okay, i was speaking about the good players. i assumed that’s implied.
It’s a 20-year-old game.
The good players are off doing something else.
Good strat but dont like much drinking … reason why i dont enjoy too much mages
Over the years I’ve gotten really comfortable healing as a Ret Paladin, and I’ve found that especially in Vanilla if you’re not playing Paladin in more than one role that you’ll get bored really fast.
So I have Ret to solo with and deal damage in dungeons and I have a good set of healing gear (mostly leather) that I use to heal dungeons with.
Level 43 currently and my healing is only getting better now that all of my points are going into the Holy tree. I have the 30 points in Ret that i need for Vengeance, and I’ll be spending the next 21 in Holy to get Illumination and Divine Favor. I’ll be able to heal pretty much everything with that while still being able to deal damage when I want to by simply switching my gear out.
This is true. I went 14 prot to be confortable tanking, the rest of my points going holy and like you have a healing set. I enjoy a lot healing as paly and might eventually respec like you to be ret/holy instead of prot/holy
Though BOK is something nice to give my team, might keep 11 prot for that
Kings is nice, but you have to give up either Illumination or Vengeance to get it. Illumination is essential if you want to be a serious healer in content at level cap and without Vengeance Paladin damage doesn’t scale very well at all.
If you’re primarily focusing on Ret you can get Kings along with Precision, but if you want to be a Ret/Healing hybrid like I’m doing I think you have to give it up. You could focus on Holy and gear out for spell power in which case you can do the same hybrid style just differently but that gets really hard to gear for until you get gear from BWL.

crap I dont sub to this service, it became too expensive and i’d spend over a hour trying ot figure out to watch and when i did find something id pass out within 10 minutes of whatever i started to play! hahah
Dude.
You’re not that good.
Just got my pally to 20 and I had forgotten how big of an increase Seal of Command was. Easily cut my kill times in half over Seal of the Righteous.
Really? But it doesnt proc on all attacks, does it?
It procs off any attack (including bonus attacks), can crit, and is affected by the crusader judgment bonus. You want as slow a weapon as possible, with the chance to proc going up the slow the weapon is.
Do you take reckoning for more procs?
Isn’t there a speed cutoff point where SoR outperforms SoC? If I remember right it’s around 3.3 weapon speed.
Does anyone else remember that old topic from waaaaaay back in the day by that paladin poster made about how paladin is the best class in the game since you can watch pr0nos while playing it?
Anything below 3 for sure, not sure the exact cutoff speed though.
Explains the cooldown for lay on hands
The thing about Seal of Command is that it scales directly with your melee stats. Seal of Righteousness doesn’t. Seal of Righteousness scales with Spell Power.
If your melee stats aren’t great, SoR can actually be superior damage since it deals pretty much the same damage regardless of how much AP and Crit you have. But as you increase your gear level SoC will reward you because it scales with your weapon damage, and it can crit for full 2x melee damage which procs Vengeance which increases your damage further. etc. etc.
So it really all depends on your gear. The better your +Str, +Atk Power and how good your weapon is for your level the better SoC will perform.
The crit chance of SoC… is it based on melee crit chance or spell crit chance?
Like pretty sure SoR is nased on spell/holy crit chance right?
