Simple explination for the new Seals/Judgements

[Voidseeker]

I want to know what all the crying has been about then.

...

We need something new to moan about....do you find that your plate armor chafes when you walk, i demand we are supplied with talc!

Honestly, I have no idea what people are crying about. I have to assume that either 1) they have not actually played it yet and are just talking out their arse or 2) have not bothered to read any of the patch notes / talents / spells / etc and thought things through.


Is it perfect? No, but WAY better. Will it be changed more? Yea, it is a beta - but let's hope it stays pretty close to where it is now.


And I will /bug that we need talc due to armor chafing.

Retribution Paladin the new Shadowpriest?

ie. still low damage, but better regen from seals for the raid.

I think if things say as they are they will be the shadow priests of melee. Melee DPS need a lot of healing, it is just part of the gameplay mechanics. Devine Storm will take weight of the healers to heal up the Melee which can only be a good thing.
Add a Survival Hunter into the mix (Crits generate energy, mana and rage for the group) and you have some truely great regen abilities

How much damage does judgment do without command etc?

[Daedalon]

Anyone have actual numbers of amount of healing and mana regen on seals ?

How much damage does judgment do without command etc?

At level 70, naked, with only 151 Spell Power from talents, on a level 70 mob, my normal Judgements do 271.
With just my weapon raising Spell power to 324, same mob 371 damage.
With no weapon, just gear making my spell power 326, same mob, I do 372 damage

As you can see spell power DOES increase the damage caused, around 60% of spell power will go to the base damage of your Judgements (rough number, need a lot more testing).

Can you tell us if judging now triggers the global cooldown and/or costs mana?

And to finally answer this question: Judgements DO cost mana, but DO NOT trigger the global cool down.

I'd hardly say low damage. As of right now from what I've seen they're wrecking kids.

Some of that is due to bugged talents/spells

But Paladin DPS IS a lot higher than before, regardless of what build you use. The changes to Judgements alone kicked our DPS up a lot.
