as the title said, paladins have no ultimate, lvl 15 talent, or lvl 30 talent, we were nerfed on most fights except bosses with tank busters, and unlike warriors we actually require healers during teir 10s, and we are worse at holding agro on trash mobs
ultimate: the ultimate itself takes forever to charge, and is more likely to get u killed than help. its supposed to be a massive burst heal, but takes around 4 seconds to activate. while activating u have to hold ur hand to ur chest, and during this time u cant use books, use tank buster ability, or even kite. if u ever get low enough wher u need to use it, either kiting or using our other full heal is always better since ya know, it doesnt get us killed by making us a immobile punching bag
lvl 15 talent: this talent buffs our ultimate by either making it give us a damage reduction buff or allowing us to heal others. in the first case the ultimate still has all the shortcomings mentioned earlier, so its useless, and for the second it still has all the shortcomings, the only difference being it can be used on others, but why would a tank ever want to heal others when he is the only one who should be getting attacked
lvl 30 talent: this talent used to be pretty useful, until it was dragged through the mud.either every thirty seconds u can recieve a damage reduction buff or every ten minutes you can get a buff that u can only place on other people that will rez them if and only if they die which also has around a 5 minute duration. for the first option, it used to be good. until it was changed to be activated the same way as a warrior stores there combos. this is horendous because no matter what u do it will immediately trigger. no useing this in a tough situation, just while walking between add packs or right before death when it is too late to save u, but 5 seconds before? then it would have saved u. too bad it triggered while walking there. for the other option, the ability itself is useless. as a tank u cant even use the rez buff on urself, and even if u do place it on someone, if they dont die in 5 mintues the buff wears off and u gain nothing. also any time u rezone or die the 10 minute timer resets. die once in a shard? too bad the timer wont be done until the shard is over. and then it still has the same problem as the first talent choice, always triggering. Yay ur timer is up! too bad u cant actually use it right before a fight starts!
in the latest patch our tank buster ability was change from a big damage decrease on every hammer raise(around 5 seconds) to one big left hand raise blocking 99% damage(every twelve seconds). on bosses with tank busters this is definitly better, but on ones without it and in trash its a nerf. the only buff was protecting us every 5 seconds, blocking a ton of damage from hits during that time. this new one while it blocks almost all damage during its time is active less than half the amount of time the old one is, and the only one blocked more than 50% damage, so we actually take more damage then we used to and there is a added step to access any of that damage reduction #NerfPallyBecauseItsWeakestTankKnowYourPlacePaladinTrash
Warriors can tank almost any boss, with only 2 bosses coming to mind that they cant tank without a healer, mutated rat and minotaur(can probably do this one), with gorgon needing a healer not for the warrior but for the dps. paladin no no do this for some reason we actually need heals on a tier 10, is this a bug?
edit: just got confirmation that warriors can tank sewer rate without a healer but need one for minotaur
on bosses where a tank needs to pick up adds, paladin is worse than warrior. in order to get agro off a dps/healer, we need orbs. we get 2 orbs every 5 seconds, which is not that much threat, not enough threat to pull off a full healing musky. if we are not taking damage, we do not get more orbs to continue trying to pull, and if a musky is healing as we taunt they can immediatly regain agro leading us back to the beginning. warriors can non stop provoke until they have agro, and then only shield block to maintain agro.
