Many Paladins, Handle it?

[Vook]

It might just be my realm, but I've noticed lately that pug raids are ALWAYS full of Paladins. There's always at least two or three in every group, and I've even run ICC25 pug with...Seven paladins. Yes, seven. Two holy, three ret, two prot.

Not complaining or anything I'm just saying...what's with all the Paladins?

7 paladins in one run BAH ive been in a group with 15 paladins xD it was an epic fail i admit but still

[Darchow]

Everyone started mass-rolling Paladins after patch 3.0.X cuz they got huge buffs!

I have been a Retribution Paladin since i started playing early BC, i'd say atleast 50% of all Paladins are FOTM rollers.

its a fun class to play

i rolled a paladin alt in bc and found it super fun to play, only downside was it was a spacegoat, so i rerolled human a month before wotlk, i agree there is alot of paladins, but i do understand why, players what to enjoy the game, this class offers you alot, easy tanking, easy dps, and easy heal.

all 3 specs work well in arena..

its kinda self explaning why we play them

Sorry for bad speling

Every player that never passed 1600 in arena made a pala and plays prot pvp... thats why we got so many paladins.

Guess that means you have a paladin.

3 roles in 1 character
one of the reasons why people like to play paladins

MANY PALADINS! LEFT SIDE! EVEN SIDE! NOW HANDLE IT!

[Thafisker]

Paladins have a lot of options, healer, tank, dps, and they are not particular hard to play, in either of the specs. Also, in the start of WotLK, paladins and deathknights were way out of the league of any other class, and that made a lot of people roll a paladin. I guess many of those just never bothered getting back to their old mains.

I remember back in Vanilla, half the players on pve servers were pallys, and half the players on pvp servers were rogues. Its not FOTM. It's just always been a nice rounded class.

Saying the large number of pallys is FOTM just shows who's new around here. While FOTMers may roll, it hardly makes a dent - just if you're looking for something, you're going to notice it.

well... i have a paladin since way before the paladins invasion started... and NO, i dont play prot pvp.

So ...

[Borigrad]

sure there are a lot of paladins how many of them can actually play?

[Deawo]

My realm is full of prot or holy paladins. But not many ret. paladins, in better guilds (so with better EQ).

[Uteric]

stop QQ about paladins they can be either really good or suck so much that it hurts and about buble too it aint that good now shattering throw and priest dispel says hello :P
The reason there is much of paladins is they are really easy to lvl and play at some lvl of skill.

It's the 2nd easiest spec after druid (they can be any role, really. Tank, healer, melee dps, ranged dps), whereas paladins can be anything but ranged dps. Why people don't roll druid instead? Probably because at a first glance paladins looks way more awesome than druids. I mean, a holy warrior in plate armor using sword and board or a fucking twohanded broadsword or greataxe sounds much more awesome than a tree/nature loving hippie who can shift form into animals.

I think, you never heard abouth PVE....or paladin who playing holy/prot spec in pvp.

[hotandholy]

all specs are highly viable at the moment, so there will be many of them

[twinkleblur]

pallies will fall in numbers soon. there just this expansions class to be. last expansion it was warlocks this time its pallies. probibly next expansion will be shammy or something. i have noticed an uprise in the number of shammy around. just recently i did a heroic with 3 shammy. pallies are just the trend for now.
