Regarding the Linked Spirit/Sunburst Fix

Prior to the most recent patch, Devoted Clerics were able to proc Linked Spirit by casting their Sunburst encounter, and quickly hit Tab to activate Channel Divinity after. Last night's patch fixed this so Linked Spirit only procs if Sunburst is cast with Channel Divinity is already on.

So, my problem currently is, with the fix I risk knocking mobs away and out of AoE in order to proc linked spirit now. In most dungeons (other than SP) this causes a problem.

My question to the DC community,is this worth a respec? I was thinking Bastion of Health would be a better choice for those times I don't want to use a knockback. What are the thoughts of the DC community?

    It procs off any divinity encounter now.. so Ashield, and FF and Divine HW ... I would slot any of those above BoH but its up to you.

    As Silverkelt said it procs off of othe skills now. It should be noted that all the ones he listed AS, FF, HW are all HoT effects and Linked Spirit will only trigger on the first tick of each HoT spell. these should all be much more useful spells than BoH but feel free to test it out and use it if you like it.
    You can still get utility out of LS but not as easily as before. I've been running LS for ages now a just a nice buff that synergized well with the spells I was using but I will most likely drop it now, don't really need it and AS is the only spell I normally run that can reliably proc it now, and half the time I'm not even casting it from divine. With that said I wouldn't blow the money on a respec just to relocate points from LS to something else, unless you really want to

    True but LS shines when being shared with the entire team, 5% more per person

    It's supposed to work with astral shield but the only thing that works is getting the LS icon. There's no stats buff. Divine mode sunburst gives the stats atm. Not sure it's worth using a respec token. It's going to be fixed eventually.

    My biggest problem is trying to forget tab-switch to Divinity, I just do it automatically.

    I prefer the old way as it took some skill switching Channel Divinity but I'm sure I'll adjust.

    It helps that it procs on Divine Astral Shield. Also good in PvP when do want to push them off a point.

    No it doesn't - would be ok if it did. But they just nerfed the one thing broken with Linked Spirit which provided an advantage and left the other problems in place. Specifically linked spirit DOES NOT proc of blue astral shield or healing hands atm.

    Someone pointed that out on another thread to me,

    Ive retraited and removed LS at this time, without it functioning with Ashield its pretty meh.. you NEVER cast divine SB during dungeons and you MAY or may not be using FF at any time anywhere. So there is that.

    My other thought is maybe I shouldve dumped points out of moontouched as well(since they are nerfing that).. but since I never cap anything, I have half points in righteousness and other half in faithful now.

    I look at my CW and GWF trait trees and I honestly am blown away about the difference that the poor DC is giving, most freats/traits are worthless and those that are worth something , you HAVE to spend points to get on feats that are subpar.
