Arenas
Between raiding on my hunter, I have been playing my paladin in 2v2 arenas with a mage friend of mine, and it has been really fun.
I was playing Retribution with him, and we were winning just under half of our games, and I chalked it up to a lack of experience. However, I recently switched to a healing spec for it, and we have been doing MUCH better, going 22-15 this week, which is a significant improvement over our previous showings.
The spec, however, isn’t a normal healing spec. It actually goes into PROTECTION, and I have to say it is incredible. Talents like Touched By the Light (30% of your stamina as Spellpower) help keep spellpower up to strong levels, and I get a great boost to stamina and survivablitity. Avenger’s Shield is also a great damaging attack which also has a 3 second silence with another talent. If you glyph it, it does even more damage to the single target.
The spec is 19/52/0. You can probably look it up anywhere (I forget where I found it, but there are threads about it on many forums), and I encourage you to try it out if you are a holy paladin doing 2v2. My mage friend totally failed and didn’t iceblock against a hunter/rogue team last night and got bursted down quick. So it was me with a rogue at 100% and a hunter at about 80%. No worries, I just slowly worked down the hunter, then killed the rogue. Holy Shield and Redoubt help against rogues, and I just healed myself when I needed to, and we had a win instead of what seemed like an imminent loss. It was awesome.
I encourage everyone to try NEW specs and different specs, because you never know what you will find. There are vast amounts of sites and forums out there where you can find cool and interesting ideas for specs and talents, so give them a read if you are struggling or just simply want to improve.
