So new patch notes hit for the upcoming changes and im going to be blunt: Its painfully obvious they do not know what they are doing and are vastly ignoring criticism.
It looks like they just look at the raw data , change things and think it will work out.
Paladin got crusader strike changed but not how we needed. THEN THEY NERF MARTYR that will lower proc rate to art of war,thus worsening the damage.
No mana issues fixed.
But shamans and druids? Tons of changes buffs ect. Rogues get a sprinkle. Warriors nothing. Hunters absolutely gutted. Hunters needed a nerf, not an eviceration. Could of toned it down to 20. Nope gutted.
Blizzard. Im trying to be nice but its extremely frustrating when you do changes that completely miss the mark and ignore the entire playerbase concensus. Im absolutely baffled right now.

So apparently the marty change was a bug fix. They did a bug fix and didnt even bother compensating for the loss of damage. This is going to cause paladins to slip even further.
The only spec left I can see is prot and even then you go holy for it. With druid able to do aoe tanking is there really any reason to play Paladin? I cant see any real justification playing the class outside of “I just like it” which its kind of boiled down to.
Is it to the point where we hope and pray p3 is the saving grace (i dont trust blizzard at this point) or is it really just a dead class due to no real attention. Shamans have gotten more attention than Paladins.
I suspect this is just D4 treatment. Even though they are different dev teams, the mentality is the same “Nerf until it hurts and then wait a (long) while before giving any buff and not the ones they need”
Hunter will be fine, they just need to adjust from Deep Surv into Deep BM and possibly even go 2h now.
Yea ive seen some gutted people survive too, but they can’t process bread anymore. Kind of the same thing.
