Hey, just a clarification - lightsmith capstone actually spawns a completely separate weapon npc (for any person reading this pop your wings and you will notice a weapon tposing and following you around) thats copying the spells. The sacred weapon "buff" from the spell itself has nothing to do with it - casting wings spawns the weapon npc that lasts 20s and having sacred weapon [the buff] even in wings doesnt do anything other than just having a plain sacred weapon buff that procs dmg/healing here and there (also that's why its semi-important to use it on classes that dont cast any healing spells as that can potentially proc healing instead of damage from the sacred weapon). Blessing of the Forge basically reads as "you summon an npc that copies your spenders for 20 sec you also cast sacred weapon [the spell you have access to aka armaments] on yourself".
......... lol......lollllllll. lolllll,.,.,,. Man, just play something else. you're incorrect, Wings Sacred Weapon Spell ID 432502.. Huh.... Sacred Weapon Spell ID 432502, you read the hero talents and think it different when it's the same things... A GamingChannel? you gonna delete your horrible incorrect comment or just edit it to be correct? Even if it was somehow a different spell ID which it isn't you would want to overlap buffs because it waste global uptime.... Also... Casting on certain classes? Do you know what a @Focus macro is for? Also it isn't even worth having macro for because of the spell logic in the first place, it isn't gonna copy if cast on yourself to a healer 30 yards away... Do you even play a paladin?
what i've been wondering is that wouldnt it be ideal to use both charges right before the key starts? after the key is activated both charges are up again
It feels so clunky design wise but I was also just wondering when I was supposed to use em, I was already saving sacred weapon for wings so this is great to know
@Vordhosbn you specifically don't want to use sacred weapon when you cast wings because you get a free one with wings. You can refresh that free wings weapon if you have a charge once it's duration is 5s or less. Going into wings with a weapon you cast will be an overall dmg loss.
In addition - when you interrupt a cast you get a free Blessed Hammer (which yes gives you HP). In trash packs you can generate A LOT of holy power quickly especially with wings.
As long as the player the weapon goes to is actively playing (vs afk/not hitting things/dying) and not a healer, it doesn't change your damage. The only consideration for target (tempered in battle, he talks about it at the end) is if you spec LS a certain way.
Does sacred weapon also stay up as a key starts? If so, wouldn’t it be better to have sacred weapon in front, pre cast sacred weapon into holy bulwark as the key starts so that you get extra time with the free sacred weapon buff?
I usually precast both prior to key placement. Holds for 12 seconds. Your cd is up when key starts. Done it multiple times. Only time you don’t see a benefit is when your first pull takes a bit. Good thing is. Holy bulwark last as long as the shield is up (when dmg deplete your shield). Sacred weapon last as long as you have it buffed.
idk about lightsmith, I feel 15% shield its kinda useless becuase I see how my health already gets down in microseconds, I feel more comfortable playing templar with 45s cd
When you say “bulwark ourself” you’re casting bulwark on you rather than someone else? Do we get two stacks in that case? I’ve been bulwarking someone else since I get a copy as well.
@@newera3443 it prefers another tank over a healer I think, though you only have another tank in raid. I've also seen it go on a low hp DPS but maybe the healer was out of range. It may prefer low HP people over healers not sure.
Do you consider using bulwark as an external to help a mate during a big damage phase or is it not worth messing the cycle ? same for the sacred weapon, it is worth using as a "PI" on some specific dps classes ? Or just relying on the random cast is the way to go .
He already answered the first question, yes. The weapon doesn't have any interaction with other players and what they press, so don't worry about their cds.
Can I have a simple written break down of what you are saying here? This is a godsend but I am having trouble pulling out the takeaways here. I was just wondering about how to optimize holy bulwarks use but I just can’t figure out what is important to takeaway here.
What I understood is that, you want to have full uptime on "Sacred Weapon" during wings so that it completely copies your damage, otherwise use shield out of combat mostly but when needed obviously in combat as well. His main goal is to have full uptime for sacred weapon during wings.
Timing with Avenging Wrath (Wings): Always aim to pair Sacred Weapon with Avenging Wrath. This maximizes your Holy damage, making the most out of its duration and turning it into a burst phase. If possible, combine it with Divine Toll or Moment of Glory for extra Holy power generation and cleave damage. Pre-pull or Mid-Fight: If Sacred Weapon is off cooldown at the start of a pull, use it just before engaging the enemy to initiate with higher threat and burst. In mid-fight, save it for heavy damage phases where you need to optimize DPS or aggro. During AoE: Sacred Weapon excels in multi-target scenarios since its Holy damage applies to all targets hit by your abilities. Use it alongside Consecration and Blessed Hammer, ensuring constant Holy damage output on multiple targets. Maximizing Auto-attacks: Since Sacred Weapon adds Holy damage to auto-attacks, maintain uptime on the boss or target to ensure you get the full value. Avoid unnecessary movement that disrupts melee swings. Synergize with Defensive CDs: If you’re tanking during a heavy-damage phase, Sacred Weapon's added Holy damage can help maintain threat while you focus on survival with abilities like Shield of the Righteous or Ardent Defender. Burst Rotation: Activate Sacred Weapon. Use Avenging Wrath. Cast Divine Toll (for AoE) or Judgment (for single target). Spam Shield of the Righteous to maximize Holy damage output. Follow with Consecration and Hammer of Wrath. Sustained Rotation: If burst isn’t needed, weave Sacred Weapon into your standard rotation while maintaining Shield of the Righteous uptime and keeping Consecration active. Use Sacred Weapon on large trash packs for burst AoE damage. Pair with Divine Toll and Avenging Wrath for massive threat and Holy damage output. Save it for high-priority targets or bosses if needed.
So sacred weapon is a damage buff and copies ur spells and does damage. U want to use it on most tanky dps. U want to use it before wings expire for couple seconds? wish there was more explanation in what it does and how it benefits
I like Yoda. My only complain about him is that he answers ZERO questions. Tanks like Quazii or Tacktyks take timr out to actually listen to viewers, give insight, answer questions and interact with them. Yoda just turns on stream whenever his friends get on and talks to them not us
How much does this really matter? If you're fighting for the top prot paladin? against others with meta bis mythic team ? I always pug 2-3 players with friends that only started in wotlk classic and play only a month or two total. Im a 2900 mythic player with pugs and people that didnt even play mmorpgs 2 years ago. None of this masters, I use my own talents that work for me. Just use your sacred weapons when you feel like you need to, it's a simple concept if you can't understand just play something else. If you're worried about when to use them and being the most efficient then you don't understand the playstyle of a prot paladin. Look at your top 15 comments they're confused people say thanks I knew I should be saving sacred weapon and wings together lol... They dont even understand after watching a video. Yoda Crit build is unplayable unless youre 630 with a god healer, if you pug and need to look up a guide on how to use the core of your hero skills none of this is for you. TL:DR if you need to look this up at all you're not a tank carry move on, enjoy your 2-3 keys.
I was literally thinking about this and then RUclips suggested it. God algorithm… will be back in stream soon!
Holy shit you're a sage, I was wondering this 10 minutes ago and this showed up on my feed lmao
Hes in your walls
Which weakaura are you using to track your cds and which one is that showing enemy cd timers please

