Presentazione

Salve signori. Mi chiamo Nicola, o come alcuni di voi mi potrebbero conoscere, Herrod o greendevil.
Ho preso a cuore il progetto di Derek, ovvero un sito (per ora, un blog) che ha come obbiettivo l'essere un punto di informazione e di riferimento per tutti i paladini, retri, holy o protection che siano.

E, come prima cosa, posto una build retri pvp che avevo in mente e che ho riguardato un paio di volte:

http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=sZxGzhRh0xZVfct0fuAcoMzh

Reckoning e Crusader strike. Sbav.
Per quanto riguarda Judgement of the Wise, sono indeciso se metterlo o no, perché ritengo sia necessario un minimo di testing per vedere quanto mana consumerà effettivamente il nuovo paladino.
Il Guardian's Favor l'ho messo anche se verrà sicuramente rivisto (il Blessing of Protection e il Blessing of Freedom sono state trasformate in Hand of Protection e Hand of Freedom ora), e considerando che è possibile che comunque andrà a influenzare le due nuove spell, e sicuramente ciò è più preferibile di un +2% dodge o... due punti in redoubt.

Pensavo a questa spec per le 2v2, principalmente.
Ogni commento, impressione o suggerimento è sempre ben accetto.

Ciao a tutti ;)

Post Blu sul pala in Wotlk

Avrete tutti notato che non si sono ancora i nostri talenti... perchè?
Beh questi due post blu ci danno un'idea sull'argomento.

Quite honestly one of the reasons we saved paladins for last is because there is a lot we wanted to change with them. Paladins are changing probably more than any other class. The tiny little bit you heard at the WWI is just the beginning.

The discussion about a new healing spell was just to say yes, we think paladins need another healing mechanic. It isn’t finished yet. We don’t want to just hand them a thinly disguised druid or priest spell. We also want paladins to tank more actively and want retribution paladins to have a little better control over their damage without the bursts feeling quite so random. (And no, that’s not all we’re looking at).

It’s all coming. It’s just a lot of work. Try to stay positive. Everyone in the alpha was invited because they have a close connection to someone at Blizzard. You’re here because we value your feedback.

That’s a fair question. We knew we were going to make 3 pretty sweeping changes to classes in general that would all affect paladins. First we changed the way healing and damage stats work. Second, we changed the way party vs raid buffs worked. Third, we changed how much damage a tank is expected to deliver as well as reworking some of our itemization theories in general.

We figured it was easier to tackle those issues on comparatively easy classes like the warrior and priest before figuring out how we were going to have to change the paladin. Hunters got pushed to the back for a similar reason — we were overhauling how their pets worked and needed to nail those changes first before figuring out their new abilities and talents.

We still feel like we’re ahead of where we were on Burning Crusade with a more experienced team. So we’re not yet panicked about having enough testing time.

Giocheremo una nuova classe? quali saranno i nostri effettivi ruoli in raid?
Lo scopriremo presto... voi intanto iscrivetevi tutti alla beta.
Iniziate a believare perchè sarà dura.

Wotlk Beta Opt

Today we opened the Wrath of the Lich King Beta Opt-In program, which gives players a chance to win an invitation to the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King beta. For The Burning Crusade beta, we randomly invited players from the entire World of Warcraft community. With the Opt-In, our goal is to strengthen the beta-testing process by inviting only those players who have expressed active interest in participating.

Keep in mind that opting in doesn’t guarantee you’ll be selected for the beta.

Crusader Strike Favicon ed altre news

Nuove aggiunte al blog:

-la favicon con l'immagine della spell in WoW (si la favicon dai... l'immagine accanto all'indirizzo del sito nella barra di navigazione)
-I menu link spariti con il cambio del tema, cercherò di aggiungere quanti più link potrò in tempi brevi.

Wotlk Blizzcon news

-Retribution paladins will share their itemization with Death Knights and Warriors.
-Their group utility will be increased by making them more efficient DPS-wise.
-A new reactive healing spell will be added - Hand of Purity.
-Paladin's short-term-blessings no longer overwrite long-term-blessings.

Queste le modifiche annunciate.
Particolarmente interessante la divisione dei bless in due categorie, i long term (BoM BoL BoS BoW BoK BoSanc) e gli short-term (BoSac BoF BoP). Risulta essere quindi un ottimo buff in PvP e in particolar modo in Arena, in PvE potremo tenere Sacrifice fisso su tank oltre che non dover ribuffare i caster nabbi dopo averli salvati con un BoP.
Per quel che riguarda la nuova spell healing si sa questo:

Hand of Purity: Provides preemptive reactive healing on the target, similar to a single target version of Prayer of Mending

Ristrutturazione...

