A Dev's response

We got a reply...<hr size="2" width="100%">"By invoking both protective and healing magic, the Paladin can often survive battles that would crumble those of lesser resolve, but not to be considered a main tank ,"I think it works much better as it is, but thanks for the feedback!<hr size="2" width="100%">Taken from: http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=echoesoffaydwer&message.id=29324#M29324<div></div>

<P>I saw that as well, Liluk. That (in my opinion) was set in a response to a thread where someone was setting themselves up for a smart retort (that is to say, I agree with the reasons for locking the thread). I am hoping for a more well thought out and overall general response to the issues of balance, etc.</P> <P>Having played in the beta, even with fizzles gone, it is still no real compensation when you are going down, trying to ward yourself, and all you hear is "BZZT" spell starts autorecasting "BZZT" spell starts autorecasting "BZZT" all because your wards and heals are being interupted.</P>

Aye. The rate of interrupts in the "new version" are far worse than the fizzles we endured before.~Sir Hawke Holyblayde, Hero of Maj'Dul<div></div>

[lavasoul]

Yea the fizzle is gone but something else took its place.

[kellan123]

Paladins don't wear makeup. We [try to] smite Unholy evil.<div></div>

[Magnis]

<DIV>LOL, man when I read the OP's first post I though that was a Dev's actual belief that a pally was. I was CRUSHED!!!!:smileysad: but then I read that thread and feel ok.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Still lov my pally</DIV>

<P>"but not to be considered a main tank "  Yup and raid groups usually say "Thanks but we already have a pali". Sorry our guild already has a couple palis..thats too many already"  </P> <P>If we can't be MT than crank the DPS way up..:smileywink:</P>
