Posted by Eyonix on the general forums today:
While we're not ready to reveal the improvements being made to the upcoming Paladin's talents just yet, I wanted to give each of you a sneak preview of some of things you can expect from the next patch in addition to the talent revamp. The minor details are as follow:



The range on 'Judgment' will be increased. In addition, both the cooldown and mana cost will be lowered.
Both Exorcism and Holy Wrath will be usable on Demon targets in addition to Undead targets.
The mana cost will be reduced for both the summoned Warhorse and Charger.
The missile speed of the flying hammer for the spell 'Hammer of Wrath' will be increased.
We're also adding raid versions for five of the Paladin's blessings. These new raid version blessings will last for fifteen minutes, and allow the Paladin the means to buff every player of a given class in the raid by selecting only one. These blessings will be available at your class trainer and the only prerequisite is the final rank (talent point where applicable) of the Blessing.


Blessing of Sanctuary
Blessing of Kings
Blessing of Might
Blessing of Wisdom
Blessing of Salvation
We're also adding a new spell 'Righteous Fury' to replace the Seal and Judgment of Fury. This spell, first available at level 16 is a self buff which will last for 30 minutes and substantially increases the threat generated by all Paladin Holy attacks, in turn allowing the player to focus on Seals which provide greater DPS as this buff works in conjunction with all other buff effects.

Please note that these are only a few of the changes slated for the next patch, and more will be announced shortly - including the talent calculator preview which will debut the three improved talent trees.Looks good so far! Can't wait to see the talent calculator with the new trees!

Yea, the new talent tree would suggest that we will get to respec for free too. This would be very nice.

I'm excited about the raid blessings, I hope that the paladins in Troika are conferring with each other to ensure we have a good spread of talents like:
- Light (imp)
- Wisdom (imp)
- Sanctuary
- Might (imp)

gonna be sweet to have 15 minute blessings!

Blessing of Light isn't on the list. I assume they are removing Blessing of Light and giving our heals buffs instead.

Doh, I love blessing of light! That's like overall healing efficiency lost!

Well, the rumor is, they are going to put that into our default heals so its like BoL is always on. Could change obviously but I wouldnt be surprised if thats what they do.

I don't know if you guys want to do anything, but for maximum output of raids. But did you guys want to get together either in guild speak/team speak and see what the guild needs as far as maximum blessings? Such as Kings, salvation, wisdom etc. I think we have, what six paladins in OoE? I'll volunteer for one of them, but we should get a little planning when the time comes so we all don't pick the same thing. We could but really that's probably not going to be the case.

That's probably not a bad idea, but we'll probably need to wait until they realease the final talent tree. Someone may want to get on the test server as well and actually try some of it out.
