    Holy Circle: Protection against what again?

    I'm a level 18 Paladin now and it's really bothering me. What is Holy Circle supposed to be helping against again? I haven't noticed any difference when fighting undead with it up. Does it help vs undead spells? Possibly against their melee? Looking for an experienced Paladin to shed some light on the subject.

      Yep I read what it says....

      The point was it seemed not to make any kind of noticeable difference. I guess it's so minimal you can't even tell.

            Uhm...

            In Beta I tried fighting Wights with and without Holy Circle and I did not notice any difference. I didn't pay attention to this before so maybe its only effective at really low levels?

              It sounds like it's only noticeable after the AF upgrade.

              I did gusgen Skeleton Warriors at 12 and didn't notice a thing.

                Well... i was in gusgen the other night as a 40 PLD.

                and i kept getting this message from the wights.

                "Wight feels intimidated by your presence."

                It acted as a paralyze and they didnt attack that turn.

                I am ASSUMING this is the effect of my protection against undead. but not certain...

                anybody know?

                  The paralyze effect was added last patch. It's affected by Undead Killer and Holy Circle. They also changed Holy Circle to 1 min duration, 10 minute reuse.

                    The patch notes explained what the killer job traits and circle abilities did before the patch.
                    Apparently, if the conditions are met, killer job trait adds haste when fighting mobs and circles slow the mob attacking. As a bonus, they added the Paralyze effect when the mob is "intimidated by your presence". It could be worse I guess.
