Sure, paladins can ignore the mechanics for 8 seconds, enabling them to have 100% uptime, but on other healers, you can just wait for the right burst opportunity to do similarly high DPS.
Is bubble really that bad in terms of class balance? With current class designs, I don’t think it is.
Edit: besides, cut paladins some slack. With how wheelchair the class is, we better have a great positive to counterbalance that.
Hmmmmm yes salty tears, i mean paladin is a burst class, you pop everything and you do insane dps for a few seconds then you are back to low sustained dps.
We all have our biases But lets be honest, Demon Hunters do need massive revamping. But lets save that for another time ^^
Edit: just to clear it up before anyone jumps on me, no, nothing I said in this topic was influenced by my bias towards paladins, I only used facts and objective thinking.
Restoration shaman killing Rexxar in 14 seconds: https://youtu.be/IsvJLItXwNI?t=589
Restoration druid killing Rexxar in 14 seconds: https://youtu.be/iOvsIngkZlY?t=493
Disc priest killing Rexxar in 15 seconds: https://youtu.be/B1t2LuV7JFs?t=970
The holy paladin in the video you linked killed Rexxar in about 14-15 seconds, which seems to be in line with these. How come you say that no other healing class/spec can do it?
Don’t forget that all that is on top of having plate armor. What’s the physical dmg reduction now on a 460 paladin? 55-60%?
Plus insane burst that kills anything 100-0 in a HoJ.
Still, having all that, if you avoid Ret’s burst, or burn through Holy’s bubble… there’s a high chance they’ll die in next minute or two. Something is wrong with this class.
As a ret, I struggled against Havoc DH, since he outhealed me and out DPSed me and he took immune talent. Well, for me ret pally is absolutely nothing compared to DH or rogues.
resto druid:
-used drums at rexxar (paladin didnt), almost died (paladin didnt),
-used all cooldowns (paladin didnt), didnt kill Thrall after
-about 3min slower run he got to use drums again at thrall.
-Even with drums at Thrall his dps was a low 59k end of fight, not 90k like holy pala, while being one ilvl higher sitting at 474.
shaman: same shjt, a bit more durable than druid.
-Used all 3 orbs unlike paladin
-needed double drums, paladin didnt use drums at rexxar.
-Sat at 60k dps after Thrall, not 90k like paladin.
disc priest:
-end of rexxar 93k, not same as 100k
-end of thrall 58k, not same as 90k.
-used orbs unlike paladin
If this is the thing that bothers you the most in PvE balance, then I don’t know what to say. It’s almost like modern paladin was designed to be on the front lines fighting, so they gotta deal damage
What bothers me is that on top of that insane dps you have insanely overpowered mechanics avoiding skills if it wasnt so blatantly clear from my opening post.
Glhf getting a hybrid classes nerfed OP. They get to keep all their toys regardless of spec, its one of blizzard’s baby classes, they wont gut it even if it was to be the be-all end all spec.
Okay, but are you aware that two of those videos were released weeks before yours? Meaning that the players had much lower cloak levels, something that is quite important when looking at how many orbs they used, which isn’t relevant anyways.
“93k not same as 100k”. You’re stretching it here buddy. You’ve also conveniently managed to ignore whenever the other classes/specs out damaged the paladin. Resto shaman pulled 104k dps on rexxar, paladin did 95.6k, so he actually only beat the disc priest by 2.2k dps which is an insignificant difference. The restoration druid did 110k dps, which is significantly more than the paladin.
By the way, the paladin did 63k dps when Thrall died, not 90k or whatever number you pulled out of your imagination. Look at the meters again, and I’m sure you’ll see it as well. The other specs were very competitive on Thrall as well: with none of them pulling less than 5k dps of what the paladin was doing.
I know you’re too busy to make an extremely biased post and nothing I say will change your mind, I just liked to point out the ridiculous statements that you keep making. In all honesty, I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.
