QUOTE
We're in the process of removing the on-use benefits of the Mantra of Healing rune, Boon of Protection. The hotfix change is:

Amount of damage absorbed is now capped at the amount of healing provided by Mantra of Healing in the first 3 seconds after activation


We recommend discontinuing its use until the rune is replaced with a new rune and mechanic in a future patch.

The Boon of Protection rune was approximately ten times over its budget on the benefits it provided, and it was quite simply a mistake on our part to let the rune ship as it was. We don't intend to take these quick and drastic measures often, but considering the severity of the issue, we felt it important to correct it swiftly.

We're shooting to post a full list of recent hotfixes tomorrow, and will be looking to answer questions once that's live.

1. only heal that has NO cooldown.
2. only heal that is scalable (like, if youre lvl 20+ it heals 1500hp a second, lvl50+ heals 5k a sec shocking.gif )
3. can spam the heal and pretty much makes them invincible, good for hell-inferno

at least this is what i deducted from blizzard forum lah. don't really know since i don't play monk, but now i kind of regret it cry.gif

It's not affected the mantra of healing itself - i.e not the HPS.

It only affected the rune - boon of protection.

If I read it right, it will give you a shield that absorbs damage up to 15% of your life for the first 2 seconds after you activate it. So if you "spam" it (no CD, but costs 50 spirit), it will give pretty much a shield to absorb the blow. Since it's 15% of your life, if you run high vitality, it will absorb plenty. (changed now to the same amount of 3 ticks of mantra of healing, right?)

...but it's not taking away that that Mantra is another one of those heal when needed biggrin.gif

Welcome to Blizzard balancing 101! tongue.gif

1) Overbuffs an ability or class
2) Hears player complaints
3) NERF TO THE GROUND!
4) Hears player QQ about the nerf

Several months later...

5) Buffs the same ability or class slightly to silence QQers
6) Hears more player complaints
7) NERFS EVEN HARDER TO THE GROUND!

with the bug exploit of clever use of game mechanics with 'quickening' for spirit regeneration and no-cool-down healing skills, just made it sounded like paladin class during last WoW expansion, making the class able solo tanking few players in battle ground

i rather they come out extra char like purely tanker - paladin and barb to be purely physical dmg creator.. look at the weapon that everyone can use any weapon also break my heart.. =.='.. then it looks like even wiz n dh can tank like barb.. make barb not special at all..

you are right, wd use 2h bow? wtf
they need to have some bonus 50% for use own specific class weapon like diablo 2
it really doesn't make sense when everyone looking for highest dps regardless the type of weapon -.-
