What is with you people and your insistence on giving Paladin builds absolutely ridiculously stupid names? Healadin was bad enough, but now you're calling the Holy/Ret build 'Sheathbot'?

What the hell is wrong with you? Do Hunters that spec into Survival for Expose Weakness call themselves 'Weakbots'? Is your single Mage that specs into Improved Scorch going to call himself a 'Scorchbot' now? Oh, I've got a good one: Restoration Druids that pick up Dreamstate are going to be...

Last month I had the unique opportunity to lead my guild's raids while the bulk of the officers were out on vacation, buying houses, and just generally being unavailable. I hadn't led a raid for over a year, so it was a pretty steep learning curve trying to apply all the knowledge I'd been accumulating about group composition, healing and tanking assignments, and yelling into my microphone.

People who abbreviate "Paladin" as "pala" piss me right off. I don't even read people's posts if they do that. Seriously, it's just another three letters, and as a nifty added bonus you don't sound like a retard. And while you're at it, stop saying "imba" in lieu of "imbalanced", too.

Your grade school teachers should be embarrassed.

Wrath of the Lich King appears to be dramatically overhauling the way that our Seal and Judgement system functions, to better accommodate our new shared equipment with Warrior and Death Knight tanking specs. Of particular relevance to Protection Paladins are the changes to Seal of Righteousness and Vengeance.

Seal (and Judgement) of Righteousness have been changed such that they scale not only with spell power, but with attack power as well. The currently...

My very first impression of the Protection Paladin in WotLK was that the talent tree was absurdly bloated. There are 87 points worth of raid tanking relevant talents (including requisite filler points) in reach of a Protection build – 70 of which are in the Protection tree itself – and there's only 71 points for us to spend. That's a hell of a lot of points, especially compared to some of the almost perfectly streamlined Holy and Retribution builds I've been able to construct. I wouldn't...
