As the title suggest having this cost Holy Power is really terrible for Prot, if it was just a choice between losing damage and ressing someone it would be alright but ressing someone can litterly means you die especielly if its a healer.
Sad truth is if I’m at below 20% health ressing the healer would mean my death since he cannot save me from the next hit so I have to WoG myself and next time when I have three Holy Power it can easily be the same scenario. A CR just shouldt be that pricey, the cooldown and use of a gcd of it is more than enough of a price to pay.
Three Holy Power thats at least three globals and since we don’t generate HP with every global now days it can even be four globals.
If they remove the HoPo requirement they’d just make it 2s base cast time like it is for ret/holy. That’s debatably worse than 3 hopo. At least you can consume bastion of light stack to use it or CR when divine purpose procs. Realistically speaking you’re almost never gonna be the person to cr in raid as prot pala, it’d have to be very specific niche case(0druids 0dks, isolated 5 man with u in some realm without these 2 classes). So you’re only looking at cr-ing in m+ which is fine, as long as you have 5+ seconds on sotr left you’ll be fine sacrificing next wog for cr.
I think its fine. It forces you to think about it rather than just use it.
You can wait for a DP proc or bastion of light. Or pop a CD or bubble taunt. If you’re out of all of those options then ressing the healer is likely a hail mary too.
It doesnt force you to think though, sometimes you just can’t cast it and 3 holy power is alot of resources way more expensive than any other CR. I would be fine with them decreasing the cost aswell not absolutly needed with 0 but 3 is just too much.
Especielly when people complain about the res not coming fast enough. But on alot of tough fights Holy Power is kinda limited on trash is fine there you can always pool Holy Power without a problem but single target boss fights that hits like a truck can result in scenarios where you have 0 Holy Power when someone dies since you kinda need to go down to 0 from time to time to trigger Dusk. Thats at least 3 globals before you can res and if thats the healer dead well its gonna be spicey.
