Beta Build 12759 8/13/10

[Grehn|Skipjack]

New loading screens and Thrall get's a custom model. More to come.

I'm surprised they went and made new loading screens for Outland and Northrend. I find it humorous that Illidan got stripped of his loading screen in favor of Maiev and Akama. I'm sure Sabin will be happy that his mancrush features prominently on the Northrend screen.

HOTR has a complete rework

45% wpn dmg + 1100-1500 dmg to all within 0 yards, not sure how buggy the 0 yards part is, but meh its different, also adds holy power, that and cs share a 4.5 sec cd... holy shield is passive once we use inquis or shield slam, u can pretty much use a inquisition 3stack with a 1-2 stack shield slam but meh..

conviction no longer in ret tree


im super jealous of rets divine purpose talent, they have SOOO many holy power sources, 40% chance for

judge
exo
templars
ds
inquis
holy wrath


thats alot of holy power regen...

Ret got some seriously beasty stuff this build. Imp Judgement gets Judgement's range up to 30 yards with a deeper talent that gives a movement speed boost when used on targets further than 15 yards away. Every goddamn button has a chance to give HoPo.

I don't recall if this is new or not. Touched by the Light reads
Increases Stamina by 15%, increases spell hit by 6%, and increases your spell power by 60%.
Sheathed by the Light provides the same bonus and Spiritual Focus grants hit rating from Spirit at a 1:1 ratio.

[Marblehead]

Awesome. This build is just awesome.

Holy Power has a graphic. I'll get a picture in a second.

HotR displays a kind of Holy Nova animation when it's used in addition to the CS animation. It does not appear to CLANG! in this build.

It seems to be 10 yards.

[Marblehead]

Plate Specialization: Adds 5% stam on prot, str on ret, int on holy.

Mastery works now and provides 17% block.


Edit: WTF! Look at the librams!

Libram of Eternal Tower

51 str
77 stam
34 dodge
34 parry
1 red socket (no socket bonus yet)

This seems pretty accurate. HotR really confused me for a second because it was showing up in the Combat Log 3 times. What happens is you strike 1 target with 30% weapon damage and that hit triggers an aoe pulse of holy damage to everything around you.

Edit: Heh, you can mount up on a Flying Mount in Silvermoon(still a no-fly zone), but you can't fly and it doesn't seem to make you that much faster if at all.
Edit2: My heirlooms now have durability...

i was hoping the splash from hotr would apply the vindication debuff lol, and wtb long arm of the law

[Marblehead]

- HotR does double the damage of CS, so CS goes back in the spellbook for this build.
- AS cd down to 15sec. Damage lowered by around 25-30%.
- 3HoPo SotR (yes, it's Shield of the Righteous) does more damage than AS.
- Still many empty gcds in the rotation.
- Rebuke still in tier 4 of ret tree. Grrrrr.

Yeah, huh, that's... interesting.

HotR is a direct replacement for CS again, since CS seems to hit for about 800 physical, while HotR hits for 200 physical and 1300 holy. (For me.)

Also, AS is hitting for 4k instead of 8k, and a 3-HoPo ShoR is also hitting for 4k. My consecrate ticks are 180 or so. Holy Wrath is about 3.3k, doesn't apply vind anymore (as stated), and is still on a 15 second cooldown (no cooldown with my glyph). (-- Oh, that's interesting that it's a 15 second cooldown on AS now... I just saw the talent tweaked to -9 seconds. I guess that makes it base 24... ok. I thought talents to modify spec-specific abilities were getting phased out anyway.)

30 yard judgements makes me ridiculously happy. I feel bad that Holy lost 10 yards though, since now they can't judge from max healing range.

-- Also, Censure's ticking for like 800ish now, and SoV procs for 150.

-- SotR scales 20/60/120% from HoPo, so you get 1/2 the damage from 3 1-HoPos than 1 3-HoPo.

-- My engineering is gone. So is my fishing.

-- The hit rating mouseover on the character sheet actually shows your miss chance vs +0 through +3 mobs. That's handy. I have 1.64% melee miss against 84s (+3) and 9.54% spell miss. Ugh. That must not be taking TbtL into account.

- E4E is now a 40% chance of a 30% hitback, but only vs. magical attacks.

[Sabindeus]

Man I am just glad shit is actually functional in this build.

[d503]

Wrath of the Lightbringer now increases Judgement, Holy Wrath and Hammer of Wrath dmg and crit by 20%, instead of just Holy Wrath in previous builds.

Sacred Duty gives judgement a 100% chance to make your next SotR ( ) a critical hit.

Nice stuff in this build.

Tried ret out on some trash in Hyjal, and the rotation felt really lacking and slow...lots of waiting for CS to come back up in order to get more HoPo, so despite all the available HoPo, it still takes a bit to stack.

EDIT: Also, combat text not working in this build makes me a sad panda...

[Sober]

Guess they finally decided to turn the relic slot into stat sticks, oh well, I'm going to miss how they brought something a little different to your spec. Now it's just another name for gun/wand.

[steadypal]

new holy power under toon is nice, still shows on buffs,, umm didnt get a buff for sacred duty for the crit on shield slam? u sure it was 100%? not 50?
