Prot paladin has fallen to the wayside for 3 seasons now while vengeance dh go BRRRRRR, no one cares about more utility with armaments in TWW, why does wog cost such a huge chunk of mana in addition to holy power and eating up a GCD, why does avengers shield OUR MAIN ABILITY not generate holy power, why is our dps so bad compared to all other tanks, why don’t we have a gap closer aside from steed charges on a 45 SEC CD which bleeds into the same mobility issues ret is facing?
Might be time to throw in the towel and just roll warrior/DH for TWW.
It’s clear pally dev has no idea where he wants to go with prot, ret, or any of the specs to make them competitive OR FUN.
I plan to give Warrior a shot. The current state of prot paladin can change with tuning but I’m kinda tired of standing in a circle for DR. Even with the new talent I’d still have to be dropping a new consecrate pretty often in m+, I just don’t want to deal with it anymore.
I find it interesting they haven’t removed all the WoG talents. I feel like the Devs really don’t play prot at any meaningful level in order for these talents to remain as is. It’s not that they are bad but more you just don’t use WoG enough to make them useful. They’ve designed prot to want to maximise SotR uptime and made WoG share resources. Due to this you hardly cast WoG at all. For example I tanked a 10 earlier where I cast WoG 4 times… That increased block for 5s wouldn’t be doing much.
They should rework the WoG talents to do something useful like idk when you WoG with less than 50% HP you auto cast SotR. Or how about a talent that turns WoG into something else entirely like puts it on a CD but now it creates a large absorb bubble instead of healing effectively making it another CD.