Ho cominciato a ristrutturare ieri, qualcuno forse se ne sarà accorto.
Il blog è quindi in fase di transizione, i menu con i linbk laterali verranno ripristinati a breve, nel frattempo vado a linarvi le novità:
-nuovo tema grafico (giochiamo a wow giralamoda mi pare giusto che l'occhio voglia la sua parte), di cui a breve cambierò testata in stile paladin.
-Pulsante Search per poter accedere rapidamente ai contenuti del blog.
-Eliminazione del frame di navigazione di blogger

Wowhead tooltip!

Grazie allo script messo a disposizione da Wowhead.com abbiamo a disposizione i tooltip su tutti i link di oggetti di WoW...
Un es. [Torch of Damned]

Beh una utility in più!

Main Tankadin

Stavo aggiornando i link sul blog cercando in giro per la rete qualcosa di interessante, quando capito su maintankadin.

iL forum mette a disposizione un vasto numero di informazioni e offre guida al tanking di tutti i boss della TBC oltre che guide base sul gameplay del tankadin.

2.4.2 PTR Patch Notes

Patch di bugfix e di uscite della Season 4:

-Flash of Light and Holy Light will now work properly with castsequence macros.
Seal of the Crusader: This ability now increases the damage dealt by Crusader Strike by 40%.
-Crusader Strike (Retribution) will now properly receive a damage increase from Seal of The Crusader.
-Talent: Precision (Ranks 1-3) will no longer improperly display daggers and staves as a weapon class in the tooltip.
-Paladins that already have Apprentice Riding skill can now properly learn Summon Warhorse from the trainer.

Nulla di che la modifica al SotC è in realtà un fix per eliminare la perdita di dps del CS.

2.4 Fury of the Sunwell

Queste le modifiche nella 2.4 per quel che riguarda la nostra classe:

Paladins
-Avenger’s Shield, Holy Shield and Holy Shock: Casting lower ranks of these spells is now properly penalized like other healing and damage effects.
-Avenger’s Shield: This ability will no longer jump to secondary targets which are under the effect of crowd-control spells that break on taking damage. I.e. Polymorph, Sap, etc.
-Crusader Strike: This ability will no longer refresh the Healing Way buff from the Shaman talent.
-Illumination: The mana energize from this talent no longer has a chance to set off other triggered effects.
-Holy Shock: The healing, damage, and mana cost of this spell have all been increased.
-Judgment of the Crusader: It is no longer possible to have icons for two different ranks of Judgment of the Crusader appear at the same time when judged by multiple Paladins.
-Judgment of Wisdom: Some abilities (such as Frostbolt) were not triggering the mana energize effect from this spell. This has now been fixed.
-Resistance Auras: It is no longer possible for two Paladins in the same party to make it appear that players have two of the same resistance aura active.
-Righteous Defense: This spell will now always be castable on friendly npcs.
Seal of Blood: This ability will no longer cause spell pushback for the Paladin with this seal active.
-Sense Undead- Now persists after death.
-Turn Undead(Rank 3):This spell has been reworked and has been renamed to “Turn Evil”. It will now work on Demons in addition to Undead. Turn Evil is subject to diminishing returns, and lasts 10 seconds in PvP.

Benefit

Molti Raid Leader ci chiedono spesso perchè dovrebbero portare un Crittadin in raid.
Il ruolo del paladino anche da DPS è quello di buffer, i bonus che apporta infatti sono i seguenti:

- 1 aggiuntivo buff da pala in raid (BoM, BoW, BoS, Bok, Bol), non diamoli per scontati
- Improved Blessing of Might che porta il bonus di AP a 264
- Improved Seal of the Crusader buff del 3% crit che ricevono tutti i dps del raid sul target giudicato, oltre ad aumentare i danni holy del pala retri e eventualmente di un pala tank se la vostra gilda ne fa uso (più aggro)
- Refresh costante dei Seal giudicati dagli altri paladini in raid (JoL, JoW, JoC) tramite Crusader Strike, bonus che riceve ogni dps del raid sul target. Per poter quantificare il bonus del JoW vi consiglio di dare un'occhiata a quest'altro articolo
- Improved Sanctity Aura che aumenta del 2% la dps del gruppo del pala Crittadin
- Un BoP aggiuntivo a disposizione del raid

A bassi livelli di equip il pala crittadin si mantiene su una DPS discreta.
Tuttavia l'alto numero di talenti bonus percentuali fa scalare notevolmente le stat rispetto ad altre classi.

Enchant

Di seguito una lista degli enchant per i vari slot per il paladino Retribution.
In alcuni la scelta è tra due enchant principalmente se avete hit già cappata o meno, in qualsiasi caso sono sempre motivate le differenze.

