sweet god

they really better have some positive refurbishment to the Ret paladin dps build if they're taking stuff like divine purpose away from us.
No one is going to waste the talent if it only procs off templar verdicts and inquisitions, just. nobody.
They really need to put some work in on that, I mean, here they are redoing talents, and they still have useless talents people just will not touch cause they're not worth it.

For example, the level 60 "Helping Others" tier; one would pick the talent with the least detriment to the role they've chosen, in this case, doing damage. All of these, however, nerf your damage capability in some way: Selfless Healer would be awesome if Flash of Light had no cast time, but for now it does. Eternal Glory only works on Word of Glory and Light of Dawn, both heals that use precious HP better spent on TVs or Inquisitions (and WoG has a 20s cd anyway, and Ret doesn't get LoD currently). Same with Holy Shield, a cool concept but it steals HP from your damage. Sure, giving up damage for healing or survivability is supposed to be the trade-off but 9 times out of 10 you'll rather have the damage.

Until we know what skills and spells are going to which specs, these talents don't make sense.
