This time, it’s a lot more talk about what Paladins are and what they used to be, but we found a few tidbits in there to callously re-phrase:
- Paladins have enough ranged attacks, and aren’t getting any more.
- Retribution Paladins already have too much burst damage in PvP.
- However, Retribution Paladins aren’t doing enough DPS. That’s getting buffed.
- The big mana cost of Consecration? Live with it.
What say you?
I say debuff the Paladins. From what my guild members are saying and putting up with in pvp situations like wintergrasp, is that it’ll often take 3 people to take down 1 paladin. Now if the alliance wanted to win Wintergrasp more often on Area52’s server – just make an army of Paladin’s and storm the place. Least then you’d have a damn good chance to win Wintergrasp. It’s gonna be interesting how 3.2 rolls out. “FOR THE HORDE!”

“For The Horde!”
I agree with each of the points. Paladins have done slightly too much burst damage in PvP, and that nerf is a long time coming.
However, as a long-time PvE raiding paladin, I can personally say that I am very excited that Blizzard recognizes the need to buff PvE DPS. Even the best geared paladin still lags significantly behind the other hybrid DPS classes such as Boomkins.
yes, pallies lag behind boomkin, but then again, almoast all classes, hybrid or otherwise, lag behind boomkin
and remember, warriors are lagging behind Paladins right now!
Er, our 2 Ret pallies are a solid, very solid 5k dps every fight. If that is not enough, what is? Do they need to beat the hunters?
