Goal : Make Lolsmite Dps less terrible

[Xelaeno]

I'm not seeing Glyph of Smite in the patch notes, did they unpatch it or something? This is not good...

Don't trust patch notes. They forget to put in things that they assume people realise they already implemented.

I hope you are right.

On another note, possible way to improve Smite mana longevity is to swap Tier 4 Veiled Shadow with Tier 3 Improved Psychic Scream.

ignore everything else in that link, just look at upper shadow tree

you lose 2 points in Focused Will by taking 2 points in Veiled Shadow, this will grand you 3 minutes shadow fiend, it should help in longer fights, and I don't think it affects shadow priests much either.

Nice build there xel, this is what I came up with, is that about right?

oh and I noticed you squeezed in a lightwell fix there, I like it

[Kelesti]

Xel, you kinda forgot Holy Fire on IST. :P

[Worshaka]

I've said it before and i'll say it again... the only reason people want to dps as Holy is to somehow feel unique/special... there is 0 need for the tree to be dps viable... if you don't want to play shadow go roll another toon to dps with.

And don't mount an argument that smite dps would be fun... any dps toon where you press 1 button repeatedly is anything but fun, just ask Locks in TBC how fun it was.

A shadowpriest uses vampiric touch, sw: pain, devouring plague, mindblast, mindflay (and some sw: death), thats five (six) spells. mindflay is filler inbetween mindblast cooldowns and dots get refreshed.

A smitepriest uses smite, holy fire, sw: death, sw: pain and devouring plague, thats five spells, I hardly see it as onebutton spam. smite is filler inbetween holyfire cooldowns and dots get refreshed.

ops, fixed ;D

I've added something to my Wish List from Blizz:

*new* Glyph of Surging Light: While under the effects of Surge of Light, your Smite is removed from the Global Cooldown.

[Xelaeno]

oh this would be so sick, it will completely remove the "SoL reduces your dps" from our equation, best part is, it doesn't make flash heal sol op either.

keep the ideas coming, I'm in the process of making a complete compilation of smite improvement ideas on my blog

lol thanks. the lightwell i made was for fun, it's terribly op at this point, i still need to find a way to balance it out, perhaps reducing the amount of mana returned.

So the list of mine (disregarding your wartools):

[*]Healing Focus renamed to Holy Focus. This now also affects Penance (damage), Smite, and Holy Fire.[*]Blessed Recovery now increases your chance to hit with Penance (damage), Smite, Holy Fire, and Holy Nova (damage).[*]Searing Light has been folded into the relevant abilities.[*]*New Talent, stolen from Xel* Wrath of Light: Increases the critical strike damage bonus of your holy damage spells by 50/100%. [*]Improved Spirit Tap can now proc from Holy Fire critical strikes as well.[*]*New* Glyph of Surging Light: While under the effects of Surge of Light, your Smite is removed from the Global Cooldown.
