    Default Paladins- Get your Holy Power on! Updated

    Q: What is the goal when re-designing the paladin class? How do you plan to change rotations, talents, etc?
    A. All of the paladin specializations will make use of a new resource called Holy Power. Holy Power accumulates from using Crusader Strike, Holy Shock, and some other talents. Holy Power can be consumed to augment a variety of abilities, including:


    • An instant mana-free heal: Word of Glory
    • A buff to increase holy damage done: Inquisition
    • A massive physical melee attack for Retribution paladins: Templar’s Verdict
    • Holy Shield’s duration is now extended by Holy Power
    • Divine Storm’s damage is now increased by Holy Power



    We also introduced several new heals for Holy Paladins including Healing Hands (an AoE heal-over-time that is applied to all players standing near the paladin), Light of Dawn (a cone heal with a 30-yard range), as well as a new heal called Divine Light, which is similar to a priest's Greater Heal, and the new instant heal mentioned above, Word of Glory.

    Q: Can you give us a sneak peek at one or two of the new Retribution abilities or talents?
    A. Templar’s Verdict: An instant weapon attack that causes a percentage of weapon damage. Consumes all applications of Holy Power to increase damage dealt:


    • 1 Holy Power: 55% Weapon Damage
      2 Holy Power: 125% Weapon Damage
      3 Holy Power: 225% Weapon Damage



    Word of Glory: Consumes all Holy Power to heal a friendly target for a specific amount per application of Holy Power (0 mana cost, 0 cooldown, instant cast).

    Q: If Judgement of Wisdom is being removed from the game, are paladins getting a new Judgement so we don't all have to use Judgement of Light?
    A. There will only be one Judgement spell. This spell places a single debuff on the target with the effects currently associated with Judgement of Light and Judgement of Justice. The Judgement of Wisdom effect has been retired completely

    .Q: Are the improved aura talents going away? They were still present in beta.
    A. If you mean talents like Improved Devotion Aura, then those are gone. We still have talents that, say, increase healing on targets of your auras. Improved Concentration Aura still exists. In genera, though, you shouldn’t have to worry about having raid buffs of different power competing with each other.


    Retribution
    • Divine Storm - An instant weapon attack that causes 20% of weapon damage to up to all enemies within 8 yards. The Divine Storm heals up to 3 party or raid members totaling 25% of the damage caused. Consumes all applications of Holy Power to increase damage dealt:
      1 Holy Power: 22% Weapon Damage
      2 Holy Power: 50% Weapon Damage
      3 Holy Power: 90% Weapon Damage / 20% of base mana, Instant cast
    • Crusader Strike now grants a charge of Holy Power.
    • Inquisition *New* - Consumes Holy Power to increase your Holy Damage by 30%. Lasts 10 sec per charge of Holy Power consumed. / 20% of base mana, Instant cast
    • Conviction is now a Tier 2 talent. Down from Tier 6.
    • Sanctity of Battle is now a Tier 3 talent. Down from Tier 6. Now reduces cooldown of Exorcism by 3/6 secs. (Up from 2/4 secs)
    • Swift Retribution is now a single rank talent increasing melee and ranged attack speed by 20%.
    • Fanaticism (Tier 4) is now Improved Judgement (Tier 2) - Increases the damage of your Judgement spell by 15% and decreases its cooldown by 3 sec.
    • Judgements of the Wise now grants you 40% of your base mana over 10 sec. (Old - immediately grants you 25% of your base mana)
    • The Art of War is now a Tier 4 talent, down from Tier 3. It now has a 15/30% chance to proc from any melee attack (Old - 100% proc from Critical) and no longer reduce the casting time of Holy Light.
    • Seals of Retribution is now a Tier 4 talent. Up from Tier 3.
    • Eye for an Eye is now a Tier 1 talent. Up from Tier 2. It now gives you a 5/10% chance to cause 30% of the damage taken back to the attacker.
    • Righteous Vengeance is now a Tier 6 talent. up from Tier 2.
    • Improved Judgements is now Improved Crusader Strike - Increases the damage of your Crusader Strike by 15/30% and decreases its cooldown by 1.5/3 sec.
    • Heart of the Crusader is now a Tier 3 (Up from Tier 1) single-rank (Down from 3 ranks) talent.

    Can you please elaborate, DLoweinc?

    This seems manageable to multibox, but maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, lol. I'll admit. I don't multibox paladins.

    'Move Anything' lets you increase the size of anything on the window. I use this for my slave's minimaps so I can use them for tracking. Very useful with my Hunters. Also, this sounds like Death Knights, Rogues, Druids, and Paladin classes are gonna be very similar in combat now with the Holy Power stacks on enemies. Just like combat points or that one spell for DKs, sorry can't remember, been a while since I played'em, where there more you got, the more powerful the spell is to use them. Can't wait to try them out tho. Man I hope there's gonna be a way to track these on main toons like Procs with Jamba. I finally geared my main Pally in tanking gear to take on ICC, I hope the Ret gear won't be a waste right now to try and get for my slaves. I haven't been reading up on the changes, kinda wanna wait and see the final version. Any tips on which route would be best? Was thinkin about goin after PvP sets with Emblem of Triumphs, but would a Holy or Ret set be better to grab for my team?

    I am just thinking that ret palis may not have the versatility that they do now. If one judgement provides what three judgements do now, perhaps I shouldn't shoot for an all pali group. There are some huge game changing things coming, that is for sure. I'm just thinking about the best reward for my time investment (and I know that the best investment is what is fun for me, but everyone likes feeling OP). I don't want to have any regrets ... Only time will tell

    The point of an all pally group was not the judgments....

    I'm not saying that it was, of course at lvl 52 I don't think I really know that I've been able to experience it yet. I love the utility offered so far. I guess my reply was somewhat selfish regarding the news that came from the Twitter chat yesterday.

    But honestly, the news did make me second guess spending another few weeks leveling up another team because let's be honest, no one wants to devote a few months of time into something that is then no good.

    Like I said, that''s something everyone should come to expect from expansions and even large patches. Even small patches, depends on Blizz's mood. Especially as a multiboxer. People end up changing compositions all the time because Blizzard changes {or UNchanges} something or to try something that might work better or because something didn't work out as well as expected. That's what RAF, boosting and heirlooms are for.

    I can't even count how many full and partial teams I've leveled up before settling on my current one. Heck, I've even leveled up toons I have absolutely no intention of playing just because maybe someday I might. I've stuck with the healer and tank on this one, but the rest used to be all warlocks that I replaced one at a time. And before that, I probably went through about 5 other "main" teams. And I'm not even a FotM kind of player, that's all just figuring out what I really, really liked to play as a team instead of as individual characters!

    Can't get attached to anything with an evolving game, just play what you enjoy until it's not fun anymore, then feel free to move on to something else. At the end of the day, you'll still have them in reserve in case you want to dust them off.

    It's not about being able to multibox it. It's about auras and judgements (certain ones at any rate) going away. One of the big benefits of a 4-5 paladin group was that you could stack auras and judgements so you got almost all pally benefits at the same time. It looks like that's going away, but we'll have to see how they do it exactly.

    Also, $5 says Healing Hands (the AoE HoT they mentioned) will not stack x5. If it does, it may not matter what happens to JoLight.
