It's been a while since I posted...been super busy at work. In addition, my A/C broke down last week. No to some people that is not that big a deal, but in Texas, no A/C in August is also known as HELL. This summer has been brutal on A/C units. Mine has broke down twice, and I know at least four other people that have had theirs broken down as well. Anywho.......
**Abbv used in this post:
CS=Crusader Strike
J=Judgement
HW=Holy Wrath
SHoR=Shield of the Righteous/Shield of Righteousness (whatever they decide to call it)
AS=Avenger's Shield
WoG=Word of Glory
So, from what I read, the Prot Paladin rotation in Cataclysm is still clunky. I have been following the beta information religiously, and have been trying to model out the possibilities on how the rotation is shaping up. Theck over at Maintankadin has summed it up the best (imo). The rotation falls basically as follows:
CS-J-X-CS-HW-X-CS-J-X-CS-X-X ... Repeat
The "X" in the rotations are for ShoR, AS, and any other utility abilities. Now, the ShoR we only want to use at three HoPo. So the first "X" after a third CS. Which shapes up like this:
CS-J-X-CS-HW-X-CS-J-SHoR-CS-X-X
With the talent Guarded by the Light, a Prot Paladin's Word of Glory will hit for 30% more, and any overhealing will be converted into a damage absorption shield. Kinda nice for a tank, right? So, to take advantage of that, and to stabilize this rotation more, we are gonna throw a 1 HoPo Word of Glory into the rotation.
CS-J-AS-CS-HW-X-CS-J-SHoR-CS-WoG-X ...Repeat
With the 1 HoPo Word of Glory put into the rotation, the rotation suddenly balances out and is repeatable.
But what about AS you say? Remember, with Grand Crusader, the AS in the rotation will move as GC procs. But disregarding AS's cooldown altogether, we still have the following repeatable rotation:
CS-J-X-CS-HW-X-CS-J-SHoR-CS-WoG-X ...Repeat.
Just put an AS in to any "X" position in the rotation whenever GC procs.
Yep, this rotation seems to be shaping up pretty well.
What do you guys think?
