Anyone who knows me, knows I’ve gone back and forth over the years on various classes. Warrior, Paladin, DK. Etc. I’ve done it all. So my personal opinion after a lot of thought is that Cortico will once again rock the Light since he knows how to swing it.
In short, a lot of Paladins are screaming doom and gloom. Some of this may be merited as the class ‘does’ have some needs. I have a personal wishlist of my own, but the question there is ‘would such things be realistic or teneble?’ I think so. Blizzard may not.
But at the end of the day the real question is this.
Will we be playable? Absolutely. Will we be competitive? Yes.
In my experience, good Paladins. Ie: Ones of the skill level of Rhaze, Kyre, Marlan etc. do the following. We endure. Even when the odds are stacked against you, a Paladin can and will compete even if others say otherwise. The best part is the other players tend to get a surprised Pikachu face when you beat their teeth in. Why? Because the unassailable and completely accurate assessment of Paladins according to the masses is that they (as in Vanilla) suck.
I dispute that.
I would say try it. You might like it. Looks like Paladin’s going to be my boy for DF. I do like Monk, but my critique of that is the Xuen Statue. I just don’t like it tbh, but I do like Brewmaster.
Face it mons. We stared down and outlasted Furor and anyone who played EQ knows exactly what I am alluding to with that statement. We’ll outlast this scenario, get fixed and that’ll be that.
