the change to make CS no longer refresh judgements is simply taking an obsolete effect out of the game.
I think we all have the right idea where CS is going, blizzard wants a ret pally as a melee brawler/utility healer.
Crusader Strike:
normal effect
(heals party/self for %'tage)(alot like devine storm)
(increases spell damage target takes for 6 seconds)(great raid dps debuff/slight pvp synergy buff)
(5-10 yard lunge Attack that closes distance and has a chance to chastise your target rooting him in place(or inturupt), - my personal fix
)
Ret pallys could really use a root that isent a stun, being able to root someone that is LOS'ing/travel forming in arena could help our teamates SO much in arena. I can see it now "crusader proced BURST NOW". Ret burst is great in arena... when you are actually IN MELEE with your target. atm hunters/shadowstep rogues/warriors have a much easier time helping blow down a target at a momments notice.
When a ret pally uses crusader strike on you, it should feel like a "special attack" instead of just a supliment to melee/judgement damage. No 41 point talent in the game is as "bland" as CS in its current form.
I can see the animation now... a glowing holy radiance as you blow someone up. too cool.
