Rumored Additional Paladin 2.3 Changes

The following infos had originally appeared on the EU paladin class forum from a blue (so official) and then was misteriously deleted. Anyway, here are the changes:

•(NEW SPELL)Blessing of Defiance - Greatly increase Paladin's block value. Detail Coming Soon
•(NEW SPELL)Seal Of Protection -5 minutes cooldown Temporarily increase total Paladin Hit Points.Unleashing this Seal's will judge an enemy,decreasing all damage done by judged target. Detail Coming soon
•The Tier 4, Tier 5, Tier6 and all Gladiator Sets have had their Spell Damage removed and the points have been reinvested in other stats, such as Strength and Critical Strike Rating.
•Precision(Protection): Now increase chance to hit with spell as well
•SpellWarding(Protection): Now reduce damage taken by spell by 3/6% instead of 2/4%.
•Weapon Expertise(Protection): In addiction to current effect now Increase Paladin Total hit points by 3/6/9/12/15 per level and convert 1/2/3/4/5% of all damage received in mana.
•Two-Handed Weapon Specialization (Retribution) now also reduces threat caused while wielding a Two-Handed Weapon by 8/16/25%.
•Vengeance (Retribution) duration increased from 15 to 30 seconds and now increases Healing done as well.
•Seal of Command (Retribution) now does 85% Weapon Damage, but is no longer affected by Spell damage.
•Judgement of Command (Retribution) now does holy damage equal to 25% of your Attack Power and 50% when the target is stunned or disoriented and is no longer affected by Spell Damage.
•Crusader Strike (Retribution) cooldown reduced from 10 to 6 seconds and does 110% weapon damage instead of weapon damage plus 40% of your Holy Spell damage.

I tend to take everything with a grain of salt.

Some of it sounds reasonable, some of it sounds too good to be true, which is a good sign of caution.

Especially after they had pretty much released the patch notes on Curse and stated that threat reduction was absolutely not going to happen for Ret. Who knows though. If it does happen Prot Pallies are going to have some awful hard choice when it comes to speccing.

From what little I know, I'd say it would allow Ret Pallies to focus entirely on physical stats and ignore SpellDmg as a whole.

Like Bodhi, I'm skeptical about those changes since some of them just look too good. It seems to be exactly what Pallies (Both Prot and Ret) need right now.


Yes please!
That's another 1k health at 70 and not only a free 5% DR, but it also acts like a mana battery of some sort.

2H Weapon Spec seems like it would grant the much-needed threat reduction. Ret Pallies could also focus entirely on physical stats and the change in tier sets would reflect that.

The new spells would be tasty. To reduce an enemy's damage would be a nice addition in PvP. A damn nice one, for all kinds of Pally.

It all looks great. Just a bit too great. ;)

But, that just doesnt make any sense. How is any of that related to "weapon expertise"? lol. thats my *FAKE* flag right there.

gawd, after reading my OP for the 4th time i realize this stuff is so rediculous that it really wasn't worth posting after all.

i only use about +200 spell dmg in my gear. these changes to SoC, JoC, and CS would be so overpowered if i was able to concentrate on even more melee stats. on the other hand, i look to those abilities for their unmitigated Holy dmg. so this would be a buff and a nerf to those abilities at the same time. either way, they dont fit the pally M.O. and are silly to consider.



this is so delicious tho.


i appologize for posting this garbage.

Ah, no biggie. They're fun to look at and consider, but yeah, too many of them just sound to good, overpowered, and unnecessary for this to be real.

I know these are too good to be true,

when i started giggling uncontrollibly while reading these.

its like a dream come true, and we all know how often dreams come true. other wise they wouldnt be called dreams.
