State of paladin boosting in cata?

It sucks but the reason I don't like it is because of instances. Lot of the new bosses spawn adds so timing your consecrate will be crucial. It's one more thing to think about that I don't really want to think about.

Anyway in regards to boosting - I just park my guys and pull as much as I can then drop consecration. So not really going to matter in that aspect for me. I'm holding off to boost until Cataclysm so I can use Scholo/Strat and the new level ranges which I imagine will make boosting even easier.

That non-spam concecration is a big big hit to me I use it all the time to tag with.

Will see how it turns out .... way to soon to speculate.

Doesn't the the new consecration also move with the paladin? You don't drop it , you turn on the damage aura basically?

I have to think that the silencing shield (while on a 1min cooldown) ability has some 'tag' effect to it. Might help with those frog spamming mega zf pulls.

This is a good thing. This helps move WoW away from the "Everyone is a winner" concept they have taken. People will actually have to start thinking again.

As for the change killing boosting, I don't think it will for the reasons mentioned above. Just change from spamming it to pulling more mobs at one time. With the increase in stats this shouldn't be a problem even for a newly dinged 80+ toon in quest gear.

Maybe for solo playing in Pug/Guild runs but as for boxing I really don't want to have to think about timing my consecrations. Of course it is easy that isn't the point really. It's a tedious mechanic and a nerf any way you cut it. Nerfs suck.

As a boxer you already have enough things to think about. But WOW isn't designed around boxing so we roll with the punches. I understand why they did it in light of solo play- there it makes sense.

Ah well just bitching some. I'm so ready for Cataclysm it's going to be fun just having it in my hands. Over the past 5 years of playing I've had to change and adapt more than once. Just hoping they aren't going too nuts with the nerf bat.
