seconds. that literally means you can’t let a ret pally get off a single 1.5s cast in any 1v1 or you basically let him reset his health bar. and that’s just ret with no spellpower. the spellpower coefficient for sacred shield is insane, and flash of light isnt bad, so even with a little spellpower those number begin to skyrocket.
i dont understand how you dont see how INSANE THIS IS GOING TO BE.
but you better darn well come back and apologize to me when you do see.
your numbers are wrong
and 1v1 is serious business.
no they are not.
pvp is literally the focus of phase 2.
for u maybe, for the majority of wow its just a minigame.
plus every class has their counters, lets talk about warlocks, shadow priests and horde racials.
