Paladin adjustments = PALLY BUFFS!

My PLD says "Thank you! Now people can leave me alone about my low damage and high HP."

Also a quote from the Community Rep:
"We will be changing the method for calculating the potency of physical attacks for tank roles in Patch 3.2. We’ll be making it so vitality affects the potency of physical attacks, and as a result the effect of strength on physical attack potency will be reduced."

"From Patch 3.2 onwards, you’ll be safe using only vitality accessories as well as allocating everything to vitality as a tank. For everyone who is currently using strength accessories on their tanks, the damage will be lowered, so please prepare your vitality accessories ahead of time."

HAHAHA I've had many raid groups laugh at me for using all fending accessories on PLD. Everyone will finally leave me alone and finally see how I've always been a better PLD with high HP ^.^
This makes me ecstatic.

Thats not true you weren't always the better PLD, the extra hp wasn't needed the damage was for the dps checks. In 3.2 however you will be good to go but up till now you have been a burden dps wise in raid.

Because of the aforementioned intended design. It's not like players who signed up to be Paladins thought they'd be doing any less damage than their tank cousins Drk and War, but because of the heavy emphasis on high dps-checks it turned out that way. I think after the 3.2 patch a lot of Paladin players will let out a sigh of relief, because they've been pulling the tougher weights throughout the "era of strength tanks" that we're now putting behind us.

Raise your chins and puff out your chests fellow Paladins, because brighter times lie ahead!

So, Pld would go from the least used/useful Tank int he game to the least used/useful Healer in the game? Or would Pld bump off one of the current healers and take their place ... Hmm ...
