First off, thank you for reading. When it comes to WP, there are a lot of Issues and Complaints. We can argue over the initial design, or what it's current flaws are, what was a patchwork and what was actually intended, but I wish to focus on ways to implement a true 3 Tree, or Build system. I am going to limit my Opinion into the changes or there reasoning to keep this mildly short. First, should be addressing the System's.
- 1, Dedicated Healer(Salvation): This build focus' entirely upon healing, and group support play-styles. This covers hammer and book and some 2h hybrid builds. Currently Considered the "strongest" or "meta".
2, Melee-healer Hybrid(Grace): A system that focus' on healing/supporting your group while engaged in Combat. Amount of DPS dependant upon style. Fun, doesn't really "work".
3, DPS(Wrath): Entirely built around doing damage, and self healing. The most often played 2h variation(as I perceive)
The changes are designed to; A, stay in line with changes to other classes, and B, start as minimal as possible to achieve the desired effect. With that in mind, I propose the following changes to WP;
- 1, Slotting a Book reduces armor by 30%.
2, Intimidating Repent Tactic reduces range of Detaunt to 50ft(This would only affect book priests)[EDIT: Apparently Range isn't possible. Just read Aza's latest post...]
3, Cleansing Power Tactic increases RF cost of Purify by 15(for 40 total RF)
4, Increase the RF gained from Charged Fury to 15 if wielding a 2h. Increase Returned Fury from Smite to 25 per target with 2h.
5, Increase Grace of Sigmar Tactic to 350 +80% of damage done.
6, Swap Pious Restoration with Divine Light
7, Increase Absence of Faith to 50%, but reduce duration to 6s and the CD to 15s
