As you can see here http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2043948879&sid=1 there is a pretty big outburst on the paladin forums about some unconfirmed 2.3 paladin changes.

A simple confirm/deny would be nice, although things may have already gotten out of hand.

Here are the changes that are NOT confirmed.

*The Tier 4, Tier 5, Tier6 and all Gladiator Sets have had their Spell Damage removed and the points have been reinvested in other stats, such as Strength and Critical Strike Rating.

*Two-Handed Weapon Specialization (Retribution) now also reduces threat caused while wielding a Two-Handed Weapon by 8/16/25%.

*Vengeance (Retribution) duration increased from 15 to 30 seconds and now increases Healing done as well. (The "increases healing done as well" is the portion that is not confirmed)

*Seal of Command (Retribution) now does 85% Weapon Damage, but is no longer affected by Spell damage.

*Judgement of Command (Retribution) now does holy damage equal to 25% of your Attack Power and 50% when the target is stunned or disoriented and is no longer affected by Spell Damage.

*Crusader Strike (Retribution) cooldown reduced from 10 to 6 seconds and does 110% weapon damage instead of weapon damage plus 40% of your Holy Spell damage. (The change to 110% instead of +40% spell damage is unconfirmed)

2.3 will also disable the Q key when paladins are dectected to keep them from crying.

exactly....I just want a blue to say "lolno dont be stupid" so the paladin forums will stop collectively wetting their pants over it.

its possible, but dont hold your breath. these strike me as far fetched, kalgan not to long said he wanted to ret in a place where it did decent dps, but when it reached the threat ceiling, threw on there healing shield and one hand to do some patch jobs (pally healing being all but threatless) removing +damage/+healing from there inventory seems to take a large step away from that. it is, however, always possible he simply changed his mind

Hey, if these changes went through it's entirely possible every ret paladin would rip out his q key. What need would we have for them? We'd be gods.

We've been posting what we can at this point in time and I would take anything else you find out there as being rumored with a tablespoon of salt or more.

Does that mean these are real or not o_O?

well, once again let me reiterate that these changes are wildly different from what kalgan said he had in mind for the class, and further, the usual way neth's expression is "take it with a grain of salt" since she said, "tablespoon or more" im inclined to think that at the very least, these are wildly exagerated, more then likely, theres simply no truth to them

I took you literally and went and ate a tablespoon of salt. . . now my mouth is all dry. :(

Salt is bad for you, mkay? A tablespoon is WAY too much.

A "no" would have been more straightforward. Usually if they say an ambiguous statement, there is a tiny bit of truth to some change in there, though not necessarily all of it.

...

It means 'until you see it in blue, it isn't true'.

Any chance you can get someone to post some clarification on the Rogue changes. There's all sorts of rumors flying around in the Monkey House.

Also, Good Morning.

there was, actually, one minor trutrh there though, its allready confirmed, vengeance is up to 30 seconds now. thehealing change is unconfirmed, though that one striikes me as the part of these most likely to be accurate
