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
