    I've been having some trouble finding a purpose as a Paladin since the patch as well. Before the patch I had a very clear goal (slow down the healers and be the team's coin vault) but now once the healer has grown immune to my stuns I feel there's not much else I can do to slow the enemy's heals so I switch to being a sub par dps or a sub par healer. With the increased damage penalty from Heavy Metal I also can't stash the team's coins as effectively as before.

    I understand the need to change things for casters, as constant interruptions shut down their entire game, but at the same time I feel the patch took away my role in the group. I'd be interested to hear what strategy other Paladins are using.

    A true paladin... will sheathe his sword.
