"Seal of Blood": This seal will no longer cause additional chances for weapon procs to trigger.


So...pretty much the only reason to use SoB was for the weapon procs, now it's overall useless. Why can't they give BE SoV?

Cause Blood Elves get (imo) a superior level 50 quest item and a unique looking tabard as part of their epic mount quest (still mad about that, I want a friggin Paly only tabard ...).

Eh, other than that, no idea :P

Blizzard obviously hates Horde :). Why do you think the Alliance has a bridge compared to our...oh sh%t we have nothing to compare to their bridge in Alterac Valley.

I'd swap your epic mount questline for my SOV if i could.

Nerf? Perhaps on this one single item, but when you consider the Spiritual Attunement nerf, that one makes for a huge boost for Blood Elves.

With 2.1 you don't get mana at full health, and the changes in the prot tree are going to help keep a prot pallie at full health for long timespans.

This is an issue with alliance pallies, as full health may very well lead to getting OoM fast.

BE have a very simple solution, Seal of Blood, which suddenly changed from a "huh, what's that good for exactly" ability into a primary tanking seal.

Same for holy - as exposing a healer to AoE or cleaves isn't necessarily the best thing (and not always predictable), standing out of a Cleave zone and hitting a SoB every so often ensures that those VE heals keep the mana flowing. The difference between a cleave or AoE and SoB? You're in control, not the boss. Less stellar for holy than prot? Certainly. But SoB suddenly gets a lot more utility than SoV.

Rate up for you, Alastaironsiren.

I really didn't see it this way and, yes, SoB might at last have a good use. That's a pretty good perspective of what seemed a ridiculously bad ability.

Wow, I never thought of that either, but it makes a lot of sense. But alas, I'm a Human Paly, so it don't matter to me anyway :P

Isn't SoB complete white damage? You'd be better off with righteous or command just because of righteous fury.

Secondly, why is this such a major nerf? How many weapons actually have a CoH that would actually matter?

Thirdly, SoV isn't even that great. 150 damage every 3 seconds with 5 applys of it. I think that blows, but thats just me.

Throw on a Judgemment of the Crusader, and I've been getting about 250-260 damage every 3 seconds. It's a decent DoT. Then judge SoV and it can crit for like 1300. And the DoT's remain on the target even when judging against it.

At least that's my experience so far with my level 64 paladin.

The point you're missing is that SoB also damages the pallie, giving him more options to recover at least some of the mana an alliance pallie won't get if his health is still topped from dodging / parrying / blocking because of the SA nerf.

Mine too. Even more fun is get a 5 stack on it, judge it for the big hit then bring up righteousness (I usually do this if I know I'm not going to get another judgement in or if it will be close). Now I'm still ticking 250 dmg every 3 seconds plus getting all my dmg from SoR.

I don't think that sucks at all. But that's just me.

Granted it's better with a faster weapon because the stack gets applied faster but that's generally what I'm using.
