Q u o t e:
Hoping a Blizzard poster will drop by. Some of the other classes have had their CM's give them hints of whats to come. Could ours kindly do the same?

Thanks

6 sec cd Crusader Strike is the only leak I've gotten my hands on
I'm just crossing my fingers that it works out to not be a laughing stock spec anymore

Already happened.

been looking over the other forums - pally 2.3 'hints' have been by far the most tight lipped based on how much there should be to offer - how bout a little more lovin than something we already had at one point? anything fundamentally NEW? (cough threat reduction or mana regen or AP-> mana conversion or wow this is turning into a long cough or actually using the user submitted armor a few posts away cough)?

yes i'll even take a topical buff at this point - I dislike "pink ranger" being the armor I have to look forward to

Q u o t e:
Well along with a few other Ret changes we're putting the benefits of Improved Seal of the Crusader right into the base spell, and the talent will instead give the benefit of Sanctified Crusader. That of course means Sanctified Crusader needs something else, and it's being renamed Sanctified Seals, which will increase your change to critically hit will all spells and melee by 1/2/3% and reduces the chance your Seals can be dispelled by 33/66/100%.

That is win

FIRST?! I LOVE YOU DRYSC!

aw, those 2 seconds it took to type out my brown nosing cost me my very first "first" post.

Wow, it's about time. Nice change.

Wow, thats actually... insanely good for PvP.

We'll actually have something other than auto attack + crusder strike when fighting shamans.

Any news on a threat reduction? Without one we're pretty much SOL in PvE.

Any chance we can hear about Prot changes?

I know Ret paladin changes are the next big thing, but we're the tanking/healing hybrid, right?

We were told about upcoming buffs in march.

Please tell me the wait it almost over!

HOLY HELL A THIRD POST!!!!!!! New fergin record. BTW, purge-immune seals=win.

So that will be a total of 8% base crit% increase in the ret tree then? Conviction + Sanctified seals?

You just made my week my friend, cheers! ^^
