There’s one side-effect of the game mechanics changes in 3.0.2 and the new spells in Wrath that many people haven’t realised: Intellect is now the primary regen stat for raiding holy Paladins.
This comes from two sources of regen that are based on total mana:
Divine Plea
This is the new paladin spell at level 71; it restores [...]

A quick tip for mana users: in advance of Wrath of the Lich King, you can buy the next rank of “water” already.
Except it’s not water, it’s pungent seal whey. Yummy.
Still, it’ll restore your mana faster than any water’s done before – presumably because you toss it back so fast it can’t hit your [...]

I’ve already covered new and changed spells and glyphs and gear stats. It’s past time to take a look at new holy-relevant talents.
There are some minor changes around the tree – some talents have been modified, some have been moved around – but the big changes are the ones worth noting.
New Talents
Improved Concentration Aura
Tier: 4
Number [...]

So, it’s Patch Day, and you’re confronted with a whole host of changes to spells you used to know like the back of your hand! What to do, what to do?
Holy paladin core mechanics have been changed quite noticeably in this patch, so let’s take a look at what you’ll see when you log in. [...]

Finally, it’s all done!
Inscription Guide v1.2
Last Update: 10 October; PTR build 9056.
If you want to see the levelling guide here on the blog, I’ve updated the Inscription Levelling Guide post.
Alternatively, for the full list of Inscription recipes and the complete Inscription Guide, download the guide as a PDF file here: inscription12.pdf. (The full guide [...]

Ghostcrawler has posted some upcoming good news for paladins.
Righteous Defense — cooldown lowered to 8 sec. It had been 10 sec recently and is 15 sec on live.
Infusion of Light — now affects Flash of Light or Holy Light. Flash of Light is reduced to 0 cast time with 2 ranks, meaning that if [...]

Unsurprisingly, build 9014 has changed some things for Inscription yet again.
Of particular interest, a lot of the glyphs that were previously green when learnt are now orange, meaning that skilling up from 200 onwards shouldn’t be as painful or costly as my guide suggested. On the other hand, many inks have doubled in cast, so [...]

I’d like you to observe something that many paladins don’t know about.
Old and busted: Lay On Hands in Live.
The new hotness: Lay On Hands on the PTR.
See that? See the change in cooldown? See the change in mana cost? That is going to be a damn fine addition to the healing arsenal, instead of the [...]

So, beta build 9014 landed on us overnight, and the paladin forums exploded in a storm of weeping – and pretty justified, too, I feel. Heck, people were upset enough that the main forum thread about it grew 16 pages overnight.
The two key changes were:

Infusion of Light no longer gives instant Holy Lights. Instead, it [...]

I alluded to this in my last post, but I felt I should make it clear for people who didn’t read behind the cut:
A lot of information around the net – including my own Inscription guide, currently – says that Scribes will be getting an extra Major Glyph slot that no-one else gets.
This is no [...]
