They'd be OOM 2 minutes into a boss fight.<BR/><BR/>We fought a Prot Warrior in the Arena last night, so somebody is taking them.<BR/><BR/>Have you ever solo'ed as a Prot Paladin? We kill stuff pretty slow. <BR/><BR/>I don't see what soloing or PVP have to do with being able to be the best tank.<BR/><BR/>I put everything into tanking, I should be able to be the best tank.<BR/><BR/>Blizzard has stated that they don't want to see a strict heirarchy of tanks, or tanks measured to the third decimal. That says to me they want Prot Paladins to be every bit the tank a Prot Warrior is. Are we there, yet? Not yet, but we are close. My hope for the future is that we will be buffed to where what will truly matter for picking a tank is player skill, gear, talent selection, not class.Honors Codehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603644804340531952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-47727754216783454502007-07-05T13:30:00.000-04:002007-07-05T13:30:00.000-04:00god, I really messed that post up..I said warrior ...god, I really messed that post up..I said warrior about 2-3x where I meant to say paladin...I'm sure it makes no sense at all..but it won't let me edit the stupid thing!Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830144282196288830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-16192209392462011342007-07-05T13:29:00.000-04:002007-07-05T13:29:00.000-04:00If you're looking to be a perfectionist tank, you ...If you're looking to be a perfectionist tank, you want to do it better then anyone, and sacrifice everything else for it...I don't think the prot paladin is that class. I think the prot paladin is #2 on that list.<BR/><BR/>A prot warrior will never be taken to DPS a raid<BR/><BR/>A prot warrior could be taken to heal a raid (especially given the shortage of healers in the game)<BR/><BR/>A prot warrior will perform very poorly in most PvP situations, and will never be offered a spot on an areana team<BR/><BR/>A prot paladin makes a fairly effective PvP healer, possibly even better then priests, or druids, due to their durability.<BR/><BR/>A prot warrior cannot solo for crap, his DPS is very minimal, and he has no ability to heal himself.<BR/><BR/>A prot warrior solo's reasonably well, not the best DPS by any means, but, better then a prot warrior, and you've still got the survivability, and can heal yourself to boot.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>So I guess in summary..I see the prot warrior as the perfectionist tank, who sacrifices EVERYTHING to be considered the #1 tank in the game. I see the prot paladin as probably the #2 best tank, but a guy who can still do a variety of other things reasonably well.<BR/><BR/>I could see myself fitting in as a Prot paladin, much more then a prot warrior....the prot warrior is just too 1 dimmentional.Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830144282196288830noreply@blogger.com
