Imp Righteous Fury to 10%

by **honorshammer** » Mon Sep 15, 2008 8:14 am

One of the constant issues I see raised against Protection Paladins is the belief (founded or unfounded) that Paladins take more damage than Warriors over the course of the fight.

The disparity between Defensive Stance 10% damage reduction versus Righteous Fury's 6% damage reduction is often cited. I don't know if the Death Knights or Druids have an anologous skill to RF/DS or what the damage reduction is.

I believe it would make balancing the classes much easier if Righteous Fury was simply a 10% damage reduction to match Defensive Stance.

10% and a option to turn it on/off without mana cost and I would be very happy. Un purgeble ofc.

Raise your hand if you've tanked a progression boss and realized during the fight that your Righteous Fury is/is about to be gone.

Isn't that why they gave us mana pots?

I'm still hoping for that change to happen. It's long due ...

@Rothes : Since Tankadin (the addon) and Pally Power both provide visual feedback, announcing when your RF is off / about to go off, I've had no trouble noticing it beforehand. But it used to happen all the time before.

Thats why I use smartbuff, it auto-buffs Righteous fury / aura of your choice when you are out of combat and there is X% of the buff remaining.

Means you never go into a fight with Crusader Aura up and no RF!

The only downside is when I respecced ret and forgot to turn off the RF auto-buff, died rather fast then lol

<==Guilty at like the worst possible time. I transferred to a new server/guild and didn't have tankadin setup right so on my tanking debut in SSC for them I had horrible problems with the trash between Hydross and Letharis the Blind.

powa aura set to display a HUGE graphic in the middle of your screen when RF is not active will pretty much end forgetting to put rf up again

I have to agree. If they gave us the same avoidance levels, and the only difference (realistically) was the 4%, it'd be one thing, but when combined with many other factors, it should probably be done. It might be unfair for Holy Paladins in PvP, but they need help anyway.

Recently on the PTR I ran half SP Heroic without the RF :oops:

Well, I did wonder why some guys got close to me on threat, but I never really lost aggro if they didn't attack a target that I didn't judged. Amazing how much threat we can do, since on of the main DPSers was a SWP Warrior that DWed the sword from Archie and the S4 2h Sword.

I haven't had RF falling off problems since I got tankadin, but I'd still lke to see the duration removed.
