    Changes

    Judgement of Righteousness and Judgement of Fury now have the correct spell power coefficients for instant cast spells.

    Seal of Fury Rank 3 is now correctly available for training at level 26 (was incorrectly level 25).

    Blessing of Salvation and Greater Blessing of Salvation have been replaced with Salvation and Mass Salvation. These are applied in the same manner as the blessings were, but are not exclusive with blessings.

    Seal of Fury is no longer overwritten by Power Word: Shield.

    Protection

    Shield Specialization Mana restored to the Paladin lowered to 4% with a 3 second internal cooldown (was 6% with a 3 second internal cooldown).

    This restores the Classic Era functionality of storing up to 4 charges and delays all the triggers until your next swing so that it does not cause the auto attack timer to be reset by instant attacks.

    Reckoning: This talent has been adjusted so you gain a charge of Reckoning each time it triggers. Your next melee swing (auto attack) will trigger all accumulated charges for 1 extra attack each. You may have a maximum of 4 charges.

    Retribution

    Champion of the Light now increases your spell damage by 10/20/30% of your Intellect (was 20/40/60%).

    Sanctified Judgement’s Mana restore effect no longer generates threat.

    Changes

    Retribution Aura will now dynamically update its values based on the caster’s spell power.

    Holy Strike’s % of weapon damage per rank changed to 25%/29%/32%/36%/39%/43%/46%/50% (was 25%/25%/30%/30%/35%/35%/40%/40%).

    Holy

    Light’s Vigil’s tooltip has been reorganized to make it more clear that the damage component is the only version that returns some of the Mana cost.

    Retribution

    Vengeance now activates off of non-periodic critical strikes.

    Twist of Light now additionally reduces the Mana cost of your Seal spells by 20%.

    Two-Handed Weapon Specialization’s damage increase reduced to 2/4/6% (was 3/6/9%).
