Why do people want it back the animation is literally just a light star (not even that it is just a X) on the target it is nothing special at all it just look like something hit it.
Most people i have talked to who say they want exorcism never even played when exorcism existed or just remember when it was OP, or that one prepatch when it was one shotting people as holy.
It got changed away from holy damage because it was a real pain to balance most of the time it was REAL BAD button to press.
It would be nice sure, but id rather they gave us an actual gapcloser. I mean we were the original class to get Wings as an animation but priest are the ones that get it integrated with movment?
Wings animation with a charge/leap makes perfect sense because you know… combining what a priest can do with what a warrior can do??
But then it falls into “everyone gets everything”… forgot what the word for it was.
But nearly all classes gets some form of immunity, root/snare breaker, CC breaker, selfhealing etc yet for some reason we are never to get a gapcloser? Many have all of these and tools to cause them aswell at the same time! Why?
We had that leap almost.
the leap would be turalyon’s might (unsure how to spell the name the lightforged human dude) (found the name)
The ability that was in the Legion Beta but got removed because of reasons.
Basically worked like heroic leap.
I remember it, also remember it was 3 buttons to activate and had a short distance or timer? Not all to far the feeling of using Void elfs racial in clunkiness.
Pal: Press to use - click where to use it - press to activate. Its warriors leap with an extra step.
Void: face the direction you want to go and press - wait for max distance to be achieved (takes 3 sec i think and travels as far as normal running) - press before timer runs out or its wasted… think its 4 sec?
Yhea nvm Void elf is far clunkier
The thing about it was that it was always going to be something extra with Divine steed.
Not excluding divine steed it would have been bonus not a downside to the movement we have now.
here is the tooltip btw:
Turalyon’s Might
30 yd range
30 sec cooldown
Flings a blade of holy light to the target location, dealing (40% of Attack power) Holy damage instantly and every 2 seconds to enemies within 8 yds for8 sec.
Re-activating the ability will cause the Paladin to charge to the blade, damaging enemies in the area for (100% of Attack power) Holy damage, ending the effect.
You are right in that it is basically a clunker version of heroic leap but it would have helped a lot on raid fight where you have to run out for mechanic and beck in again.
Ret had a magical Dr raid wide CD in Mop, which was devo aura. It’s not a matter of name, it’s a matter of giving ret a raid wide CD, which a support class is supposed to provide.
And that’s why I was happy to see them gone and sad when they’ve introduced them back in SL.
I want it back because it’s just a matter of balancing, ie paladin has always been a slow class, but being able to deal damages from 20 to 30 yards was a nice compensation. In Legion, having less ranged spells but a 30s movement CD was also fair. It’s only since bfa that I felt like ret either needed more ranged abilities or a 30s cd divine steed.
Divine steed = speed of light.
Yhea dont dissagree. Far better to have it then not at all. But think it was buggy in Legion alpha, they didnt bother to fix it cause paladins are always last in prio on those cases so they just dropped it to be forgotten.
Ironically Legion was also the expansion Rets were first in on some aspects… But only because of marketing as we had the single most iconic weapon in game. And thats about it.
Did this aura differ from the Aura prot and holy came with? I dont remember an aura with a CD.
Do you realize that exorcism is a casted ability? (oh wait people are looking at the instant cast ability when it was literally the worst button you could press in the game as retribution without glyhp that made it melee.)
It is just a matter of balancing you say they tried for what 5expansions or so to do that and failed every single one.
I much much rather have more movement than getting exorcism back.
This was just a 3 minutes raid wide cd, as they replaced auras with seals in mop. The spell was only available to all specs during mop then was being removed.
I don’t want casted abilities on melee dps.
Boj replaced exorcism and I’m not sure that turning our reseting builder to melee only is a great idea…
Well, Gl with pvp community…
I Said with glyph of exorcist animation not the default one :
Then you do not want exorcism back.
And BoJ gives 2 holy power has a 12yard range and is physical.
The only time exorcism was worth it was if you had art of war procs in that version.
Otherwise it was a cast timed ability (or was so bad that you would not press it without that buff)
The pvp community played the old paladin fine without actually using exorcism as a ranged ability 90% of the time.
Was instant in both mop and wod.
Our mastery does not scale on physical damages.
Yeah, pre mop exo sucked hard. Nobody would want this back.
Look at 0:26 in that video to see how little you actually see of that animation.
i never saw anyone use that at the time it was in the game ever.
I never was even able to sell it myself as a scribe.
It is a little better then the default look.
Both times it was the last thing you would want to press in your arsenal you would only press it if you had no other button you could press for damage.
You know that the fact that it was holy damage was a BIG factor of why they NEVER was able to balance that spell right?
It was either way too strong or it was just poop.
Exorcism was replaced with blade of justice.
Exorcism should be brought back when/if they eventually decide to make a holy damage caster spec.
Fingers crossed.
Ret mastery is not good, it’s what i like to call the versatility mastery, which other classes also have, this happens when blizzard is out of ideas and can’t decide/design a good mastery that actually feels nice to use.
In my opinion, divine purpose should be made into the ret mastery. Casting free holy power spenders is awesome, especially in a row.

Sure but it kinda feels bad having boj press but not being able to use it while being too far => Wasted reset.
I think it’s time for ret to shine, for once since wod.
Ehm… fairly sure auras were not replaced in mop. Seals and auras are 2 very diffrent things. What did this 3 min raid wide CD do that all speccs had?
Look at paladin stances bar, which were auras.
3 minutes CD, 20% magic Dr for the entire raid party and also prevented silence effects.
Bit unsure about this. All ive found is

Dont remember Ret ever having access to this spell.
Do remember Holy using this spell but CD far to long and duration far to short for its CD.
Rets had this spell in MoP and it was awesome.
