    Holy Nova!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Unbuffed: 574 Item Level

    Prayer of healing: 30 yard range 2.25 second cast, heals for 62k to 5 targets 350k every 2 seconds

    Holy Nova: 10 yard range, instant heals for 3-4k to 5 targets that is 40k at best every 2 seconds, not counting CDG

    350k with 30 yard range VS 40k with 10 yard range. How has this been like this so long?????

    Holy nova is there so people who liked it can't complain about it being removed, and it's a glyphs so people can't complain about having a useless spell.

    It's a flavor ability, not exactly in the game for actual healing.

    It's probably there to use like it was used before. To pull stuff out of stealth, lol.

    Holy Nova hasn't really been a useful spell at any point in the game, save for perhaps a few.

    I like how the best animation priest has is for an RP spell.... At the least trade Holy Novas animation for a spell we actually use. IMO make it a 1 min CD that does a good amount of AOE healing with a longer range.

    I guess your right, that would be another Halo. Which makes me think where Holy would be this tier without Halo, Devine star and cascade. I guess keep it as is just buff the hell out of it. Everyone keeps talking how they want to see Holy DPS, well make it as good as mind seer in dps and at least as good has Prayer of healing in healing considering it has a 10 yard range.

    I thought it was called "Holy Nova of Critter Bane" for a reason.

    They should probably make it usefull for something.

    Maybe buff the damage a little so it's at least better than Mindsear for disc/holy aoe dps :P
    Edit: Nightstorm beat me to it...

    Sadly, holy nova is only useful in Hearthstone now.

    Play a Holy Paladin in RBG's and try to help spin the flag, you'll miss Holy Nova.
    That being said, it really should be buffed lol. If it really does heal for like 3-4k, that's pitiful.

    It use to be the design goal to make holy nova good and the go to aoe heal for disc. But like all interesting things it got scraped and they removed it and then brought it back as a glpyh (like anyone would waste a glyph spot for it..) and they also removed its ability to hit stealth targets I believe.

    Blizzard and their disc hard on. Thats what disc needs, another CD. Someone needs to fire the priest rep and get one that is not bias.

    Bwuh? Bwah? But... It didn't happen? Disc was supposed to use Holy Nova instead of Prayer of Healing for AOE healing. Simple as that. Not another CD, just a different button for the 2 specs. And the change didn't go through. And. Wat. Brain hurts .

    That would have sucked unless the range was increased but it would have been nice to see holy nova used for something

    It's actually pretty handy in low-level pvp as that, and for it being a spammable, non-interruptable (albeit not too strong) heal.

    0.5s reduced GCD on Holy Nova. Still not awesome, but just for completeness in your scathing analysis. No need to over exaggerate it more than necessary. It's similar to an unbuffed Sanctuary, not that that means anything. It's still a ridiculous waste.
