As my buddy summed it up to me when I was raging about the change, its totally PvP mechanics change. It was a way to make paladins less faceroll in PVP setting and a way to take mana out of the picture on a melee class. They wanted the paladin melee to be less bursty and it also made the AOE useless in the Wrath, we hate AOE, expansion.

Man, I'm too slow. Quoting people like silly lately .

yes, Trigeminal is 100% correct.

If holy power were like the rogue version... holy CRAP.

Best example is Witch Elf/ WitchHunter from Warhammer Online too. That was pretty much the only thing that appeared revolutionary from WAR (and today, WAR is most likes revoLOLtionary nowadays).

Well, I did like using Word of Glory as an emergency tool -- BEFORE you, Blizzard, nerfed a cooldown on it.
What pisses me off is that I was actually using it to farm spots with ton of mobs to kill, but it is pretty much impossible.

Again, I must say, Blizzard devs are simply too "nearsighted" regarding their impression about Paladin. They just plan for today and lol at tomorrow.

Win. /thread. QFT. All that stuff.

Its horrible and feels clunky on Holy spec


It was not a problem when Holy Light (efficient heal) gave Holy Power but i completely agree it was to much but ever since that nerf Holy Power has never felt right

As a casual ret Pally, I just wait until something lights up and press that button.

It is one of the most retarded decisions the B team has made, and that is saying a lot.

Paladins have been completely overhauled as a class several times, and this last time was way beyond stupid. It shows that the developers are completely clueless.

NO ONE was asking for the holy power mechanic. It astounds me that a company can actually lose over half a million customers yet still not wake up and start firing everyone currently in charge.
