Give paladin taunt lol

Dont need to do completely rebalancing cause PvP would likely get horrendous as it did in SoD if devs touch things again.

However, prot paladin should definitely have taunt. Only change I really care to see. I don’t play paladin, warrior horde main but its just really dumb thats a thing.

Sure, paladin’s will get a taunt… in a year.

Simply giving paladins a taunt in vanilla wouldnt change anything in endgame. Warrior will still be much more superior of a tanking class endgam

Play SoD or wait until TBC to play Prot paladin

haha so funny

Na it definitely would allow paladins to actually tank end game content. Wouldn’t change the meta but for mom and pop guilds it would be fine.

It’s more than just a taunt that paladin needs. You see TBC? Paladin in TBC got its SP multiplier fixed, a way to regain mana while main tanking, and a taunt not counting the survivability boosts all tanks got at the time. Honestly, if they gave us taunt they’d take away GBoK spam which is our only form of real ST threat because SP gear scales poorly on us and is hard to find.

no class balance changes :expressionless:

Yeah, it’s fresh not + so I’d say don’t overstep it.

Paladins having a taunt would change absolutely nothing. They’re still absolutely fantastic dungeon tanks without it. You could have the best taunt in the game and you won’t be seeing prot paladins brought to BWL+. Bears are already warrior equivalents, so play that if you want. Blizzard never intended for Paladin tanks to be taking end-game content. The protection tree is for utility, pvp, dungeons, or a leveling choice.

Prot pally is BIS for depression room.

Enjoy the LFG tool.

What other changes wouldn’t overstep it?

10 x Chrono Boon seems to be ok with everyone as well.

I honestly enjoy the old way of building groups, at least until LFG is filled with boosts.

I guess people should only play with Blizzards intention in mind ?

(Here is another that comes to mind:)

Blizzard never intended for Paladin DPS to be DPS’n end-game content.

Or Retail - paladin tanks are pretty strong in M+ right now.

:woman_shrugging:

This is actually wrong as the class was given the bodywork, just missing a few key parts. Honestly, if they didn’t drop TBC paladin was due for a buff similar to TBC levels but they held it back until TBC because they wanted to spend the time integrating it into the new trees with 10 more points. It was about resources and time, and they figured that it would’ve been a lot of trouble to buff prot paladin with new spells/abilities when they had to focus on TBC coming up and keeping the game working properly. Blizzard was not as big back in those days as they are now, but they worked a lot harder during that time.

A libram for mana regain while tanking would have been a game changer for classic.

A taunt would put us on the same platform as warriors and bears for some of the threat dropping fights, but I don’t think its needed.

I’m leveling a prot pally on Era right now.
A taunt would help a lot but it’s mostly people being idiots and attacking different mobs that causes aggro issues.

Pally tanking is easier than warrior tanking except for the lack of a taunt.
You pop conecrate and you judge the main target.

As long as everybody is attacking the same dude you don’t even need a taunt.

it sounds like boosting, if allowed, would be restricted to the services channel only.

Go play sod.

Well boosting is supposed to be limited to service channels in all forms of classic, but it fills LFG top to bottom.

there is no services channel yet :expressionless: that’s a new thing for these fresh realms
