Pally stuff on the PTRs

[Chyler]

Mostly 264/277 gear with 3 Holy Power...and Templar Verdict crit for 1650. Niiiiice!




Yeah, yeah I know....still in beta...blah blah blah, but since this is on the PTR and that is getting close to release, I'm scared.

Ok, I'll be the one to ask.

Did you use it with 3 Holy Power you noob?

[Chyler]

of course, as I said. Played with it more and was getting 8K+ crits later, so dunno wtf this was. Played with prot too, with pretty nice 9k+ SoRs.

Spell casting and rotations, in general, seems too quick now (with DKs and Pallies) though. Anyone get that feeling?

I let my account lapse until cata. >.> Chris! Let me know how holy seems to be working out.

Sounds like you probably used it with 1 holy power even though you think it was three.

I've had some issues like that on the PTR where the Holy Power meter seems to lag behind and I end up hitting TV but don't see the Holy Power go away, then I'll Judge or something, still see it, get 1 Holy Power, and then hit TV thinking I still have 3 HP from before, so fucked up.

They said they're implementing changes where you can actually have a fourth HP in the queue and as long as you use your current HP in time you can get that 4th one within 5 or 6 seconds or whatever.

[Chyler]

yeah, that might have happened. Ret has an ability (Hand of Light) that allows you to use TV and not use any HP, then you can use it again. I might have spammed it 3 times of something.

I'll tell you this though, I like the Holy Power idea, but I really don't like the implementation. Like DKs, I hate where they positioned the UI for this. I'll definitely be using PowerAura to show stacks of my Holy Power, because as I found, Ret seems to stack HP very quickly, due to CS and autoattacks. It's almost too ridiculous to try and keep up with at times. For Prot, it was much easier/slower. Most likely due to how much haste we have now, and 0 Mastery gear.

Oh, and SoT (old SoV) stacks to five very quickly now. Maybe due to my amount of haste, but it almost satisfies my irritation of boss fights where we switch targets often. Took about half the time or less to get 5 stacks up (can't remember but I believe CS stacks it now too).
