So I have a dream, that one day I will be a level 60 paladin.
Quick background - I started when BC launched in early 2007, and never leveled Alliance until after Cata. I leveled a few Horde toons past 60 before they started nerfing the XP on Azeroth, and I have some fun memories of being a newb. I'm excited for Classic because I feel like Live is a giant timetable of things that you can do only when Blizzard says you can, and it feels like a job, not an adventure.
I want to play paladin again (I leveled a Belf one in BC) and I will primarily just focus on healing.
I've read a few of different places that tanking is considered acceptable for dungeons, but I wanted to ask about some specifics.
1. Was it really seen as OK for a pally to tank endgame dungeons (Scholo/Strat)?
2. Does holy damage still scale off of spell power? In BC I used a spell mace after 60 as I was told at the time it was good for threat. I'm wondering if this was a thing in Vanilla as well.
I know they aren't really good for raids cause of the whole no taunt thing, and I would have no desire to do that, but I also would love to have the flexibility to heal dungeons for my guild and friends.
Thanks!
