I’ve been using this spec on my paladin since 3.1 as well. Since most paladins use the Holy/Ret build this lets you add something more to the table instead of being just like everyone else.

The best choice is having both in dualspec and switching depending on boss needs. Bubble spec turns out better in bosses like deconstructor, hodir, thorim, vezaxx

This is indeed a very good spec. I have been running it since week two of 3.1 and am loving it.

I kept a holy/ret build coupled with T7.5 as my offspec for certain 25m hardmodes(Thorim, IC), but after gaining some more ulduar gear I can MT heal through these fights with 54/17/0 wearing 4P 8.5 with no problems.

I’m still behind that spec, despite my inability to read.

D’oh. I’ve been reading Hand of Sacrifice as Divine Sacrifice for months.
Regardless, still bumps up the absorb on Hand of Sac!

@Josh

I fear that Alex may indeed be correct. Of course the great limitation (on both DS and HoS) is that they are capped at a maximum of the paladin’s health. I don’t believe that blessed hands increases that cap, only the amount transferred (up to 40% from 30% on HoS).

In any event, since in most raid situations where DS or HoS would be useful much more damage than 150% of max health is flying around, the effectiveness of blessed hands is probably pretty limited.

Totally with you on aura mastery though – I have that instead of 2 points in enlightened judgements (I respecced to max infusion again just last night – we’ll see how this goes).

Um…blessed hands doesn’t improve the absorb of Divine Sac it only improves your Hand spells.
