Hi. I wanted to first of all thank the people making these guides. I am not new to the game but, definitely new to paladins. I wanted to ask the creators of these guides to give an abbreviation deciphering key…Is it somewhere on the site and I missed it? I am so confused with the Paladin spells since they all have very similar names that it would be grand if there was some way to know what each was in the rotation. Just a key at the introduction part of this article. Yes some are obvious…but not all have played paladin before… thanks in advance.

I’m trying to get the rotation down and am finding that Inq is never available for a starting hit. Has this changed since your rotation listing?

@Ffont and Ninda- The latter HW in the priority system is Holy Wrath, and im assuming the first is Hammer of Wrath
(typo I’m guessing).

@Cilkia – It is considered a net DPS loss to use your CD’s seperately, yes your damage is less “spiky” but it is still an overall damage loss.

To clear up some confusion I have had in the past (as well as some guild members), CS should be used every 3rd CD ideally (almost never happens due to procs and CD clashes), unless it will not generate holy power (3 holy power with a divine purpose proc).

In Layman’s terms, dump your holy pwer so you can generate more before using a CS.

hmm i don’t use AV and zealotry together, i rather wait until my fury of angerforge is ready and then use 1 of them (most of the time zealotry) together with the trinket. the other one i use to fill the place between the start and the 5 stacks of raw fury necesairy to use the trinket, together with guardian. That way i’ll always have an “extra attack” (TV with zeal and HoW with AV) and a strenght increase(trinket and guardian) it just gives me the feeling im doing the same damage ad keep it, instead of bursting really high for 20 seconds, and then dropping again. In PvP however, i tend to use it sometimes.

@infy
never use less then 3 HP, always a waste (except if you need a REALLY fast heal with WoG, which is DPS loss anyway)

forgive my ignorance, but the initial Inq should be 3 stacks of HP correct? As well as TV?

With Glyph of Exorcism:
Inq > CS> TV> Exo> HW > Judge > HW > Cons

Is this wrong?
I know Hammer of Wrath is verry hign the rotation list and can be used when popped Avenging Wrath.

Inquisition –> Crusader strike –> Templars Verdict –> **Hammer of wrath or Holy Wrath?**

So, I assume that when your instant exorcism comes up, you’ll use that right away and then re-start your rotation, correct?? Or just pick up where you left off?

This might sound noobish, but what does the Ex stand for?
