New pally changes in 3.1

I don’t have a lot of time to comment on these changes at the moment, but here they are, from mmo-champion. All paladins auras had their range extended from 30 yards to 40 yards. Holy Sacred Shield now cannot be on more than one target at any one time. Infusion of Light no longer has [...]

More 3.1 pally changes

I just saw this on mmo-champion tonight: Protection Divine Protection: Cooldown reduced to 3 min. The current CD is 5 minutes! This can be talented down to (2 points in Sacred Duty) 4 minutes but down to 3 and I’m assuming talented, it will be down to two minutes? That’s a HUGE change and very [...]

Tanking gems and enchants

Here are the gems and enchants that are relevant to tanking. This is from my limited prot pally point of view. I don’t know what gems or enchants the other tanks need but I’m sure that most are the same. Enchants Head Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector revered with Argent Crusade Shoulders Greater Inscription of [...]

Announced 3.1 pally changes

The announced changes seem to be prot-pally related, for the most part (source). Blessing of Kings – this spell is now a base ability trainable by all paladins. Blessing of Kings being a baseline talent is AWESOME. This is something the pally community has been raving about for ages. Exorcism – this spell now causes [...]

The only thing that I didn’t like about tanking H Gundrak was that I felt I has too little health. Then I remembered I could make one of the stamina-oriented trinkets that jewelcrafters can make, the Monarch Crab and I would still be above the raid crit cap of 540 defense! I added a Solid [...]

In the very near future, I will be switching from ret to prot. When dual specs are implemented, I’ll be prot and ret (possibly prot and holy). I have a very decent set of tanking gear (including the Bolstered Legplates from Heroic Violet Hold). I just got the 16 expertise JC pattern,  the Precise Scarlet [...]

I dumped 375 skinning and picked up jewelcrafting the day before Wrath of the Lich King was released. A LOT of people told me that I was stupid for doing that. Some pointed out that I should have waited until I accrued enough money to level JC from 1-375 in one day. I can agree [...]

Well, the 3% free hit from precision has been removed from all that were effected by it. Zharhym posted about it in the forums (source). During the transition from patch 2.4.3 to 3.0.3 the following talents were not unlearned properly by some players, resulting in those players still gaining the benefits despite the talents no [...]

Heroic fun

I have been putting it off for a while now but I finally did it, I ran my first (and second) heroic dungeons over the weekend. It started out with a very fast run through regular Halls of Lightning (HoL). I got two very good dps upgrades, hands (Fists of Loken) and shoulders (Pauldrons of [...]

Judgement bug fix is live

The judgement bug has apparently been fixed, according to Ghostcrawler(Source). This is awesome news for all paladins!
