As always, thank you to MMO-Champion for listing the patch changes<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I never did talk about the last beta build (13221) so I’ll talk about those changes<\/a> here as well.<\/p>\n

13221<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

* Holy Radiance’s effectiveness now diminish on targets farther than x yards away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s cool. It was a little OP for someone 20 yards away to get the entire benefit of something that comes from us in a pulsing wave thing.<\/p>\n

* Divine Light base healing has been increased by 30%. From 8538-9512 to 11100-12366<\/p>\n

* Flash of Light base healing has been increased by 30%. From 5313-5961 to 6907-7750.<\/p>\n

* Holy Light base healing has been increased by 30%. From 3202-3567 to 4162-4637.<\/p>\n

* Holy Shock base healing has been increased by 30%. From 3033-3285 to 3943-4271.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Holy crapsicle. Buff time! Hooray! Maybe now I won’t feel like my heals are completely ineffective.<\/p>\n

* Lay on Hands no longer restores mana.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s okay! No worries! The new Glyph of Divinity means that anytime you cast Lay on Hands, you gain 10% of your maximum mana. That’s on a 7m cooldown with the new Lay on Hands major glyph.<\/p>\n

* Beacon of Light now lasts 5 min, up from 1 min.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, that’s handy. We can now remove the major glyph of Beacon of Light which reduced its mana cost to 0 and put in that snazzy new Lay on Hands glyph. :)<\/p>\n

* Mastery: Illuminated Healing now absorbs 10% of the amount healed, up from 8%. Now lasts 8 sec, up from 6 sec. Each point of mastery increases the absorb amount by an additional 1.25%, up from 1%.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Effing. Awesome. 8 second shield that’s a minimum of 10% of your heal and mastery givs you even more absorption? This is amazing.<\/p>\n

All around, 13221 was a huge buff to holy paladins.<\/p>\n

13241<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

* Holy Radiance\u00a0 20 yards range added to the tooltip.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good to know.<\/p>\n

* Light of Dawn now uses Holy Power instead of Mana. Now heals up to 5 targets. No longer has a cooldown – Consumes all Holy Power to send a wave of healing energy before you, healing up to 5 of the most injured targets in your party or raid within a 30 yard frontal cone for 1008.96 to 1124.15 per charge of Holy Power.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Okay, this is NOT a nerf, I repeat, this is NOT a nerf! Walks was telling me about this earlier tonight (guild stuff has me buried, so I haven’t tested anything yet). Here’s what he has to say:<\/p>\n

Walks: The new Light of Dawn is kind of amazing.<\/p>\n

Kurn: The lack of cooldown is really that good, eh? Is it a smart heal? (That would be asking too much, I imagine.)<\/p>\n

Walks: Yes to both. 3 stacks of HP will heal for about 8.5k non-crit. It is a smart heal, but the players must be in front of you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kurn: Wait, SERIOUSLY?! A directional, smart heal, that heals for 8.5k non-crit? SS or it didn’t happen!!!<\/p>\n

Walks: I will later! <3 Raid time. Oh, the LoD glyph lets it hit a sixth target.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So here we have an ability with a variable “cooldown”, that is a smart heal<\/strong>! It’s our version of Wild Growth and Circle of Healing! Complete with the glyph that will add another target to the heal. This is, to be blunt, awesome. And is finally a 31-point talent worthy of its spot. IMHO.<\/p>\n

* Blessed Life now cannot occur more than 8 seconds (up from 2 seconds).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PVP talent for sure.<\/p>\n

* Protector of the Innocent now affects heals on any target except yourself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Small nerf, but it makes sense. Why proc a heal on yourself after you’ve just healed yourself?<\/p>\n

Overall, holy paladins are looking AWESOME.<\/p>\n

But basically, you want to go out there and hit full raid groups of people with Light of Dawn while you still can. ;) My record is 26 people, not including myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
