raided the weekly “patchwerk” lastnight.. Ppl musta been dustin off thier mages was 4 of them, 1 tank, 1 heal, 2 hunters and 2 mdps mages totally cranked the Recount.. The trash we killed along the way.. Was like kickin a empty cola can outta yer path while yer walkin through.. Soo ICC would be a tougher place to set an AoE trash rotation =/

Assuming now that Holy wrath no longer just effects the undead just the 3 sec stun.. Which if glyphed can stun other garbage too.. Havent really confirmed it myself since most junk we fight is undead atm.. Soo guessin AoE trash mobs im gonna use Seal of the Righteous .. Then../judgment/ CS/ zealotry/ DS / Consencrate /holy wrath /CS/DS.. Or something to that effect..i havent tested this sooo.. Its jus a theory atm. But heh with plenty of raid AoE *cough* mages or locks *cough* would be a waste of time since trash drops extremely fast..

Divine Storm gets pushed to the back burner along with Concencration..since T-10 no longer has the ability to refresh the DS cool down.. And holy power charges make TV the choice to use with the +255% weapon dmg.. So pretty much makes DS and concencrate situational for AoE trash mobs..

1 point in seals of command in the Ret tree pretty much turns seal of the righteous into what seal of command used to do.. And beefs up your other seals some.. Exorcism is still insta cast off the art of war talent and is not tied with holy power. With just a little tweeking i got my dps back to 6.5 and 7.6 as an initial burst in the beginning expending CD’s Zeal, AW and HW and using Templars verdict soon as the mastery “hand of light” procs.. And i jus spammed TV when i used the Zealotry..or how ever its spelled.. Lol

Note: hammer of righteous used to be only a 3 target effect, where it is now a frontal AOE.

All, alot of the changes across paladin talents/abilities are just moved around. A reduction in one ability is actually mirrored by the addition to another. Hand of reckoning iis now just a taunt. it does not matter because the 30 yard range judgement talent in tier 1 ret tree is available to prot paladins and replaces the hand of reckoning as a pull. This kind of removal of effect in one talent to another is common with many effects across the board.
Again, consecration dmg tick is lowered, but hammer of righteous is now a full 8 yard frontal AOE. It has the same range as consecration, but frontal, so we are still AOE tanks. Also, the consecration cd is increased from 8 to 30s, but the cd on hammer is from 6 to 3 seconds, where we can spam it.
For the similar AOE effect, prot paladin uses hammer of righteous instead of consecration.

no worries there chief. Shindig blah happens =P ppl couldnt rant w/o them.. Anyhoo im curious as to how the new talent stacks up in raid and was hopeing some new posts might be up..” bored at work using the cell to check in ” i personaly like the changes, as in rotation and holy power..it adds a good dynamic Imo.. Just really not liking the loss in atk power and crit after the respec.. But meh.. Atleast we have a month and a couple weeks to figure it all out.
