3.0.2 Prot Paladin Boosting is so much easier!

Man oh man. All of the changes that give prot paladins more Instant abilities are great for boosting. I throw my hammer every CD, my shield every CD, and spam consecration.

The best part though, is the change to Blessing of Sanctuary. Now you regen mana from doges/parries/blocks. I am nearly always at 100% mana in SM Cath. I also have 5 points in ret for lower mana for instant spells. I also can self heal for much more as full prot now. Before, it would take 3-4 holy lights to get me from 10% to 100%, and now 2 will do the trick.

Now, it seems that I am only limited by how much HP i have. I haven't yet tried a single pull of cath, but It may be possible. I can easily pull everything but Mograine and friends, then finish mograine off. I also notice my single target dps is a big better too. Especially since I have more mana. I bet if I just stacked Stamina, I could last indefinately, and just bubble heal every CD.

It's a shame they nerfed Zolo, Other than getting my gear tore up, I remembered running low on HP/Mana from self healing. Maybe I'll try the Baron skeleton trick

Yeah, you could get into trouble if you're not careful. But for boosting, yeah, you want to make sure you aggro em all, and the extra damage and stun doesn't hurt either. Nevertheless, BoSanct is now even more awesome for AOE tanking. Even if cast on other tanks, the way the spell is designed. Be awesome for warrior/DK/Druid tanks too

Be careful with throwing the shield every cool down - might get extra adds. OK for boosting, bad for proper leveling instances / heroics.

Could be fun in Karazhan though.

It's really dumb the crazy bouncing of the shield when pulling and since it's the only way to pull humans/beasts/... there's not much of a choice, either that or body pulling.
It's one of the things they're going to correct next patch - bouncing will be reduced to 10y from the current 15y.

New patch limited bounce from 15 yards to 10 . should help with unwanted adds

Any chance you could link how you are specced? And will that change after todays patch?
