Firstly, apologies for the week-long silence - I’ve had family staying with me, and computer time has been rather limited.
Note: This post contains spoilers for Wrath of the Lich King.
So, the WotLK beta is open, and there are a lot of changes coming to light. I need to spend some time thinking before I post […]
In all the hoo-ha about the big changes on the PTR, a few smaller changes have slipped through.
Here’s one I’m keen about.
Turn Evil
This is The Spell Formerly Known As Turn Undead (Rank 3). It’s effectively the same, except now it applies to demons as well as undead (and, as a result, is subject to diminishing […]
I just noticed on the PTR that the new Holy Shock:
a) costs 650 mana (up from 435, a ~33% increase), so that’s a big cost increase and makes Holy Shock much more of an “emergency stopgap” heal than a viable part of a healing rotation. This is also going to make life more mana-intensive for […]

It’s pretty easy to tank when you’re a tankadin: you’ve got all the […]
Most of my attention has focused on paladins at the level cap, because that’s where you really have to pay attention; that’s where the difference in a few stat points actually makes a long-term difference, rather than just being a poor gear choice you’ll replace when you level again tomorrow.
However, there’s a lot of confusion […]
A standby in the paladin spell arsenal:
Divine ShieldProtects the paladin from all damage and spells for 12 sec, but increases the time between your attacks by 100%. Once protected, the target cannot be made invulnerable by Divine Shield, Divine Protection, Blessing of Protection again or use Avenging Wrath for 1 min.
The ever-popular pally bubble, […]
