So far noticing that Purge the Wicked and Shadow Covenant replace Shadow Word: Pain, and Power Word: Radiance, respectively, without stating otherwise.

To add on to what Isheria said, if you aren't in combat it also won't proc the damage portion from Shadowmend.


This is intended.

Also, not sure if really a bug, but you can Shining Force yourself and assuming there are no mobs near by, actually knock yourself back like a Disengage. Kinda hope it stays that way, it's really fun.


This is a bug and will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

A few more bugfixes that should be in for next build:
--Purge the Wicked spreading to targets that aren't in combat
--Focused Will not proccing on absorbs
--Dispel Magic and Mass Dispel occasionally becoming uncastable
--Resurrection not working at all (all healer specs)

Light's Wrath is intended to Atone, but will likely be tweaked to remain balanced on a large number of targets.

The trait Share in the Light (gives you 15% of PW:S when you PW:S an ally) is proccing the Shield Discpline talent (refund 1% mana when PW:S is consumed).

I'm assuming this is a bug because it's ridiculously easy for the self-shield to get consumed.


Thanks, this should be fixed next build.

Both of those should be fixed with the changes to Share in the Light next build; let us know if it continues to proc things that proc from PWS.

Is it intended to have multiple Power Word: shields on a player at the same time? i.e. I have PW:S from myself on me. and I have PW:s from a different disc priest on me.


That's intended.

Power Word: Radiance is favoring me when I use it on the Weak Lightspawn Training Dummies in the priest class hall.

Even if I directly position myself so that both lightspawn are closer to my target lightspawn than I am, I will still be one of the "closest targets" for PW:Radiance over them. It always heals two of the dummies and me, when my position should cause it to heal all 3 dummies. I've tried this with casting PW:R on all 3 training dummies and it ALWAYS heals me as one of the targets.

There is definitely something weird going on with the "closest targets" thing.


We changed PW:R to favor players over pets/guardians, so you'll see this if you try to test out its targeting with yourself and a bunch of dummies or NPCs. It should work as described if you test on players. Please let us know if you keep seeing a bug where it hits too many targets or are able to reproduce it.
