I think the class tree is going to see some change in alpha/beta. The bonus while shielded doesn’t belong on what is arguably the only “holy” column of the four capstone paths, holy doesn’t want to shield others, let alone itself.
If Mind Blast doesn’t get replaced by holy fire, the pet path down the shadow side of the tree is hit with a barrier to use of being forced to take a mindblast talent and incorporate it in your rotation with the later talents for the pet.
In the end playing it in beta is going to be necessary to really see how it goes, but I have a few doubts.
The only way I won’t use it is if it heals bosses, so it being good doesn’t particularly matter to me. You could just… not take it and take one of the other talents instead? That’s the great thing about talent trees, there are choices.
Oh no. A single spell won’t make me main a class. Truly it is the worst spell ever created.
I bet you main Holy for Renew, the single coolest and most awesome spell in the game.
That might be the thought from one of those devs working on it.
No f’ing clue about the spec or how it works, but has some nostalgic memories from 13 years ago and builds the talent tree around personal happiness and something they saw back then.
Isn’t that just great.
What’s even funnier is the guy I’m responding to doesn’t even play priest. He did back in WotLK and that was it lmao. These are the folks that support this garbage talent.
It’s an annoying spell to use. There are some spells that, regardless of the intention and regardless of how good or bad they actually are numerically, they’re just too annoying and need to go and stay gone. Apparently for a lot of players that spell is Lightwell.
Except it is a poorly designed and clunky mechanic that needs to be fixed regardless if you have other options. The solution to a poor built mechanic shouldn’t be greatfulness that you might be able to skip it.
It has been universally disliked by those that have played the spec since it was introduced. Its not really a choice if one of them is just not fun to play.
This looks so amazing to me. I have looked through the shadow talent tree and i love that there is more emphasize on vampiric touch. I also like the new iteration of dark thoughts.
PI is still in the game, but that doesnt matter too much as i can see that you have added the legendary effect where the effect also applies to the caster.
Overall i’m very satisfied. Keep up the good work! (Hope the tree doesn’t change too much to be less fun just because people complain a lot. Remember that you can’t make everyone happy and that people like me who enjoy your work exists )
Only feedback I have is that it would be nice if you could make shadow’s aoe rotation more fun. Currently it would be nice if there was anyway to spread dots around, or a better alternative to mind sear. Maybe mind sear spreads dots? I just wish the spec was better in m+.
People are complaining about lightwell but the main issue with it back in the day was clicking on it. In practice this one might be similar to an aoe placed heal like the druid’s mushroom circle thing
It hasn’t been that way since WotLK. Folks that have played Holy for years know that Lightwell just doesn’t work. It’s been automated for years now when an option.
