It was expected. I had to deal with a FoK specced rogue in 2v2 a few days ago and it was absurd. I could not get a single heal off and there was enormous damage being put out. This talent now provides 20/40/60% of the paladin strength as spell power instead of 10/20/30% of the paladin stamina to get power leveling.

This is an excellent change, no doubt about it. The talent Touched by the Light currently gives my paladin about 500 spellpower, but with the new changes there will be a net drop of about 450 spellpower for protection specced paladins. And finally, there has been a slight nerf to Judgments of the Just, which is a talent that currently reduces the hammer of justice of protection paladins by 20 seconds. Judgments of the Just: The reduction in cool down to Hammer of Justice provided by this talent has been reduced to 5/10 seconds instead of 10/20 seconds.

I still think Blizzard should just remove Judgments of the Just entirely as a protection specced paladin does not need a stun about power leveling, especially in raids. And of course I am fully expecting people to say I am a hypocrite because I was specced protection for 2v2, but that does not mean I did not want the spec nerfed. It was a huge oversight by Blizzard to give a spec (which was not supposed to have any real healing capabilities) so much utility wherein it could be useful in arena at all.

I felt that after writing on WoM for over a month now it is time that I talk a little about what I use as a template for my articles. I feel the need to talk about this because I have gotten a lot of flak from all sides lately regarding my writing here on WoM, and I wanted to explain why I do what I do and take in some feedback from the community about power leveling.
