Argument for Prot Pally and why they should not be excluded from arenas

Wait you are kidding right? I never asked for prot buffs. I have actually said they need nerfs…

This looks like a buff to me.

You edited it out after I quoted it didn’t you?

I asked this above but I believe it got looked over since the thread was going so fast but do you have anyone you’d recommend as a good prot teacher? I hope to be a gladiator someday. I know it’s frowned on by the community but I think it would be fun.

Actually no I didn’t

You can tell because you can click the name and it will show you the actual quote. Not what you changed it to.

Yeah we’re just pretending here.

Well you can change what shows up in the quote on your comment/reply that was what i was speaking to regarding his. This speaks to the redistribution of power not the buffing of the spec as I am sure you know, you can balance a spec and redesign it without buffing it. taking away their healing which is absolutely busted right now and redistributing it and putting it into their general utility and possibly defensives would be a balancing act and a way to redistribute their power not buff

How are you this dumb?

You are literally asking for defensive buffs, which prot doesn’t need at all.

Prot should just be nerfed in every way, period. Stop trying to push prot as the pvp spec, abomb clone #666.

no they just take away their healing and that’s it, not put it anywhere, it doesn’t need to be put anywhere in the current state

if they redesign it as an alternative dps spec in pvp they can move the healing numbers and reduce defensibility to a dps lvl and put that into damage and that’s acceptable

there is no compromise here, stop trying to push that.

it needs to be nerfed to be unplayable with how it is designed now, i’m sorry u don’t like that but that’s how it should be

Seriously, who let all these prot pallies on these forums, with their egos bigger than their brains?

I mean right now yeah, they aren’t going to do anymore major design changes likely. But yeah, you can nerf the healing and that is completely fine and it should be nerfed.

I was mentioning the fact for the future, IMO you should allow it to be another damage role in arenas but it would just be a tank class and then expand on the other things on the spec and just do a full redesign. But saying that they should be completely gutted and not viable at all in arenas should not be the case. Nerf the healing so the spec is not so busted. If that is the case everything else will be fine for now.

yeah it is going to still be strong but it is not busted. I am sorry you dont like the playstyle but it really isn’t overpowered and busted at that point.

yes it is still busted after nerfing the healing, sorry u don’t understand that and ur sentimentally attached bc it boosted u from the league u deserve to be in even tho u were also gifted an extra 1200 mmr from the season being 92 years long

Ego is definetly not bigger than the brain. You are just not looking at what i was saying and actually comprehending it and attacking a few sentences like they should be gospel.

Just stop. It’s getting sad.

It’s important to note that tanks in swtor exist in a 4v4 meta. not a 3v3 meta. So it’s still 2 dps to 1 tank 1 healer. Or 3 dps 1 healer vs tank dps dps healer.

does body guard have a range requirement? Swtor tanks must be within i think 10 or 15 yards of their guard or the transfer breaks. This is also a star wars game, so knockbacks and pulls are widely available.

This is true. 6v6 RBG when.

It’s not so much their fault for not reading your post but more your fault for assuming you can change anyone’s opinion over the internet. It’s all g though bro, here’s a +1 for effort.

I think what you’re missing in here is that everyone’s repeatedly telling you, from places of higher experience than yours, that Prot paladin could have 0 healing and still be a busted existence with the current design.

Everyone knows to nerf or remove prot paladin healing. Nobody’s disputing that. They’re saying on-top of it all the problems with prot paladin are much more than just that.

It sounds like me the defensive toolkit for the prot’s team outweighs any “weakness” it might have as a “dps” class.

But, what everyone in here is really saying can be summarized:
