We think the powerful paladin defenses have been one of the things holding Retribution paladins back final fantasy xiv gil , especially in Arenas. final fantasy xiv gil, One change we’re considering is lowering Divine Shield’s duration by a couple of seconds.
Having said that, Retribution does pretty well in Battlegrounds ffxiv gil , and Battlegrounds will be a much bigger focus in Cataclysm since they can provide the best PvP rewards.

Flash of Light remains the expensive ffxiv gils , fast heal and Holy Light is the go-to heal that has average efficiency and throughput.

Holy paladins will use spirit as their mana regeneration stat. Protection paladins need a different rotation between single-target and multi-target tanking. Likewise buy wow gold , we’re looking to add the necessity to use an additional cooldown in each rotation. buy wow gold,
Holy Shield will no longer have charges. It will be designed to improve block chance while active, and will continue to provide a small amount of damage and threat.
