"Not the 11-Point Talent."

Q u o t e:
We're not sure yet if we want to change this ability (possibly through glyph) or just add a normal taunt (for free -- not the 11 point talent).

I saw this pertaining to the protection paladin taunt that your working on giving Prot paladins baseline, however I couldn't help but notice you brought up the 11 point talent again.

Just curious to know if your still looking into the 11-point prot talent or has this gone by the way side.

Edited for way side, lawlz.

Not every talent tree has those clickable abilities at the 11, 21, 31, 41 and 51 spots. We might eventually give Protection and Holy and 11-pointer and we have some ideas on what we would like to do, but mostly we want to see if there is anything they are really lacking that filling the hole could solve.

A taunt is not a particularly interesting talent. It's a button you ideally never want to push and often when you have to push it, it's because someone else in the group messed up. This is why we are leaning towards just giving paladins a brand new ability to taunt, but I'll announce it for sure when we are sure.

Paladins received more changes to core mechanics than any other class in LK, so I would not be at all surprised to see changes to their talent trees over the next few patches. Holy, IMO, is likely to see the most work.
