Not all of us have 36 alts such that homogenization of classes is really a concern.Originally Posted by ElitehunterDS
I don't have a druid/shaman/priest alt that I can raid with and I would rather not have to.
The anti-homogenization argument is for people who don't have to worry about the deficiencies of a single class because if they exist, they simply bring a different one to a raid/encounter.
We need dps...what? ok I'll bring my druid...no wait we need heals...ok druid can do that too...no wait we need hero, ok I'll bring my shaman.
The holy spec isn't broken by any means but it does have deficiencies that can be remedied without turning the spec into what everyone else has.
In terms of what do paladins need -- a shield-like spell that you cast on a single target and when that target takes damage, it heals that person and 2-3 others within, say, 10 yards.
Doesn't have to be a ton of healing, just enough to help out.
The problem with this is that we'd just end up using it on the MT to make us even better at MT healing.
And that's really the issue with paladins -- how do you make us better without making what we do best overpowered and without nerfing our MT abilities.
