In consideration of blade ward and Reckoning.

[Evangelia]

My current spec is as such:

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?paladin=000000000000000000000000005500513520310231133331232150100000000000000000000000&glyph=000000000000&version=9806

I have 7 points left, Im putting them in either SOTP or reckoning.

So help me with my dilemma.

Put my points in SOTP to have tried and true goodness?

OR

In Reckoning for maxing out Blade Ward by proccing more attacks and thus getting more Blade ward procs?

Whatchu think?

DO NOT COMMENT ON DIVINITY, I AM SCARED OF BOSSES!

Unless you have the expertise to really cut down on how often you are parried, getting reckoning for the purpose of working with blade ward, seems rather counterproductive.

Okay, I am working on getting something going as well. Mine is a switch-up with the crusade build. I feel kinda shady running without some of the abilities I am used to though.

This isn't final, I am just tinkering for now.

Blade Warding is amazingly crap, don't bother trying to optimise it.

Blade Warding is, if even that, made for Warriors. I checked our WWS from crap raid we did to get Vezax down; 8 hours of raiding resulted in 91 Blade Warding procs for our MT warrior. Imo there are better enchants than that for warriors as well, but since it only procs of physical attacks (from what I've read at least) using it on a pala is just bad.

Unless you are Expertise capped (and the mob can't parry you), the more attacks you are gaining the more chance you risk giving the mob parry-haste, meaning you will be taking damage faster. Reckoning is a poor talent for both threat and survival.

Parry-haste is negligible, and Reckoning's effect on Blade Ward is also negligible. Even if you double the proc rate it's a long way from being worth actual talent points.
