Bugs
Below is a list of things that are suspected to be bugs or unintended behaviour.
Important bugs
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Renew expiring on someone will remove a stack of 2pc Buff even if there are more Renews active. The buff isn't counting active renews but just goes up when one is applied and goes down when one is removed.
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Twins of the Sun Priestess does not trigger during Spirit of Redemption.
- Prayer of Healing casts consuming Surge of Light when talented into Spiritwell and Ultimate Serenity reduces the cooldown of Holy Word: Serenity by 12 seconds, not 10.
- Divine Hymn sometimes ticks for 5-10x more than it should.
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Divine Image can be bugged so it only despawns if you cast an empowered Naaru, or move 100 yards away.
- Dazzling Lights will sometimes not proc when casting Holy Word: Sanctify.
- Casting Flash Heal or Prayer of Healing and then mid-cast if you gain Surge of Light from Halo, when the cast completes you do not consume Surge of Light, but do get a mana discount.
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Halo will miss targets that are too close to you on the return from Divine Halos. See this github issue.
- The following spells do not trigger Echo of Light:
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Dispersing Light
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Trail of Light
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Binding Heals
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Desperate Prayer
Likely a bug
- None currently.
Hopefully a bug
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Ultimate Serenity can't be talented into while any charges of Holy Word: Sanctify are on cooldown.
Inconsistencies
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Binding Heals also triggers Protective Light on yourself regardless of your Flash Heal target.
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Evoker's Blessing of the Bronze which affects a movement enhancing ability for all classes, affects Leap of Faith for Priest.
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Evoker's Time Spiral which affects a movement enhancing ability for all classes, affects Leap of Faith for Priest.
- Tested 12.1.0.68209 Light of the Naaru CDR increase is not reflected in any ability tooltips.
