JOL Acknowlegement Required

This is not a Nerf/Unnerf Thread please don't treat it as such.

Tanking wise Prot Paladin's have take a TPS hit not a big one..but mathematically anyone using SOV/JOV has now got less threat, this is not debatable this is a fact.

Now many people are reporting threat is fine & it hasn't changed, again I have no contention with these assumptions.

In a standard 5 man/heroic/Kara/ZA lots of people are reporting a small but noticeable threat loss.

In larger raids many people are reporting that threat is fine/hasn't changed.

Obviously something is amiss.

Q u o t e:
Judgement Of Light Chance to grant 10%[AP] 10%[SP] as health returned


Ok ... so in a 25 man encounter where there is a lot of splash damage... eg felmyst JOL is going to be accounting for probably a minimum of 1k threat....(yes have considered overhealing)

Fast forward to any type of similar encounter in WOTLK where every toon may have 3x they're current stats.... This does not paint a pretty picture.

I think it's only fair for Paladin Tanks/Any other Tank to know whether you intend to Balance Paladin threat around Judgement of light.

I don't care how overpowered/Underpowered it is.. I would just like an acknowledgement that it is intentional.

/By all means support this thread.. please however don't get into an argument about it.

Q u o t e:
Secondly; no one said they're happy with JoL producing the threat it does. I want paladin threat to be balanced around damage/threat abilities, as do the rest of the community. I do not want JoL to be a factor. Blizzard has not stated whether JoL threat will be altered in any way, they haven't even commented on the issue; the fact that so many posts on the same subject go unanswered is annoying, but it also means they're aware of the issue and have yet to address it.


Judgement of Light threat is being removed in 3.0.8.
