Comparison
As you can essentially just take one tree or the other, below is a rough comparison.
Midnight Expansion
Updates for Midnight are in progress. Expect details to be changing rapidly as more things are tested.
Archon
Halo
Healing Component
- Will heal pets and guardians, they do not count as part of the cap
- Heals the first 6 targets for the full tooltip amount
- Scales down from the 7th target onwards using a "square-root" scaling technique
Note: Prior to 9.1.5 the old scaling Halo used "basically" rounded the amount of healing down to the equivalent of 6 targets.
Perfected Form
- Uses a whitelist that is stored against the Apotheosis spell. This list primarily just contains Holy Priest specific spells and won't amplify healing done by trinkets, enchants or cantrip items.
Shock Pulse
- Triggers each time a Halo touches an enemy, increasing the stacks up to 5 and extending the duration back to 5 seconds.
Incessant Screams
- When you cast Psychic Scream, an image of yourself appears at that location casting Psychic Scream at that location 4 seconds later.
Energy Compression
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Sustained Potency
- The buff gained when storing Apotheosis from Halo casts is Sustained Potency
- This buff has a 2 minute duration and a maximum of 6 stacks (1 second per stack).
- Bonus Apotheosis time stored will be added to your next Apotheosis cast or Answered Prayers proc.
- Going into then out of combat will not reset the 20-second duration pause timer.
Power Surge
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet. Timeline for your Halos (presuming Divine Halo):
- Each Halo that is created triggers Holy Word: Sanctify cooldown reduction when talented into Voice of Harmony.
Energy Conservation
- Effectively just generates another Halo cast.
Resonant Energy
- Resonant Energy is the buff.
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet. Timeline for your Halos (presuming Divine Halo):
- 0.0 sec - 1 stack as first Halo goes out.
- 5.0 sec - 2 stacks as first Halo comes in.
- 5.0 sec - 3 stacks as second Halo goes out.
- 10.0 sec - 4 stacks as second Halo comes in.
- 10.0 sec - 5 stacks as third Halo goes out.
- 15.0 sec - 5 stacks refreshed as third Halo comes in.
- 23.0 sec - Resonant Energy expires.
Manifested Power
- Surge of Light is triggered when a Halo goes out. Timeline for Surge of Light procs:
Empowered Surges
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Energy Cycle
- When talented into Spiritwell, Prayer of Healing can also consume Surge of Light and thus also generate CDR as described.
- When talented into Ultimate Serenity, the CDR is applied to Holy Word: Serenity.
- See Serendipity for more details on amounts with buffs and talents.
Focused Outburst
- Cast time reduction is applied multiplicatively with other reductions.
- Mana cost reduction is applied multiplicatively with other reductions.
Word of Supremacy
- Power Word: Fortitude grants you 5% additional stamina. Word of Supremacy causes Power Word: Fortitude to instead give just you 10% additional stamina, and everyone else the base 5%.
Heightened Alteration
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Realized Potential
- The increase in Surge of Light has not been confirmed, but presumably applies additively.
Spiritwell
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Divine Halo
- Works as described... almost - it will frequently not heal or damage targets that are too close to you, besides that there is nothing else of note yet.
Oracle
Guiding Light
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Preventive Measures
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Assured Safety
- Only applies Power Word: Shield to the first target of your manually-casted Prayer of Mending.
- Does not apply to Prayer of Mending from other sources like Twinsight.
Prophet's Will
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Desperate Measures
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Preemptive Care
- As this increases the duration of Renew, and Renew healing is based on the duration, this increases the overall healing renew does.
- Likely a bug: Lasting Words has it's own modifier in Preemptive Care increasing the duration on these renews by only 25%.
Divine Feathers
- Works as described (additively), nothing else of note yet.
Save the Day
- Save the Day - buff
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Prompt Prognosis
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Waste No Time
- CDR is applied additively before haste.
Foreseen Circumstances
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Piety
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Words of the Wise
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Prophet's Insight
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
Unfolding Vision
- Prayer of Mending expiring and then moving due to this talent does not cause it to heal the original player.
Twinsight
- Works as described, nothing else of note yet.
