love/hate relationship with paladins. from the start i have one. i love it. awesome to tank with (2 taunts on independant cooldowns, insane threat) and the farming potential is amazing (i know all you pallies have a screenie of your toon standing in the middle of a perfect cirle of dead mobs) IF, a big if, someone silver-tongued enough can talk me into going ret (not a dps player at all and i can't heal on all my toons that's just boring) i can still do my duty as a carebare and throw out instant FoL's when they proc (another fine use of healbot) or bubble a squisher when in need and still do competetive damage.
the hate part comes in when running a pug and all 3 rets are lolstorming the entire instance and asking you to 'link dps plz' after every pull. or the poorly spec'd thing with a two hander who wont switch RF off because he takes less damage with it on. even after explaining what RF does and that he would take much less damage with it off. oh, and silence can fuck off too.
all in all, if you like to do stuff with nobody dying you will love paladins. just remember the other 4/9/24 people in your group and you'll be doing it right. as stated by someone previously, paladins are about defense
somebody call for d doctor?
The Paladin has very few core abilities that are fun and strong. Most of them come from talents. Unlike the DK who gets a good amount of attack and Defense skills by default.
It is fun, but you won\'t find that you have a lot of survival spells as a DPS, or a lot of high damage spells as a tank.
It\'s fun, but diferent.
Well it used to be that leveling a pally = UGH.
It was bad. I leveled a human pally and got an old school pvp rank title and everything. I lived in AV..and that was when an AV match would easily take HOURS.
Anyway, leveling a pally back then was hard and it sucked. I leveled a blood elf pally to give horde a try and it was slightly better but even back in BC towards the beginning..pallys were just the 'ugh' class to level like priests. I am leveling a blood elf priest right now and its sooo slow going in the teens. It better pick up when I hit 20 and get mind flay etc..otherwise I will gouge out my eyeballs.
Anyway..
Pallys have gone through some massive changes and from what I have seen from friends who also level pallys, its soooo much easier and better now. Pallys, regardless of spec, have very good survivability when it comes to leveling and are very very durable. Things I could do in Outlands on my pally I could not do on my rogue when I leveled my rogue.
lol @ this, you must be bad and cant play your class, ret paladins with the proper gems/enchants can out dps a dk easilyOriginally Posted by Whoopzz
back on topic, ret is an easy, but boring class to level, but i think its worth it
Pally is my main, and im rlly bored of all 3 specs. I have ulduar 25 ret gear, uld 10 prot / holy gear. And when im asked to respec to fill a spot, it's always. As prot, u throw ur shield, consecration and then pretend that it's hard to hold aggro. As healing, u just spam 1 heal button, and sometimes press holy shock or holy light (cuz of the mana nerf, i just used to spam holy light and i wouldnt run out of mana). As ret, u just need a priority system and ur set. So what im trying to say is, go lvl a class that requires u to make an efford, or u'll be bored really quickly.
Lawl endgame Paladin is still easy and I know it.Originally Posted by Samin
We just don't have a lot of buttons to press or cd's to watch.
Paladin's can be boring endgame if you don't like to press only like 4 buttons as dps and 1 button as healer.
I just hate the fact pally tanking is easier than war tanking, still I play my war more than my pala.
Yeah, you would. Just make sure your face can handle 2 characters! Might be a bit bruised after a while.
