So, after the patch, how goes it with Paladin?

[Kosmos992k]

So, can anyone tell me how the changes to Paladin are working?

Is the reduced TP cost noticeable?
Exactly how has the behavior of Shield Swipe changed?

If PLD are still complaining after the Patch, then they're just whiners. LMAO

Oh good grief, what is your problem? I was just asking for someone to explain how the changes to the PLD skills actually worked out in-game instead of on paper.

This patch is like a 4% DPS upgrade only while tanking, and the TP buff is almost non-existent. Any issues players still had, like being outclassed by DRK in the DPS and (for this tier) defensive department, as well as other disadvantages on taking PLD over DRK, are still alive and well.

If people wanted to whine before, this patch has no reason to stop them.

I take it then, that despite being an off GCD ability with a recast timer, Shield Swipe still requires a block to 'proc' it?

Yes.And the decreased potency definitely doesnt do it any favors, even if its a minimal dps gain

So, basically it's tinkering with the fringes that sounds like they are paying attention, but does nothing to address the actual issues?


They should have removed the need for a block on shield swipe, and extended the recast to 20s, or expanded the proc to block or parry. Fixing the utterly redundant pacification status would be nice as well.

OK....paladin aoe threat sucks MT dps sucks and our defensive "bonous" only matters if fighting 3+ physical mobs otherwise black hardly matters.......a 4% dps increase is 10% away from being enough.....
