Not in this case! Reckoning is just another white attack, so it can proc those enchants. However, those only drop in Ulduar, so it may be a few until you can use them.

What addon do you guys use to track your Beacon of Light? I used ClassTimers for a while with the Beacon target on focus but I don't really like that. I also tried AzCastBar with the Pally plug-in but it doesn't work 100%, sometimes it just doesn't notice that I cast Beacon.

You could try TellMeWhen, set up an icon for BoL and have it watch your focus - unfortunately I don't think there's a way to watch a target without it being your target or your focus - outside of writing an addon from scratch.

I use Healbot, and it shows an icon on the frame of the person on whom I've cast Beacon of Light. When there isn't much time left on Beacon, it starts counting down - very handy. It does the same for Sacred Shield.

I was wondering something about the FCFS clash situation.
"CS > HoW > Judgement > DS > Consecration > Exorcism > Holy Wrath"

I guess I should move DS one step up (inplace of Judgement) since I'm a noob Retradin who's still using the Venture. co Libram?

Libram of Radiance is available to purchase from the EoV Quartermaster.

Since the rocket is a "spell" it may reset the swing timer, however I cannot test it.

Assuming it doesn't reset the swing timer, then Rocket > Hyperspeed > Crusher. If it does reset the swing timer, then it would be the worst of the three.

In a related manner, on Redcape's spreadsheet the 32 AP boot enchant shows about a 10 DPS difference between for me between that and 16 passive crit rating (now part of the Nitro Boost tinker). I have to believe that that 2 second burst of speed is going to be worth a lot more than 10 dps on some fights, especially considering some of the discussion on how good increased run speed is for melee in the later pages of the 3.0 thread. Does anyone disagree?

You can use DoTimer to track your BoL. It does a good job of tracking SS and your JotP buff as well.

I've got a question regarding Divine Sacrifice and it's respective damage cap (150% HP). If you Divine Shield then pop Divine Sacrifice, will it redirect 30% damage for the duration of Divine Shield and effectively not cap at 150% since no damage is actually being dealt to you.

Two food questions, for a non hit capped prot pallie is hit food better for threat than a fish feast?

For a ret paladin, is strength food better than a fish feast? (Given the extra spellpower on the fish feast)?

Yesterday I was trying this on XT-002...

Whenever XT did his Tympanic Tantrum - Spell - World of Warcraft (Physical damage)

I would Pop
Divine Sacrifice - Spell - World of Warcraft

and then use
Hand of Protection - Spell - World of Warcraft

alternatively I would use
Divine Shield - Spell - World of Warcraft

what happened to me more than a couple of times is that once shield ended I would drop like a stone, I take it this was because I was popping shield before Sacrifice, or because i was a victim of the GCD.

1) Does anyone have any ideas how to use this combo the best way?

2) A list of when and in which encounters to use it could benefit the community, so far I have found it useful during

• XT-002 - Tympanic Tantrum - Spell - World of Warcraft
• Ignis the Furnace Master - Flame Jets - Spell - World of Warcraft

3) Also if anyone could post their a cast sequence macro for either of the above mentioned combos, it'd be much appreciated.

1) How about wait 1-2 seconds after Tantrum begins, pop bubble, Divine Sac. Bubble wears off at end of Tantrum or right after. Sac lasts another 1.5-2 seconds but after the danger is past.

3) #showtooltip
/castsequence [reset=300] Divine Shield, Divine Sacrifice, Hand of Protection, Divine Sacrifice

Or two macros
#showtooltip
/castsequence Hand of Protection, Divine Sacrifice

#showtooltip
/castsequence Divine Shield, Divine Sacrifice

I don't believe you can effectively use a modifier in a castsequence, so two buttons/hotkeys.

During PTR if you bubbled it would not break Divine Sac. It appears that has been fixed on Live.

You certainly want to Bubble before using Sac in a 25 man always, in a 10 man you may be able to get away with using Shield Wall + LoH if necessary, not so much in 25 man.

Strength food is about 8 dps better than fish feast, however the extra spell power will help you SS be stronger, and the fish may be "free".

Not to wishlist, but would it not make a bit more sense to have DSac off the gcd? I myself have insta-gibbed myself on trash "experimenting" with how much damage I might take with bubblewall up...needless to say I took far too much (25 man). Putting it off the gcd would allow you to macro it in with DS and BoP with no castsequence or overlap on coverage (thanks by the way - didn't realize bop would protect against the damage).

One question - Is all the incoming damage physical? In other words, does all incoming damage get nullified with BoP, or will BoP only protect against physical incoming raid damage (still leaving the possibility to getting smashed if the damage isn't absorbed)?

From what I've noticed yesterday the damage you take from Divine Sacrifice is the same damage type as the damage it's redirecting. Yesterday at XT-002 Deconstructor I was taking no damage from Tympanic Tamtrum while it was up if I used Hand of Protection at the same time, but I was taking damage from those who had either a Gravity or Light Bomb on them.

2 questions and 1 confirmation of sorts.

What's the best libram to get for ret now? the EoV one? (I havent even seen it, so I dont know.)


Everyone says ret should use judgement of light. I'm the only paladin in my raid (for 10 man) and 1) I run out of mana awfully fast and 2) I don't see the damage increase that others swear by. Am I messing something up?

annnd

I have almost no expertise. (9?) Should I gem for that until I hit the cap and then get str?

I don't believe there is any dps increase to Judge of Light as opposed to Judge of Wis

The best libram is the [Deadly Gladiator's Libram of Fortitude] until the furious version is available. This is especially so now that the buff lasts 10 seconds instead of 6.

You should judge light only if there is another paladin to judge wisdom. If there is not, it is highly recommended to judge wisdom with the exception of fights with a great amount of raid damage.

Your DPS will drop or rise depending on your current gear set up. You should not gem for expertise, only gather it from gear. You should gem for hit until hit capped (263 rating, 230 w/ draenei aura) and then strength all the way.

Ah, okay.

Between the Venture Co. and the EoV, which is better for our dps?

Venture Co. got an upgrade version in Ulduar:
[Libram of Discord]

How much dps are our glyphs worth, and are we happy with where "we are" with them atm? From what I can derive from Rawr, they're worth about 185 dps to me in my current gear, and that's all 3 (Judge, Exo and Cons). Is this in line with other damage dealing classes gain from glyphs?
