In Blizzard's notes
What Blizzard said about Holy Strike, each line checked against the files.
- Matches the files
Holy Strike's % of weapon damage per rank changed to 25%/29%/32%/36%/39%/43%/46%/50% (was 25%/25%/30%/30%/35%/35%/40%/40%).
Developers' note: This increases Holy Strike's damage at all points while leveling, and increases how much it contributes to your rotation. Early ranks of Holy Strike didn't always feel like an upgrade when purchasing a new rank, and we wanted to adjust that.
The files Build 70009 set Holy Strike ranks 1 to 8 (679 to 10333) to 25/29/32/36/39/43/46/50% weapon damage, up from 25/25/30/30/35/35/40/40 (spell effect values).
- Matches the files

The files All 8 Holy Strike ranks went from a 12 to a 10 sec cooldown in build 70009 (spell cooldown).
