Ah true, I missed the % increase, but double the effect for 1/3 the time is still a nerf, and I'm not sure any tank could be considered "OP" in the Cataclysm environment.

Because that's what protadins need - another cooldown.

This is such an obnoxious change. I'd love to know the rationale behind it. Another button to push for mitigation? And more frequently at that? Gee, I can't wait to tank Maloriak adds with that to look forward to.

I mean, not to be a wet blanket, but after all the fuss they made about the new Holy Power setup for Cata, it's about to become next to worthless for a good number of situations. If I'm tanking a boss, I'm rarely worried about threat, so Inquisition and Shield of the Righteous are just there to have something to do with the Holy Power. Word of Glory? Just sort of hanging around for that moment when the healer seems to be picking his nose.

I don't play other tanks, at least not since mid-Wrath. Are we really that OP compared to everyone else? Was this a necessary "bring 'em in line" adjustment or one of those "Why are they still fiddling with that?" sort of moments?

Please keep in mind that Blizzard recently stated that they would be trying out several new things for Prot paladins on the PTR.

Remember the Holy Shield change last week that got reverted almost immediately?

The sky isn't falling... yet. That'll happen once they tell us we won't be able to avoidance cap anymore >:D hahaha
