Patch 8.2: Vision of Perfection Essence Explained

Vision of Perfection is a specialization-specific Essence added in Patch 8.2, so the effects affect different spells for each specialization. In this post, we’re looking at them in more detail.

Each Essence has two components – a Major and a Minor Power.

• Major Power: Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate “INSERT_SPELL_HERE” for 50% of its base duration. = [proc chance]
• Minor Power: Reduces the cooldown of “INSERT_SPELL_HERE” by 15.0%. = [reduced cooldown]
  • Apparently, some spells have their cooldown reduced by 16.5%.

A big thanks to Banshee#6893 for providing the data and clarifications!

UPDATE: Healing cooldowns (Divine Hymn, Healing Tide Totem, Revival, Tranquility ) are a burst of the cooldown, not 50% of the duration.
