Significant Change on Playtest

From the latest playtest patch notes:
Devoted Cleric
Feat Linked Spirit: Can now be triggered by the first tick of heal of time effects. Can no longer cast a non divine spell and then activate Channel Divinity to receive the bonus.

So much for hitting that Burst, hitting Tab while the animation is going, and Link Spiriting everyone without burning a pip.

Heck, I've been using that trick in parties since... well,... since longer than I can remember. Looks like it's going away, eh?

    Admittedly this is easy for me to say because I never used Sunburst in parties to begin with, but I'm not unhappy that it's getting fixed -- it was clearly not working as intended and it's good that they're paying attention to DC powers.

    The arguably bigger -- and definitely better -- thing from the preview notes is that Linked Spirit will now proc from stuff like Astral Shield, which it really should have done from the beginning anyway.

    They really shouldn't have allowed this glitch to persist for so long before fixing it. Players start to think that it's a "feature" when the devs overlook it for months on end.

    Personally I don't care about Linked Spirit because I don't have room for it in my Righteous build and rarely use Sunburst as an AC, anyway. It's a good thing that it should finally work with Astral Shield and Forgemaster's, though.

    Seems to be bugged currently and doesn't actually grant increased stats with Divine Astral Shield (or D-Exaltation). Maybe someone else can confirm my tests.
