Thread: Paladin, 6.3 reworks, what do you want to see?

That's an issue as well. It's rare but those situations do exist and it can force you into an extremely uncomfortable rotation that skips Confiteor and anything after it. There is also the animation to consider. Holy Spirit's just makes sense for a single target.

The problem is just the excitement factor. The anmations are part of the experience and every time something is pruned we lose that. There are a long list of animations that people loved that were removed for the sake of function, but it's never been something that has been done unless the ability is attacked by the whole community or unused.

There are a lot of examples, such as Fluid Aura, Featherfoot, enmity combos, Bulwark, Dark Arts, that were just all pointless, rarely used or part of memes. Holy Spirit isn't in either of these categories. If they could get it to change animation depending on if it's a single target or not, that could work.

Aoe that requires me to target is annoying because I have to keep trying to find the target that is most in the middle every time one moves or dies. Although for a non-tank, not being able to target aoe means I have to risk standing in enemy attacks. The current system balances both those things.
