What exactly is our role?
by Jurisdiction | 01/03/2007 21:22:11 According to Blizzard, paladins are MALEE COMBAT or SECONDARY HEALERS. According to Blizzard, shamans are Caster Combat or secdonary Healers. According to Blizzard, Paladins damage output to high. Paladins currently have the lowest dps in game. Shamans Enhancement tree. AKA malee tree out dps's Retrib Paladins aka malee paladins. Warriors are better tanks than paladins Shamans are better malee than paladins Priests are soppose to be better healers than paladins According to Blizzard just because we wear plate we are not soppose to do any damage or be good at anything it seems. To me it seems we can heal quite well, theres a start, will that get nerfed next? |

Every class needs some capacity to deal damage, as that is the primary component for the solo game, but Paladins have always placed fairly low on the damage spectrum. Rogues define the baseline measurement and, on average, all classes fall below that baseline. Now, in certain cases some classes may exceed that baseline, whether they be a Mage in a particular raid encounter or a Fury Warrior having a good run in a BG, but on average that is the way damage is arranged. Burst damage and big crits are harder to control and design from a development perspective, due to the number of random or unpredictable elements in any formula. Therefore, crit-based abilities and burst damage tends to see more fine tuning and tweaking than sustainable damage. As far as tanking and healing, the Paladin has been given plenty of tools for healing and threat gain/management. |
