I've been trying to figure out how well Offensive prayers work for helping Lightspeakers and came across two oddities after asking my lightspeaker ally about it.
1. He seems to roll Holy Brawn despite having no melee attack tree.
2. He did not roll Blessing of the Animals in quite a few rolls so far, including the last 4 rolls I asked him about, but possibly for much longer. I've been trying to see if any hurt pets revert to max HP/MP after a lesser offensive blessing and I don't think I've seen any.

On closer examination, on hundreds (thousands?) of prayer rolls as an Advocate I've never ever gotten an area-effect roll either - Jericho Shout, Hunter of Iniquity or Blazing Hosts. These issues seem related, since the way they pull data is related.

The issue with Holy Brawn was that under the hood it was always checking the prayer source, not the prayer recipient - a category that should include the praying character if praying for oneself. You have close-quarters combat skills, so the code gave away close-quarters buffs.

The much, much bigger issue that came to light when I investigated Blessing of the Animals is that prayer was checking for the wrong value for Tier 3 classes all along. This means that the broad range of prayer results unique to specific Tier 3 Shepherd exits haven't been resulting at all for this entire time.

There's a working fix for both issues in the next patch. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
