SHoR 2 ranks

It's a very minor boost, most likely not high enough to make or break a boss fight, it only makes a boss die a few seconds faster, I don't see any harm in that.

If it would be a huge, gamebreaking bug, like the oh so OP retridins or cross-faction trading whilst being a zombie, it would have been fixed by now, like those things above were hotfixed within 24 hours.

But blizzard hasn't hotfixed it, why? Simply because it's not a bug that's worth hotfixing, if they would see it as an exploit/totally OP/totally gamebreaking, they would have fixed it ten times by now.

And now, back to bashing shields.

Using two ranks of ShoR is more significant in PvP than PvE. 12k crits in PvE are laughable, and we can do it twice after a 10 second slow. Where's my tankadin / death knight 2v2, and tankadin / DK / mage 3v3. Wtb more 8k ShoR on holy paladins during a stun.

But yeah the pve difference isn't that huge in terms of dps. It's obviously a huge tps difference since ShoR is our biggest threat move. You'd be doing shor/shor/hor/X where X is judgment, consecrate, or holy shield.

Hey, if you are finding a place to stuff another freakin attack in our rotation, go right ahead. Razz

Yeah they aren't gonna 'hot' fix this, it'll probably get rolled out on a normal patch day. I really don't see different skill ranks of the same skill not sharing a CD as an 'intended mechanic.'

Next Patch..fixed

Paladin: Repentance: Avenger’s Shield no longer breaks Repentance, but unfortunately, Seal of Vengeance and Corruption damage will break it again. This will be corrected in a future patch.

Paladin: Shield of Righteousness now properly shares a cooldown for both ranks.

Really? Your argument now is that it is really easy to find and thus it isn't a bug that is being exploited? And that a random retard off the street might think it is working as intended? Your argument has gone from bad to worse.

Blizzard has done about everything they can to make sure people know they don't like down-ranking. They have even made lower ranks of spells and abilities cost the same(or possibly more, I forget) for less effect. The only thing they haven't done is actually remove old ranks from your spellbook upon learning new ranks.

Why have a 6 second CD on it if you want it usable twice as often? What would you say if a warrior could double heroic strike you in a single swing by just pressing buttons for 2 different ranks of it?

I for one am sad that this creative use of game mechanics will be gone come the next patch.

I guess I'm not meant to be doing 2.5k dps as an 'OT' with no incoming damage to give mana back.

Ive seen some decent dps with the 969 rotation so i don't think were in a big pickle.

Prehaps off tanking our threat may not be able to keep 2nd anymore maybe. Atleast we wont be able to overaggro anymore probably Very Happy

I achieved 8KTps on sapphiron & Kelthuzad while spamming judgement (with libram of obstruction), shtor2, shotr1, consecration, X (depending on available, HotR/freesbee(with glyph)...

it's a nice improvement.
