Cataclysm Pally changes

[Omegaman]

Guardian of Ancient Kings (level 85): Summons a temporary guardian that looks like a winged creature of light armed with a sword. The visual is similar to that of the Resurrection spell used by the paladin in Warcraft III. The guardian has a different effect depending on the talent spec of the paladin. For Holy paladins, the guardian heals the most wounded ally in the area. For Protection paladins, the guardian absorbs some incoming damage. For Retribution paladins, it damages an enemy, similar to the death knight Gargoyle or the Nibelung staff. 3-minute cooldown. 30-second duration (this might vary depending on which guardian appears).

CrAzY!

I think that's pretty cool, tbh.

Beacon only affecting flash is interesting. Pretty sure when he called Flash an "expensive" heal it was a typo.  Sacred Shield for 30 minutes, also cool.

Holy shield no-charges is neat.

I dont think it was a typo, honestly. We'll see though. It will change 1,000 times before it goes live so i'm taking everything with a grain of salt right now.

No dude. No. 2012 was a typo, 2010 is the dicking, man.

I found this quote on the healing forums today:

"Shaman will be the new MT healers. Paladins will probably have a hard time finding a spot in endgame raiding guilds to be honest. "

As you can see, you are CLEARLY fucked. What, didn't you read the preview? You are FUCKED.

      Flash of Light remains a fast heal, but will be more expensive to justify the cast speed.

There we go. The wording sucked.

Yea, it's saying the same thing but worded differently so people will stop freaking out. They won't.

Flash of Light remains a fast heal, but will be more expensive to justify the cast speed. Holy Light will be the go-to heal that has average efficiency and throughput.

Beacon of Light needs to be changed so that its benefit is letting the paladin heal two targets at once, not letting the paladin get two heals for the mana cost of one. It’s intended to save GCDs and targeting time, not mana.

That's a big nerf to Beacon of Light.

[Djfurball]

It had to happen - Paladin tank healing is incredibly unbalanced right now.

In it's CURRENT state, maybe - but Cataclysm is a total redesign of the healing system. You have to think about it in the right context before using words like 'nerf' or 'buff' or 'OP' or whatever.

How does one think about it in the Cataclysm context when we haven't been shown what the instances will be like?