"DRW - paladin"
Ahh, pally’s version of rune weapons.
seriously, no shit I was thinking about this since I just got back into the game. You are a great tank yoda.
Do i use Sacred Weapon on myself and just let rng cast it on ana lly? Or should i focus on using it on someone specific?
Should use it on dps always I mean doesn't matter which one assuming all dps are doing like anything lol.
what i've been wondering is that wouldnt it be ideal to use both charges right before the key starts? after the key is activated both charges are up again
ah nvm just tested it myself. Sacred weapon will be removed once the timer finished and the key starts
It feels so clunky design wise but I was also just wondering when I was supposed to use em, I was already saving sacred weapon for wings so this is great to know
i thought wings gave a free one?
@@SubtleSlacker There's a chance to get a free one with most spells.
@Vordhosbn you specifically don't want to use sacred weapon when you cast wings because you get a free one with wings. You can refresh that free wings weapon if you have a charge once it's duration is 5s or less. Going into wings with a weapon you cast will be an overall dmg loss.
This isn't right........ This isn't how you play prot at all....
@@Daemos66 Huh I thought it was a chance, cuz I got bulwark from wings as well automatically sometimes.
So, why dont use the sacred bulwark while in combat ? ok does not increase your damage but why not to use ? its a defensive
is there a way to find all the addons and UI he uses? Going to switch to prot paladin
Is there a separate weakaura somewhere to track sacred wep procs?
what WA do you use to keep track of sacred weapon etc?
how is your shield of righteous reaching a 12 seconds maximum duration?
During wings he gets 2 holy power per judgment and more divine purpose procs so he can cast SotR way more often to stack up the duration.
In addition - when you interrupt a cast you get a free Blessed Hammer (which yes gives you HP). In trash packs you can generate A LOT of holy power quickly especially with wings.
@@DefenestrationedHa, I was wondering if the free hammer gave HP.
Is there a good mouse over macro for hero talent?

