  1. 
Patch 7.2 Changes
| Skill Name | Category | Changes | 
|---|---|---|
| Weaponskill | Potency has been increased from 100 to 120. | |
| Weaponskill | Combo potency has been increased from 170 to 220. | |
| Weaponskill | Potency has been increased by 50 while under the effect of Divine Might or Requiescat. | |
| Weaponskill / Ability | The potency falloff past the initial target has been changed from -50% to -60%. | 
Paladin's 2-target burst damage was nerfed with the magic sequence having more potency falloff. However, the base AoE combo and 
 Holy Circle being buffed does
actually increase overall AoE throughput in mass pull scenarios (4+ targets) even factoring in the nerf to your 
 Confiteor combo. In single target, Paladin's damage remains unchanged.
