is JotW broken. It isn't returning mana to me, nor is it proccing replenishment right now.

EDIT: it's working out of an instance. It didn't work while I was in Nexus. Any ideas?

Regarding [Libram of Obstruction]:

325 block value from the proc translates to 423 actual block value after Reckoning, and 549 damage on SotR after Shields of the Templar. Since each Judgement will get you one SotR with the bonus, you can treat this as 549 extra damage on Judgements (or 605 with one-hand spec) if you ignore misses and such. That's a pretty hefty boost to the effective damage of Judgements.

Also, another point about SoC vs SoB: SoC has a one-second internal cooldown. This isn't an issue for autoattack (which is why nobody really cared before) but it can prevent a CS/DS and an autoattack from proccing SoC if they're within one second of each other, and it also means you'll only get one SoC proc per DS.

If you do the math for glyphed SoC vs SoB, the overall damage is almost exactly the same if you ignore the internal cooldown. It's the internal CD and the extra mana through SA that really makes SoB preferable.

Is HotR applying Blood Corruption to 3 targets intended behaviour or should we expect a change in the future?

Completely intended. HOTR and Crusader Strike and Divine Storm all proc Seals, and in the case of HOTR and Divine Storm, all proc Seals on every target that they hit.

For the most part, this means you can skip Consecration on any pull with less than 4 mobs, unless threat is pushing you really hard or positional wonkiness makes the HOTR miss its chaining.

The answer to your question can be found in this thread.

After a brief review of Redcape's new spreadsheet it seems that, with proper raid buffs, retribution shouldnt have terrible mana issues in raids. Has this been the experience of those who have raided Naxx at 80 on live? Also, could anyone comment on mana in 5mans as retribution?

Quick question - looking to the future, with the changes done to uncrushable.. etc..

1) Is 490 defense (or the 5.6 or 6.4% miss/avoid crit whatever) still the magic number for uncrittable?

2) if your combined mitigation is at 102.4% - are you uncrittable, ie, can we lose some defense if our block rating is high enough?

(I did a quick search and nothing with defense or block rating had any returns).

Thanks in advance.
(long time Tankadin, since Mar 05)

Not quite. Crits are a part of the hit table too, so if the only results are Parry, Dodge, Be_Missed or Block, you're uncrittable too. It's just not as reliable, even with the new Holy Shield, since the God of Badly Timed Silences may smack you with your pants down, or whatever.

However, with the diminishing returns on (all?) avoidance stats, it'd likely be as hard or harder than becoming defence capped.

The only question I'm facing is which works out to a better tanking stat. Threat is a complete non-issue right now, you can completely butcher the 969 rotation and still maintain threat. Was skilling up unarmed and didn't want to agro scarabs/adds/hathlings so I dropped hotr/consecrate from my rotation and still kept threat on the entire spider wing. Shield slam/Holy shield + the occasional misdirect is a beast.

So it's basically the 13? bv you get from potency with raid buffs vs. the ~.5% dodge and 52 ac you'd get from agility. I'm thinking of going with the dodge at this point. Shame it doesn't have a particle effect.

Will paladin auras be off the gcd anytime soon or will it never happen?

So I am still seeing the same ghost 3% hit rating, is this the same for everyone else?
