I am also in Beta with a lvl 85 pally and crusader strike has become our main spell. We get that at lvl 1 now. So far I have been trying different rotations because FCFS is dead. We now have to use a rotation that can let us last a fight. Along with the new gear the old t10 doesn’t hold up. I been running Tol Barad the new WG PVP area and just to take down some of the lvl 85 NPC’s I have to eat after most every fight or use my healing spells. Going to be interesting to see what the finial Pally rotation will be.

I’m concerned seriously about Divine Plea since on my tank build it is very useful. Tank pallys actually need mana for tanking and having 0 mana = no threat (since we do threat with holy dmg mostly).

With that in mind, I have no idea if any talent will tweak this, but on paper, it looks like tank pallys will have mana issues unless they can bring their avoidance to 100 % ( and not mitigation ) so that blessing of sanctuary do it’s work on every hit.

i am currently in the beta and i can tell you that i practically never use consecration. only when doing stuff like killing alot of mobs in DM or something like that. my paladin is at 5944GS i know that dosnt say mych but i know what im doing kinda xD and my consecraton only ticks for roughly 200 at level 83. that combined with the high manacost and low damage simply isnt worth spending a global cooldown for. on another note i havnt experienced any mana issues yet and i never go below whatever the spell costs because of a huge manaregen. it only goes low when you start to throw even the smallest heal so you can only afford doing 2 or 3 heals wich are slow and small so that isnt really worth it either unless you are really low onhealth really really low….

Blizzard will have atleast 8 to 10 more builds we can look forward to.

With all these changes I feel like every time a new build is out we are closer to our current state, but obviously that’s a very swallow perception from me.
