My Paladin Respec

[Rinnhart]

There's a few points I disagree with you on, but I'm gonna pick on your tier 7 talent blurbs:

Those of you who listen to me in guild chat know that I rag on BoK a lot. It's not that I don't see the value in it, but it's like back in the old D2 days when I was the only one who wasn't a huge fan of max Warmth (this was before spell timers and everyone eventually coming around to my view). Yes, it's useful, but not as useful as everyone makes it out to be. BoK's a nice blessing, but it's a "third blessing", because every class is going to have two blessings they want more than BoK. DPS classes will want Salvation and then Wisdom or Might. Warriors will want Sanctuary and Might, and possibly even Light. Salvation is 30% more damage for DPS classes, and similarly,

Agreed. There is never a situation where a cloth class should have kings over wisdom, and only a few where kings is preferable to salvation.

Might adds far more attack power than Kings,

Kings also adds to any agility based defensive ability, hp, mana, ac, regeneration, blocking power, and crit chance for good measure.

while Sanctuary adds far more survivability than Kings. I don't underestimate its value, but I see its limitations clearly, as well.

Any warrior worth grouping with is near the mitigation cap. Crap, any paladin worth keeping around won't receive the listed -damage/hit from Sanctuary.

Sanctuary's a waste of points.

Ugh. Given the way Seal of Justice works, all ISoJ does is rapidly make it so your target is immune to your stuns. And Repentance, the worst CC in the game, has precisely one use I can see - hitting a Ghost Wolf shaman running away with your flag in the Warsong Gulch BG. Doubt it's worth 31 points.

In PvP, especially small group PvP, Repentance is the Paladin's eqaulizer. It's an additional interrupt, it's an additional short stun for healing, it stops those goddamn mages and they can't blink out of it. What's not to like?

When, if ever, is just Sanctity a good choice? Especially over Blessing of Kings? The answer is: if you expect to solo a lot. It's difficult to overstate the anemia that characterizes paladin damage past 40 post SotC-nerf. It's critical to squeeze out every last bit of damage you can, and in that comparison, Sanctity is strictly superior to BoK. BoK does not and cannot provide the enhancement to damage that BoM does, especially if you've got IBoM. Sanctity can be used concurrent with BoM, and combined with SoC can provide a noticeable DPS increase.

I'll take the additional mitigation of Devotion or a resistance aura or the additional damage of Retribution over Sanctity any day. Post 40 soloing is about efficiency, above all else. EFFICIENCY IS YOUR GOD. An efficient paladin's not doing alot of damage. Seals and judgments are mana hogs. Wisdom over all other Blessings, something over the iSoR/Sanctity/Holy Shock line. Horrible waste of talents.

Oh, Holy Shock... when will you stop blowing so much? I love you... but we can never be together. Not like this.
