Spell changes
Hover an icon for the tooltip. Changed spells also show how they worked before.
Atoned Focus
Baseline Discipline role tuning: damage is 82% of a DPS specialization's baseline; healing is unchanged.
Power Word: Shield
Absorb ally and apply Atonement.
Atonement
Spell damage heals each ally carrying your Atonement for 60% of damage dealt; conversion cannot critically heal or trigger further damage procs.
Purge the Wicked
Purge the Wicked's periodic aura gains faster ticks without losing duration. A completed offensive Penance on an infected target copies the remaining-duration DoT to the nearest eligible uninfected enemy within 10 yards, once per cast. Haste makes this periodic effect happen more often without shortening its base duration.
Penance
Damage enemy or heal ally; offensive casts may trigger extra Atonement pulses.
Smite
Smite damage heals through Atonement and grants a separate absorb to the most injured eligible ally carrying your Atonement: 15% of Smite damage, capped at 5% of your maximum health. The absorb never replaces Power Word: Shield.
Schism
Damage and temporarily increase owner damage to target.
Power Word: Radiance
Broadly apply shorter-duration Atonement.
Evangelism
Extend all your active Atonements by 6 seconds and increase your spell damage by 10% for 6 seconds.

Halo

Empyreal Blaze
After casting, immediately launch two triggered instant Holy Fires at the current hostile target within 40 yards and line of sight; their triggered state prevents proc recursion. If the cast target is invalid, use the selected enemy, then combat victim; if neither qualifies, skip the extra casts.

Upon expiration, releases an Ascended Eruption: Explode for up to (210% of Spell Power) Arcane damage to enemies and (159% of Spell Power) healing to allies within 0 yds, based on number of targets. Damage and healing increased by 3% for each stack of Boon of the Ascended.
