Bugs
Below is a list of things that are suspected to be bugs or unintended behaviour.
Important bugs
- Prayer of Healing casts consuming Surge of Light when talented into Spiritwell and Ultimate Serenity reduces the cooldown of Holy Word: Serenity by 12 seconds, not 10.
- Divine Hymn sometimes ticks for 5-10x more than it should.
- Divine Image can be bugged so it only despawns if you cast an empowered Naaru, or move 100 yards away.
- Dazzling Lights will sometimes not proc correctly when casting Holy Word: Sanctify.
- Casting Flash Heal or Prayer of Healing and then mid-cast if you gain Surge of Light from Halo, when the cast completes you do not consume Surge of Light, but do get a mana discount.
- Halo will miss targets that are too close to you on the return from Divine Halos. See this github issue.
- The following spells do not trigger Echo of Light:
Likely a bug
- None currently.
Hopefully a bug
- Ultimate Serenity can't be talented into while any charges of Holy Word: Sanctify are on cooldown.
Inconsistencies
- Binding Heals also triggers Protective Light on yourself regardless of your Flash Heal target.
- 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.
- Light of the Naaru CDR increase is not reflected in any ability tooltips.
