I normally don’t give a damn about incoming changes, so long as the class is still fun to play but this latest batch is a killer in my opinion. From the forums, here is the nerf post (source). I know many of you asked good questions before the posts hit their limit. I am not [...]

I finally dinged level 70 on my paladin Sunday morning! I had a lot of spell upgrades, including Blessing of Might, Rank 8 and Avenging Wrath! My pally finally has her wings! It seems like I’ll have to wait for boss fights and/or soloing elites to use them though, since I seem to blow through [...]
I wrote a post about the paladin nerfs this morning. There was finally an official comment from a Blizzard employee, known as Ghostcrawler (source). As I stated yesterday, we are happy with Ret’s PvE damage and sustatined damage in PvP, but were concerned that the burst damage in PvP could be too high. We discussed [...]
There are now three judgment spells, Judgement of Light, Judgement of Wisdom and Judgement of Justice. The standard holy damage dealt by Judgement spells is 20% of attack power plus 32% of spell power; some seals may increase this amount (source). Judgement of Light restores is 18% of the casting paladin’s current attack power plus [...]

From what I’ve read around the internet, 3.0.2 prot and ret paladins should now be stacking strength. You gain spellpower from attack power (AP). You gain AP from strength. If talented (Divine Strength, 5 talent points = +15% strength), you gain 2.3 attack power from every point of strength. Ret pally’s should have been stacking [...]
So it looks as if all the crying by other classes that say that retribution paladins are OP (overpowered) have prevailed. One of the new spells, Divine Storm, and one of the reworked spells, Seal of Light, were nerfed. Divine Storm was nerfed by making the damage physical whereas it was holy damage. The nerf [...]
At 70, you 2 major glyphs and 3 minor glyphs. At 80, you get 3 major and 3 minor glyphs. The major glyphs that I plan to get at level 70 are Glyph of Judgment, which increases damage from judgments by 10% and the a Glyph of Seal of Command, which increases the chance of [...]

On Sunday night, I tanked for the second time. I tanked slave pens so that I could finish up a quest that netted me 22k experience and some rep. I’d like to get to honored with Sporeggar so that I can buy the best AoE grinding shield for pallys, the Petrified Lichen Guard! I only [...]

I went to bed last night only 20k experience from 67 and I had to go to sleep in preparation for coming to work today. I got dressed and showered rather quickly for some reason and had some time to play before work. I’m in Nagrand at the moment after I flew threw Zangarmarsh and [...]
