Given the maintenance happening now on the beta realms and information from MMO-Champion<\/a>, it appears that a new build (12942) is being released.<\/p>\n

With it, according to MMO-Champion, there are some changes that will affect Holy Paladins.<\/p>\n

* Holy Shock base healing has been reduced by 30%.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reducing the potency of what has become our go-to heal (strange DK tanks who heal themselves for 17k aside) is a real head-scratcher. I can’t wait to check out the numbers. My Holy Shock in an instance (with various buffs like kings, spellpower, etc) seems to hit for about 8.5k and crit for about 12.5k.<\/p>\n

* Beacon of Light now has a 60 yards radius, up from 40 yards. Now affects all heals instead of just Holy Light and Holy Shock.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Even Light of Dawn was working with Beacon of Light in the last build.<\/p>\n

[22:48:24.267] Madrana Light of Dawn Bear +0 (O: 5994)
\n[22:48:24.267] Madrana Light of Dawn Gullo +4038
\n[22:48:24.267] Madrana Light of Dawn Wastecoat +0 (O: 3904)
\n[22:48:25.090] Madrana Beacon of Light Shiramune +2140
\n[22:48:25.091] Madrana Beacon of Light Shiramune +2019
\n[22:48:25.091] Madrana Beacon of Light Shiramune +1952<\/p>\n

* Tower of Radiance no longer affects Holy Shock.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, that’s annoying. I guess they don’t want us to be able to gain Holy Power by 2 charges when we heal the beacon target with Holy Shock. That’s not game-breaking, but it’s discouraging, particularly when paired with the nerfing of Holy Shock’s healing.<\/p>\n

The only other change that really affects PVE healing is this:<\/p>\n

* Eternal Glory\u00a0 now has a 15\/30% chance to proc, down from 20\/40%.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Still no better use for those two talent points, if you ask me. Eternal Glory is amazing when it procs.<\/p>\n

Edited to add:<\/em><\/p>\n

Totally forgot to talk about this, sorry:<\/p>\n

Seal of Insight now restores 4% of the paladin’s base mana instead of his\/her maximum mana.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There goes our mana regen and basically any reason to stand in melee at all ever. Which is okay by me, since I didn’t make a ton of use of this, but this is definitely going to hurt.<\/p>\n

Kurn’s Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nerfbat to the shin. At least it wasn’t to the face. I’ll report back after my raid tonight and such after I’ve had a chance to see what the nerfage looks like in terms of real numbers.<\/p>\n

Oh, also, Holy T11 set bonuses:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • Item – Paladin T11 Holy 2P Bonus – Increases the critical strike chance of your Holy Light spell by 5%. \/ Instant<\/li>\n
  • Item – Paladin T11 Holy 4P Bonus – Whenever your Holy Radiance spell is active, you gain 1620 Spirit. \/ Instant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    The 2pc is kind of meh. The 4pc is perhaps a bit interesting. That is a whackload of Spirit, which, if you’ll remember, is a regen stat for us. Could it be to help us offset the cost of Holy Radiance? For a minute there I thought it was to help us benefit better from Innervate, but it’s been a while since Innervate was based on spirit!<\/p>\n

    More later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
