New Paladin Level 100 talents for Warlords of Draenor

We have the new talents that were on preview today for the new expansion Warlords of Draenor.  Here are the Paladin talents (I am including the Prot & Ret talents for reference as well:

First Talent Choice: The Light Within

Holy
Bastions of Light
Passive
Beacon of Light can now be placed on up to two targets

Protection & Retribution
Empowered Seals
Passive
Your Seals also cause your Judgment to empower you with an additional beneficial effect:
Judgment of Justice – increases your movement speed by 10% for 20 seconds
Judgment of Insight – heals you for 3% of your maximum health every 2.00 seconds for 20 seconds
Judgment of Righteousness – increases your attack speed by 10% for 20 seconds
Judgement of Truth – increases your attack power by 10% for 20 seconds.

Second Talent Choice: Seal of Faith

623 Mana
Instant
Fills you with Holy Light, causing you to gain Faith equal to all damage dealt.  Faith acts as spell power toward the next healing spell you cast.

Holy
While Seal of Faith is active, all damage dealt is increased by 30%

Protection & Retribution
While Seal of Faith is active, all damage dealt is reduced by 30%

Third Talent Choice: Divine Conviction

Holy
Saved by the Light
Passive
When you or your Beacon of Light target drop below 30% health, you instantly grant the injured target a protective shield, absorbing up to 30% of their maximum health for 10 seconds.  You cannot shield the same person this way twice within 60 seconds.

Protection
Holy Shield
Passive
Increases your block chance by 10% and when you block, you deal 2000 Holy damage to your attacker.

Retribution
Final Verdict
3 Holy Power – melee range
Instant
Requires Melee Weapon
Empowers your weapon with holy energy, and performs a devastating strike, dealing 250% weapon damage as Holy.  Replaces Templar’s Verdict.

It would appear that Divine Conviction would likely be the go to talent for Holy Pallies (except for perhaps fights with certain tank mechanics), but since it appears that this can be triggered multiple times per minute, as long as it isn’t the same target, Paladins will probably be doing a lot of Beacon swapping with this talent if running with more than one Holy Pally.

Holy Radiance bug fixed for Holy Paladins

A bug that was causing Holy Radiance to not proc Holy Avenger has ben fixed.  It was believed the bug happened after they fixed the bug where Holy Radiance was only healing 5 people.

Huge Holy Radiance bug fixed

If your Holy Radiance seems to be healing for less than you think it should, the good news is that it was an unintended bug that was causing it to only heal 5 players.   There is a bug report here if you are wanting to know specifics.

[quote]Fixed an issue where Holy Radiance may sometimes heal less players than intended.[/quote]

There is plenty of speculation over the “sometimes” part, but the good news is it is hotfixed 🙂

Guardian of Ancient Kings healing buffed to 100% from 30% of healing

guardian of ancient kingsAnother update to the Guardian of Ancient Kings change we saw this week, they have now increased the healing it does, from 30% to 100%.

Guardian of Ancient Kings will heal the targets of your heals for an additional 100% of the amount healed, up from 30%.

It still grants the 10% haste buff for the duration of it, but doesn’t heal nearby friendly targets.

This goes along with the change we saw earlier, where Guardian of Ancient Kings had its CD reduced from 5 minutes to 3 minutes, bringing it inline with other healing CDs.

Holy Paladin’s Eternal Flame gets changed once again.

Eternal flame is one spell that has been changing quite a bit on the PTR.  They reduced the initial healing by 30% and changed that Illuminated Healing would no longer proc from periodic healing.  Now, they had change it once again to increase by 40% all of that periodic heal over time effects.

This changes seems to be a way for them to compensates for they made the initial periodic healing change.

Then again, this is the PTR, and blizzard has been changing eternal flame quite a bit, so we could definitely see some changes before the patch is released.
