Thread: So, what do PALADINS get in 2.1?

Those warrior changes are pretty sick if they go through. What about Paladins? What are we going to get? If we're unchanged, I'm easily going back to my warrior... the only real thing I'll lose is my silence and stun spam - but a monk or bard can silence for me and I can't spam stun anyway since mobs resist so much; a 20 second cd should be fine.

PAL really don't need a buff...maybe an ability or two needs to be fixed, but no buffs are necessary at all.

Learn to share with your WAR brethren.

The only thing I'd like to see if PLD being more useful as an OT as I've never felt so useless then when I OT a fight that doesn't require me to tank something that hits hard at some point. Also I think just giving PLD more to do, it's the most boring tank I've played to date, just spam 1 combo, hit 1 button for aoe threat, and occasionally pop a cool down. I'd really like for them to make using the conjurer spells worthwhile to have, especially cure. It's saddening looking at that huge MP pool and knowing it's only ever going to get used to spam flash.

I hope it's something that makes the class more interesting. A second full combo would be nice giving us more to do than just 1-2-3. I'd also like to see them eliminate some cooldowns (particularly the useless ones) and turn them into attacks that could be put at the end of either of the combos for different effects, and look at doing the same for War. This would allow for a lot more skill and interactivity for the player and make the class more interesting overall.

Cookies and a hot chocolate and maybe a pat on the head to stop all that whining.

Enjoy an overpowered tanking class since release.

See other tank is being buffed up to meet the broken standards of paladins.

Complain and seek more buffs.

Logic on these forums, it doesn't exist.

PLDs are perfectly fine atm if they werent then there wouldnt be any paladins clearing turn 5 like a fat kid inhales twinkies. in other words they wouldn't be doin it so easily. Play as the class you enjoy and not as the class thats so strong that it makes things a snooze fest.

^^^^^This, this, and this. Its funny that these buffs will bring warriors up to par with plds but yet, every pld on the forums wanting a buff to keep wars on the sidelines and left out.

Yeah, I'm not really sure that going the straight buff route is necessary for PLD.
Like many others have said, fix/tweak a few abilities so that they are more relevant like Tempered Will and maybe rejigger some abilities so that they create new combos to add more complexity and variety to playing a PLD.
