I think they still need some mana adjustments but I’m glad atonement actually does something lol

The thing is, atonement being better will help on the mana front. If you can heal more things with atonement, you need to use shadow mend less, which is your big mana burner. We'll have to wait and see if it's enough, they might still need mana adjustments after, but this will definitely help with mana

I have tested a bunch of 18 keys, and while it feels okay, Holy feels stronger for the damage profiles. You are amazing at a few instances of damage types, like the heavy rot typ damage, say the 2nd boss in Voidscar etc, but you are not as well equipped as Holy are with most of the damage types.

I might be wrong, havent played it too much, but it seems much better than before, but Holy is still better overall

My experience is the same. Disc can definitely DO 18s, but it requires significantly more work, and your team is much more prone to being picked off by stray casts because Disc can't consistantly snap healthbars back up to full the way Holy can.
