Pally Tank VS Warrior Tank - Games

I play a prot warrior, i'm supposed to hate paladins. Especially if they as DPS keep righteous fury on and try to tell me its off when i see it on their buffbar. 'TONK SUKS CANNT HOLD AGGRO' Fucking idiots

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;27911322]Unplayable? Hardly. I saw many Paladins of every spec during BC at top level, in normals, heroics and raids. They were everywhere, and they were doing fine. Yeah, I hate people who started in Wrath and think they know everything too. It's a good thing I've been playing since vanilla.[/QUOTE] no good raid would have a ret paladin in it nor a prot paladin unless there were many adds to offtank.

[QUOTE=Greaterbeing;27919133]no good raid would have a ret paladin in it nor a prot paladin unless there were many adds to offtank.[/QUOTE] Karazhan, Sunwell Plateau, Serpentshrine Cavern, Magtheridon's Lair, Gruul's Lair, Zul'Aman, and rarely Black Temple. I saw Paladins all over my server doing those raids, though I couldn't tell you the ratio of Ret to Prot/Holy. I never saw [i]anyone[/i] doing Hyjal and The Eye, our raid progression sucked back then.

what a waste of a raid spot a RET PALADIN bwahaha

Fucking tauren paladins. They have so much god damn health. I can't complain about there being tauren paladins though; my main is a tauren paladin.

I didn't like the spread of the classes across races.

[QUOTE=Clunj;27921216]I didn't like the spread of the classes across races.[/QUOTE] Yea, hell I disagree with Horde getting pallys and Alliance getting Shamans. Strictly from a lore point of view anyhow.

Well why not give all races all classes anyway if you want to take the lore away (seriously Tauren Paladins wtf?) , we are slowly moving towards that. With a couple of more expansions it will be all open.

I have a friend who refuses to play wow because of how they butchered the lore. He nearly had a heart attack when I told him about Tauren Paladins.

[QUOTE=ejonkou;27932851]Tauren Priests/Paladins are Sunwalkers. Taurens are not strictly nature.[/QUOTE] They are still using Holy Power and are called Paladins in game. I dont see why they cant just be a class called Sunwalkers instead of paladins.

You've lost your lore nerd credentials, go sit down.

Last night I saw a group strictly made out of PALADINS 3 ret DPS', 1 holy healer and me, prot warrior as a tank. All of the fucking DPS' along with the healer had Holy Fury or whatever the fuck tanking shit. Everyone died except me (I was a nelf so I shadowmelded, it was funny, they all raged.

I like how people go "On no they ruined the lore." They CREATED the lore. They can change and retcon it as much as they like. Besides, It's just a game and WC4 is going to be set after the events of WoW. As far as I know anyway. I started in wrath, well last year. I still don't even know how to tank, but I kept outtanking with a ret paladin in my 30's with a warrior tank.

The Night Elves swore off all arcane practices after the sundering, going so far to enact a law against it that was punishable by death. Most of the old Highborne moved to what became Quel'thalas and became the High Elves, so most of them wouldn't be playable as Alliance. They need to update all the player models and change all Night Elf Mages to a Highborne one, - obviously an entire new model isn't necessary, just change the skins - because Night Elves themselves [b]don't[/b] use arcane magic.

[QUOTE=kenji;27895932]Never tried vanilla ret, gave it a first go late bc/early wrath, 30s seals removed on judgements and Seal of Blood. bad bad terrible times. I'm not even finding it hard to pull 13k on 5man bosses, im only in full 346, i have no idea what scrubs you're pulling numbers from, we're behind, we're not useless as ret, bad players are just using the class's current state to excuse their mediocrity.

Tanks get crazy numbers just from AOE

Im not the most educated in WoW lore but its getting to the point where lore is just going to be thrown out the window.
