Once again, HP/mitigation vs avoidance is a personal preference - of both you and your healers. If your healers are comfortable reactive (or proactively anticipating) healing big spikes, then you'll actually take less overall damage in avoidance gear. Generally though, it will be some balance between the two, and where you're comfortable with that being will be up to you.

There is no "decay" on pure stats. Strength, spell damage, stamina will all give the same amount of benefit at 80 that they did at 70. Anything with a rating on it will decay though. Defense, crit, etc are all tied to the character's level.

I don't think you will ever see LoH crit as it heals the amount of health that the player has.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're wrong. (How's that for a simple answer )

LoH Can Crit.

I'm fairly sure Lay on Hands crits don't apply to Sheath of Light, which goes against the wording of the tooltip ("your critical healing spells heal the target for 60% of the healed amount over 12 seconds")

Having said that, it would be a rather ridiculous hot so I can understand it being excluded...

Well, after I installed WOTLK I've never seen it crit while it did crit before WOTLK.

Lay on Hands
Instant cast
40 yards rangeHeals a friendly target for an amount equal to the Paladin's maximum health and restores X of their mana.

Equal means to me that it if I have 17k health it heals my target for 17k health and I've never seen the spell crit since WOTLK. That's why i think it won't crit.

Yes indeed you're right, said nothing then.
Thanks for making that clear for me as well then.

I'll confirm this. I got a LoH crit while running heroics Sunday night. Checking Recount after the fight, there were no ridiculously large SoL ticks, sadly. I guess a HoT worth 90% of the Ret paladin's max HP would be a bit much. = P

Sorry for these questions but I have not played WoW in over a year and I am thinking of leveling another paladin.

Is Judgment of the Pure worthless for pvp healing? Do you ever use HL for pvp?

Does Stoicism and Blessed Hands stack?

Does the silence/interrupt effect reduction of Imp Conc Aura apply to the paladin or just his group members?

The magic resistance buff from Sacred Cleansing, does that apply to all magic spells like a mage's fireball or lock's shadowbolt?

Not worthless, but I could see people dropping JotP for PvP healing. I use HL for PvP a lot.

Yes, they stack.

Imp Conc Aura goes to everyone in range.

No.

LoH is likely removed from being affected by SoL, due to that being too good.


http://wowwebstats.com/fefqcc6wqlj2u?ab=48788 I got a 33k LoH crit with around 22k health, so it is affected by 6% healing buff.

Probably not.

If we compare it to the [Valor Medal of the First War]:

The Darkmoon Card's 90 AGI is worth 1.72% dodge
The Valor Medal's 84 dodge rating is worth 2.13% dodge

The proc is also quite uncontrollable and will never be AGI. It'll probably be STR, which works out to 253 BV after Divine Str, BOK, Redoubt and the BV meta. That's just barely better than the [Item not found!], and definitely worse than [Lavanthor's Talisman].

The main point you are missing here is that the proc is uncontrollable and when tanking something you're all about controlling your actions, that said considering the threat factor an on use or proc even BV trinket would probably better.

As far as I know the DR does not stack with Sanctuary, and it's probably worth it only if you severely outgear your tanking partner. A melee DPS(ret, dps warr, enh shammy) would be far better of having vigilance than you would.
