Prot warrior or paladin

Community General Discussion

So unsure wether if I want to charge into battle, slam my shield in my enemies whilst shouting at them and ignoring the pain they cause or throw my shield and hammer at them, bless the land underneath me, heal my allies, be shielded by the light, be empowered by the light and judge my enemy.

Both have cool fantasy. Which one sounds more appealing?

Paladin cos the other 2 specs are brilliant. Wars are in a weird state right now.

You probably already know what I’ll answer

It’s subjective and really, truthfully, only you can answer that question.

Depends if you want to play some M+. If you do, you go warrior. If you don’t you can go paladin.

doesnt matter. classes are “balanced” and every single spec has 2 button rotation.

Because he uses a quotation mark on a quote I didn’t say.

Your answer depends on the answering of some very important questions, OP.

Do you feel your character will simply be a warrior?
Or will they be born from the light?
Will they lead an army for freedom?
Or be defenders of life?

Either way, Freedom Calls :smiley:

As a healer, with proper communication i prefer healing a prot pally, in a pug without voice chat or anything prot warr all day though

IMHO, paladins are by far the cooler fantasy. You wield the power of the light to wound your enemies and bolster your friends. You go to work with fearless determination, always being on the front line of battle however you choose to spec. One way or the other, the bad guy has to get past you to hurt anyone else.

Warriors meanwhile, are what happens when a peon is too dumb for woodcutting duty :wink:

Obviously, ignore blood elves and their enslaved naaru; go tauren or alliance for your shiny, shield-tossing hijinks. Bonus if you’re into random BGs; it will make a huge difference to your success rate if you go in as holy paladin and actually heal people vs being yet another dps warrior. Melee are just cannon fodder in any big engagement.

Perhaps I’m biased, but that’s my answer anyway :slight_smile:

Paladin - not only it covers all 3 roles on specs, but all three are somehow viable with only Ret lagging behind.

Warrior is only viable in Prot, and he is already getting nerfed while I bet more nerfs incoming.

So, unless you want to be underperforming spec next patch, pick Paladin.

I really enjoy paladin but charging into some enemies and then creating a short term earthquake by stomping on the ground is just really really fun.

Like others have said. Paladin is simply the safest bet in the long term.
Warriors might be in the spotlight now. But Blizzard fun police are already hard at work to “fix that”.

Prot Warrior :slight_smile:

I should have added this in my post.

Warrior charge is one of the most exciting skills in the game, whether you’re levelling, duneoneering, battlegrounding, etc.

I’d still choose paladin though. The ability to heal other people just… feels good.

Druid obviously.
