I'm gearing up for Karazhan, and have been contemplating my talents for Karazhan.
I have a guide at the top of the paladin forums, try reading section 2 and maybe 3
I must ask if you people think Improved Retribution aura is worth the two points for the threat it will bring?
assuming you have ~60% block/damage intake rate, you reflect ret aura back 3/5 times
13 more damage = 24.7 more threat
3/5 of that,
14.82 threat generation on average per mob swing
assuming mob swings every 2 sec, that's 7.4 TPS
that 2 points in Crusade or one-handed expertise goes up as your gear progresses, but
2% damage increase = 2% threat increase
for 2% damage to be > 7.4, you need around 375 TPS
assuming that you have 50 melee DPS, 325 TPS can be divided by holy damage
171 holy DPS is needed
assuming that you have at least: 100~150 Consecration DPS, 200~250 Seal DPS, damage reflection from Holy shield and blessing of Sanctuary with 50% block is about 75 DPS
much much higher than TPS from imp. ret aura
so I would rather put the points in 1 handed weapon expertise
I also have a question about one-handed weapon specialization
This has been covered in the paladin forums, but, I'll give you a straightforward answer:
All damage you do while you have a non-broken one handed weapon is increased by 5%, including retribution aura, holy shield, all seals, melee damage, consecration, blessing of sanctuary, etc.
One-Handed Weapon SpecializationOne-Handed Weapon Specialization Rank 5
Increases all damage you deal when a one-handed melee weapon is equipped by 5%.
