Does the new change(see below) make a big difference then the 10% increase.

Paladin T8 Holy 4P Bonus (Class: Paladin) — Your Sacred Shield can now trigger its effect every 4 sec instead of every 6. (Old – Increases the damage absorbed by your Sacred Shield by 10%.)

and no one has mentioned that for anyone with a lady toon this set puts giant headlights on the boobs???

also the hat is silly. lots of hats seem like they might hinder your toon’s vision but this is the first that seems to actually make it impossible for your toon to breathe or speak. hm.

and as for the skirt issue, it looks great on most paladins but mine is a belf man and if anyone has raided with belf men casters, the skirt cuts off right around the ankles which looks ridiculous. mages in pants and pallies in skirts. qq ;_;

i have no opinions on the stats. all i care about is how it looks ;)

Just by looking at the pictures without reading, I thought the dress looks quite nice. It’s nice considering how fashion in wotlk sucks. Then I realized it’s paladin set. It’s made of plate – plate skirt is weird.

Not to sure what you are trying to say..I mean is it or is it not.

Anyhow I know I am rambling but try to see it from someone reading it the first time without thinking about it first.

I think the team coming up with the 4 piece bonus wasn’t communicating with the team nerfing sacred shield…

I just hope the non-tier sp/crit/haste gear will be good enough to justify breaking Tier 7.5

I suggest the 4p set bonus be changed to triple (or double) Mp5 contribution from gear. Short of that, it will be really hard to convince the holy paladin community to move to MP5.

@Boot – where does this passive 3% crit come from? (Unless you’re talking about Sanctified Seals/Sanctity of Battle – but 51/0/18 +2 is the most popular build already; only paladins who’d specced into Prot for Kings but who aren’t going to take Divinity will be getting any extra crit.)

The reference to the head looking like Thomas the Tank Engine made me chuckle. I think the look is quite nice. At least you don’t play mage atm… Thinking about still wearing my t7.5 robe so that I don’t have to wear pants…

I Agree with you completely, the set bonus’ are a step back. However, if you spec into ret for a crit build (Which I do) you are going to gain a passive 3% crit with the new talents. While I do not like the idea of ‘upgrading’ from T7 to T8 and losing crit, overall my crit rate should improve with 3.1

and yea, that relic sucks.
