Places a Blessing on the friendly target, increasing total stats by 2% for 10 min. Players may only have one Blessing on them per Paladin at any one time.



Improved Blessing of KingsRank 4

Increases the effectiveness of Blessing of Kings by an additional 8%.

So now according to wowhead.comto get the 10% bonus that we have now we need to spend 5 talents in prot tree in WotLK

I find this disturbing. I see no reason to have to spend 4 more talents then i do now for the same buff ....

your thoughts?


PS: http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=s is a link to the new talent calculator that they have on the site. It looks like they are trying to force prot paladins to take reckoning to move down the tree as well.

I'm happy to spend 5 instead of 11 like I spend now...

[Haylianna]

Well im looking at it from a prot pally point of view so for me its like wasting 4 talents

[Haylianna]

Well im making a warrior tank anyways but i just thought it wasnt right to make you spend 5 for it as a prot pally over 1. Most the time paladins get it for groups anyways not themselfs

[Falkor]

with the new abilitys and talents the warrior is going to be an extremely impressive tank!

[Haylianna]

well i had thought about going and doing a Warrior tank and pally healer for that but i cant get a good pally build for it so ganna stick with priest healer

[daviddoran]

A few other skills have had their number of ranks removed, so the net result is the same, and improved Righteous Fury is no longer there, cause its abilitys are part of the base skill. They want kings to be more accessible, but they cant make it too easy to get. I think it will get pretty balanced, and with the first few patches, everything will be good.

When I was pally tanking in raids I never specced for any buffs but Sanctuary. I let the other paladins worry about buffing me ;|

[Stabface]

Because +15% Strength for yourself is way better than +10% to all stats for everyone else, right?

Blessing of Kinds < Blessing of Sanc

What "kinds" of blessings are you talking about?

with the new changes, Kings is looking like it may only be a raid buff, while Sanc is the new tanking blessing. 3% damage reduction plus 2% mana per block is looking pretty good.
