Upcoming Paladin changes

Mozzle, i must disagree with you. Every guild that takes raiding even moderately seriously will tell players to read up on fights. If you pull a fail in a raid, they will tell you to research your class and if you pull another fail, then you may need to join another guild. If a player refuses to even spend time bettering himself, why does he deserve gear? That is my / all of my guild leaders philosophy.

before i start i will say that i have many alts, several of them being 80 already. From Rogue to Mage to Shammy to Pally, the noticable changes have taken a severe course with me. i know why the pallies are the true herioc class, and its not to be able to compete with the dks like much of the WoW universe believe. Its to fix the tank shortage. Blizz wants you to play a pally. Blizz wants YOU to tank... they failed to fix the tank shortage with the dk class, and realized how terrible players are with them to attempt. dont get me wrong the dk class, is one hell of a way to have fun, and if properly thought out, can be easy to use for tanking. However the players just arent getting it. So what does blizzard do? They introduce dual speccing and buff the pallies out the wazzu... Not only to help with the tanking, but healing as well. as time passed by blizzard began to understand that most players didnt want to read up on their classes, but would rather just go about smashing keys endlessly in hopes of finally pulling off the achievement that they desire. so blizzard has chosen to do what many people thought they would never do. Make a class playable by simply bashing your head off the keyboard. Now even 12 year olds understand that by pretending to play a symphony on their computer keyboard while in a battleground or instance, they can see HK's and glittering bodies as far as their video card will allow them. i can barely bring myself to play one anymore for the simple fact that it has become to easy to play the game with one. Maybe i'll break down and level a druid now... wait wait... Blizzard just decided to nerf them. Guess they were providing too much threat to the already OP Paladins.

There is good thing's here and bad things.Paladanin's are getting more overpowered but there attacks are being destoryed a little bit.But i am looking forward to the new patch because my main is a 51 paladin(leighton server nagrand)and i realy want the 100% speed mount.It is becoming a level 40 mount and 60% mounts are becoming level 20 and flyers 60 but epic flyers are still 70 and sadly the chopper isn't becoming level 40 either.

Ckdchick... you are an idiot, if you think blizzard is ruining wow, go ahead and go to your account page and hit that "Cancel Subscription" button. Whats wrong? You cant? I thought so. Quit QQing.

PS - I have already quit wow, but Blizzard did a hell of a job creating wow. It is the top MMO for a reason.

Huh....A good Pally & DK can rule the world....

PelinalLightsbane — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:07:56 GMT

Oh and there are plenty of fights where ranged dps thrive and ranged classes are interesting and competitive in dps so no, we are not all gonna play pallies and dks. I actually have mage, boomkin and shammy alts.

PelinalLightsbane — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:02:45 GMT

during pre-BC paladins were told all they were good for was healing. In BC they made prot competitive but ret paladins were the bud of jokes because their dps was terrible. Throughout the years Blizz has been taking steps to making the paladin class equal and competitive with the other classes. I play a paladin and this his is our time so either get with the pally bandwagon or get off haters!

well sert, he probly had a healer and full ulduar gear on. He must have been lucky as well, i can tell you as a warrior that i have came up first on the charts. And remember, its not the killed that matters, its the damage done.

sertevren — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:09:15 GMT

yesterday in wsg we won 2/3, i(as rogue) was second at killing blows with 24, firstone was a retropala and his killing blow was 179... this must not be normal. Hey bliz Change it again please... no one needs a buff up there.

druids are the best healers hands down. no competition.

oopomopoo — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 15:55:28 GMT

I agree, whomever thought of being able to one shot themselves was a genius!

but seriously, preBC this would have been a nice design, but not with damage wtfbbq too high, its a terrible and unrequired seal just to be competetive. I am glad they are removing it and making the other seals actually decent. Hell, i remember when a proc from SoC was doing less damage than a white hit SoB/SoM bonus.

Helebron — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 12:46:30 GMT

So they finaly listen to alliance paladins and give us seal of blood, only to then remove from both factions a couple months later.

Can we bring back the original brains behind this game? or just people who dont play it and what a better class for themselves at the cost of the others.

oopomopoo — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 08:44:11 GMT

I agree, it is blasphemous that blizzard is redesigning the paladin class so that it is equal to others. It is blasphemous that they want paladin healers to become more than one target healers so they can actually run instances without being overly geared. What blizzard is doing is blasphemous! BLASPHEMOUS!

but i do think the prot thing is a bit over the top :S
