Quick paladin question

Do you find having to press SoR or SoC every 30 seconds for buff annoying?

Thats my understanding of it anyway.

Thinking of levelling one as my first alliance character…end game would be ret or holy pvp.

Some might see this as no big deal, but the idea of it sounds quite tedious to me and is putting me off levelling one.

If we didn’t have to press it every 30 seconds we wouldn’t have any rotation at all.

(Pretend a paladin said that. )

It’s basically the only thing you have to press, how could it be annoying?

Playing a paladin is a lot like wanding things with the occasional heal as a priest. I think you’ll find it right up your alley.

sometimes it runs out while youre watching “netflix”

only thing i can complain about pallies is my friend that hasn’t rolled DD alliance yet.

honestly i find blessings to be more annoying than seals. seals rarely run out during a fight. crusader -> judge -> command/righteous -> loot.
blessings are always falling off

Don’t think of it as a buff. That’s entirely the wrong way to look at it.
Think of it as an attack spell. If someone said, “I’m considering playing a priest, but you use Smite multiple times, even in one combat, right? That sounds tedious,” it would be immediately apparent that what they were saying was goofy; it’s no different for Seal of Righteousness.

It brings nostalgia memories, seal and judgement system no longer exists in modern wow.

Can confirm.

I guess I am doing it wrong… I use judgement on cool down, seal doesn’t last 30 seconds. To me, the issue is avoiding clipping autostrikes.

It’s not that bad, you don’t exactly have a crap ton of things to push anyways.

Judgement on CD is very mana intensive. Unless you’re at high mana, Judge SotC and use either SoC or SoR depending on weapon speed and auto attack. You will regenerate mana while you are auto attacking, which is useful for efficiency. You can also Judge right at the end of your seal’s duration if you won’t need to reapply SotC. If fights are actually short (and there’s a lot of weak mobs) judge SoR then reapply Seal and bop them.

SoR is for <3.5s weapon speed and SoC is for >3.5s weapon speed too.

For style points, when you get a Vengeance proc drop Consecration when you’re 51+.

Personally I like the style. I usually judge wisdom on the mob to get mana back, and use righteousness for dmg. I’ve found using a quick weapon is better when relying on more procs from a wisdom or light judgement. However if you are going to go ret with a 2h you want to just use a crusader judgement with seal of command. Unless it’s a running mob. Then always judge justice to keep them from running.

Paladins are auto attacking machines, ANY ability that you can press makes the class more fun to play.