@@dennisprice3820 thank you, i just found it on wowhead too. XD
When the key is about to start, you can also use Avenging Wrath for a free weapon
hey can you by chance post your addon setting copy keys? :D
huh. exactly what wowhead says NOT to do, looks like they need a new pally writer.
Wowhead having terrible class guides? Never
Wow head is never the end all be all
Hey, Bolas is great for ret.
do you ever hold the sacred weapon specifically for tempered in battle purposes?
What addon is that in the middle showing your procs?
Should I sent the weapon to highest dps , or just cast on myself and let it go a random people ? I am very confuse on it
As long as the player the weapon goes to is actively playing (vs afk/not hitting things/dying) and not a healer, it doesn't change your damage. The only consideration for target (tempered in battle, he talks about it at the end) is if you spec LS a certain way.

idk about lightsmith, I feel 15% shield its kinda useless becuase I see how my health already gets down in microseconds, I feel more comfortable playing templar with 45s cd
ok who asked? the best prot pallies use lightsmight
Lightsmith is not about Bulwark at all though
@@courtesan8784 is he not allowed to talk in comments? He wasnt challenging anythign calm your aggro
@@Shamir1515 he just has to look up the top pallys on rio? What is his question? Its simply better obviously
Lightsmith is much higher damage and the tree has more defences.

If you bulwark youserlf, it sends it automaticaly to the healer if he's in range and if not in range it sends it to a dps i think
@ ahh interesting! The more you know
Yea 100% to the healer unless not in range. But you can target dps and give them a shield also.

Hi
Thank you yoda. Your prot warrior sucks but knowledge and insight of paladin is awesome. Keep going on.
6 seconds not 5
how do i deal with flamerenders in grimbatol there so broken
This video was a lot of words for Slam on CD
That’s not what it was…
I like Yoda. My only complain about him is that he answers ZERO questions. Tanks like Quazii or Tacktyks take timr out to actually listen to viewers, give insight, answer questions and interact with them. Yoda just turns on stream whenever his friends get on and talks to them not us
Not true, he does answer questions. Keeps it short and to the point.
He only answers on twitch .
@@quannguyen-op1ur hmmm that may be why. I've only seen him on youtube
He's also not an educational streamer, per se. He's pushing highest keys in the world right now and giving insight on the side.
He does answer questions. When i asked him a question about having low versatility He told me to get good. Tbh it was a good answer
Serious question do you ever see the sun lol or do you play wow 24/7?
