Moonfury's tooltip now reads increases damage to all Balance damage spells, which means it probably is now applied after bonus spell damage effects.

how so? so they can heal to full, then get their ass kicked again? all it does is delay the inevitable. besides, we're talking about one class that *can* dispel it for 1000 mana and a 1.5 sec cast. I've played a priest in pvp for a long time, and I can tell you I won't be using this in PvP unless it's on a large group of enemies & allies where it will actually make a difference. 1 on 1 against a pally, it's a waste of mana.

It's more useful in PvE, IMO.

Or in AV.

you proved my point right there


paladins have nothing going for them except the fucking shield

take it away and they're worthless....

(pvp wise)

[Jim]

So, if you see a priest doing a cast, you just hammer of Justice them and heal.

Hell, waste a bubble, let them waste 1k mana, then hammer of Justice and heal.

There are many options there.


Paladins are just bitching for no reason.



Also, given how much mana it costs, a priest will be very weary on using it in PvP. 1k mana is a lot of mana. It would be better to shield and heal yourself instead of waste 1.5 seconds to mass dispell. And with how frantic PvP is it's not that good. People can get out of the fifteen yard range easily, they can die, and many other things, almost making it a waste of the mana in general.

[pysex]

you forget that paladins have no real attacks


stunning and healing is again delaying the inevitable
it's a struggle getting someone down to 20% health (especially a good priest) and then waiting 1.5 seconds for your hammer of wrath....

it used to be funny because people would try to run away when their health got that low and you'd throw the hammer to watch it explode and finish them off....

but now


nothing



we should at least have some better form of melee attacks considering that's the only way we can do damage

i went holy spec and i can tell you right now hitting someone for 180 plus about 80 holy damage from one of my seals doesn't cut it when a priest, mage, rogue, warrior, warlock, shaman, and hunter are all pounding away at you criting every other hit


nope


i think paladins should be deleted

and a new class formed by someone who has an idea of what to do with melee healing classes

maybe the folks who worked on shamans

[Jim]

... so you're complaining about every class hitting you at once? I'm sure if I was hit with a lot of hard hitting attacks all at once my character would die as well. Any character would die more than likely.

If you want to do damage, do Retribution and Seal of Command. If you want to die slower do Protection or Holy.

It just sounds like you want everything all at once.


Oh, and it's normal for a Paladin to hit my Warlock for 450-500 per auto attack.
