Is my UI bugging out or does SotR have a 13.5 sec max duration? What do you reckon is the idea behind it, especially since we have Holy Avenger as a possible talent? I noticed during Bloodlust+HA+AW that basically the rotation ends up “losing” SotR duration because of this cap.
Doesn’t this conflict with one of our talents? Maybe an oversight?
Yes, the duration is limited to 3x the base duration. This was introduced to prevent Paladins from using HA and then just stopping to think about SotR for the next minute or two. Our AM used to stack to over 60 seconds back when this wasn’t introduced.
The main purpose of HA is to gain extreme AoE burst and/or off-healing power for a short while. The downside is that we lack the weaker but more frequently available burst from Seraphim or the well spread coverage of Divine Purpose. Think of that talent row like this:
DP: always up, frequent procs, benefit is well spread over time
Sera: short burst, magic defense, short CD
HA: extreme burst damage and/or healing, very long CD
Hope that clears it up.
