We know they do lots of damage but the only reason is because of the CRIT burst dmg.
so mentioning that, ill point over to Resil and pvp gear
they completely changed resil to not really matter many more
it used to reduce the dmg done from criticals but they removed that, and now they just have "reduce crit chance" and the reduce dots/mana drain stuff
so every time a pally crits its gonna do full dmg almost all the time and theres nothin to stop it
so in reality pally are not op...
now about pvp gear....its useless now till maybe at 80 but i havent played beta so not really sure how pvp is, cept knowin the normal amount of resil is like 700+
the reason its useless is cause it doesn't stop any type of crit dmg, just crit chance, so anyone in kara gear can destroy a full s4 of anything atm
so sayin that..Blizzard put resil back to the way it was before the patch so we can keep pvp away from pve
and honestly, dont listen to the crappy kara geared people bitchin about not being able to kill anyone, i thinks thats the whole point in havin pvp seperate from pve
so for now throw on all your pve gear and just tear through people, cause resil aint gonna stop it :/
