Evidently...

Unread post by Ryai »

Reading a post on MMO it seems there's been to much QQing about paladin tanking because evidently Paladins have it 'way to easy' and are thus being brought down to a less op status- because evidently no one seems to grasp a paladin is going to have an easier time tanking UNDEAD mobs :|

And instead of fixing Druids, DK's and Warriors, they're nerfing Paladins. Even though I've tanked instances just fine with the first three, and I have had win and fail tanks, across all the levels. And while I have had my pets, sometimes, pulling a mob off a War without growl and just to much burst damage to soon- I've not encountered an instance that needed a paladin or else we'd fail.

I've not seen people in trade going 'LF Pally tank' ofc I've seen 'pally tank pref' but then again I've seen requests for droods, wars or DK's.

And Now I'm worried since I don't have skills really for good tanking past a heroic, oh yes I can dream.

I mean I can dream Ryai or Yas will help down Arthas. Or that Rashika will even get a chance, for Shadomourne. but I thought atleast, I would be able to tank instances.

If they do, do this, I don't really have a good feeling. It's all I can do to tank a heroic with people outgearing me as it is, if this happens and my threat is reduced, will I now be forced to queue for lv 80 non heroic dungeons? :|

Yes I hate tanking but it's a love/hate deal.

Mean originally he was rolled to be a tank..

idk I just needed a rant. bleh.

Well, personally I don't think they are that OP, I have seen just as many amazing, ever-lasting-health DK's, Druids, and War's... But then again, I don't have time to raid, so all I get to see is heroics usually. And another thing is, why nerf Pallies to 'DK Drood War' status, when they aren't even that much better (or if any, in my opinion) SO close to Cata... Talent trees across the board are gunna be blown to smits and redone, as well as gear and stats, so I don't see a need in changing anything, especially with inevitable change seemingly within grasps.

I so much don;t believe that pallies are over powered at tanking... Actually, I'd prefer a dk, warrior, or druid tank. I just find them incredably cheap in BGs or other PvPs... All they do is bubble and fully heal while you still have half or no health at all... What they should do is either lessen the time on the bubble and increase cooldown, or have healing done on self and others while you are bubbled decreased by 50%. As a tank I find no problem with pallies, and I think that this nerf is going towards the wrong aspect of them. I appologise to any pallies who may be reading this, but I just find it incredably unfair and cowardly to just be able to bubble right before you die and fully heal while I can do nothing of the sort...

Yeah I admit it's cheap too- but it's saved me soloing and there's still a price for the bubble heal. We have to stand still and heal. Allowing you all to run away or find shelter amongst other hordies or alliance. The other thing is it's already been nerfed to an extent, I can't pop bubble + LoH or LoH then bubble, meaning as op as paladins were, they are thankfully a bit less op now.

Though admitedly, if you want to deal with a paladin, get a friend who is a paladin. I took down a retri who outgeared me, because he underestimated Caim in his prot specc/gear. :| 1v1 I owned him, and almost owned him and the hunter buddy that came to help him.

But anyways.

Yeah alot of people on mmo seemed to be all yaaaay pally nerf.

And it's just, what? This doesn't fix any problems if there are any.
