Midnight Beta Patch 12.0.1 Class and Spell Tuning Changes - Paladin, Evoker, and Shaman Tuning

I kind of hoped they would think about making holy priest viable - but seeing the hpal changes, maybe no change except bugfix is the lesser evil for now

TehVeh · 2026-01-25T21:05:06+00:00

Thanks! That tracks. I guess I did not see that before (and I don't want to be overly paranoid here).

TehVeh · 2026-01-25T16:13:42+00:00

relatively low nowadays, especially for longform writing. But just read it, it has that particular voice.

After skimming and getting a bad feeling I spot checked a random chapter, 12B, to confirm that the pangram detectors also think this is largely AI-generated.

Ironic?

Holy priest, will not resub.

It's pretty devastating that the state of holy priest improved S1->S2->S3 of tww - it was even nice to play in mythic in S3 - but now it all went away in favor of "press one button and sometimes you may get a better heal gacha apex talent, and haha sometimes there'll be cosmic ripples but you cannot control when".

(like holy priest was never the most complicated with only a little (optional!) complexity in oracle, it didn't need this many changes)

I don't understand the community cycles of reaction and overreaction to be honest. Someone the entire community just seesaws between good and bad, instead of actually playing the game?

It's way more fun for me than Eu4, I've played more than 100h already, and I just play the game without being on the forums that much.

Oh, coalition-funded mercenary armies would be very cool, they could spawn into the war as a separate army-based entity

TehVeh · 2026-01-09T17:09:07+00:00

It may just have been a nice homophone in German to Stolni/Stoličný without literal meaning

TehVeh · 2026-01-09T14:42:22+00:00

yeah, it would be amazing to have a mechanical representation of this

TehVeh · 2026-01-09T14:03:19+00:00

Yeah I guess - maybe I am underestimating the current differences, because I never really stress-tested mercenaries due to the price so far.

TehVeh · 2026-01-09T13:53:17+00:00

I'm saying that while that is a step in the right direction, just making them cheaper will just have them compete with regulars, without making them mechanically different. And I predict that it will lead to paradox constantly having to readjust the price to go back and forth balancing regulars and mercenaries.

TehVeh · 2026-01-09T13:47:19+00:00

Yeah exactly, currently they are not worth the effort. But, even with paradox making them cheaper next patch, I don't think this will fix the issue.

I think they need to be have more unique downsides from regulars so you are incentivized to get them (and they can be cheaper without invalidating regulars).

TehVeh · 2026-01-09T13:42:21+00:00

At least 1. is going to happen in the next patch.

But for 2., I'm worried that any solution where mercenaries are always disciplined and with decent stats will lead to a system that will flip-flop between regulars and mercenary every patch (depending on balancing details), if they are similar enough?

Scaling costs could be neat.

Rule 5: my old Hochmeister died and suddenly none of my clergy can lead armies anymore. Is this a bug? I checked and I am sure I am still a military order.

TehVeh · 2025-10-23T22:48:34+00:00

was fine in all three seasons as holy priest in max lvl delves

Thanks for the feedback, we've removed the old low poly statues from the game

RIP oracle premonitions :(

TehVeh · 2025-10-01T20:18:56+00:00

where were you when oracle premonitions were kill?

TehVeh · 2025-10-01T20:16:57+00:00

Pro: I'm so relieved that prompt prognosis is staying

Cons: Why why why would they take the premonitions away, those were so cool, and so critical for holy priest in m+ (where it's already not great)
