I've walked the realms of the dead. I have seen the infinite dark. Nothing you say. Or do. Could possibly frighten me.We are not monsters! We are not the mindless wretches of a ghoul army! NO! We are a force even more terrifying! We are the chill in a coward's spine! We are the instruments of an unyielding ire! WE ARE THE FORSAKEN!Those who do not stand with the Forsaken stand against them. And those who stand against the Forsaken will not stand long.
Probably because either they were terrible at the class or they preferred a 1 button rotation and easy mode tanking to a more refined class structure. Blood tanking isn't easy, but then again none of the tanking classes are really a pure face roll like Prot Paladins were for a long time and I have seen people considering rolling a different class because of that fact. If anything, the paladin population will diminish itself just like the initial DK population did come Cataclysm, Retribution and Protection aren't as lawl as they used to be, though Holy is still overpowered. This game needs more feral druids though, too bad people suck too much to want to try it, cause it's so fun (leveling one right now myself).
Here's the thing. We can cry about how popular a class is or is not, but if you are a good player, all you will notice is how many SKILLED players play your class and/or spec. I know on my realm I am respected as one of less than a handful of talented Holy Paladins. It doesn't matter how many people play the class, I'm only in competition with those who can do my job as well as I can. Don't worry about who's playing your class, worry about who can or cannot play it better than you.
