Bryndoll 227 is the best weapon for me. Except ofc. LK25hc and legendary weapons.
Do You agree this this simulation? Currently i`m suing SE as dps weapon and Bryndoll 277 as offspec tank weapon.

Rawr also suggest to put in yellow slot +20 str gem when socet bonus is +4 str. Do You agree with that? Currently I`m using in those situations +crit/str gems.

I have a question concerning the Glyph of Holy Light. The tooltip says "Your Holy Light grants 10% of its heal amount...".

Parsing our Logs on Dreamwalker there are incredible high numbers healed by the Glyph, which I cannot explain. Example from the last WoL, at this point i had 26 stacks, wings, trinket, 2pt10 and wild magic:

[22:04:00.234] Littlegirlie Heiliges Licht Treant +*0* (O: 163921)
[22:04:00.812] Littlegirlie Glyphe 'Heiliges Licht' Aylane +0 (O: 118212)

Normally 10% of 164k schould be something around 16k? Which point do I miss?

Sry for my englisch, im not a native speaker.

From a Holy Paladin point of view, these changes seem like they got less attention from Blizzard than other classes.
Guardian of Ancient Kings could be interesting if it works for holy like a healing version of a dk's gargoyle, especially if they are smart heals. And I would agree that it's more of a cooldown than a pet. But I doubt it will end up having a 30second duration when it goes live and it will turn out to be more of a "Divine Hymn" for Paladins.

I can see why Blizzard waited this long to announce the paladin changes, it's as if they didnt do any work on them at all and just threw something together this morning


...


It will be hard for FoL to REMAIN the expensive fast heal when it's currently the most mana effective healing spell in the game


If this odd wording means that FoL will be the only spell that is transfered to the beacon target than paladins will basiclaly remain in the same position they are now. Except instead of spamming HL we will be spamming FoL, and instead of stacking Int we will be stacking SP. It will be TBC all over again...
Basically we will probablly be healing like the Premontion holy paladins do know

Critical Healing Effect...

Really?

By far the most useless mastery bonus i've seen any class/spec receive..

This mastery bonus also supports my theory of FoL spamming. If FoL continues to gain crit from sacred shield then critical healing effect wouldn't be as useless as it is now. In fact this is the only explanation I can think of for giving us a mastery bonus that currently seems so useless.

In the first case though it's an intentional choice of the caster to do that. Even still I believe the mechanics of this will work as wait till a tick pops and THEN reset the duration back to full. I believe the same mechanic is present in the current Corruption.

There are also 2 parts to consider when talking about a mechanic working similar. In the case of Everlasting affliction it would be a) the spells that trigger the effect and b) the effect. In this case by blizzard saying instead of:

Your Corruption and Unstable Affliction spells gain an additional 5% of your bonus spell damage, and your Drain Life, Drain Soul, Shadow Bolt, and Haunt spells have a 100% chance to reset the duration of your Corruption spell on the target.

Your Fel Flame has 100% chance to reset the duration of your Immolate and Unstable Affliction on the target.

The similarity is the resetting of the duration, the difference is it's a different spell that triggers it and it resets different spells than what EA does.

Yes, it may not be extra intuitive. I believe the whole point of this change is to make your DPS rotation easier to manage. With the inability to clip ticks because the mechanic will reset the duration after the next tick, then if you know a spell would drop off you simple reapply via recasting or rolling with talent mechanic or Fel Flame. The basis of this is the dps won't change and the only limiting factor is the mana cost of the spell.

I'm not sure where this hypothesize is coming from. And anyone who seriously thought about it wold immediately realize that would never be the case, especially after the comparison to EA.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I knew that immolate was a bread and butter of destro and UA for affliction, only thinking about it I realized that demo must use it in rotations too so that the one spell is useful to all specs. From this is just gather that demo and destro will also get increase to it's dmg or something and the only reason affliction would use it if they have to move a lot or in pvp.

Well we still don't know the dmg on Fel Flame. At this moment I'm kind of thinking of it like Ice Lance for the mage. The dmg alone is negligible, it's spammable and it's not until you add the frozen mechnic into it that the spell becomes dangerous.

If Fel Flame works on the same premise. Then it would also have negligible dmg, be spammable, but the special affect instead would be that it resets immolate and UA. If this is the case then it wouldn't share a cool down.

This makes even more sense if we think about the reason for the spell. To be able to use on highly mobile situations.

In PvP when a warlock has to constantly run then can only keep their instant cast dots rolling while moving. And it's a drop to DPS on their target because it's dangerous to stop and cast Haunt or UA or Immolate with the enemy right on their tail. Fel Flame would alleviate this by allowing you to keep rolling that 3rd dot on your targets giving you more dmg potential.

The same would be true in PvE, when you are constantly running from dmg areas or spawning mobs. You would keep dots rolling by popping them with Fel Flame.
