Holy/Divine Purpose (49/0/22) by Nethers

You can get 2 in Holy Guidance instead of Pure of Heart, your choice

Advantages: (based vs HoJ spec)

  • HoF removes stun, one of the best talent in paladin trees
  • Higher crit and burst
  • Undispellable seals
  • Lower mana cost on instant casts
  • Better movement


Disadvantages: (based vs HoJ spec)
  • Short HoF duration
  • Only CC is on 1 min cooldown
  • 30% dispel resistance vs 60% of HoJ build
  • Missing BoK


Glyphs:
Minor:Glyph of the Wise / Glyph of Sense Dead. For the third you can pick whatever you like doesn't really matter.
Major:Glyph of Seal of Wisdom / Glyph of FoL. The third one is your choice really, Glyph of Holy Light , Glyph of Seal of Light vs heavy burst teams, Glyph of HoJ for better CC.

3 Points in Lights Grace? Why? How many times do you get to cast 1 HL? Never 2 in a row unless you are bubbled.

3 Points in blessed life to get 10% chance to take 50% dmg reduction is way way better.

Why no holy guidance!
GromdurJan 6, 2009 - 5:32 PM (HideShow)

NethersJan 7, 2009 - 12:42 AM (HideShow)
divine intelect > holy guidence
You just benefit alot more from intelect atm
EpedemicJan 7, 2009 - 4:37 AM (HideShow)
Why would a holy pally put 2 into vindication, how often is he gonna be running around and meleeing? Doesn't make sense to me
NethersJan 7, 2009 - 5:03 PM (HideShow)
it procs on spells also
NethersJan 7, 2009 - 10:48 PM (HideShow)
bah, 2 in blessed hands instead of Holy Guidence is better i think :/
BloodnautJan 8, 2009 - 2:45 PM (HideShow)
prob put 2 in vindication to open up divine purpose.. none of the other ret skills will be any more useful, may as well drop their stats 20%.. sides you gotta do a little bit o melee now and again

Divine Intellect does not give so much benefit, since pvp gear has lower int than pve gear. Might be worth more if pvp-ing in pve gear in your first few arena matches, but if you do that, the divine guardian holy spec might be much better for you.

I've seen that some people go 2/5(Divine Intellect) and 5/5(Holy Guidance) while other go 5/5(Divine Intellect) and 2/5(Holy Guidance). To calm my insecurities i did some math regarding this issue, here's what i got:

Assuming 643 BASE int (decent pvp gear) here are the benefits of the following builds:

2/5(Divine Intellect) and 5/5(Holy Guidance):
-39 intellect---(0.41% crit, 570 mana)
-136 spell power

5/5(Divine Intellect) and 2/5(Holy Guidance):
-96 intellect---(1.01% crit, 1403 mana)
-60 spell power

You should definitely try out Glyph of Turn Evil... It rocks vs Locks/DKs
NetherssJan 19, 2009 - 9:46 PM (HideShow)
seal of light, fol and turn evil i think in 3.0.8
SqueekyJan 24, 2009 - 4:42 AM (HideShow)
Should i take this with a DK!?
PurdueJan 29, 2009 - 1:32 PM (HideShow)
Lights Grace << Blessed Life
CatmuhFeb 2, 2009 - 6:04 AM (HideShow)
Does Blessed Life and the Glyph stack ?

And do you think its worth it?

Thx alot, ~muh.
CatmuhFeb 2, 2009 - 6:08 AM (HideShow)
umm, i think that blessed life only reduces the manacost of all hands..l2r :<
DractonMar 2, 2009 - 12:53 AM (HideShow)
Um blessed hands reduces the mana cost of all hands. Blessed life is has the chance to take half damage. Nice reading yourself.

Hello people i want to start a PvP Holy paladin got bored from retri pallies :P hehe i've been trying to create my own talent build as holy for pvp, and just now i went to a talent calculator and did this http://www.wowarmory.com/talent-calc.xml?cid=2&tal=503520503002130531305102005002000000000000000000000005032050000000000000000000 i think its good for pvp and arena dont you think ? but 2 things i dont know about if its good for pvp or not (Judgments o the Pure and Enlightened Judgments) i dont think they are important for pvp .. but please tell me what do you think abou tthe talent and thank you
MuerdaJun 10, 2009 - 10:43 AM (HideShow)
Viva, Light's Grace is pretty useless, you never do 2 Holy Lights in a row. Mabye when you bubble because your almost dead, but you mainly do bubble to break cc if your partner is in trouble, id replace that with Stoicism.
NollasJun 10, 2009 - 6:05 PM (HideShow)
Reply to KS : Yea sadly the prot healing spec works quite well against most teams. I have been running it in 2v2, 27k hp, 15k mana, and 2300 SP on top of being really hard to kill by melee and a stun on a 20 sec CD. Though it does have its weekness it is a bad ass spec to start out with untill you get better gear for survivability.
DisturpleJun 12, 2009 - 3:30 AM (HideShow)
Divine purpose takes 25 talent point to get to now so i don't have it on my pally. I'm currently looking at using this spec, any thoughts?

StiflerJun 19, 2009 - 2:57 PM (HideShow)
im going to agree about the prot spec. running it with a dk, you get a stun and silence everyone 20 seconds on top of his stuns and silences.
AvengerlightJul 6, 2009 - 7:23 PM (HideShow)
so i see there is a prot spec out there :P what is the tree for that? im just starting out and would like to figure that in since im running with a dk atm in 2s
MehereJul 23, 2009 - 4:09 PM (HideShow)
Yea, would be nice whit a tree for the prot spec. Have tryed ret spec but cant get it to work good. So going to change to new spec.
BoneknightAug 6, 2009 - 9:34 AM (HideShow)
holyprot is FotM so why roll for this spec?
BloodslainSep 28, 2009 - 1:00 PM (HideShow)
