Easier to OT in Wotlk!

Lots of people are concerned that off-tanking might get harder in WotLK with the Potion Sickness debuff being put in the game. I personally think that it will be easier now and I decided to compile a list of why.

Our Abilities
  • Hand of Sacrifice - Places a Hand on the party member, transferring 30% damage taken to the caster. Lasts 12 sec. 2 min cooldown.
  • Seal and Judgement of Wisdom - Now scales. Keeps changing so we don't know how good it will end up being, but scales non the less.
  • Divine Plea - 50% total mana every 5 minutes. Clearly designed for Holy Paladins, but still a crutch for off-tanking!
Their Abilities
  • Replenishment (the new mana battery effect) - There are now 3 classes who can fill this and the buff is now raid-wide (effecting the 10 targets with the lowest percentage of mana).

  • Spirit Link (Restoration Shaman 51-point) - You link the friendly target with up to two nearby friendly targets, causing 50% of any damage taken to be distributed to the linked targets. If any target takes a blow greater than 30% of their health, or shared damage would reduce a target's health below 20%, the link is broken. You can only have one link active at a time. 30 second duration, no cooldown.

  • Tricks of the Trade (new level 75 Rogue ability): The current party or raid member becomes the target of your Tricks of the Trade. The threat caused by your next attack and all actions taken for 6 sec afterwards will be transferred to the target. In addition, all damage caused by the target is increased by 15% during this time.
