Hand of Salvation

"Blessing of Salvation renamed Hand of Salvation, now reduces total threat on the target by 2% per second for 10 seconds while also reducing all damage and healing done by 10%. Only one Hand spell can be on the target per paladin at any one time. Now costs 6% of base mana."*

Hands for short blessings such as protection, freedom or sacrifice? Great! No more overwriting 10 or 30 minute buffs for a short term situational buff.

Remove Blessing of Salvation and make it one of these hands? NO FUCKING WAY!

I will state this now. I will not sit in a raid throwing a "Hand of Salvation" on retarded slack jawed yokel mages/locks/SPs/rogues/hunters/etc who cannot manage their own aggro.

Aggro management is a personal thing, not to be placed in the hands of someone else. If you can't watch Omen and make sure you don't overtake the tank on threat then you deserve to die! Why should a pally be assigned to baby sit you? As far as I am concerned it is taking away yet another skill that makes a good raider and makes DPS easy mode. leading to less pallies.

If Blizzards intention for Paladins in WotLK is to sit in the raid spamming this stupid broken crap mechanic of a buff then I am main-swapping :P

Welcome to T7 content EvilBastard.

Here endeth the lesson.

Watching Threat will all be everyone real responsibility in WotLK given the proposed changes. After several dps death im sure they will get the idea.
