Sorry Chop... you're dead wrong here. The mitigation bonuses that a guardian or berserker have over paladins are VERY small with diminishing returns. The only thing a zerker or guardian have over a paladin as far as avoidance is a bit more parry (which is easily capped with adornments and the proper group set up)In addition.... Paladins have the BEST avoidance vs epics in the game. A paladin with a tower shield and specced down the hero line will have a substantially higher block chance. That is the BEST form avoidance vs epic mobs. That is not just an opinion, it is fact and game mechanics.There are some tweaks the paladin class can use... but to say we're broken because they cannot PvP well solo is a falsehood, imo
and what did i say? more mitigation, which is correct.. and more defense which is correct... yes paladins do get % to block that is a little better, like 2% when you break it down, and paladins parry skill is far lower than a guardian or beserker in turn lowering the paladins overall avoidance, and dps<- yes dps, when you parry as a guardian and beserker you have a chance at an attack.. and a paladins parry is far lower, not just a little lower.. even with 2% parry adorns and if pallys have so much of that epic only avoidance which is suppose to be +block %, why do pallys get hit so freakin hard by epics? go figure..
evidently you havent seen the parses a paladin put up a few months ago comparing his guardian with his paladin, the guardian absorbed so much more damage it was stupid.. but yet you say i'm wrong? go figure
i said all of that.. yet you say i'm wrong? this is the reason this board is all screwed up..
people put in thier thoughts on a class that they've played for a while [over a year], tanking labs lyceum and deathtoll, you would think they would know, but yet people want to try and say your wrong in the matter. it happens every [Removed for Content] time..... tell me i'm wrong, i know i'm right, because i have a zerker and a paladin..
your wrong rocsthemic, you need to play a different class to see the difference