PvE

Head: [Glyph of Ferocity] o [Glyph of the Outcast] con hit cappata.
Shoulder: [Greater Inscription of Vengeance] o [Greater Inscription of the Blade] rispettivamente Aldor e Scryer
Cloak: [Enchant Cloak - Greater Agility]
Chest: [Enchant Chest - Exceptional Stats]
Bracer: [Enchant Bracer - Brawn] o [Enchant Bracer - Stats]
Hands: [Enchant Gloves - Major Strength]
Legs: [Nethercobra Leg Armor]
Feet: [Enchant Boots - Surefooted] o [Enchant Boots - Dexterity]con hit cappata
Weapon: Se non avete armor penetration [Enchant Weapon - Mongoose] Se avete almeno 800 di Armor Penetration [Enchant Weapon - Executioner]

PvP

Head: [Glyph of Ferocity] o [Glyph of the Outcast] con hit cappata.
Shoulder: [Greater Inscription of Vengeance] o [Greater Inscription of the Blade] rispettivamente Aldor e Scryer
Cloak: [Enchant Cloak - Greater Agility] o [Enchant Cloak – Major Resistance] questo può fare la differenza vs caster
Chest: [Enchant Chest - Major Resilience] o [Enchant Chest - Exceptional Stats] se avete già cappato resilience
Bracer: [Enchant Bracer - Brawn]
Hands: [Enchant Gloves - Major Strength]
Legs: [Nethercobra Leg Armor]
Feet: [Enchant Boots - Surefooted] o [Enchant Boots - Dexterity]con hit cappata
Weapon: Se non avete armor penetration [Enchant Weapon - Mongoose] Se avete almeno 800 di Armor Penetration [Enchant Weapon - Executioner] altri preferiscono evitare il proc e affidarsi alla certezza del [Enchant 2H Weapon - Savagery]

Rawr Retribution 1.05

Uscito il nuovo modulo di Rawr per paladini retribution aggiornato con gli oggetti della 2.4

Rawr Retribution 1.05

p.s. La versione dell'applicativo è la 12.1

Talenti

La scelta dei talenti retribution in PvE non è così complessa.
Queste sono le spec PvE più usate:

Full Crittadin (hit cappata): Link

Questa spec sfrutta i talenti holy per far scalare Strength e Intellect e si può permettere di prendere tutti i bonus PvE presenti nel ramo retribution.
Questa spec può essere usata solo se avete già cappato hit.

Full Crittadin (hit non cappata): Link

Questa spec rinuncia a al Pursuit of Justice e a far far scalare Int, tuttavia raggiunge precision per cappare più facilmente hit.
Mantiene cmq tutti i bonus del ramo retribution in PvE.

Precision & Blessing of King: Link

Questa spec sacrifica il BoM per il BoK.
Da usare solo se siete l'unico paladino a poter buffare king. In aggiunta acquisisce i bonus del Guardian's Favor, sempre comodi in PvE.

Le spec PvP sono invece più complesse e variano in base al vostro equip e al Brachet nel quale giocate.

Introduzione

The Paladin is a Holy Warrior hybrid class

Questo si leggeva nelle guide durante il D-1.
Dopo 4 anni il ramo Retribution è ancora lontano dall'essere completo.
Tuttavia vedremo di buttare giù una guida che terremo aggiornata con le future modifiche a questo ramo.

Il paladino Retribution, per cominciare, è basato su percentuali.
Elenco le percentuali che saranno applicate ad ogni paladino Retribution self-buffed in combat.

+10% Strength (Divine Strength)
+10% Holy Damage (Sanctity Aura)
+3% Damage (Crusade)
+2% Damage (Imp Sanctity Aura)
+15% Damage (Vengeance)
+6% Melee/Seal of Command Damage (Two Handed Specialization)

Assumiamo, per semplicità, che riceviate tutta la vostra AP da Str, e che la vostra AP garantisca una weapon dps uguale al dps base della tua arma.
Riceverete:
5% (dato che è il 10% bonus del 50% del tuo contributo al dps melee) + 3% +2% +15% +6% = 31% bonus damage su Auto Attack e Crusader Strike
5% + 10% + 3% +2% +15% +6% = 41% bonus damage sul Seal of Command proc.
10% + 3% + 2% +15% = 30% bonus damage su Judgment of Command, Consecration, Exorcism e Holy Wrath.
Infine, se le modifiche della 2.3.2, verranno confermate per il nuovo Crusader Strike modificandolo al 110% del danno base dell'arma (che ha già aggiunto i modificatori sotto riposrtati):
5% +3% +2% +15% +6% = 31% di aumento per il basic melee.
Allora Crusader Strike è 110% quindi è = 131% * 1,1 = 144.1% del weapon damage per la base del danno del Crusader Strike, ora dato che è anche il CS è un melee strike riceve i bonus da Vengeance e Improved Sanctity Aura:
144.1% * 1.17 (15% + 2% are additive) = ~169% della base weapon damage durante normali condizioni di DPS.

Tutto questo solo con i talenti. Ora sapete quanto scala la DPS del pala Retribution con il gear.

Tutto questo prima di Avenging Wrath ovviamente.
