Bacon of Light

Blessing of Kings: Bacon of Light (and the forum thread it came from) provides hope for all those rolling the new hero class - Iron Chef!
Bacon of Light is actually a skill for another hero class: the Iron Chef
The Iron Chef uses the Meal & Judgment system
The Iron Chef first creates a Meal (Meal of Light, Meal of Wisdom, etc), and when he calls for it, the judges come in and Judge the Meal
They have “Ham” spells that they can use on themselves or others. i.e Ham of Freedom, Ham of Protection
The Iron Chef also has auras like Froth Resistance Aura when you need to make a clear soup/broth/etc
Talents include “Rye for a Rye” and “Holy Stock” (much better than chicken stock, beef stock, etc.)
Only parts of the class are OP. Some parts are still questionable if it’ll work out. For example, I think Guardian’s Flavor should also affect Ham of Sacrifice, what with HoS being on such a long cooldown, but that’s just me.
Back to the IC… it’s even more dangerous in a group.

Basting of Might fills up a warrior’s sage bar to full, and they’ll be handling out Mackerel Strikes left and right with no cooldown.
Basting of Wisdom turns a shaman into a Grain-heal spamming machine
Basting of Kings is just good for anyone

Nerf ICs tanking, their holy meal is overpowered for mitigation, and their ladle of the righteous hits too hard.
And their unenders meal is overpowered, it makes THREE mobs hungry and they almost always come to eat your meal. Nerf the flavor on the ICs attacks.
You don’t have to say that much… a simple ZOMG PLATE + MEALS +GOBBLE = OP would do
Also they do yummy damage, and since there is no +yummy resist gear they do more gobbles per second.

Bah, don’t get too comfortable with the buffs. You just know that Kalgan’s gonna nerf the hell out of us. I mean, we use plates and can restore huge amounts of health and happiness? OMG NERF!
no what’s really OP is how they can spam Dash of Spice on their allies forever and never have to stop.
don’t forget that Divine Sandwhich i mean come on thats so OP at least priests can now get rid of it with Meal Dispel
I’m glad they increased the proc rate on The Tart of War, bacon is so much better with a nice cherry or raspberry tart to go with it.

Randomly, what do you all think about the changes to Judgments of the Fries?
a good move. this way Meal specced IC won’t be able to cast Dash of Spice endlessly, and should be much more balanced.
I guess, but JotF just strikes me as filler right now. Sure, it adds a bit to the overall variety but, now matter how I look at it, it just takes up space.
Besides, Blizz was gonna balance DoS by putting some diminishing returns on it. Sux to be you, Emril-chefs.

I’m so glad they are making it so I don’t have to recook a meal after they judge it in the next patch!
I didn’t even spec into improved judges in 2.4 because the 2 sec reduction made it so I could barely recook a meal in time. That together with the oven cool down was a huge nerf to my overall deliciousness per second…
Rachel Ray of Hope:
Your meal spells now have a 20% chance to grant you an additional meal spell. This effect cannot occur more than once every 30 minutes.
Emeril Dream:
Cost: 30% of base manna
Cooldown: 3 minutes.
Duration: 30 seconds
Puts you in the Emeril Dreamstate granting you the BAM! ability. The BAM! ability randomly casts Dash of Spice at a different party or raid member every second for 30 seconds. During this time you will not be able to think straight or talk at a reasonable volume.
