Paladins Nerfed too Hard Recently?

Paladins Nerfed too Hard Recently?

After playing for a while now with the changes trying to do what I used to do in questing and DPSing with my terrible gear, I can say the only thing we got nerfed on that wasn’t something we deserved was the mana regen aspect. This is hurting Holy paladins playing solo and Protection paladins [...]

Paladin Auras Getting Changed in 3.0.2/Wrath of the Lich King

I don’t expect this change to be staying for long because Paladins don’t need their auras to work with the speed or fuildity that Warrior stances, DK presences, or Hunter aspects do. A paladin can tank or DPS or heal with any aura active and it won’t really make or break the gameplay. But for [...]

Paladins Getting Major Changes in WotLK

Paladins Getting Major Changes in WotLK

If you combine everything said in Paris during the Worldwide Invitational and the very limited snippets of discussion by Blizzard on the Alpha forums it’s safe to say that the Paladin class is probably going to have some serious changes to the way they work. The main emphasis being on reducing the random burst and [...]

WWI08 Class Panel: Priests, Hunters, Paladins.

Priests actually need a lot of love. They’re a class that’s always been hands down meant to be the best healer and yet they’re pretty underrepresented in the end game raiding scene where a resto shaman, paladin, or druid can pick up the slack and outperform with certain spells. Luckily it seems that all around [...]

Instant Health addon makes healing MUCH easier.

Instant Health addon makes healing MUCH easier.

I saw this today on the WOR forums and thought to myself “So that’s why I died.” For the longest time I would blame otherwise amazing healers for me instantly getting KO’d by bosses knowing full well that it shouldn’t have happened. Here’s a blurb form the download page. I would advise any and all [...]

Will the Death Knight take your job in Wrath?

Will the Death Knight take your job in Wrath?

I would agree with the CM on this one. Even with Paladins and Druids in Burning Crusade getting some tanking utility, the best tank for many situations will always be a Warrior through the pure mitigated damage and tons of tools (shield block, shield wall, last stand, etc) they’re given.
I will say this much though, [...]

Season 4 Arena gear changes.

Season 4 Arena gear changes.

Thanks to mmo-champions for the high resolution images.
Currently we have only seen the retribution paladin set and the 2H sword from arena season 4. But it seems that Blizzard is already starting to tweak the gear some so that it feels more in line with the others (that they have yet to release and what [...]

Paladins: Avenging Wrath might get some improvements in the future

Eyonix spent a lot of time yesterday on the Paladin forums fiddling around as he is currently playing his Paladin more than his other characters.
Q u o t e:
Additionally, Avenging Wrath provides absolutely no benefit to holy paladins.

I brought this up to design today, oddly enough. It wasn’t shot down, but at the same time [...]
