Questions about my pallyFollow

Recently started playing my Pally again. He was my original toon from way back. He had been holy when there was only one spec available. I now have him dual spec-ed into Ret. He is currently at lvl 75.

Through some reading done on EJ I have started to judge wisdom instead of light. Is this the most common when in groups/raids as well??

The main thing that I haven't really seen an answer about is Bless of Kings or Bless of Might. When I group up I normally place kings on myself. Is that the best action?? or should I be using Might instead?? Currently with a lower amount of Str, kings ends up giving me ~1/2 the amount of AP compared to the amount that might gives.

Thanks for any info.

Judgements - use whatever is most useful for the current encounter. I find myself using WIsdom most of the time, but if I'm running some of the more difficult content or I don't have an overgeared tank/healer, I'll use Light instead.

Blessings - someone can correct me if I'm wrong here, but Might will be the better Blessing of the 2. Situations where this isn't the case though are when you have a Warrior present who will keep up Battle Shout. That way you can have the AP and 10% stat boost of Kings.

You'd need about 3K Strength for Kings to become superior to Might, if only looking at AP. The crit gain from it is so minimal that it shouldn't matter much in the calculation.

That's the way it goes--I don't think any class can get enough raw stats to make up for the loss of the AP for might. Unless you really need the small bit of Int and Spirit you'd get, give yourself Might.

Always give Rogues Might, since they will have too small an amount of Agi/Str to even come close to Might (a lot of their itemization is spent on AP, so they don't gain as much from Kings). Same with cat Druids. I'd give DKs Might, too.

Give tanks Kings unless they request Might (or if someone has Kings drums).

Casters it is up in the air. Kings gives them a minor amount of Crit and some Mp5. Wisdom gives them a much higher amount of Mp5. Assume Wisdom. Except Pally Healers will probably want Kings. Locks may want Kings too. All demons but Imps want Might (unless they plan to tank an add or something, then Kings). Imps want Wisdom, probably. All Hunter pets want Might.

Kings is that awesome extra buff you get when there are two Pallies, generally. I just carry Kings drums with me and make it easy. BoM/BoW them and then I'll give 8% to stats.

One more thing about blessings - Wisdom competes with Mana Spring Totem and Might with Battle Shout. If you don't have the improved version of your talent and the Shaman/Warrior in your party does, yours will be overwritten. Because of this, I do Might/Wisdom + Forgotten Kings in most 5-mans, but 75%-90% of the time end up with Kings across the board in raids, or at best Kings/Wisdom if there's another totem that makes sense for a specific fight.

Was going to start a new topic, but knew there must be one here already :-)


Paladins, please buff. I get grouped with another paladin, and feel like a kid inside, oh boy! 2 blessings, 2 auras, sweet...


Then after we start the instance, I realize the other paladin hasn't renewed any buffs... and is running the same aura as I am... ... um....


I don't like saying anything, but normally at the beginning of the run with another pally, i will whisper them and say "I'll cover kings on all in group if you can hit each with might/wisdom". It has worked before, but it just seems most paladins don't give a crap if the group is buffed or not.


If i'm the only pally in the group, I hit priests/mages with wisdom and kings for druids, hunters, shaman, and might for warriors and rogues. This can vary of course, for bear form/cat form or if the shaman asks for wisdom instead...


How many of ya glyph for improved blessings? Really would if it made them 30 minute buffs to everyone, but as it is I have the blessing of kings one right now, but no others.

Yeah i don't even bother asking other pallys in randoms, i just buff might/wis and use drums of kings that way everyone has 2 buffs even if i'm the only pally.
