Notes that apply by 50

  • Seal of Command at level 20 is the engine: 70% weapon damage procs. Judge it on big pulls and let Sanctified Judgement refund mana.
  • Two-Handed Weapon Specialization and Vengeance stack with crits from Conviction; Pursuit of Justice is 15% movement speed, which is worth two talent points on any leveling route.
  • Champion of the Light converts up to 60% of Intellect into spell damage, so Holy Strike, Judgements and Consecration scale with the mail you are wearing.
  • Unsealed Wrath at 40 stores copies of your Seal; use Holy Strike (trained) to spend them.
