I agree, currently there is no reason for someone to roll a pally... We can solo mostly easier green heroics but when the mobs are blue or higher it gets scarey. I have a pretty uber pally and if I try to fight a blue or even heroic I spend my mana on wards and sence most of our CA's have an insane recast time makes it tough. So solo wise were not that great I would say equal to a guard. As a group tank were great we can hold agro awsome but most all tanks can so there is nothing there that makes pallys speacial. When it come to raiding man this is when it gets sad, were the waterboy, people dont invite a pally to a raid for dps when they could take obviously a dps class. Were not invited for our heals well cause compaired to a real healers there weak close to pathetic. For a tank a raid is going to chose a guard or zerker for obvious reasons. At this point if you want the over all package I would say go for a zerker they can tank fine in group and epic content and have insane dps. If you want an uber MT who can tank 98% of all epic content chose a guard, they may have little to no dps but when your standing toe to toe with the toughest mobs in game that concern goes right out the window.... Pallys need help and so do our evil coucins, really disappointed to use to raid all the T6 content now I buff a guard and ward. Lol and Im a tank, hmm doesnt sound like 1..
