Another Cataclysm Beta build is being deployed and it seems we get another nerf. We must be packing one hell of a punch at level 85, because with Crusader Strike dropping from 150% to 115% weapon damage, and now this latest decrease to Seal of Truth, it would seem Blizzard is trying to tone down […]
Cataclysm Beta – Build 13241
November 10, 2010 By 2 Comments
The Divine Storm changes Blizzard hinted at are now live on the Beta servers. Divine Storm no longer costs Holy Power, but mana instead. It will share a cooldown with Crusader Strike, and will also be affected by Haste as well. It looks as if we will definitely have to choose between Crusader Strike and […]
Ret Soloing Magister’s Terrace 4.0.1
November 10, 2010 By 8 Comments
I have had a few comments wanting an update on soloing Burning Crusade dungeons. Magister’s Terrace is by far the most popular for all the extra goodies hidden inside, and that’s where I started. I already have a page dedicated to soloing Magister’s Terrace, for both normal and Heroic versions. Harder or Easier? Easier, by […]
Divine Storm Change Incoming?
October 31, 2010 By 11 Comments
A bit of optimism is here for Divine Storm enthusiasts (which I think most of us are…at least pre Patch 4.0.1). Divine Storm currently uses Holy power instead of mana, and can really only be used at 3 Holy Power in order to be effective. In AoE situations, Divine Storm cannot be used nearly as […]
Expertise Cap Confirmed By Blizz
October 29, 2010 By 6 Comments
The Expertise Cap for Retribution Paladins did indeed change with Patch 4.0.1. Ghostcrawler said it was an unintentional change, and the Expertise Cap should be back to 26 at level 85. For now, it seems we only need 23 Expertise to reach the Expertise Cap! [Source] Ghostcrawler: Due to recalibrating expertise for Cataclysm, level 80-83 […]
Ret Paladins – Cata Beta Build 13221
October 27, 2010 By 16 Comments
Cataclysm Beta build 13221 is live on servers, and has brought about some more changes for our beloved Retribution Paladins. At first, looking at the notes, I was about to /facepalm, thinking Blizz was backtracking on our recent buffs. The more I looked at it however, the more I realized they are just doing some […]
Retribution Leveling Pre-Cataclysm
October 26, 2010 By 11 Comments
Have you decided to level a Ret Paladin before Cataclysm launches? I did. I figured making another Retribution Paladin would get me used to the 4.0.1 changes before Cataclysm went live. I am not regretting it one bit. This time around I opted for a Dwarf Paladin, with Herbalism and Inscription as my professions. If […]
Blizzcon Retribution Specific
October 24, 2010 By 4 Comments
Holy Spells Only? Q: Other classes have multiple types of schools, Paladins holy only. And there’s nothing to allow you to resist it. Why is that? It makes them feel like a steamroller. A: That’s why we’ve changed it over time for Ret to have more physical abilities than holy. We can’t really give them […]
Retribution Expertise Cap Confusion
October 22, 2010 By 8 Comments
Ret Expertise Confusion Patch 4.0.1 There has been some confusion on the Retribution Paladin Expertise cap now that Patch 4.0.1 is in full swing. Our hit cap changed, and it appears our expertise cap shifted as well. I have told you guys that the Expertise cap for Ret Paladins is now 22 Expertise. Tooltips with […]
New Ret Paladin Hit and Expertise Caps 4.0.1
October 19, 2010 By 26 Comments
We have new hit and expertise caps as Retribution Paladins with the stat changes brought about in Patch 4.0.1. I knew the hit cap had changed, and was holding off on posting the expertise change until we had more concrete proof. For those players new to the hit cap and expertise cap concerning Ret Paladins, […]
