Update - Recent 3.3 PTR Paladin changes

Patch 3.3 - PTR Build 10712
A new build has been deployed on PTRs, nothing really important for the moment but it might get better when servers are online. Stay tuned.

Boss Models
.... Ouch. This is most likely the model of Queen Lana'thel, the final boss of the Crimson Hall in Icecrown Citadel.

thats the sound of holy paladins killing themselves.

[Sanguissa]

BANG

You cant chat while dead.

Iam in love with lay on hands glyphed.. and now this..at the very end of wotlk..

[Aleryck]

I already can hear the paladins' cry.

Edit: I actually liked the spell as a leveling pally

[zhixson]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't touch myself to get better anymore!?!?!?

I... but... *sob*

[trienish]

I don't really understand the LoH nerf, was that overpowered?

[pcj]

crazy...LoH has been that way for like...forever.

[Carkel426]

Sorta it was there second life, with out without it tank pallys will be hurting

[Deleted]

* Sacred Shield can now only occur every 30 sec. (Up from 6 sec)
* Lay on Hands can no longer be cast on yourself.
* Infusion of Light now also reduces the cooldown on the effect of Sacred Shield by 12/24 sec.
* Aura Mastery now lasts 6 sec. (Down from 10 sec)

So, looks like it wasn't just holyprot pvp that was causing issues.

Using LoH on yourself as a tank is a nice CD, gone. Sacred shield is a nice mitigation spell, nerfed to the ground (Exception: 25 mans)

Was prot in PvE overpowered?

[timski]

Windows build seems to always crash on exit... so I wouldn't be surprised if we see another one real soon.

[Trinh]

PvP Paladins finally lose 1 life. Now I don't have to work as hard to kill them.

[keron]

no shaman t10 again?

[Kushiaji]

I thought Protadin's were getting another tanking CD...not taking away the one we've always had.

/wrist.

[Theholypally]

Fucking stupid blizzard, as usual, nerfing holy paladins for no reason.

Idiots.

[Huon]

Calm down,

its only DATAMINED spell comparison, it could be a bug, a test, it could be only part of a bigger change (like adding a talent in prot that allows you to use it on yourself), etc.

Wait to see what official patch notes will say in a few builds about it.

As for AM, 10 second of insane resistance and no interrupt was ridiculous for PvE magic damage fights. I hope and assume they will compensate somewhere for these changes.

[RaptorJesus]

That boss looks hot

[Rilgon]

I don't really understand the LoH nerf, was that overpowered?

Apparently some fucking arenafag thought so, yes.

[Fowl]

Yay, no more LoH in PvP =)
Boo, no more LoH in PvE =(

Btw, that boss model is... kinda fugly.. The Sims Diamond Head..thing and wings are way to big...

[Plawsky]

Because Lay on Hands can be used in arena, right?

Because PvP = arena, right?

[JoeShmoe64]

Woah, new boss model is scary.

However, we all know that it's actually Sylvanas' final form, not some pansy elf chick.
