Yay for only needing 2! Less bloat, hooray!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Yay Divinity in Holy!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Judgements of the Pure is going to be available to any paladin and HOLD THE PHONE. HOLD THE PHONE. That reads NINE percent haste. Not 15. NINE. Check that, 9 percent. And so the nerfage begins.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8230; Divine Light is the name of our big-ass heal? Seriously? Could you <em>really<\/em> not think of a better name?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Beacon is only good for Holy Light and Holy Shock redirects. Okay. So basically, I&#8217;m going to use it the same way as I use it now; on a tank who is also being healed by someone else.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; WTF, Inspired Judgement heals my beacon for the amount of damage the judgement caused? Really? Is this a &#8220;fun&#8221; talent?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; At least Illumination returns to the less-bloaty. I still want that 30% bumped back up to 100%, Blizzard. I have not forgotten the Great Illumination Nerf of Burning Crusade.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Again, Improved Concentration Aura looks fairly lackluster, assuming they don&#8217;t change the pushback mechanics again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Aura Mastery stays the same. Still want this back to 10 seconds. :P<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Great. I have to spend a talent point to ensure my Cleanse remains as awesome as it is. Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Selfless Healer is&#8230; blah? I&#8217;m saying this with no experience in terms of healing in Cataclysm, obviously, but why not switch this to 3% crit and it buffs you with 3% haste each time you heal someone else? Or something? THAT would be fun.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Oh, there&#8217;s Divine Illumination, sitting at the bottom of my tree. It&#8217;s almost like it&#8217;s Burning Crusade again! And&#8230; WAIT ONE SECOND HERE. 30% extra crit? What?! WHERE IS MY MANA SAVING TALENT, YOU BASTARDS?!<\/p>\n<p>As if that&#8217;s not bad enough, we cannot get Divine Sacrifice in Prot.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect most holy PVE paladins will have something <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowtal.com\/#k=118hPbujGu.9mn.paladin\" target=\"_blank\">like this<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowtal.com\/#k=118hDWIpm.9mn.paladin\" target=\"_blank\">Or this<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowtal.com\/#k=1184hhjQvB.9mn.paladin\" target=\"_blank\">Or maybe even this<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But the ret support tree for us is dead and we can&#8217;t even grab Divine Sacrifice in prot.<\/p>\n<p>Totally underwhelmed. I don&#8217;t even know if I want to play the paladin in Cataclysm. Then again, I looked at the hunter tree. I don&#8217;t know if I want to play a hunter, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first thoughts: &#8211; Thank God I don&#8217;t have to waste 5 talent points for Spiritual Focus anymore.
