0/44/17

This is what I've been running with since the patch, and my thoughts on it.

Cons:

3/5 Anticipation means it's harder to be uncrushable again. On Kael I'm actually crushable until a shaman puts down GoA, because of the large amounts of stamina I'm stacking.

3/5 OHWS means my threat is a bit lower, though I'm finding the buffed SotC makes up for it on bosses (and I don't care about trash).

No Blessing of Kings might be a problem for ZA, though our guild is quite paladin-heavy, so I don't expect it to be. Hasn't even raised eyebrows in 25-mans.

No Reckoning - I didn't have it in my old 0/49/12 either. Smile

Pros:

3/3 Precision seems very nice - it's noticeable in my WWS parses.

I kept 2/2 Spell Warding.

We don't have a ret paladin, so picking up 5/5 Imp Bom and 3/3 Imp SotC are nice raid buffs that it's harder for our holy palas to pick up.

1/2 Imp Judgement fits into my rotation just as well as 2/2, I'm finding.

Lastly I picked up 3/3 PoJ. I was hesitant about it until last night when I totally resisted a Pyroblast from Kael when I was at 95% health - could have easily killed me. While I realise that it's not likely to happen very often, it seems irresponsible to not take an avoidance talent when, for the moment, my threat is fine.

I would recommend at least trying out this build on T5 content (and, I'd guess, T6). If you're struggling to hit uncrushable in T4 it's probably worth taking 1/5 OHWS (for 5-mans/heroics/kara, your threat will be fine) and 5/5 Anticipation.

Imp. Blessing of Might?? hmm...interesting. Not sure if i'll ever do that. Benediction ftw.

It sure is a build i haven't seen before or found out myself when using talenbuilders.

I'd lose the 1 point in Imp Judgement and put it into Anticipation though.

Imp BoM is a grotesque waste of talent points. It adds 7 DPS per recipient. -SEVEN-.

Drop it, get your One Handed Weapon Spec back up to max, get that last point in imp judgment and put 1 more point back into anticipation if you really need it.

I have a very similar build and I've been enjoying it Smile

Three less points into Ret tho. No PoJ Sad I do have Kings and 5/5 OHWS. I'm usually the only paladin in ZA and I like my stamina. I would have a hard time losing points in OHWS too. PoJ is tempting, tho . . .

I really like my PoJ, but it's definitely a subtle talent.
