RUMORED additional paladin 2.3 changes

#0 - Oct. 1, 2007, 3:06 p.m.

As you can see here http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2043948879&sid=1 there is a pretty big outburst on the paladin forums about some unconfirmed 2.3 paladin changes.

A simple confirm/deny would be nice, although things may have already gotten out of hand.

Here are the changes that are NOT confirmed.

*The Tier 4, Tier 5, Tier6 and all Gladiator Sets have had their Spell Damage removed and the points have been reinvested in other stats, such as Strength and Critical Strike Rating.

*Two-Handed Weapon Specialization (Retribution) now also reduces threat caused while wielding a Two-Handed Weapon by 8/16/25%.

*Vengeance (Retribution) duration increased from 15 to 30 seconds and now increases Healing done as well. (The "increases healing done as well" is the portion that is not confirmed)

*Seal of Command (Retribution) now does 85% Weapon Damage, but is no longer affected by Spell damage.

*Judgement of Command (Retribution) now does holy damage equal to 25% of your Attack Power and 50% when the target is stunned or disoriented and is no longer affected by Spell Damage.

*Crusader Strike (Retribution) cooldown reduced from 10 to 6 seconds and does 110% weapon damage instead of weapon damage plus 40% of your Holy Spell damage. (The change to 110% instead of +40% spell damage is unconfirmed)

We've been posting what we can at this point in time and I would take anything else you find out there as being rumored with a tablespoon of salt or more.

Here is the link to all of what we've posted so far on our end-

Maybe that will help confirm or deny things at this point in time.

Q u o t e:

Any chance you can get someone to post some clarification on the Rogue changes. There's all sorts of rumors flying around in the Monkey House.

Also, Good Morning.

We'll continue doing what we can to clarify things for people and expand on the current information where we are able. Just give us a bit of time.

Q u o t e:

Is it really that hard to say yes or no? Honestly?

I could go over everything point by point for you, or I could point you to exactly where we have all the links to all the information we've given out already. It seemed a bit easier to give you a direct link to where we have a sticky post containing everything we've said so far. :)

At this point, we've (for the most part) given the information we can. If/when there is more to add in, we will let you know. We are doing our best to give you as much information as possible and we are waiting to see if more things come our way to share. In the meantime, we have stickied the coming changes we've talked about in all of the class forums. We will update those as we update everyone on anything more that we can share.

I know people want more. :) We'll get you more if and when there is more to give.

Q u o t e:

Just cause a blue hasn't said it doesn't mean its not true, in fact, a blue hasn't denied it being true either, so, really all this blue has done is spur more Rumors.

Also I'd like to note that before TBC came out, Tier 4 and 5 were leaked, no blue ever said anything about it, and guess what? Tier 4 and 5 Looked exactly the same as the "rumored" versions.

If it isn't blue it isn't true. (Sorry I had to do it.)

The short of it is, as always, if you don't see it listed by one of us, it's not true and it's just a rumor. It gets a bit tiring with each new rumor saying /false, not true, /rumor, etc. I gave a source with real and factual information on our very own forums. That is the best resource for changes you are going to get at this point in time. We'll update it if any other changes are sent our way to talk about.
