I just went to the Dark Side (Paladins are OP) [PvP]

And I don’t regret it. I honestly feel that the only players that are currently genuinely enjoying the game, for what it is, are Paladins or top-tier classes.

You basically just feel valid. Like, you can ACTUALLY play the game. You have answers to everything, can counter-play anything, and, as I said, can actually play and it feels like a skill based game and not just luck of the draw.

Literally everything is 10x easier against bad classes/spec and it feels so damn fun against viable classes since you actually play against them, you actually use abilities, look at what they are doing, react, play accordingly, counter it, make decisions, etc.

Only reason to claim Paladins aren’t OP is cuz you don’t want them to get nerfed but… they are never going to be nerfed. They are never going to stop having 3 invulnerabilities on a 30s CD in-between. They are never going to stop healing better than most healers regardless of spec. They are never going to stop having INSANE burst damage with no downsides or ramping up (In PvP). They are never going to be unable to stick to an enemy and be unvulnerable to any form of crowd control, if played well. And the thing is that you CAN play paladins well, while with other classes you cannot excel even if you play well, cuz you don’t even have abilities to do so, for example (wild example) It doesn’t matter how hard you want to heal or keep your friend from dying as a warrior, you can’t, even if you are the best… And they are never going to stop being viable in PvE despite being broken in PvP.

And I backup the first statement I said with every single person I’ve met in-game,that genuinely seems to like the game, being a Paladin. Being like “Wdym, game’s perfectly balanced and fun, better than ever” Yeah… ofc it is with your 80% winrate and people thanking their gods when you request to enter their group.

TLDR: Paladins are unapologetically OP

pssh should have went druid.

Bubble boys I don’t even hate anymore. That bubble comes down eventually.

Its bears I hate with a passion. True guardians, ghetto hybrid feral guardian talented…hate them all.

Unless…I am on my druids ofc. then I like them for some odd reason lol. Its like magic or something.

Edit: but hope you like running your new paladin all the same. One should at least enjoy the char they are on when its those rougher nights in pvp lol.

I agree. 100%. Druids were also in my “op classes” I referred to. Have also met tons of druids loving the game in the same way I described Paladins.
Actually them are the only reason I decided to say stuff like: “are Paladins or top-tier classes”.

Edit: And most of the most fun 1v1s I’ve had are against druids.

I think everytime a paladin bubbles, they should get minus 50% run speed for one minute.

As healers, yeah. Amazing. I still prefer disc though

I must admit, my main toon for current content is my Dwarf Paladin. On prot spec he is practically unkillable, unless I do something really dumb. Even with only a 229 ilevel Im having fun doing ZM content. Its a very forgiving class.

Mage is historically the best PvP class.

Ret paladins? Are we talking about the same class? Can’t they be CC’d and kited to death?

What pvp do you do where you feel ret is the best?

11

My Fire Mage has little trouble with Paladins.

Demon Hunters and Boomkins on the other hand …

Ret paladins suck. If you focus them or have a warrior it’s gg. Off heals are okay but you sacrifice so much dps for it. Duo legendary will put them in a better spot though. I’d say they are on par with enh shaman rn

13

Paladins are just annoying. Second chances are annoying and the class is filled with em.

Wouldn’t care if it was objectively the worst class every expansion would still hate them just because they are annoying to play against.

14

I disagree with this, actually most of your thoughts, but I’ll continue letting you train your train of thoughts.

I’m happy you’re enjoying your new favorite class. Best wishes.

Casual PvP they rock.

Playing Prot. But I know ret is same cuz I have friends that know how to play it, and it’s hard but you CANNOT be kited to death if you are good, they have all the tools to counter that. I only don’t play it cuz I don’t like it.

18

Everything you’re saying sounds pretty balanced to me.

Holy paladins need to learn what personal space is :unamused:

That’s because you haven’t tried playing any of the classes/spec that are not only bad, but not even viable for PvP. If you tried them you’d understand how lucky you are to be playing a currently OP or at least viable class.
If the latest, you still, on top of that, don’t know how it is to play an OP class and just win everything, even without trying that hard, and have everyone want you in your group and etc.
