3.2 pally updates

* Blessing of Sanctuary: This blessing now also increases stamina by 10%. This effect is not cumulative with Blessing of Kings.
* Charger: Can now be learned at level 40.
* Exorcism: Now has a 1.5 second cast time, but can once again be used on players.
* Hand of Reckoning: Redesigned. Now does damage only when target does not currently have the caster targeted, but damage done increased to 50% of attack power, occurring after the taunt effect is applied.
* Judgement of Light: Now heals for 2% of the attacker's maximum health instead of a variable amount based on the spell power and attack power of the judging paladin.
* Lay on Hands: The buff from this ability now reduces the physical damage taken by the target by 10/20% instead of increasing the target's armor.
* Righteous Fury: No longer has a duration or mana cost, remaining until cancelled or death. Also cancelled when a Paladin activates a different talent specialization.
* Sacred Shield: When a paladin casts Flash of Light on a target with this buff, they also now place a heal over time effect on the target, healing that target for 100% of the Flash of Light amount over 12 seconds.
* Seal of Blood: This ability has been removed.
* Seal of the Martyr: This ability has been removed.
* Seal of Vengeance and Seal of Corruption: These seals have been redesigned to deal substantially more damage. Now, once a paladin has 5 copies of the debuff from these seals on his or her target, on each swing the paladin will deal 33% weapon damage as Holy, with critical strikes dealing double damage.
* Shield of Righteousness: Now deals 100% of shield block value as damage instead of 130%.
* Warhorse: Can now be learned at level 20.
* Talents
o Holy
+ Beacon of Light: The healing amount on the Beacon of Light target is now based on the total healing done (including over-healing) instead of the effective healing done. Radius increased to 60 yards. Multiple Paladins can now have this active on the same target. Buff indicating a player is within range of the Beacon target is no longer displayed.
+ Divine Intellect: This talent now gives 2/4/6/8/10% increased intellect instead of 3/6/9/12/15%.
+ Illumination: This talent now returns 30% of the mana cost of the spell instead of 60%.
o Protection
+ Ardent Defender: Redesigned. Currently, any damage taken by the paladin while at 35% health or below is reduced. Instead, any attack that would reduce the paladin to 35% health or below has its damage reduced. In addition, once every 2 minutes an attack that would have killed the paladin will fail to kill, and instead set the paladin's health to 10/20/30% of maximum.
o Retribution
+ Art of War: Now only applies to melee critical hits, but will make your next Flash of Light or Exorcism instant.
+ Crusader Strike: Damage reduced to 75% weapon damage to match the new 4 second cooldown.
+ Seal of Command: Redesigned. This seal now deals 36% weapon damage on every swing, and deals substantially less judgement damage.
+ Vindication: Redesigned. Now lowers target attack power, is consistent and does not stack with Demoralizing Shout.

Holy changes is good. Except mana regen change... i can't say anything for ret changes atm.

well i believe changes for ret were made like that cuz there were ppl who whined about them being OP and not needing any special skill to play at pvp mostly.Now i guess they're adding a bit of that little skill needed to play that spec.I still believe a g retri paladin will be very good both at pvp and pve

As I have a ret paladin I will tell you what they did. They took away that burst that Rets had and gave more dmg over a period of time. That was stated somewhere in official forums but I am too lazy to find it. A.k.a good for PvE and PvP , since noob rets wont be able to faceroll and win as Olorin already said

In addition, once every 2 minutes an attack that would have killed the paladin will fail to kill, and instead set the paladin's health to 10/20/30% of maximum.

Omg , lets talk about overpowered relics here.
WTB a wand that increases my spell power by 200.

I hope these are not the final changes cuz even though the 4 set prot one is awesome(30 sec less cd on Divine prot) the 2 set bonus one is completelly useless...I rarely have to use Righteous Defense...

Even thought the relic that gives dodge is nice as pally tanks can now choose between that or the other ones with block value depending on what they need/prefer.

Anyway dont u guyz feel that t9 are being released a bit fast?

There is a new timetable. Don't expect that Ulduar will stay as long as Naxx did. As I have already pestered Andrew more than once, I estimate an Icecrown release on Dec-Jan. This means that the next patch comes live on Sept. Not too much time for sloppiness.

Why are they rushing so much?Another expansion?Or do they wanna get done with WoW to focus on Diablo or smth?

FUCK!I just realised that even if divine prot goes to 1.30min forbearance is still 2 min cd...

So thats useless aswell...
Srsly what are they thinking?Maybe they'll reduce forbearance too?Or divine prot wont trigger forbearance...I guess i'll have to w8 and see.

They want to keep people to the game as much as they can after the release of SC2(which is surely going to be released during the US holiday season).

As I have checked out, and considering the mage's T9 sets, all set bonuses are: a)crit based for DPS classes/specs, b)plainly a downgrade from T8 bonuses in all aspects.

I sense that they just haven't tinkered with the bonuses yet, and they're there for reference and be ready to be changed. Until now this patch, is as pathetic and disappointing as it can get. Sorry Scarabea, but 6 more raptor pets don't make up for it.

too many fails with bonuses.

like "# Paladin T9 Holy 2P Bonus (Judgement) (Class: Paladin) -- Increases the duration of your Judgements by 101 sec."
We still need judge every min for %15 haste
Paladin T9 Holy Relic (Judgement) (Class: Paladin) -- Each time you use a Judgement, you have a chance to gain 234 spell power for 20 sec. that libram so useless. they are nerfed HL now FoL spam is better.
i wont judge every 20 sec for 234 sp... probaly every good paladins will use http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42615.


# Paladin T9 Holy 4P Bonus (Holy Light) (Class: Paladin) -- Increases the critical strike chance of your Holy Light spell by 5%.
again nerf HL, make FoL better and this bonus... fail.

Well it aint disapointing for me as a class as i'm getting uber buffed(again) but as a whole i'll have to agree...

EDIT as cryme posted:With this kind of set bonuses i think i'll stick with t8.5 kkthxbb

Some info i have from testing on PTRs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flash of Light + Sacred shield = HoT:

-The HoT does reset if FoL is cast before its finished. which means if u spam flash of light the HoT will NEVER tick until you let it. : /
-The HoT will activate ALWAYS if the target has the 30/60 second scared shield buff. not just on the actuall shield
-The HoT healing is NOT transfered to the beacon target (stupid : / )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beacon of Light:
- The "Delay" on beacon seems to be gone from what i can tell. when i healed, the beacon recieved the heal instantly for 100% of the healing ( as blizz said )
- yes it IS 60 yards as blizz said
- as said above the FoL HoT does NOT work on the beacon target
-The Splash healing from holy light is NOT trasnfered to the Beacon Target!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
