Patch 3.2.2Follow

Yeahm, and the ret change sort of makes sense--pretty sure the intent was for command to be the multi-target seal and vengeance to be the single-target, so making in do additional damage to nearby mobs is reasonable. Does command proc on divine storm? will each of those four hits proc twice more? hmmm. Of course, they could have also managed this by making SotP affect all seals, not just SoR and SoV.

Thanks for pointing out the reason for the prot change. I only do prot and ret, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why they were making an effectively neutral change to the talent :)

I agree. I'm even switching out my libram for the Divine storm boost one on trash packs. I havent tied it to my seal yet as a macro but I might go that route. For now I just made an extra set of gear in Item rack one Ret Boss, and the other Ret Trash.

I did just barely remember to switch back to the Valiance libram in time for Mimiron 25 last night though so it will take some mental adjustment for it to be routine.

Totally nuts. I hope I get to play with it a bit before they realize it's broken.

I had an extra point in my 5/11/55 build anyway that I threw in vindication for soloing stuff like Threat from Above, ( God I love soloing that while a group of 2-3 squishies stands around waiting for their 4th)

Guess I'll be throwing that point in SoC.

Yeah I saw a screenshot of it bouncing and proccing off of DS for like 13 hits over at EJ...

Thanks for posting that tab. I was actually just coming here to post it myself :)

I wouldn't think so since they moved kings to general training rather than through a tree because most paladins got it or tried to get it since it is often the blessing of choice for many, whereas Sanctuary is the domain of a tankadin.

Unless, of course, they will try to use that as a reason to make prots more valuable (unlikely since tanks are always highly sought) or sanctuary becomes a general item as well? Still, it wouldn't provide the same boost of + to all stats that kings does.

There is supposed to be a revamp of all talents in the Cataclysm expansion so maybe they will consolidate some redundant/semi-redundant talents as well as moving the passive ones?

I think we're going to see something in the future where Sanctuary is removed as its own blessing, and instead repalced by a talent in prot tree that makes kings function in addition to 10% stat change, provide the current damage and mana restoration functionality as our current blessing of sanctuary. Another alternative would be to put the mana/damage reduction ability of sanctuary in improved righteous fury.

Personally, I would *prefer* one of these options.
