Guess the 5.4 notes!

[DrMcNinja]

Copied from the warlock thread, what are your predictions for the 5.4 patch notes?

Paladin

NEW SPELL: <Insert Cataclysm Sacred Shield with a new name>

Ret: Sanctity of Battle now also reduces damage taken by 10%

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Sacred Shield is now base-line for protection paladins only. It has been renamed to "Holy Shield" and uses the Holy Shield icon.

The Sacred Shield talent has been replaced with the Cataclysm version of the spell.

Sword of Light: Increases the damage you deal with two-handed melee weapons by 10%.(Down from 30%)

Wow. Get outta here bro.

[RG7620]

I don't wanna! I feel like we're going to get nerfed someway like always.

[icausewipes]

Judgements will dissolve the current seal.

Stop! No! Don't! Don't play with my heart like that. You can't play with my heart like that.

the good days. thats why i wish it was a glyph maybe make inquisition permantly always on but judgements consume seals and also no way to macro them together to cheat it

also sacred shield is cooler as it was in wrath and mop then cata. always on is beast

I'd take that glyph soooo fast. DPS loss or not.

Consumable seals were a blast, it added something awesome to the class that I miss VERY much.

I don't mind the concept of having something to "manage" like Inquisition, I just wish what we were managing were more dynamic and fun, like said consumable seals. Make seal twisting a lot more fun as well.

Glad to see more people think this way!

I fail to see how judgement consuming seals is fun in any possible way. The nostalgia is powerful once again.

stole this one from wowhead because i thought it was funny

"added a model to griftahs authentic troll shoes cant believe we missed that"

[celinamuna]

-5% SotR str
+random dodge/parry bonus.

[Bsod]

sword of light down to 20%
Cataclysm Sacred Shield as talent or as passiv with new name.
glyphe of inquisition makes it passiv (a man can have dreams )

[Sellinz]

Drastic change to eternal flame to make it not the only viable choice in the tree for Holy. Just kidding..but I think it may get nerfed, I hope not though.

In it's old form it was clumsy and awkward (even moreso when it was in it's weird teen years and had a 2 minute duration instead, albeit IMO still enjoyable) and there is plenty of room for it to be worked and improved, however the consumed seals were a ton of fun. No nostalgia hazing here. Plenty of changes that were made for the better, however I think the removal of consumed seals took away something from the class, and was sad to see it removed as opposed to worked on. I miss SotC (especially when it had dat TBC animation). They could work it out better though.

Seals being off of GCD would be the first step to this (incurring too), that way you can apply the seal a lot more easily and freely. Switching between them when you can too. An improved seal system as well would be nice, and they can add much more depth and complexity to it. I always dream of them working seals and exorcism together.

I don'd mind having something extra to manage at all, but when it comes down to it Inquisition is boring, I much rather have consumable seals take the place of that "pay attention" kind of deal.

I fail to see how a copy paste rogue rotation is fun in any possible way (lets face it that is what current ret is)

Holy: Successful judgements will heal the 6 closest melee for the damage done (10 yard range)
Holy: Eternal Flame: Re-worked - Initial heal only benefits from mastery

Like I and other rets said in MoP beta SoL needs to be buffed every tier because our scaling is pretty shit, prob going to see SoL to 35-40%.
Other than that I really hope Hammer of the Righteous loses the target requirement and our AoEs get a 10-12 range (AoE).
I also think Censure needs a 100% buff (the spellpower scaling bit) atm it does 10% of our SP, in order for us to step up on cleave it needs to do 20% of our SP.

I think censure's damage is fine, it's just a pain in the ass to spread it and keep it rolling on 3+ targets.

So sacred shield would be a self defense only? Yea not happening.
