I forgot about marrad actually. But also, I was mostly thinking of wc3 paladins and vanilla ones when the symbol of the hammer was more influenced on the paladin theme.
What did Dezo do to be notable?
No notable dwarf paladins currently, and zanda is still rather new to paladins.
he was all over mists of pandaria from thunder king to seige of org? not to mention the books, and ya know being the first sunwalker. its just silly that people “discount” x character because they feel like they didnt do anything
also dwarfs are a staple to paladin lore since one forged the ashbringer and every dwarf paladin used a hammer…how are they not notable?
zandalari has been in the game since classic with paladin aesthetics. there not “new to paladins” theyre just a new playable race
You seem to be confused about something.
You are trying to imply that it’s only matters when important people use certain types of weapons.
I was saying, in general, Paladins seem to favor hammers. There are generally more Paladin NPCs that use hammers. Hell, the “gift” weapon Knights of the Silver Hand receive, are hammers.
Aponi Brightmane, the first tauren paladin, also uses a hammer.
I’m obviously not saying other weapons aren’t used, but it seems from a general WoW standpoint, hammers are the “go to” Paladin weapon.
oh yeah, the first sun druid. gotcha. Which isn’t right according the next poster here, that was aponi.
But if we are going that angle, then we would need to include liadrin, and arator as well, and guess what they use?
And I’m saying that’s not true. They use a mix of weapons, normally the standard the race prefers to use. with few exceptions.
/thrall’s comments about alliance and swords.
Blizz just choose hammers to be the theme of the class, not because of the actual charecters, but because how media portrays the mace/hammers in similar media.
Not really, but I think we can agree to disagree here.
well regardless then there’s two notable tauren paladins
and ladrian is the staple for prot paladin and arator in the sword club. but theres still more notable more popular characters that use hammer. heck even arthas paladin hammer is used as a legendary weapon mat
And she uses a sword. Turalyon in wc2 was orignally a prot too.
And considering there is one-handed swords and maces…
Already mentioned arthas >.>
Not really. It’s an even split.
I don’t know about templars… Maybe I’m thinking about it incorrectly because people seem to think highly of it.
If I’m playing ret, and I’m in an arena. I cast wake of ashes, get 5 HP cast the Hammer of light, I get 1 stack for the falling hammer. I get another 4 for the buff over 8 seconds. While that’s active I’m trying to extend the buff as long as I can and spend as much as I can to generate more falling hammers. Let’s be generous and say I manage to stack up 20 falling hammers.
That still means I need to cast Wake 2 more times to get access to hammer of light to activate the mini game of maximizing the falling hammers to access the keystone which is just a perfectly timed divine purpose proc?
Every 1.5minutes worth of cooldowns used exactly on cooldown and when ready again IF I can keep good up time, and maximize my falling hammers… I get the big reward of a, well not even a divine purpose proc because it’s only usable on hammer of light and it doesn’t buff the next cast, not even 5 free holy power because, but just a free cast of hammer of light…
I think I somehow like the sunspots better, and that feels bad because you’ll never get anyone to stand in those things. But the laser beams do sound cool. Numbers can change everything I guess, but it doesn’t sound very appealing to me.
