So, where were we? Right. Paladin (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/paladin/) changes. While everyone and his mother got whacked by the nerf bat this build, Paladins got little more than a love tap from the devs, making me think that the Light, indeed, is watching over us all. As I mentioned in an earlier post (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/09/11/paladin-changes-in-beta-build-8926-part-i/), while seal damage got nerfed, the new talents and tree shuffles are shaping up to be good for the class.
Holy was left mostly untouched, leaving many Holy Paladins feeling distraught and apprehensive. As I've learned throughout the whole Wrath (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/wrath-of-the-lich-king/) Beta (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/wrath-beta/) experience, it's always just best to... chillax. Don't worry about it. Blizzard changed Beacon of Light (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=53563) last build and it's somewhat overpowered (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/08/30/paladin-changes-in-beta-build-8885/), but even though they've already said they'll tweak it a bit more, they left it as is this build. Everything will balance out in time. For this build, however, Retribution gets a chance to shine -- but so does Protection, and boy, does it shine bright. If you thought Retribution got some love, wait til you see what Protection got.Continue reading Paladin changes in Beta build 8926 part II (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/09/11/paladin-changes-in-beta-build-8926-part-ii/)
