Sacred Shield absorb effect is now dispellable, but the periodic effect is not.

Finally something that will keep our team mates alive during cc instead of just getting insta purged off.

Blinding Light has a 1.8 sec cast for Holy only. We think Holy's CC chains are too strong at the moment, but we don't think Ret or Prot need the nerf.

I hope this doesn't apply to the glyphed Blinding Light considering it already dr's with HoJ. I do agree it was to strong as the blind effect.

[Mirionx]

Thank god they nerfed the blind, it was so stupid.

Not that you could use it offensively that often but it was to good even as a defensive ability.

[Rylexcamel]

good changes..

[forteh]

yeah I can live with this, actually a pretty good way to balance blinding light

[Regent]

I just hope that isn't the last thing they are doing to ret. Its a start atleast.

I think they could've done a better job with blinding light, if they "think Holy's CC chains are too strong at the moment".

Ok, so we put a cast-time on Blinding Light effectively removing it's defensive use ensuring that it will only be used in CC chains.


"Holy paladins are the most dominant healer in high-end PvP."
Would love to know why he thinks that o:

I don't do arenas seriously so I do not know the current state of high-end PvP, but I seriously doubt Ghostcrawler knows and can make such a nonchalant statement.

I could care less about the blinding light change, its a dumb ability I wouldn't care if they removed it all together. The SS change is most definitely a step in the right direction, and yeah in top tier pvp druids and shamans are still ahead, problem is if you ask some 1800 rando about it they'll say its impossible for any class but paladin to heal through kfc damage.

I am actually more or less waiting to see if there are going to be any buffs for Rets in 5.2. If not I might aswell do something better with those 5 hours a week than sittting here screaming at a computer screen... Rets are already sub-par and with everyone getting buffed I can see them being unplayable and left up the top shelves...

They're increasing the cast time of repent now as well,

Repentance now has a cast time of 1.7 seconds (was 1.5 seconds).

With the base haste paladins have it's a 1.30 second cast already, so it will basically be 1.5 without haste cooldowns, a negligible change honestly.
