Any Prot pals feel squishier?

Probably just me. I’m just accepting that my skills as prot Paladin must not be great. But every week I feel less motivated to log onto my main because I dunno if I’m going to be stronger or weaker or what. I feel so squishy this week. And I get the mobs are hitting harder but it didn’t feel so bad before.

I read they made change to mobs so I was excited. Walk in and am getting obliterated. Lol

Not doing a thing different than I was. Or really have ever done. But somehow it always feels different.

Being a tank is very difficult this season, our HP drops very easily, we have to pay close attention to play.

Yeah. Maybe just need to buckle up and get over it lol. Playing a dps for a little bit this season maybe has spoiled me.

Means you are not using your buttons.

Perhaps!

I ran a couple more 10s earlier and they went well! Actually felt simple.

Maybe it was just a bad luck streak.

Imma just sum it up as that for now tbh.

Sosari is the god of prot and any complaint abouut the spec not feeling good enough is met with baaically “you suck you played bad i triple chest m+30 while blindfolded, prot is secreltt op if you are not doing m+30s easy you suck”

Just get used to it.

Because not feeling good is not the same as being good.

Prot is good.
Prot does feel good, imo.
A lot of people don’t think prot feels good.
Also a lot of people are bad at pressing buttons and even struggle to push 1 button per GCD.
A lot of people even press the wrong buttons.

I don’t think I’m pushing the wrong buttons. lol

I don’t have the same people to play with so the experience is just not good sometimes.

Man, while I found Prot Pal to be “my spec”, probably the most engaged I was in the game since like mid Legion, I gotta say, I am definitely in the camp of “Prot does not feel good” it’s cool being able to pull off stuff like saving the whole group from a wipe by yourself or tanking 1st and 3rd double tank busters from Ansurek by yourself making you the perfect off-tank, but the core mechanic design of Prot… feels inheritly clunky to the me, I kinda want to blame it on Holy Power existing or simply AS not generating it or whatever, but I think it might be the whole design of the spec. It feels like it was hastily slapped together based on a bunch of things working by sheer coincidence, without any specific vision rather than deliberate design.

I mean, just look at Blessed Hammer for instance. You don’t take it for damage, you don’t take it for defensives, you don’t even take it because it feels good to press, you take it because it allows you to start a trash pull with SotR up with the added bonus of the 3rd charge allowing you to generate HP slightly faster than with HotR. And don’t even get me started on the Consecration mastery. This thing will never be fun to me and it’s beyond my ken to comprehend Consecration apologists.

i mean, sosari is sometimes right. way to many tank players dont press buttons. ive met a prot paladin who rarely pressed sotr cause he thought it was a offensive spender and tanks arnt supposed to do damage.

Ngl I thought you were doing some serious glazing before I read the rest and realized it was sarcasm lol.
I dont have an issue with them or anyone else here everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Okay I take it back I dont get why their transmog looks like they threw darts at the transmog menu and called it a day i’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they dont have many transmogs though.
