The most stupid reason I ever heard, get your facts straight next time.Originally Posted by Heraro
All healing classes are hybrids, shamans are hybrids they can do either spell DPS or melee DPS and heal,
priests are hybrids, they can heal in different ways with 2 trees or DPS with shadow,
druids are hybrids, they can tank, spell DPS or melee DPS and heal.
Now back to the original poster, paladins didn't get any hots or aoe heals because it doesn't fit with their mechanics, and that is illumination and crit. Beacon of light actually fits with the mechanics, cause any crit you get on one target you get on the target of BoL and you gain mana back trough illumination, so it fits best so it fits best.
However one very elegant way in which holy paladins could have been fixed would have been to give them one or two heal over time that could crit on each tick, and also be affected by illumination.
And a hot that could crit would be quite unique as well, and even though some might argue it should go to druids since they are the kings of hots, I say paladins would deserve a criting hot since it fits best with their mechanic.
