No thank you
I doubt many people mind prot as a solo healer. I duno if mana ends up being an issue at higher MMR where people trade CDs, and off-heal properly though.

I’m just reading these comments smiling and imagining if warriors got a similar nerf. “ but it’s not a meme spec”. It’s easy to be happy when it’s not our class but how they did this was shady. And warriors have been way more unfun to me than prots ever were. Or even hunters

You know whats crazy tho?
Lets just say they completely nerfed warrior to the point that arms is the worse melee in game.
There would still be good warriors like Magnus Smexxin Revo & vices that will get r1 anyways.
But they nerf prot healing slightly and stunandbug is freaking out he cant cheese his way to another r1. Lmao

There are a lot of extra factors in this statement then just how simple you are saying it
Just because stunandbung is the highest prot that doesnt mean he plays it well.
Yeah. I’m just saying that as soon as we blame the players for what cheese they play we have lost. The focus should be on blizzard and them not being able to fix there game
cant believe u got unbanned just so u could argue with nerds about prot paladin bro wtf
Mud going pretty hard in here.
TBH, the spec wasn’t fun for anyone to que into. Games against prot are either damp or some summer lovin’ WW/Ret 1 banging someone while being immune due to some stupid NPC channeling light-lasers behind a wall.
At least we only need to deal with the latter now and the gimmick is done after the first 30 secs of the game.
This is a daily thing for me man. Mortalbad pings me on discord all day 
u need a hobby
*we need a hobby
are video games not a hobby?
make me ur next hobby 
big streamer man
Right. A war pressing ms on cd and spamming execute 10 times in a row while charging at you until your dead is way worse than a prot to me

Really don’t want to let Blizzard think it’s ok to dumpster a spec mid-season like this with zero warning. Especially given their current “life will find a way” balancing philosophy. They should have waited until 9.2 and gave a warning letting everyone know what was coming and why.
However with that said Prot Pal promotes the most degenerate playstyles where you try to cheese someone with immunities and blessing of summer/ashen, play double healer, or even just playing as the sole healer but literally never needing to cast anything and being obnoxious with steed knocks.
Also Stun has always seemed to be a nice guy as far as I am aware and I try to never blame/dislike someone personally just because of the spec they choose to play. That’s completely on Blizzard and isn’t the players fault for making the most of what they are given. So unless something else goes on behind the scenes (which there very well could be) I don’t see why people are personally attacking Stun or anyone else. Maybe I’m just biased though as I have played Prot some in the past as well although in my defense I could only take so much of Ret into Destro at the end of BfA.

Tbh I hardly have anything legitimately personal, not even possible to know anyone like that and I don’t care enough to
But he goes back and forth between wanting to troll people with hahah i’m the best prot efer and ur all so mad at my spec to wanting to be a victim
Pick 1 and go with it honestly. Laatly I think things are more annoying at higher rating if you ever have to series a team, most of the time just the match itself isn’t exciting or interesting which is where a lot of complaints come from (i.e. even if I win consistently it still feels like a waste of my time to be in that match - and I think a lot of high teams will have a similar experience, they care more about trying their hardest to improve vs just winning a match).

The buff to necro ability happened in 9.1.5 and was nerfed 2days into the patch. So??
Edit: NVM finally prot nerf
- Protection
- [With realm restarts] Word of Glory’s additional healing on friendly targets provided by Hand of the Protector (Talent) has been reduced by 80% when engaged in PvP combat.
Maybe it’s just my own bias but I find classes like rets, and WWs to be more annoying on my hpal than wars. Not even gunna mention prot pal, that crap was toxic to vs on any of my toons.
Regardless, when war gets nerfed, people are just gunna cry about another class to be nerfed until their class is on top. (Endless cycle, hurray)
Prot paladin tears are yummy

I tend to agree it’s a little aggressive to do it this late with such short notice I suppose, even if tank specs are absurd in arena.
This whole rhetoric of nerfing things because they aren’t fun needs to go. I agree with the nerf at a better time logic, but it has nothing to do with if it’s fun to play against. It should only factor in an imbalance in gameplay. What’s fun is entirely subjective , and that’s a slope that ends with the game becoming more one dimensional than it already is.
