Some tanks charge or leap, some pull things in, but Pally shield bounce interrupts to group mobs up. That would ruin the spec without some sort of gap closer or pull/grip moves. The answer therefore is less holy power, Or at least more spread out generation for prot.Īt least the silence removal was unintentional. And I -love- SotR off the GCD, so that shouldn't change. SotR is off the GCD (has its own gcd) so the spec is really really spammy, Where Ret sometimes ends up starved for HP, Prot has soo much it can't spend it all without giving the player carpal tunnel syndrome. Just hope Divine still generate HP for Ret and holy via Jugement and holy shock otherwise its not worth picking Comment by orionaegis7 on T14:18:46-05:00īooo! Comment by pawpurr on T14:20:58-05:00Īs much as it pains me to say this, nerfing HP generation for prot is probably the right call. If I'm correct about it, I expect them to revert this and make it generate Holy Power again. I understand where they are coming from but, as a long time Paladin player, I think this is going to feel awful to play with. Thank goodness the removal of the silence was unintentional. protection warrior works just fine without nearly 100% uptime on shieldblock so reducing shield uptime on paladin is probably a good plan Comment by robber235 on T14:14:11-05:00

We’re exploring ideas for how to reincorporate this in a future version of this ability. We want Shield of the Righteous to feel like it makes you strong, rather than an essential component of your baseline passive survivability.Īs for Divine Toll, part of what has made that ability fun and impactful is its flood of resources. This is part of an effort to constrain Shield of the Righteous uptime, and transfer some of protection paladins’ defensive power out of Shield of the Righteous and into other cooldowns and forms of mitigation. Is it the intended behavior that Avenger’s Shield and Divine Toll aren’t generating Holy Power?Īvenger’s Shield is intentionally no longer generating Holy Power.
