Still don't wanna use WoG :/ But at least I can spec Divinity now and not feel like I'm not getting the best threat out of my build

Boo. I liked the choice

[Klaudandus]

Without having another HoPow generator, the cost was too step for WoG over HS(Inq/ShoR) -- I really wasn't expecting that change to be honest.

But I'm really glad they listened regarding Tier1 for prot paladins. Now it does feel like a choice.

[Orthien]

I think its a good change, still not quite there yet with making me want WoG but at least now only threat suffers for using it.
Still waiting on a proc based HoPo generator then I will be more than happy with the trees and will probibly use WoG.

[Thornir]

It's funny, DKs are whining all over that Runic Empowerment makes their rotation too random, and randomness and tanking don't go together.

We're on the other side, saying that we need more randomness in our rotation.

But I'm really glad they listened regarding Tier1 for prot paladins. Now it does feel like a choice.

I disagree. It's 2 healing talents or a dps (threat?) talent. That still isn't a (good) choice. While the seal boost is great for us, it's for ret to fill. And the other 2 are for holy fillers.

Where's the tank based choice?

[d503]

Tanking is more than just survival. SotP is the tank choice, and the flavor/choice becomes which of the two healing talents you end up taking to get to tier 2.

[Sonic]

ok so SotP is a threat choice. Great. Don't need 2 healing choices though.

Agreed. I actually liked HoJ there. It was an interesting CC/Utility choice.

[steadypal]

actually after thinking about it, they kinda forced us to waste 5 talent points, LOL and cant divinity be just 2/2 to fill it up to make going to the next tree easier lol... and still think change guarded by the light to produce a bubble at all times its used instead of only overheal would be ideal...

[Warsadin]

The plain and simple fact that we can get out of this is that they do want us to use WoG. We can plainly see that. We have all suggested, at least it should cause Holy Shield. Boom, we have holy shield attached to it now.

Personally it's ok as is with this change, but really, it should be probably a bit higher on the % chance not to use the Holy Power. As a player I say that. As a developer, I can see where the tradeoff is necessary.

Is this sarcasm? It still heals for very little, only works if you have Holy Power, and is only used if you're not particularly concerned about Holy Shield falling off in a little while because you're probably about to die anyway.

Even if it never actually cost any Holy Power, the requirement to have 3 HP for the full heal is too cumbersome.

The only way i thin EG could work is making it proc "from something & works on the next WoG you cast" so that the free one use can be planned
The "chance on casting me to turn me free" is

P.s:spec prot,equip a 2h,enjoy throwing templar verdicts every 4 seconds with no setup (120%CSXwrath of the LightbringerXcrusade)
