If you think the paladin changes are bad in any way, shape or form then you're just wrong
How are they changing paladins in regards to tanking? I've heard about the lack of Crushing Blows in WotLK which means not having to worry about keeping avoidance above the magic 103%, but that's about it.

All tanks are generating a lot more threat, so talents that increase threat, such as the +60% to Righteous Fury and the +15% to Defensive stance are totally gone.
Protection Paladins are getting a bunch of cleave/AoE attacks, thus making them still the best choice for multi-mob pulls. I gather Warriors, too, are getting a bunch of Protection talents (and not much else), while Druids get fucked again (except for Resto Druids, which are getting the best 1.5 sec heal, in addition to an OOC rez to go with their battle rez).
kitty dips is getting buffed
moonkin are getting buffed
I seriously don't see how you're reaching these conclusions Kegwen fucked around with this message on 08-02-2008 at 05:16 PM.
If something is buffed, but not as much as the median, then in actuality it's being nerfed.
I'm somewhat confident everything is going to end up pretty much fine except for warlocks because Blizzard seems to have no vision for them Kegwen fucked around with this message on 08-02-2008 at 05:48 PM.

Reportedly from paladins in the beta: Holding aggro is easier than ever.
Playing with paladins in Utgarde and Nexus? I wouldn't want any other tank. Fact of the matter is: They take hits just as well, if not better, than a warrior, and hold aggro on an entire group of mobs better than anyone. Which is incredibly useful as a shadow priest because that means I can focus on a target all by myself and just nuke the hell out of one mob while Vampiric Embrace and Touch are making me generate lots of health and some mana.
Good news for warriors is that the protection tree is being adjusted so that the prot warrior can do more damage, and the arms and fury trees are being adjusted so that those warriors can do more damage as well, though Titan Grip looks like it may be more of a novelty than an actual dps increase.
Sometimes I even literally play with my balls out. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 08-02-2008 at 09:27 PM.
