Thread: So, what do PALADINS get in 2.1?

If WARs are getting a boost to their mitigation, I only think it's fair that PLD get a boost to AoE tanking capability. Increase enmity gained from flash by 200-300% and introduce a new ability called "Hold the Line". For it's 20 second duration, block all attacks and take half damage from everything. You're rooted in place and you can't attack, so before popping this ability, make sure you have good aggro.

And since we're blurring the line between PLD and WAR, let's just merge the two jobs into a Warridin. Yeah! A job that has excellent AoE threat ability plus the best mitigation in the game. I'd play that.

Actually wouldnt mind replacing Tempered Will with something like "Hold The Line"

As you said, for 10-20 seconds, lets realistically say 10, you take half damage from all attacks, and additionally block all frontal attacks. But during this time, you are rooted, pacified, and silenced... But not stunned... nobody likes being stunned.
Additionally, you are immune to all knockbacks, knock-ups, knock-downs... basically all CC.

Give this a 4 minute cooldown and we are all set.
In a sense this is a 2nd Sentinel, with a slightly longer duration, a somewhat longer recast, and the drawback of being utterly useless for the duration... The epitome of a "Turtle Technique".

Assuming this isn't a troll, Warriors are getting a buff to be on par with Paladin.

Hold the Line would be ridiculously powerful.
*shakes his head*

None. The upcoming buff for WARS are so that they can be in pair with you PALA cry babies. *Ohhh look war is getting bbbbuuuuff and I have to share the spotlight*

Paladin: They need to make hallowed ground instant and not so tricky to set off. I often have to spam it just to get it to go off. It should be Instant with no or little animations and we should be able to activate it during any existing animations.

Other than that I find paladin to be pretty solid.

But yeah, I'll be going back to my warrior as well. I've actually been gearing out my warrior instead of my paladin because I was sure they would buff them eventually and I prefer playing warrior over paladin because imo, warrior is a more skill based class and isn't as easy to play.
