Ah, you got me, you baited me. I said I was done here, but guess not.
You know, the title of the thread is "Paladins really do suck."... I suppose you expected something other than whining?
Actually, wasn't being bitter was just sharing agreement with the OP and what I had found as a solution to the problem. Of course, they nerfed that solution pretty much right when I found it.
Ultimately, it is the scrapping, clawing, working my butt off, dying many times to finally get to a point where I can say man, this is really cool, I am really awesome...only to have them nerf us somehow by some justification that is uncommunciated and completely arbitrary... its a bitter taste and I've had enough of it. I wonder if other MMORGs have the nerf phenomenon?
Look at what these people are saying right now... touting us as aggro managers... well, that was true and that was cool in DOF (sort of, not neccessarily the best strategy to pick the tank barely more survivable than a scout because they can get aggro huh?)... but what did they do? they nerfed it. Same thing now... crusaders are finding that they have a way to add consistent value to a group - who doesn't want extra dps? - and they found that and now they are cutting that in half.
I'm tired of people telling me what to be... we can be whatever we want... but whatever we do, invariably the nerf bat will hit us again so I don't really see a point any more.
