The vast majority of the fights where mana becomes a concern (read: hard modes) don't provide paladins an opportunity to melee because they shouldn't be near the boss. Modeling your mana return on a...

Strats vary, but I'm not even near a boss for half the fights. It's definitely not something I would rely on in my calculations.

If you are interested in ICC hard modes, swinging for SoW procs should be crossed off your list of viable ways to regen mana. You won't have the opportunity to do it on any phase that matters.

Trauma has garbage itemization (0 haste or mp5, ho-hum int), and from what I've heard, the proc rate is currently like 1%, which would be pretty awful for a single target heal. Trauma might end up...

There's a difference between "can" and "want to". Assuming we're talking about tank healing (ie, constant damage), steady mediocre healing is preferrable to inconsistent massive healing. People...

This is a good change for the long haul because it'll force Blizz to take a look at the forebearance mechanic. It's stupid that our class is balanced around abilities that are apparently so...

While paladins have become accustomed to DS in its current form, keep in mind that a 20% raid-wide damage reduction is incredibly powerful even for 6 seconds. Every healing class would love to have...

Despite my utter contempt for FoL builds, it did occur to me that Blizz flipped the old t6 set bonuses so that the 5% to FoL is now the 2pc bonus, and t6 is the only post-vanilla set with a full 8...

I think what the previous poster meant was that FoL builds are dependent on having other pallies keep SS up for the FoL hot.

HL provides "very steady tank healing." I mean, at the FoL haste cap, the difference in cast times between FoL and HL is, what, like .3 seconds? And that gets smaller as you push over the haste cap...

If you're going to concede that HL pallies make better tank healers and put out better hps overall, then the only thing left for a FoL pally is that they provide some raid healing.

If a proponent of...

Mathematically, FoL is a substandard spell in nearly every respect. The only argument that can be advanced on its behalf is that having multiple paladins undermines the effectiveness of HL for many...

If you're sniping raid heals with holy shock, I can see why you might think the set bonus is good. But I haven't thrown a heal at the raid during a progression encounter in months. Holy shock is...

This 4pc bonus is amazing for PvP and next to useless in a standard PvE encounter. Holy shock and holy light are like diametric opposites in terms of their function in a raid setting. Using shock to...

Does removing your SS from a target with the SS HoT on it also remove the SS HoT?

I'm wondering if it would be feasible to pre-SS anything you were going to FoL if you were on raid duty. This would...
