Well, looks like us Paladins are on a roll now. After being rudely awakened this morning by a not so happy 4 month old, I decided after calming him down that I’d take a quick look at MMO-Champion to see if there were any updates on the paladin changes announced during the Twitter chat. As some may also know, the Beta had a patch yesterday, where several of the new things were to be implemented.
And implemented they were.
Awwwww YEAHHH!!!
Here’s what I found while perusing the site (I’ll stick with Holy for now):
Holy
- Healing Hands now has a 1 min cooldown
- Divine Plea is now trained at level 58. Down from 68.
- Light’s Beacon (!) now affects each heal you cast on the target instead of just Holy Light and Holy Shock. Now heals the beacon for 50%. (Down from 100%)
- Holy Wrath no longer scales from attack power and deals 2400 Holy damage divided among all targets within 10 yards.
- Holy Shock now grants a charge of Holy Power.
- Seal of Wisdom is gone.
- Seal of the Pure (!) now seems to have a chance to restore the Paladin’s mana.
