Exorcism After Patch 3.2Follow

#1 Aug 05 2009 at 7:09 AM Rating: Sub-Default
HI Guys,
Anyone notice anything odd with Exorcism after patch 3.2? I'm use it as one of my first offensive spells and what happens now is sometimes it has a cast time, other times it doesn't. Sometimes I get the "Can't cast while moving" error sometimes not. I know they changed it so it will work on Non-NPCs for PvP, but did I miss something else?

You might try reading the patch notes. Exorcism and its interaction with art of war are explained quite plainly.

2 things:

1. patch notes will help keep you from being labelled Retnoob.

2. on my alt rogue, i've noticed ALOT(read: most) of midlevel pallies trying to use Exorcism as an openner for PvP, not even always at range either. WTF is that? hmm, Kick = dead Retnoob.

Hmmm. Maybe I should be pvp'ing on my rogue right now and take advantage of all the idiots that can't read patch notes.

Hmmm... It was useful. As were the other posts. They all pointed out the fact that Art of War (Ret talent that used to only make Flash of Light instant cast) now works with Exorcism. Exorcism now has a 1.5 sec cast time. Ergo, idiots who can't read patch notes deserve to be kicked when they open up with Exorcism and be completely locked out of anything and everything they might want to do for the next 6 seconds.

Oh, yeah - the change to Exorcism and how it interacts with AoW was splashed in a great big paragraph in the paladin section of the patch notes. I'm guessing you didn't read them. So, here, I've got a shoe for you to try on. It says "Idiot" in big green letters on the side. Does it fit?

it was more useful than you think. choosing not to use this information is rather ignorant to your original post.

1. by reading the patch notes(and tooltips) you will avoid running into surprise mechanics and also develop a more thoughtout strategy. if you were grouped with people and they watched you try to repeatedly cast something that you couldnt, they might be quick to label you, and thus be reluctant to group with you again. sorry.

2. dont use a 1.5 sec Exorcism as a melee openner, plus you risk being locked out of all of your Holy spells should you be counterspelled during your casting.


protip: when solo, i've been openning with Hand of Reckoning. it's instant, it's ranged, it's relatively powerful, it crits pretty often, and leaves my other offensives open. can be used for effective chain pulling. use it before you get the aggro or you get no dmg from it.

All your spells. Getting kicked as a paladin locks out everything but weapon strike (crusader strike, divine storm). Hand of reckoning i agree is rather awesome for soloing.
