Fun ideas for knew seals, blessings, AurasFollow

(DISCLAIMER) I was unable to find a post like this so if you do please dont sub-default me on this.

I also would not like to hear about a change in how auras, blessings, and seals work or changes to current ones. Just new ideas for ones.

I in no way would want all of these implimented these are purly for fun and making creative ideas on giving this class ,that we all love, intersting new spells.

Some of my own ideas include:

Blessing of pursuit: same shared cooldown as BoF, Causes Friendly target to move 40-60% faster for the equal duration of BoF.

Seal of the Inquisition: has a chance on hit to apply the torture debuff which decreases run speed by X and makes the target more vulnerable to fire and physical damage for 20sec but does not get refreshed with melee hits unless it procs again.
Judging this seal consumes the torture debuff causing X amount of fire damage and interupts casting.

Fanatical Aura: Decreases the armor of you and your allies buy 10% but increases damage done from all sources by 15%.

I hope I didn't make too many typos and ask that people have input to this.

I thought I was gonna find this thread annoying, but I have to say...



I'd get behind anything that increases fire damage the enemy takes.

Fanaticism aura from the pallies in Diablo 2 even if its way OP.

+Hit
+attack speed
+damage

or a Ret pally Fanaticim blessing

+200 AP
+haste
+100 Spell damage

you know, give us a reason to be in a raid. compared to totems, that blessing is still pretty weak.

All I can say is Arcane Resistance Aura PLEASE ^^

>.> my keen awarness senses sarcasm :P but then again......racing stripes would be cool.....

Didn't we have just "Resistance" Aura" or whatever it was called in beta? Gave resistance to Frost/Fire/Shadow? Would be a lot more convenient.

would need it nurffed or peeps would scream op. need it do do like 1/3rd the seal or so depending on wich seal. i mean if not you just put aoehealers out of a job for healing the melee peeps in raid. or you just killed raid mob in 1 min due to everyone stacking vengence or useing righteous. or maybe instead of 1/3rd the power of the orgin seal could put it on big timer say 15-20 min or so maybe even 30. and only have it last as long as the seal is on you. so vengence would stop ticking on the mob as soon as the seal wears off you.

some nice idea's though.

I think they split that original Aura into 3 cause it was "OP" to have that much resistance to 3 different schools at a time from one spell. I don't know, I read about it in a post long ago where someone was talking about the downfall of Paladins from original concept to the (then) current state (think it was around patch 1.8 or so). It also discussed why Paladin's undead only spells don't work on Forsaken (cause they did in Beta) and some other issues (Beta also had far different buffs then the current Paladin).

Also I'd like to amend my previous post by saying that I've heard a rumor from multiple sources that Paladins will be getting an Arcane Resistance Aura for WotLK. I can't confirm this at all though, so don't quote me on it :)

And just before someone says it: no, we don't need Nature Resistance Aura. Hunters have that taken care of ;)

Taken from an earlier idea in this thread and improved!


Blessing of the One Man Army:

Last for 2 mins, 10 min cooldown. Each seal or ability you use is given to each member of your group/raid. Seals, when judged, also judges each seal in the raid is also judged with slightly reduced crit chance (based on the Paladin's chance, not the player who had the seal). While active, causes member to take 150% normal damage but ignores incapacitating effects and increases all resistances by 50.




Can you imagine? As if Huntsman wasn't trivial enough already. 10 JoV in his face with Avenging Wrath on everybody and he'd lose a good chunk of health. Wipe happening? DIVINE SHIELD LOLOLOLOL! 12 seconds of free damage!

Even better, cast it on Warlock. Whoop, everyone now has Demon armor. Off we go! Or a Fury warrior. Oh look, Flurry procced. Everybody's attack speed just increased by 30%!

Now, take a second to contemplate multiple paladins in a raid. Now imagine a Rogue with Flurry, Divine Shield, Heroism, Windfury and one big monster to hit. Carnage ensues.

Might be a dumb idea, but what about leaving in our current Resist Auras while also giving us 1 additional Aura that gives Fire, Frost, and Shadow Resistance, but at a reduced amount? Of course still wouldn't stack with other Paladin Auras, but would give us the option of one Aura to use with multiple caster types around, the current Auras for specific casters, and not be OP.

Shaman nearly got a MS effect, but people complained too many classes were getting other class' abilities making their distinctions less and less (among other things). I personally don't want us to get something that another class/other classes have, I would want something that only Paladins have.

Giving Ret Paladins a MS effect wouldn't make raids "need" a Ret Paladin cause they could bring a Warrior for the same effect with better DPS (or Hunter now, though not as optimal).

here is my idea for a seal that has even more burst damage potenial than SoC.


Seal of the Divine: has a 5-10% chance to make a critical strike do double/triple or even quadruple damage.

Judging the seal increases chance to crit made by all attack on the target increase by 5-10%

Now how many people are going to want that smashing them in the face.

It could be a 41 or 31 point talent in the ret tree and have talents to increase the chance on crit to happen.

If you ask me when this procs you have some huge damage unload on the target.

OR if that seal dosent quite do it for you here is Ver No. 2

When a paladin crits he does an additional HUGE amount of holy damage.

I want to say something along the lines of making scale with your intellect or strength.

why not a judgement, or a blessing that increases the chance to hit with spells and melee? put that in the bottom of the ret tree. Or near it.
