Quote:Now that 2.3 is live Tribade has respeced. Unfortunately the talent calculators have not been updated yet to link. Here is the question:

Is it better to take the last 8 points and put them into Redoubt (5) and Precision (3) -- or to pick up Deflection (2), Eye for an Eye (2), Crusade (3), and Sanctity Aura (1)? She is primarily a healer who does PvP, and needs to defend herself while questing and mining.

She has had Eye for an Eye for a while now and it does proc, but the choice is primarily between extra damage or increased chance to hit.

40/21 Holy/Ret is the build my Paladin uses for PvP most frequently. Simply defined, the shock jock build is the Paladin's answer to the Three Minute Mage™. You're a support healer for the most part (lacking a couple of talents in Holy and all of the Protection talents that the normal cookiecutter Holy/Prot healbot builds have), and burst DPS when you need to. Once you break 1000 spellpower (which is somewhat difficult to do; you'll only have around 800-900 base through arena gear), you can quite easily burst 7,000-9,000 Holy damage in a few seconds with Avenging Wrath going and Judgement of the Crusader on your target; this is against a target with light Resilience, though. You could probably break 12,000 with the battleground Berserker buff as well.

I wouldn't recommend Deflection; before the buff to Improved Seal of the Crusader and Vindication, I grabbed it because I felt the 5% extra avoidance while soloing and between bursts while fighting in melee was better than the alternatives. Now that Vindication's gotten one hell of a buff, though, I can't see putting anything into Deflection since you can't avoid attacks while casting.
