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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
