Hammer of the Righteous is the Paladin Tank New Deal (BETA)

[Dorvan]

It should be noted that, even with normalization, instant weapon attacks still favor slow weapons.

True, just not nearly to the extent that un-normalized ones do. You'll still want a slower waepon for any given tier...you just won't end up in a situation where you're using a weapon 3 tiers below your gear level because of it's unusually slow speed.

[Kagi]

has someone tried testing it while using full ret gear? would be cool to see what kind of dmg it can do with 2000+ap and a 3.80 speed weapon, might give prot some more options during fights that only require 1 tank (and guild still followed the war MT onry ideas).

It's 1H only, like Devastate.

Just wondering if this will be a possible nail in the coffin for Reckoning in a prot build.

If we're looking at HotR scaling nicely with a weapon speed > 2.4 seconds then we'd not get best use out of reckoning...The question is, would getting a max of 3 swings from a reckoning proc still be worth it vs points placed elsewhere?

Sorry if I've missed a similar question already:


if it's acting like an aoe-lite devastate, what do warriors traditionally do? They just use the best tank weapon and deal with it? Or it's not really a comparable issue because 50% of weapon damage should be dwarfed by 5*65 from the sunder stack?


(I vaguely remember a similar issue for warriors when devastate came out - more threat from more HS procs on a fast 1h vs more threat from dev on a slow 1h)


(nvm, think it's answered in http://www.failsafedesign.com/maintanka ... c&start=75 ty splug)

[Kagi]

if is 1h only, anyone still tried it with full ret gear but sword/shield? :p

It actually would, it averages out the same, but if you have a slow weapon and you parry, the timer is reset and you get that last reck-ed attack before it's duration is over.Nothing great but no loss at all, it's even that 1% better =P

I posted this in the sticky, but felt it should also be highlighted here:

here is something to keep on the back burner.

Currently HotR is not normalized as testing has shown.

I found this blue response, which in context refers to death knights, but may apply to others later:

There is a bug right now preventing normalized attacks from doing non-physical damage. Frost Strike will be normalized when that bug is fixed. (Obliterate will also be normalized.)

So currently there is a bug preventing normalized attacks from doing non-physical damage (HotR anyone). When they fix it, the death knight abilities will be normalized. We should probably keep an eye on HotR too to see what happens with it.

Hey I posted that on the last page!

Ahh, I probably skipped it because the source wasn't visually identifiable (hidden in the text as an anchored link). My memory isn't great, so if it didn't stick out then, then I most likely forgot it. Sorry.

I mentioned it in the thread about Shield of the Righteous, but when I get home from work tonight (about an hour from now) I am going to be tyring out dps prot spec while wearing full ret + s2 1hand sword and kazrogals shield. Well see what kind of numbers I get.

[Noradin]

Do multitarget seals also proc? Ie 3x SoR procs with hammer on 3 mobs?

Yes

[Sarkan-ZdC]

Is that: I use Hammer with SoV active and have 1 Stack of SoV on 3 Targets true?

They got to be kidding if that is working..

Yes, it seems it does.

now imagine the following (I will make it with Divine Storm since it is the same rule, and is more for LAWL):

ImbaLoLadin casts Divine Storm
