*Warning, severe QQ and nerd rage ahead*

Hello, as some of you may already know, paladins are extremely overpowered. Since the beginning of WOTLK they were considered gods amongst mortals so to speak, but now they are...demi-gods amongst mortals (not nerfed enough blizzard!). There is not much for us non paladins to do in these dark, dark, DARK times except cry and listen to emo music as they faceroll us in battlegrounds and arenas. I mean seriously, where the fuck do those 12k crits from Divine storm and crusader strike come from? I'll tell you where. Paladins, thats who!
/rant mode deactivate
O.k, i'm being over dramatic here, but the burst damage they do is STILL in need of some serious tweaking blizz. My rogue should NOT be cut down so quickly in 2 cooldowns with over 700 resilience rating. Pfft resilience, thats another problem...it dosen't do donkey dick in helping with survival! Buff the damn stat or something!
Which is why i made this pic. The paladins...are at the top of the food chain now, all the other classes (except maybe Death Knights) are simply the prey. Paladins don't just simply 'defeat' us now, oh no no no. They 'DEVOUR' us! Whole...and alive.
No escape...=(

I do fine with my warlock against palidins, however, I do note my paladin IS more fun to play, and lives longer.

Mage and Warlock hard counter paladin. Paladins demolish everyone in 1v1s but lack serious anti-caster abilities, and fall flat vs. healers and casters. In arenas, if you/your healer can survive the paladin's first burst, you've won.
Outside of arenas, the game's not balanced whatsoever. Total shame, but nothing you can do.
and if you think your gnome getting devoured is embarassing, try watching your tauren lose to a dwarf. :<

Or gnomes win against a Raging Orc/Tauren :S

Q: what stops a one ton tauren wearing 320 kilograms of platemail with a 150 kg axe, charging 60 km/h at its target?
A: definitely not a gnome.

Gnomes r serious bizness = try healing finding them in raid

Bah, all other races are just jealous of the sheer magnitude of gnome awesomeness! >_>

Thats my excuse and i'm sticking with it! *continues jumping around ironforge like a loon*

It inspired you to draw this, so it can't be that bad.

I have a few different ways to deal with pallys.
When they drop their cds trinket out of there stun and vanish. Once in stealth wait for their cds to go away then stunlock them to death :)
They have shields but if they shield to heal then sprint off and restealth :)
Back to Pick - Yeah I always look at gnomes as dinner :P

Truth be told, paladins don't give me 'to' much trouble in pvp (unless they're human...yes hordie rogue is my main :P), despite my ranting would lead to believe. It's just that their burst damage is far more evident than most other classes. Seeing over 23k hp cut in half with one crusader strike is quite a morale breaker. :P
I have far more trouble with Blood/frost DK's and the largely increasing popular Prot warriors which i usually just leave alone in BG's if they're on the same gear lvl as me. :P
Different story in arena though. >_<

heh Fair call :P

You just know when they come at you with those wings up on their back that it's time to start running/crying but seriously enough if you know how to deal with them you can actually humiliate them sometimes... nerd mode aside i love the pic nerd mode on: For the Horde!
Posted by Maelstrom32 15 years ago Report
Seeing those wings usually sparks that sad 'Platoon' music score playing in my noggin' as they start to crit my face off. :P

On another note, May I color this? I myself have a paladin, and I'm in a guild called Gnome Ravagers. I just find it too fitting not to do so, however I'd like to ask permission first.
Posted by Maelstrom32 15 years ago Report
Of course, feel free to colour it. :)
Gnome Ravagers eh....*through gritted teeth* How...charming...
*proceeds to sharpen daggers*
Posted by HitomiBoy 15 years ago Report
I have a Gnome myself :3
I never specified what KIND of ravaging did I?

I've got a paladin in a guild "Seriously Hates Gnomes" ... when you can walk into a level 60 elite area at level 56, walk up to any dragon you see there and take it down without worry ... there's a slight problem.
As for the 12k crits, it's all in weapon speed. Get the biggest, nastiest, slowest weapon you can for a paladin and you'll do nuts for burst damage in retribution spec. Make sure to get Art of War for instacast exorcism. This just lets you rub your crits in their face. Deathknights, due to magical damage reduction, are the only class that can really stand up against a Paladin, the problem is that as soon as you start to really hurt a paladin, ut oh bubble, lay of hands, full health again. You basically have to kill a paladin 2 or 3 times to really make em dead. On a separate note Shaman Purge used to remove pally bubble back in the pre BC days. It was great.

Paladins, the bane of my Death Knight's existence. I find the best way to handle them is to not let the get close enough to hit me.
Luckily, I am an engineer. I have rocket boots and glove-mounted missile launchers. And stun grenades. Maybe I should get some pvp trinkets for when I'm gallivanting about Wintergrasp...

Reading your rant reminds me of my days playing FFXI. Of-course back then I had some thoughts just like this concerning the classes I felt were overpowered too. *blush*
Posted by Maelstrom32 15 years ago Report
I used to play that back in the day, was pretty good despite the rather flawed xp system (in my opinion) implemented, and the fact you could pretty much never solo anything once past lvl 15 or so.
But it was still pretty good despite that...*ponders the days being owned by goblin trains in yhoator jungle*
Good times. :)

Ret completely disappears from arena 2000+ they are easy to counter if you know what to do vs them. http://elitistjerks.com/ has really good info on class mechanics and pvp strategies.
Posted by viperxvii 15 years ago Report
X) Love the pic, makes it hard to hate the pally.
>.> PvP rogues seem to actually benefit more from damage gear than res. I have a set of 700-somethin res, but I die jus about as fast in it as I do with my damage gear(Thus I never really use the res set). However with good enough damage gear >.> I can take them out before they can take me pretty often :E ...The way I see it is: "a Rogue's defense is their abilities"
<.< That said, yea, Pallies are OP...but what I hate most is damn passive damage reflects like Damage Shield and Ret aura...grrr /angryfist

Awesome job, BTW!

:D new patch comin out, they can no longer self heal in battle.
Posted by Wolken 15 years ago Report
Yeah we still can :P We just can't use Lay on Hands right after Bubbling is all. We have to manually heal ourselves in a bubble now. And since ret pallys have rather good heals, you're still kinda screwed ^^; Sorry
Posted by The_Prof 15 years ago Report
well I play a pally, but worry you not he's a prot PvE pally... granted rogues still take forever to take me down ^_^
Posted by Wolken 15 years ago Report
XD Lol, I play a paladin. :P
I used to PvP in ret, but I find it's more useful for me to PvP as a tank. I don't do as much wondrous burst damage as I used to XD Lol, I can still hit hard, but it feels more like I just wear down the enemy, then actually doing damage.
Im just really hard to kill now XD
