Paladins have reduced healing threat?Follow

I was reading this page:

http://evilempireguild.org/guides/kenco2.php

I came across this little blurb:



However, asides from this article (and a small reference on wowwiki that probably sources this article), I have never heard about this threat mechanic.

Can anyone confirm or shed some light?

Yup.

Holy pallies should never pull healing aggro. Not sure if it's designed to stop them from tankin, since casting really messes with that uncrusable thing XD. When casting you cant block, that would make it hurt.

Holy pallies should never pull healing aggro, assuming a competent tank.

On a side note, yeah they decided to make healing threat 50% compared to all other healing classes because they were afraid paladins would just use heal threat to hold aggro. It doesn't really apply end-game, however while leveling up I could see it as viable if healing threat was the same as everyone else's.

I don't think the Paladin healing threat scaling knowledge is as common as you think. It's been news to quite a few of my fellow players.


Anyway, thanks to all for the replies. I knew I could count on a response from this community.

no not really, you're only going to heal whatever they take in damage, crit or no crit. You dont get threat for overhealing.
