Bastion of Glory Increases the strength of your Word of Glory when used to heal yourself by 6%. Stacks up to 5 times. Requires Shields. Paladin - Protection Spec. 3 Holy Power. Melee range. Instant. 1.5 cooldown

The area I have highlighted is the area in question.
I'mma be honest here when I say I haven't been paying much attention to hot fixes and all of those things, is this just a tool tip update, or something that has already been implemented? Cause as far as I see, and can remember from some of the hot fixes Ive seen, all of these seem to be just tool tip updates, is that the same for this one I don't remember seeing it in hot fixes?

If this isn't a tool tip update, is this a nerf? or just some weird shit their doing? (I don't really get the part under SOTR where it says "reducing the physical damage you take by [ 20 ] [Min 20 [ - 25 ] [Min 25, Max 80]% for 3 sec," so if someone could explain that, that would be great lol. )


Thanks before hand!!~

It's just tooltip updates. If you had read the last two pages of the regular Prot thread you would have seen that.

I actually don't come to the forums much and look at all that stuff, I only generally visit with class specific questions or if I'm struggling with any particular boss fight etc. That sort of thing, I don't check in often (Thus my post count relative to my join date lol)

Either way, Still curious about my second question :P, Since it was just a tool tip update, clearly don't feel weak right now as a paladin lol. But that bit has me still alittle confused.


Either way, Can't wait to get rid of all these damned out of date tooltips that lead too some confusion.

SoTR and mastery was rebalanced, before SoTR did less base (20%) and u got more dmg reduction per % of mastery. This was changed do that SOTR did more base but les per mastery %.

As was said above there no changes for paladins yet, all the "changes" you read are already live - there just updating the text to match.
