I’ve just been reading the nerfs to Protection Paladins in PVP and I’m feeling a bit ‘doom and gloom’ about it.
I know that there are a good deal of people who already frown upon Prot Paladins in PVP - but I’ve really been enjoying doing BGs as prot. Carrying the flag, protecting the team, defending bases, helping out with the healing etc.
But now I see that we’re going to be taking 10% increased damage from all sources, doing 30% less healing and having longer cooldowns on the signature defensive ability; Guardian of the Forgotten Queen (Which can literally just be CC’d when it’s cast)
I would love to learn what other Prot paladins think. Are we dead?
I think the intention behind ALL the class tunings are fair and good. DPS classes will heal themselves far less, so it’s okay if we tanks also lose some healing/survivability. I’ve been kiting 4-6 people for several minutes in BGs, and we paladins have been pretty strong healers in arena and BGs. Yes, its fun, but I understand why all non-tanks hate it. Lets see how strong these changes will really impact us, but I think we prot palas will still feels “strong”/“ok”, but surely not “dead”
