Hey all,
Since the first round of changes to Retribution early on in alpha, we've been letting the spec settle into a steady-state, but have been very much keeping it in mind. Like many have suggested, the spec is almost all the way there, but is missing a little bit baseline.
Lâmina da Ira Lâmina da Ira's mechanic is becoming baseline, named
Arte da Guerra: Your auto attacks have a chance to reset the cooldown of
Lâmina da Justiça. Any many correctly pointed out, this is a sort of unpredictability that the spec needed in its baseline rotation.
Lâmina da Ira, the talent, will now increase the frequency of
Arte da Guerra resets and cause its proc to also increase the damage of the next
Lâmina da Justiça by 25%. Numbers are pending tuning, but the gameplay is there.
Desígnio DivinoDesígnio Divino's proc chance has been reduced to 15% (down from 20%), but it now also increases the damage and healing of that free Holy Power spender by 20%.
The entire value of this talent was in the free Holy Power proc, which is a huge swing on button presses and pacing, but which neither of its talent match-ups provide. This change reduces that difference slightly and gives
Desígnio Divino a little more nuance to its gameplay – now you may consider saving or waiting for that proc to use on a different Holy Power spender from usual.
Thanks for the patience and continued feedback.
