How would this trinket do to wear it now? I'm talking patchwork, and the boss where you only get 3 seconds of healing.

It seems like it would scale well, but maybe I'm wrong?

Well from everything I'm reading in the comments on WoWHead, it seems that it still works well. I guess you activate it and for the next 30 seconds you give a bubble shield from your heals that last 7 seconds and absorb 15% of the heal. It might have good synergy with Beacon of Light, especially on Patchwerk you could heal both tanks at once and bubble them both at once, which might be nice considering they are nerfing Sacred Shield in 3.1

I don't know enough about the current high-end healing trinkets to effectively compare them, but it seems it would work.

Also as a side-note, for those who will be crawling Ulduar, I guess the new legendary is a healer mace with an equip effect that does the exact same thing as this trinket, except it's an equip effect.

Not just that, but your holy light glyph "splash" would also give a very small bubble, right?

I'm very intrigued by this trinket, to say the least.

I wonder if I could solo Viscidus for that trinket. It wasn't all that complicated of a fight, but required a lot of frost damage and nature resist..

Can I just kill him with neither?

You can't kill him without it, we went to raid that place with a few people as a joke in our off time and if you do not shatter him with frost he will sit at 1 hp forever. You'll need at least someone with a frost wand or something to follow you in (and it takes a LOT of frost hits to freeze him, bring snacks if you're 2 manning it).

This is coming from a tankadin.

I just ran with a Discipline Priest. It was a pug group and he was healing. (H. UK)

While it wasn't a bad run, it certainly wasn't a great run. He kept putting some kind of bubble on me. I think it's a Disc. talent or something... I kept going /oom.

Warrior rage mechanics and Paladin mana mechanics really need those heals. (I know nothing about DK or Bear tanks)

If you use it - let your tank know in advance what you plan on doing. The 1 melee and I died on one pull because I went /oom. If I had known what he was doing - I would have entered the fight with more mana or taken more damage... (As a paly tank - If i'm low on mana - I'll just let them crit me by sitting down....)


So - in short - It looks good, but give your tank a heads up...

Well it seems in the next patch a tankadin is going to be able to have Divine Plea up almost constantly now. With that alone I don't think Priest or anyone else's bubbles will be a big problem anymore. That's 100% mana regeneration every minute from Divine Plea alone.

Ah, I guess that's probably the reason why I have been getting so many requests for FROST OIL.

With that thing any class that has a melee weapon skill high enough to actually hit the guy can get the frost effect.

Of course this trinket would suck for trash mobs. You need to get hit as a warrior to gain rage(or as a druid) and need to block/dodge/parry to gain mana as a pally. Having a bubble up lets you do none of those.

If a mob however is hitting you for 10001 damage and the bubble takes 10000 damage, that one damage can still be block, dodged, or parried, and will still gain you rage if you're a warrior/druid.(at least, that's the way I've always known it to be. I might be wrong)

This trinket would have its uses, that's all I'm saying. On high damage bosses like patch or other, if the bubble is being broken on a single hit, there will be no lost rage or mana for the tank. If it works with splash damage or with beacon of light, it would be pure win imo.

Definately has it's uses.

With respect to Paly and Devine Plea - I think they are going to put some kind of debuff on incoming heals aren't they? Sow when DP is up you recieve (For example) 15% less heals???

Absolutely not!

Divine Plea was intended by Blizz to be the Paladin version of the warrior/druid enrage ability.

The reason they decided to limit it's healing power was precisely that they didn't want it to be a healer self-innervate. They wanted it to be for tanking and for DPSing.
