This would make holy paladin extremely fun to play again and requires litteraly a simple little change.
That change would be at the 90 level talent choice.They simply need to make a change on Avenging crusader ,when it no longer replaces Sanctified wrath and thats it.
Now we get both Crusader and Wrath ,while Wrath will not last 25% longer since if you want Crusader you lose that +25% duration talent.
I think that besides that this change will make our healing in par with other healers and not OP at all,It will most importantly make gameplay more fun for holy paladins again.Alright ,some tweaking on the numbers would maybe be necessary but it is a very easy fix.
I agree that more needs to be done of course ,but for an easy fix its the only one I can think of.
So, just to confirm that I understand what you mean;
You want us to get Avenging Crusader as another cooldown seperate to normal wings(Avenging Wrath) if we were to choose it in our level 90 talent row?
In practice that would mean that holy paladins have both Avenging Wrath and Avenging Crusader if we want to.
They would have to change the animations a fair amount, so that we don’t just have two different cooldowns both with wings.
I agree that having Avenging Crusader as a baseline cooldown would feel great, but it wouldn’t necessarily solve our problems. Our healing outside of cooldowns would still be completely dependent on whether we crit with holy shock or not and giving us both normal wings + melee wings doesn’t change the fact that we have to expose ourselves in pvp in order to gain the full effect of our mastery, which is another awkward problem.
Holy Paladins don’t have an easy fix right now. But giving us another big CD which actually helps with AoE healing is a great start. Overall, your idea is good!
Yes ,you got this right,another cooldown would not be bad,remember we had a similar one where it did double the amout of heals for many years(don’t remember the name of it).I agree that we would need 2 different animations ,would otherwise be very confusing in PvP…I know the right thing is to fix mastery,and I hope they do so soon,since the ironic thing is that mastery can be seen as a debuff and not as a beneficial passive trait,plus on top of that we lack aoe heals while other healers now have strong single heals as well as extremely powerfull aoe ones.
Everything is agaist Holy Paladin,yet we still haven’t abandoned our class hoping for a change that will most importantly bring more fun gameplay and also if we are skilfull enough to compete with other healers.
Or mastery change. Every crusader strike and judgement heals you for % of damage. This way holy palafins will be stronger and not only rely on bubble when being bursted.
Imho, we need something to be done with mastery, auras and level 75 row.
It is already fun to play
Remember Divine Favor, Divine Plea, Concentration Aura + AM, Crusader Aura + AM, Sacred Shield, relics, seals and judges and buffs you could give out to everyone?
That paladin was fun. This now isn’t. I’m canceling my subscription after this month due to the fact that this game and the classes are now only an empty shell of what used to be.
I was never a huge fan of healing, but one thing I know for sure - as long as there’s a holy priest spec which is my favorite, I won’t switch to holy pala ever, because it’s boring single target spam. I just can’t find a single niche where this spec can provide anything unique and useful.
Oh how cold it feels
to have all these needs
an urge for something that just ain’t here! No more, oh, no more!
Glorious times
when people actually smiled
when you pressed that holy light
Fun times
when switching auras in time
made you the best player worldwide
Gone are those times! Gone are the times
when somebody actually cared, now we’re abandoned by the light! Oh won’t you let us shine once again, Activision Blizzard designers!
But oh so cold the urge feels
to have something that’s real
like talent trees and the good old tiers
now you’ll just find me drunken down by the pier
for I am no longer “here”
I missed the Tyr’s Deliverance (the legion artifact power for holy paladins) .I hope they replace holy prism with Tyr’s Deliverance. I can’t even remember when i use holy prism in any situation . I missed those days when you combined holy avenger + wings + Tyr’s Deliverance.
Defo a good idea. I miss those big holy lights. T.D.+divine favor was so much fun.
Also old sac aura…
Holy palafin used to be caster with big heals.
Fake casting alot but once you success to cast it was alot and not only during your avenging wrath.
