Shockadin Completely Broken On Ptr

they seemed to have specifically nerfed HoJ this way

HoJ procs now always seem to proc after auto instead of seal, so you cannot get a auto>seal>hoj>seal proc from one swing, among other things

big rip

When have paladins been weak in PVP? They have been strong in PVP pretty much all SOD

2 weeks away, how much you bet it will

the lead game producer plays paladin, he welcomes this

just remove steed. Keep the power buffs :wink:

there is some kind of input delay with Reckoning that delays the attacks by like some milliseconds or half a second or something, the same with divine steed, that prevents you from twisting into it.

like you can’t seal twist open a reck bomb, and you can’t steed up to someone and open with a twist. I run ret, instant cast repentance is too good.

in retail it’s 15 sec CD with a 1.5 sec cast time, I’d totally choose the 1 min CD instant cast version

the same reasoning that 2h enhance can’t get a second attack

I think it’s hilarious they tried to make 2h enhance competitive last PTR and they do every roundabout weird goofy way to apply buffs rather than just choosing the most obvious, and requested, buffs to classes.

like a small minority of paladins actually wanted seal twisting (I mean there’s no denying it’s effective, and hitting twist crits is a dopamine hit) and most didn’t, but they literally could have just let divine storm and crusader strike proc seals lmao

Meh let it go live. Let’s see how people like a 100% crit chance chimera shot with no CD coming out of a healer spec lmao.

The best part of this all its massive ranged burst. So a paladin can bubble and just melt 4-5 players at range well being immune before bubble ends.

Wow your in his guild. Enthused - Character (blizzard.com)

I know of him cuz I’ve seen him in a few BGs. Oh. And I think he used to post on the forums a lot but no longer does.

Till someone realizes that for it to work you need full raid buffs and an specific set of items or you will fall short of crit chance to reliably not incur in CD. And then a wipe on raid = underperforming player.

yeah I joined on my alt because my friend asked if I wanted to join Lvladen’s guild lol

Pallies need more buffs tbh, rogues and shamans need fat nerfs

You guys don’t think this is a problem? Do you guys see all the complaints about Chimera shot? You think we should add a much stronger version of chimera shot to a healing spec?

Chimera shot
Instant cast
6 second cd
2k damage
30% crit chance

Holy shock
Instant cast
No CD
2k damage
100% crit chance
Also heals beacon target 2k
Healer spec

You can try to say not 100% crit but even 80% crit is broken. That means you can drop 5 of them back to back without hitting its 6 second cd. Even at 80% crit that means it doesn’t have a CD 80% of the time. This is a legit clown show. To all you defending a much stronger version of chimera shot coming into the game on a healing spec with the possibility of doing all this damage well bubbles lololol.

I feel like youre completely ignoring the fact that the ptr shockadin is only capable of doing this much because he has worldbuffs and consumes

Without ANY of those factors, shockadin is still meme tier

Just never die and you can continue to do this in PvP.

I already said before that Shockadins are pretty good. Still though… this version is not as good as original WoTLK version of them. That was a true Shockadin. You mix some ret and some holy but keep it mainly as a 2h wep wep and spam exor on them. Not by using the Holy shock which the name originally came from.

And it OoMs you super quick when you go full burst. A Reckoning pally is still far better IMHO. Not an OoM problem as both the Wrath version and the level 60 versions kinda need to focus on burning down one single target at a time, if it fails to kill or to drop to really low HP then you are in trouble. I have always only ever played it because it is very fun, not because it is vaible…trust me…it isnt.

I played preg pally in wrath, the “shockadin” dream wasnt there for me. Felt way more fun in PvP than standard ret

Besides, the only true shockadin we had was when we had a glyph that turned word of glory into a damage ability. Not gonna debate it, dont even try!!!
