Patch notesBuild 1.60.1.70425, October 15, 2026
Righteous Fury: Holy damage threat raised to 90% (was 60%).
Seal of Righteousness: Got almost twice the spell damage it should: fixed. Judgement of Righteousness and Judgement of Fury get the instant-spell coefficients.
Consecration: Gets 4.2% of spell power per tick (was 9.5%).
Infusion of Light: No longer gives Holy Shock 50% more damage against enemies. Light’s Vigil works with focus macros.
Shield Specialization: Restores 4% mana (was 6%), still every 3 sec at most.
Champion of the Light: Gives spell damage equal to 10/20/30% of your Intellect (was 20/40/60%).
Salvation: Replaces Blessing of Salvation, and Mass Salvation replaces Greater Blessing of Salvation: cast the same way, but they no longer take a Blessing slot. You also learn Revoke, which removes them from a party or raid member.
Seal of Fury: Is no longer overwritten by Power Word: Shield. Its rank 3 is trained at level 26 (was 25).
Reckoning: Stores up to 4 charges again, as in Classic Era: each trigger adds one, and your next swing spends them all as extra attacks.
Sanctified Judgement: Its mana return no longer generates threat.
Sense Undead: Is no longer in the spellbook.Not in Blizzard’s notes, found in the game.
