Could we have a spell that works like Crusader Strike but from the range in order to allow players to choose if they want to play as a
Holy pally melee = crusader strike
Holy pally range = new spell with the same crusader strike cd, holy power generation, dmg (maybe a little less)
or both.
I think we used to have a DPS range spell in TBC/WoLK but I cannot remember its name. Maybe it could come back with the Crusader Strike attributes.
Also, would be nice to have back Beacon of the Lightbringer as part of our mastery (please revamp our mastery to something more FUN and completely new)
We already have our Auras working at 40yards in Shadowlands so the only reason to ONLY keep playing in melee is dub our mastery and crusader strike (main DPS source, Holly Shock CD reduction, HP generation).
I think we would nice to have an alternative like MW have in order to choose between being a melee or range healer.
What do you think guys?
PS: Could you bring our Seals back? They were a big part of our identity.
Agree totally with this post… PLEASE READ IT DEVS. To play at range we need more holy power generators. Perhaps include judgement as a generator and talent into it? Also generate a point not only healing the beaconed tank but also the second beacon
i really dont mind our currently play style, at the moment it rewards being able to play in melee but you arnt gimped that much if you have to pop out to ranged for a bit, i spent a lot of time at ranged on vexiona mythic and hive mind mythic and didnt really notice a drop in my healing output.
as for hp generation you can flash of light to generate it on the alpha so i wouldn’t worry about that.
i dont feel like melee is a big problem right now, would prefer them to make wog aoe again or give us some reliable consistent aoe healing that doesn’t require glimmer
However, to max your DPS you still have to stand close to spamm your consecration… maybe if both spells get a ranged option ^_° wouldnt mind if it would be like Mages Flamestrike.
Alexie… Its not the popping into range for a bit that we are looking for, its the choice of 90% of the time playing at range as a paladin used to do as well as a choice if you want to 90% of the time play in melee. You shouldn’t be forced to do one or the other to be optimum as a paladin healer
Without meaning to be rude there are 4 other healing spec that play that way already. I understand wanting to have options but a lot of the time it feels like players just want paladins to be just like every other healer
Sorry mate i dont have time to build another class (i have a family and a job), i’ve played this same toon since vanilla when it was a ranged healer. I dont feel that i should change my playstyle to one i dont enjoy just because Blizz has a “fantasy roll” ego for a holy paladin and feels it should be hitting things (I also dont mean to be rude)
Also unlike yourself i’m saying that Blizz should keep the melee healing ability (if thats your bag), what i am asking for is an equally powerful ranged choice (# Monk). This can be easily done with minimum tweaks from the devs.
Paladins were ranged healers its not as if we are asking them to change to something they weren’t
