[WP] 15pt Grace Ability

[nailinthehead]

Leading the Prayer and Prayer of Devotion are the essence of Grace WP and here we should seek area to improve that tree. My proposal for 15 point ability is:

If you wield a great weapon for next 10 seconds PoD healing effect will also trigger on being hit by an enemy. Insta cast, 20 sec CD.

It will synergize with LtP and will help not only the group but also the WP itself. The being hit requirement means that healing won't trigger if one parry/block/absorb dmg so no defensive effects stacking will happen. Won't buff Sac WP because of great weapon requirement, won't buff solo and small scale because of ICD of PoD and because Sigmar's Shield is better for this. And one more important thing - maybe it would at last make PoD worth running.

I like that PoD suggestion as it entails effect triggering ON BEING HIT.

looks good but
It's... just improved version of Sigmar's Shield. double healing amounts and zero RF cost.
not sure PoD have ICD.

nice panic button. maybe little OP.

Well, it might look a little like SS but:
1. it would trigger on hit and on being hit
2. it would work for everyone in the group in the range of PoD, not only defensive target
3. it would have 20% chance to trigger

What grace WP misses is utility in WB play. IMHO we have to elevate the impact it has on the group, so it is worth to incorporate him in group composition and let him be in the melee range. It wouldn't be a brainless panic button as it would still require a lot of awarness not to get nuked to death. Also it would be some reason for tanks to guard WP in the SHTF situation.

And yes, PoD has ICD. You can check it on wiki. It has been introduced some time ago and basically stopped PoD from being used.
