A couple questions (paladin trees)

#0 - July 14, 2010, 9:07 a.m.

I know the paladin trees are far behind those of other classes, but I'd still like to ask a couple things.

1. Are Sanctified Ret, Swift Ret, Sanctuary, and Imp Dev Aura going to remain 3-pt talents? They feel too expensive this way. Maybe they can be rolled into individual talents, or changed to cost 2-pts each.

2. The whole reactive Judgement thing feels weird to me. If a Ret is taking a lot of damage in PvP, he no longer has to worry about mana? I'm all for new mechanics and making E4E a strong talent, but I'm not sure I like this. On the same note, how about Purifying Power -- if a Holy Paladin dispels his teammate, will it break CC on the enemy who applied the debuff?

----

So far, I don't feel I have any choice between talents. The decisions are obvious. I know paladin trees aren't far along, but I'm hearing this from players of other classes as well. I'm very excited about 31-pt talent trees, but so far they seem very shallow...more of the same, minus the illusion of choice.

One of Sanctified and Swift is 2 points and the other is 1 point. I can't remember which without looking. Imp Dev Aura is dead.

Reactive Judgements is also dead.

I'm going to regret saying this, but the paladin trees are the most changed in the game. There are only a few of the current beta talents that survived the, um, cleansing.
