not gonna read every single post cause im sure they are 90% "pallies are gay omfg nubs"
first off shamans needs to stop calling paladins "noob" ive played both classes and shamans are by far the EASIER and more SIMPLE of the two.
"paladins take no skill to play" really a class with low DPS takes no skill? so when a paladin beats you does that mean you have even less skill? sorry but most horde havent played a paladin, if they did they would know paladin takes the most skill to master, its more than being a healbot, especially in pvp paladin takes a lot of skill to play, i respect anyone who does.
"paladins are 12 year old noobs". really, and you generalizing the people who play a class is really mature. why is it considered so wussy when a paladin uses his shield, first off it gives you a chance to heal also, so why not take advantage of it. second, its a freakin CLASS skill. these "wuss" players you guys mention didnt make it. blizzard did, and if you played WC3 you would know thats part of the paladin. and its not even overpowered, its on huge cooldown, and everytime they shield, you can heal too.
apparently it isnt "wussy" when a shaman/druid use travel and earthbind or root, rogue vanishes and sprints or blinds and sprints, hunter wingclip or conc. shot then cheetahs, mage sheeps and runs, warriors hamstring and run, warlock fears or seduces and runs, priest screams then runs. but it is "wussy" when a paladin uses his shield. seriously why complain about the shield, its not overpowered, not like they can hurt you while theyre in it, its a paladins survival method, every class has them, grow up and stop complaining.
i just dont understand it, most of you complain and say paladin is a noob class and overpowered (lots of you being shaman that say it...) but then say you how easy paladins are and how much they suck, make up your mind.
delendanda, to you personally, you never seem to know what your talking about. so allow me to correct you.
pallys have 10 - 15yd stun x2 - with cooldowns, 1 is a 31 point talent and it breaks with damage, but nice try.
heal - so do 3 other classes, boohoo.
shield x2 - with cooldowns, and can be dispelled. and also give you a free heal.
full heals - with one hour cooldown, and drains all mana
DPS seals - really? where? i want one! one is on chance, and one is a small ammount of holy damage.
plate - low dps
armor buff - yeah wtf why so paladins get this? i mean it would be fair if druids, warriors, shamans, mages, warlocks and priests got armor buffs too, but they dont!!!! oh wait.....
on that note....hmm sounds really fair to me because paladins stuns are on a cooldown and most likely already used it to stop a cast, and even if they didnt use it stuns can be, are you ready? resisted. this isnt a ranged execute FYI, its a move to kill runners, it does no more damage than a shock, but it has more restrictions, so in reality it isnt even as good as a shamans shock, stop complaining.
