    [Mock Talent] Replacement for Lolwell

    Just following a trend.



    Great for pve, op for pvp. Want to save mana but need to go crazy in pve? Activate Redemption. Focused in pvp? Activate Redemption and you can't die. Side affect is just there to make it less op...but it still is.

    It can replace lolwell. Not that there's anything wrong with lolwell, but since it's under appreciated how about we replace it with a more useful talent?

    It's mana cost is to low, it should be 15% total mana to balance it a little more, but it's OP in PvP.

    Not sure how to go about balancing it in PvP other than giving it a ridiculous cooldown that makes it not usable in Arenas, but my take on it was that Spirit of Redemption should be an active ability: kill yourself, get 15 seconds of free heals. I also think it should refresh the cooldown on Guardian Spirit and Lightwell.

    And then of course you're dead.

    Not bad, but the arena QQ would be just too much. Honestly, I had first wished lightwell to be a large incoming AoE counter. Of course, DH now fits that roll.

    How about Holy Form? I know its been beaten to death, but I'm always envious of Spriests and their special graphic. =)

    Holy Form:
    (1) Assume "Holy Form" and become the embodiment of incorporeal light.
    (2) Increases healing done by 15% (adjust other talents to make this less OP if needed) **OR** Reduces the cost of your healing spells by X%.
    (3) Chance for attacks to miss/damage reduced by X%
    (4) Cannot cannot cast shadow spells with the exception of shadowfiend (or w/e else isn't OP).

    I know its too much to ask, but blizz could even make each race have a different graphic based on their belief system (ie- NE: Elune, Dwarf/Human: "The Light", Draenai: Naruu, Troll: Voodoo, Undead: hmm, this would be a challenge since their system is based on the shadow, BE: "Corrupted Light").

    But regardless, as nice as Lightwell is... and as much as I cast it while holy... and as much as everyone agrees with me that it doesn't suck, no one clicks it. Either the raid moves and is no longer near it, or people just forget its there, or the fight does not lend itself to folks being grouped up and stationary.

    Uhm you mean like... shadow?

    Sorry to be the nay-sayer here but it does seem quite OP for PvP, perhaps reduce the PvP duration to like 10 seconds and have it add a forbearance type effect.

    Well, it would obviously have to be a different graphic than "shadowform", I just don't know what would be the best graphic representation for an undead holy priest. Its a little counter intuitive from a lore/logic perspective. (Yes, its a game w/ orcs & blah blah blah.... but fireballs shoot fire, icebolts shoot ice... there is a framework in which the game exists.)

    I suppose they could just use the human graphic, but that would be a cop out.

    If you see someone do that in arena, you just run away until the effect ends since the person can't move. Problem solved.

    Why would you run away though? It can only cast heals. And if you want to run away to LoS him from his team they are not likely to follow if they are in any danger?

    I think the concept of lightwell is rather fitting for a priest, but the execution is just bad. So why not change it to something like:

    You know what is better than drinking a beer? Brewing your own beer. And then drinking it. And then... Drinking another beer. And then, punching somebody in the snout! That's what!

    Under 35% is maybe a bit too low and makes the talent really situational, maybe 40% would be a better coefficent. After all I know nobody who uses the talent under it's actual form. Sometimes I wonder how Blizz is working on talents. They just keep the same dumb stuff for years...

    Well I thought all of 10 seconds when coming up with the talent. Numbers could obviously be tweaked. Maybe not an instant heal at 35%, but a good hot at 50%. But something smart, not something players have to activly use to get healed.

    imo a holy form would be pritty sick.

    make us glow and shit and give us pally wings but bigger! better! hahaha then all shal bow down to us! ;D

    but i dunno make it increase healing done by 5% and reduces dmg taken by w/e shadow form has, and not being able to cast damaging spells while in it.

    Re: [Mock Talent] Replacement for Lolwell

    Ugh. Please not holyform again.

    Give us 5% more healing done and suddenly, our heals will be balanced against it. Net result is that we gained nothing and lost whatever the holyform penalized you for.

    I'd enjoy something like:

    Improved Spirit of Redemption:

    Gives the Priest a 50/100% chance to be redeemed by the Light and be miraculously returned to life with 50% health and 25% mana after the Spirit of Redemption effect ends. For 15 seconds after this redemption, you will not lose durability if you are struck down in combat again. The Light will not redeem those who are hostile (flagged), but will give them 20% increased healing while the priest remains as a Spirit. Cannot occur more than once every 30 minutes.

    Glyph: (Major) Increases the amount of health/mana you return with due to the Imp. Spirit of Redemption effect by 100%. (100% health, 50% mana)
    Glyph: (Minor) Decreases the cooldown on Imp. Spirit of Redemption by 10 minutes.

    I'd give Holy Priests something over disc priests, as they'd essentially have a more potent Reincarnation, which is why it's talented, however, it cannot be stopped, which if you're about to wipe, you'd waste it, which would balance it out compared to Ankh.

    EDIT: Rephrased the wont work for PvP thing. And it would only not proc in arena/bgs. World PvP, Instances, etc, it'd still work.
