Psh, we only lack an 11 pointer because they made our previous 11 pointer a 1-5 pointer. We probably should have one, though.

With the talent trees the way they are now, I will not likely be taking Kings. It has its value, but I feel that right now that value is lesser than 5 points spent elsewhere.

Depends how many 5/10 mans i do and how much i can count on other paladins to be in them. If you dont raid with another paladin, getting kings is probably worth it in any event, but by sanctuary not being crappy now, the main reason to get kings (for tanks) is not as required. Although like now, i'm sure people will still have a heart attack if every paladin doesn't have kings, even if they're t6 geared players doing a ssc farming run.

The main reason i see to skip kings is that you're (and every other tank really) going to want kings & sanctuary and if you get stuck with the hot potato, you wont be able to get both. If you get kings, you will either need a 2nd paladin with kings for optimal buffs (waste) or you will have to pick between kings/sanctuary.

oh and i think everyone is waiting on the next incoming changes which promise to have some new talents to fill in gaps and (hopefully) improvements.

Well, picking up Kings will make you loose some other talents. And We don't know if they add some nice talents.

I'll probably get it, but that is only because I don't run 25 mans. Also I doubt many Holy are gonna like to grab it since they will want to go into Ret for the extra crit. On the other hand Ret has more then enough points to get everything they want and Kings. I foresee it being the Ret's job to buff Kings in WotLK. I also wish they would give another class a Kings like ability to go with their whole overlap thing they got going on.

the overlap thing is more.. essential attack buffs.. like haste and whatnot.

Its not like more than one class has.. mark of the wild-ish or fortitude-ish.. the buffs remain class specific.

With the addition of spell crit to Conviction and Sanctified Seals, you'll see almost every raid specced Holy Paladin going 18 points in Retribution, thus getting Imp Might in the process. Ret has a far easier time sparing the five points for kings than Holy at the moment, since most of the excess in Ret is pvp/solo oriented.

Ret can provide Kings to all melee classes, while Holy provides the Imp Might.
