Any change for the better is good for out class as Paladins. Protection does need focus maybe after they finish work on Rets whenever that will finally be For Protection some: Spell Reflect ability or Some way to counter spells and some way to boost protection paladins spell damage since were the one that has to generate the threat in front of a mob on any of our spells.
Yet i’m not holding my breath i’ll believe it when i see Blizz makes it all live.

Has been some good advancements to Paladins in Patch 2.2, mainly the increase to time for Paladin buffs.
Being a Holy Paladin, I’d prefer to see more on that spec, but I suppose beggars can’t be chosers
I believe Blizz has it’s work cut out getting 2.2 right, before we start speculating about 2.3.

“some way to boost protection paladins spell damage since were the one that has to generate the threat in front of a mob on any of our spells”
i believe paladins are fine in generating threat. well I don’t have an issue.
I did look at your armory Galo and you may want to replace a few points and put it into One-handed weapon specialization. That will help increase your damage and your spell damage

Doesn’t look like a very official post, nor does it look realistic.
Looks like someone took what everyones been saying on forums forever, and put it into a post…then spread the rumor that a Blue posted it.

It’s concur…
You’re not taking over his statement are you?
rofl.
Also, it can’be true because the rumored changes would be odd considering the change to Fanaticism to reduce threat by 30%
This would leave no reason to have the +25% reduction w/ 2h.
