What the class actually does
A Light-based archetype combining repeated attacks, a moving slow, empowered casting and burning effects that can be detonated.
The table below covers the six abilities Blizzard described in its preview. It records targeting, movement and interaction rules rather than assigning invented cooldowns, damage percentages or talent ranks.
Ability reference
| Ability | Published behavior |
|---|---|
| Purify | A three-attack forward sequence in which each successive strike is stronger. |
| Condemn | Deal holy damage to enemies ahead and reduce their movement speed. Can be cast while moving. |
| Denounce | An empowered attack that deals more damage with a longer commitment and forces enemies to confess. |
| Light's Wrath | Create a wrathful sun above an enemy, burning enemies nearby. |
| Rapture | Apply damaging flames for a short period, then detonate those flames on command. |
| Radiant Burst | Throw fire at a nearby target while moving. The impact explodes and burns nearby enemies. |
How the kit fits together
| Interaction | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
| Condemn and movement | Condemn damages and slows enemies and can be cast while moving. It connects offensive pressure with repositioning rather than forcing every action to be stationary. |
| Denounce and commitment | The empowered cast becomes stronger with a longer commitment. Its purpose differs from a moving action: the time spent preparing the attack is part of the decision. |
| Rapture and deliberate detonation | Rapture applies damaging flames for a short duration and lets you detonate them on command. Light’s Wrath instead places a burning sun over an enemy; the official preview does not establish a special bonus between the two. |
| Radiant Burst on the move | Radiant Burst can be cast while moving. It sends fire at a nearby target and explodes on impact, burning enemies around that target rather than describing a burst centered on the caster. |
Control and survival
Purify is the three-attack sequence, with successive strikes becoming stronger. Interrupting a yellow enemy cast requires damage, while a grey protected cast needs suitable control. Do not assume that every Light effect can stun a gold enemy or interrupt a protected cast simply because it deals Holy damage.

Frequently asked questions
Can Condemn be used while moving?
Yes. The published ability damages and slows enemies ahead while allowing movement.
Is Radiant Burst centered on the caster?
The official preview describes a moving cast that sends fire at a nearby target; its impact burns enemies around that target.
How are Rapture’s flames detonated?
The preview says the damaging flames can be detonated on command. It does not establish a special Light’s Wrath interaction.
