Why/How are people skipping Kings as Prot? Blessing blather.

Maybe an option Blizz could do is to have one regular blessing and one major blessing per paladin. Major BoSanc yourself, then regular Kings yourself, for example.

3% damage reduction is multiplicative and such is likely not even added to our other % damage reduction abilities. Hence it is not actually 3% but less.

Kings increases stamina (and thus health and spellpower), strength (AP and block value - which is both threat and mitigation), agility (which is melee crit (many of our abilities function off of this now), armor and dodge), intellect (which means both more mana from sanctuary if we have it and more mana returned from ret paladin/shadow priest/survival hunters) and spirit.

I haven't had much of a chance to play around with the new 3.0 tree, but my thoughts were Reckoning + Imp Devo over Kings, especially since kings a teir 1 talent that others can pick up. If Reck is indeed 100% useless as you claim, then perhaps it's not as much a priority. Of course, if it's that bad, it will probably get "fixed" before Wrath goes live.

Honestly, for me, it will come down to what group we end up with at 80 when we start raiding. If I'm the only pally in the 10 mans, then I will most definitely be picking it up. However, if we have another pally to pick it up, there are most definitely other places to put those points.

Given the changes to prevent raid stacking etc I think they sholud just stick to 1 blessing per tree, in principle. What use is Kings if each tree has their own specialised blessing which is supposed to be so good everyone wants it? 5-points is too much of a sink to "Progress down the tree" when, if you're intending to spec prot, you can do this very easily without picking up Kings.

That ofc is more of a design philosophy and I think THAT is the issue, not the individual spell effects. Kings should either be removed and baked into everything, or made baseline so that everyone WILL have it instead of having to drop thigns in your spec for it.

Or sanc could be a self buff only not a blessing or whatnot. Call it a hand spell but make it have a longer duration or i dunno.

How about "Glyph of Blessing of Kings: Blessing of Kings is automatically applied to you when you buff yourself with any other blessing."

So far that's how it looks like, but we still miss an 11-pointer to say the least.
