Bugs
Below is a list of things that are suspected to be bugs or unintended behaviour.
Important bugs
- Answered Prayers Apotheosis proc does not reduce the mana cost of Holy Word: Salvation.
- Divine Star frequently will not have a returning star, even if standing still or on flat ground.
- Empyreal Blaze being queued after a Holy Fire cast will consume one of the 3 buff stacks for no benefit.
- Lightwell partial tick is not increased by Desperate Times.
Likely a bug
- Divine Image's Light Eruption behaves as though Holy Nova is the damage-only version from Legion. It doesn't trigger from, nor do any healing.
- Divine Star frequently only heals targets once, happening more often if they are near the 24-yard distance. Happens even when you and the target are stationary.
- Rhapsody buff status/stacks aren't shown properly in combatlog.
- Shadowfiend can't have the following glyphs applied to it, stating "That glyph is invalid for your Holy specialization":
Hopefully a bug
- Empowered Renew healing is increased by Versatility. This effectively has it double-dipping Versatility.
- Divine Word: Sanctuary scales tick number with haste, but not tick size - creating haste breakpoints.
- Surge of Light can't be procced by:
Inconsistencies
- Binding Heals also triggers Protective Light on yourself regardless of your Flash Heal target.
- Empowered Renew triggers mastery.
- Arguably this should be intended, but the initial heal of renew itself doesn't trigger mastery anymore.
- Light of the Naaru CDR increase is not reflected in any ability tooltips.
- Lightwell does not interact with any other spell or talent in our toolkit. Nothing for Holy Words, Renew, Mastery.
- The following spells/talents don't interact with our Mastery. This makes sense given the wording of the spell.
- Prayers of the Virtuous doesn't increase the Prayer of Mending stacks left by Holy Word: Salvation.
- Spirit of Redemption prevents casting of the following:
- Evoker's Blessing of the Bronze which affects a movement enhancing ability for all classes, affects Leap of Faith for Priest.
- Evoker's Time Spiral which affects a movement enhancing ability for all classes, affects Leap of Faith for Priest.
- The following spells appear in the Priest spellbook tab, instead of the Holy tab:
