Quick Judgement Clarification

Even if judgements didn't overwrite the best paladins to judge light and wisdom are ret and prot for the simple fact they will keep a 100% debuff uptime since they judge on every cd as part 0f their rotation.
Holy paladins have to judge only once every minute, that means only a 1/3 uptime on judgement debuff or expend GCDs judging instead of healing. And if I have GCDs to spare I would rather throw a Sacred Shield on a DPS that may take damage rather than judging unnecessarily.

You'd have to check the combat log; see what the average interval between the boss's attacks is when JotJ is definitely up (being sure about this might require some cooperative behavior from the other paladins), then check the interval when JotJ is not up.

Try to pick a boss who doesn't cast anything. The Maiden of Virtue, for example, had a 2.20 weapon speed IIRC but because of casting delays she would hit you an average of once every 2.6 seconds. I'd hate to have to analyze the slow effect from a Maiden parse...

You want your paladin with the highest AP to judge light. The return on Wisdom is a fixed amount, while the amount healed by light scales off of the AP of the judging paladin.


I very often have to judge light because of my AP (hit 5120 buffed the other night. It was SICK).
