Paladin Problems that could use some work. : )

They are the main kill target due to the utility they bring.

For sure, Paladins are strong, and their utility has been pretty powerful, I’m just saying it’s not as powerful as it once was.

For example:

Continuing the discussion from Undermine(d) Development Notes:

@Linxy

PALADIN

• Seal of the Crusader healing reduced by 50%.
• Lightforged Blessing now heals 1% of health (was 2%).
• Healing Hands now only functions to increase Word of Glory’s healing on the Paladin themselves (was increased healing on allies).

Retribution

• The following PvP talents have been removed:
  • Aura of Reckoning
  • Lawbringer

Healing Hands being nerfed this patch is a big hit to that Utility, if that’s a big reason why you bring a Ret Paladin to PvP… well… that’s being nerfed.

Simultaneously, more classes are getting more utility buffs than ever.

• As I mentioned, Warriors are getting a better Berserker Shout:

  • Continuing the discussion from Undermine(d) Development Notes:

@Linxy

New PvP Talent: Berserker Roar – Go berserk, removing and granting immunity to Fear, Sap, and Incapacitate effects for 6 seconds. Also reduces the duration of the next crowd control effect within 15 seconds by 50% on group members within 40 yards. Replaces Berserker Shout.

• Mages are getting more utility buffs to their Absorb Shields:
  • Continuing the discussion from Undermine(d) Development Notes:

@Linxy

MAGE

• New PvP Talent: Overpowered Barrier – All barriers absorb 100% more damage and have an additional effect, but last 5 seconds.
  • Ice Barrier – If the barrier is fully absorbed, enemies within 10 yards suffer massive Frost damage and are slowed by 70% for 4 seconds.
  • Blazing Barrier – Reflects 100% of damage absorbed.
  • Prismatic Barrier – If the barrier is fully absorbed, gain Time Warp for 4 seconds.

etc…

It’s not some weak pitiful spec for sure, it’s just beginning to feel like Paladin burst, off healing, utility, etc… is not worth the down sides of not having an MS, or multiple stuns, or playmaking abilities, or whatever.

Again, I’m not asking for pure buffs here, it’s fine to make trades. I just think a re-evaluation of the spec going forward due to losing half our self healing, the PvP Talents, and the homogenization of the rest of the game, would be nice…

Is Shinning Revelations really the best PvP Talent to make up for these things? It feels really specifically designed and … well bad lol.
