reckoning change perhaps?

I haven't tested anything out in a serious raid situation yet (since we dont have any at the moment post nerf) or at level 80, but it seems like with all the nerfs there are people complaining about not being able to use all spells (namely consecrate) for generating threat because of nerfs to JoW.

If this is true, what if reckoning had a chance to proc on block that the next consecrate or judgement or mix of them had its mana cost reduced by a certain percent. Since its a block proc the ret tree wouldn't have use for it, and it would help keep full rotations up if BoS isn't enough on a slow hitting mob.

Just a thought, might suck and havn't done any serious thought but figured it would be worth spitballin out there. It would at least make reckonig not be horribad, ESPECIALLY if they made it a 3pt talent to help unlock things further down the tree at 70.

We had a talent that gave a chance to proc a lower-cost Consecrate early on in beta, but it was reworked to be a flat percentage and eventually removed when they decided they didn't want Consecrate to be a constant part of our single target tanking rotation anymore. I wouldn't expect to see it come back, as Sanctuary more than covers our mana costs when AOE tanking.

With the nerfed judgement tps would it be worth reconsidering consecration in a rotation for the threat even when not aoe tanking? Like I said, can't really compare this to anything at 80 atm, but unless I'm fighting a pack of mobs for BoS, my mana returns using BoS + SA aren't so great. Then again, my guild is only doing heroics/kara for peoples alts until wrath now so maybe its just an overgearing issue.

Ah well, just a thought, thanks for the reply

Consecration still is a part of our single target threat rotation, when mana allows. It's just fairly clear that Blizzard wants it to be at least something we have to think about, and thus probably isn't likely to make it any easier for us to continue spamming it.

If your healer's bored and you want more mana to play with, you can always use SoB right? ^^;

Just rework it to look like these druid/warr talents respectively :
Natural Reaction / Improved Defensive Stance
Because atm BoSanc can affect them but we do not have something similar

Make it proc on avoid (or on each parry) and those extra strikes holy damage instead of physical.

Reckoning: Does the same thing BUT,

Each extra attack caused by reckoning also causes holy damage based on how many stacks of holy vengenace you have on the target.

Basically, it throws another tick plus weapon damage.

Sucks that it's so far in that no other spec can get it, and too cruddy for any Prot to take it...seriously.

Also, maybe couple each extra attack with like a 1%HP healed with each attack while under the influence of recokoning. That might make it worth while, or for PvP hybrid.
